During my research of the info recovered from DIAC website, it seems that the first step in the Visa application is getting the ACS to assess our skills. Depending on our skills, we could get 50 or 60 points, and possibly even MODL, which in laymans terms means "The quick list". I peeked on the MODL list and my job position is on there ! So we decided that we would use my MODL skills to get the visa. That way, we could possibly get it faster ( although noone can tell for sure it really helps in getting the visa faster ).
The first step will be to get everything that is not english translated into english. This has to be done officially by an official, accredited translator. I found a great website : www.snelvertaler.nl which promises to be fast, efficient and cheap.
Well, I'm always up for those virtues, so I have tried them out. To my utter surprise, I have gotten both my french diploma and my dutch diploma all translated with apostille for 120 euro's and within a week. This is indeed fast, cheap and good. I would definately use them again if I had anything to be translated again ( but it doesn't look like I will need anything translated soon ).
I also copied all my english MCSE and MCDBA diploma's and exams, plus passport copies and birth certificates and a lot more required documents. All in all, it amounted to a STAGGERING 100 pages ! Since I needed some documents 4 times, it was clear that this would cost HOURS to legalize at a civil notary. After some calls I found a guy who would copy them , but he charged 260 Euro's for the whole pack of paper. Well, it's for a good cause.
Anyway, I seem to have all the paperwork together. I'll send it up as soon as I'm sure all the paperwork is included !
