So I've received an e-mail from the Australian High Commission in Ottawa, which if I may take an aside is an awesome name for a boring building. I don't know about you, but I was picturing something more like the picture below.
But unfortunately it was just this...
Anyway, there were four new requirements I had to get before my Visa went through. According to my Australian coordinator they have never asked for these requirements before, but it might be a new hoop exchangees need to go through.
This is the letter:
Dear Mr. Cove,
I
am writing in relation to your Temporary Work (International relations)
visa. In order to continue with the assessment of your application,
please provide:
- Letter issued by government of Alberta endorsing your participation in the 2018 Calendar Year Teacher Exchange Program; and
- Letter issued by the South Australian Government ratifying your participation in the Teacher Exchange Program and listing your accompanying family members by name (spouse and children); and
- Employment letter (issued by your declared employer) confirming your position, length of employment, participation in the Teacher Exchange Program and advising if your salary will continue to be paid by your employer whilst in Australia; and
- Please confirm the exact dates in which you are planning to arrive to and depart from Australia.
Thank you. Please respond to this request by 27 September 2017.
Kind regards
So far I have 3 out of 4 and am getting the 4th Monday.
The Australian High Commission: 0
Mr. Cove: 1
3 months to go!
