If you have submitted your CDR through a courier company, then you will most likely have a tracking number. Track your CDR after 5 days and it should be in Australia that time and will take another day or two to reach the Engineers Australia office.
Your CDR will officially be in Engineers Australia records once you receive an email (first and later an official receipt/letter through snail mail) with a contact ID.
As of this post, the lead time for (non-recognized) skills assessment outcome is 16 weeks. It took my result the same amount of time to arrive. However this may change, and to know, you can check the progress of Engineers Australia's assessment. Using the email address you registered in your skills assessment application, send an email:
To: msastatus@engineersaustralia.org.au
Subject: status
...while you leave the body of the email blank. In a few minutes, you will receive an automated reply and will show the submissions being assessed.
For more updates, stay tuned with me.
Do you need help with your CDR? We have decided to make available our experience in writing our own CDRs (and our friend's) to YOU.
If you are of engineering background and your skills assessment requires you to submit a competency demonstration report to Engineer's Australia, and you don't know how to start. Perhaps you have started your preparation and may need someone with an experience to review your work and give recommendations on how to further improve it, then this might just be an opportunity for you.

Hi
ReplyDeleteGood day to you. I just sent an email, and it said that currently a case officer is assessing applications from June 28 2013. I submitted by application on August 30 2013. So would it be safe to say that I will receive my application in around 2 months?
Hi Philip,
DeleteIt really depends. The update from engineers australia does not provide information on how many applications they are processing as of date. The volume of application and their speed of assessment are two great factors, but as engineers we can usually project when our applications will be assessed.
Cheers, JPZ

hi, I hv checked the same update and got it is in process with the cdr of 29th june. but my date of receipt is 19th june. That date already shown in their 10th sep update. But yet not get any reply. So pls tell me how many days it will take to get the outcome after assessing.
ReplyDeleteHi Saugata Bose,
DeleteYour mail should be on its way. It usually takes a week or two to reach, may vary on how frequent your local post office deliver. Try calling your local post office if there's anything for you.
Cheers, JPZ
thanks dude waiting for the mail. Yet not got any email from case officer, so what will be the chance of outcome. I am a civil enngineer with 7yrs exp.
ReplyDeleteHi Saugata,
DeleteOnly Engineers Australia have the say. Usually it's a positive outcome as long as you have satisfied all that was asked. Relax.
Please let us know here once you have received your outcome letter from Engineers Australia.
Cheers, JPZ
2 days back i have received the letter of Engineers Australia and it is positive. Lodge EOI and going for SS. Interested for WA. May I hv some feedback regarding WA SS.
ReplyDeleteWell congratulations Saugata.
DeleteCheers! JPZ
Hello Mr. JP,
ReplyDeleteI have just submitted my requirements for the skills assessment. I am quite confused bec. our documentation officer said that a CDR is not necessary (I am not complaining though since I don't really have any significant accomplishments to put in my CDR). I am just like you, a licensed Electronics Engr. I would like to know why you decided to submit a CDR? And I think the fee is also more expensive when you include your CDR in your application.
Thanks. I frequently check and read and reread your posts. :)
More Power!
Hello, you will only need to make and submit a CDR if wish to be assessed through engineers australia as a professional engr, eng technologist, or engineering manager. So, if your pathway is skilled migration and your skill is on the occupation list and engineers australia is the assessing body, then you will need one.
Deleteif I may ask, what sort of visa are you applying for? are you aiming for a skilled migration process? what is your occupation?
cheers,
JPZ
Hi Sir JP, thanks for your feedback. I am applying for skilled migration. I am a Software Quality Engineer and this is the ANZSCO code 263211 (ICT Quality Assurance Engineer) I put when I submitted the requirements for Skills Assessment Application to the Australian Computer Society. I think we have the same agency as you did when you started your application and the documentation officer assigned to us said that I don't need to submit a CDR. and yes, the assessing body is engrs australia.
Deletemore power,
anon
I would like to correct what I wrote above. My assessing body is Australian Computer Society and not Engrs Australia. So i guess that is the reason why I don't need to submit a CDR?
DeleteThanks,
Anon
Hi Anon,
DeleteThat is correct, ACS does not require a CDR. Only engineers australia.
Cheers,
JP
hi, i just mailed my CDR application last feb 10, 2014 as of now I have not receive any reply yet from EA, could it be that my application is rejected?
ReplyDeleteHi Francis,
Delete"When your application arrives, a receipt will be posted to you
within 5 to 7 working days. The receipt will specify your
Contact ID (CID) number. Please use this number in
correspondence with Engineers Australia."
"If there are any deficiencies in your submission you will be
notified in writing. If the application is successful you will
receive an assessment outcome letter suitable for migration
purposes. Please note that the assessment outcome letter
has no expiry date from Engineers Australia’s perspective."
These are excerpts from engineers australia handbook.
However, since you have not received any, you might want to shoot them an email at Migration Skills Assessment , tell them your concern.
They should be able to respond within a day or two.
I hope this can help you with your matter of concern.
Cheers,
John
Hello Mr. John,
ReplyDeleteI mailed my CDR application on Jan 20, 2014 and till now I have not received any reply from EA on assessment outcome letter suitable for migration purposes. Can you please update me on the time frame for assessment outcome letter, as its been 9 weeks as of now.
Thanks.
Hi, engineers australia has a standard assessment outcome response of 19 weeks for un-accredited qualification and 8 weeks for the accredited. If you have an accredited qualification, then you might need to wait for another week for the letter to arrive by mail. This will also be dependent on where you are and how the mail can get to you.
DeleteI hope I have answered your question.
Cheers,
JP
Thanks for reply John.
DeleteHi John,
DeleteI quick query on criteria for receiving CID no. As i have not received CID no yet. Can yo please update me on this.
Thanks.
Hi John,
DeleteAlso one more query, is CID no. received upon fee being redeemed for CDR? Or Fee will be redeemed before assessment outcome letter is dispatched? Please help me with my query's.
Awaiting for your reply
Thanks.
Hello,
DeleteYou should receive your CID within a few days after money has been debited from your nominated bank account.
Presently, Engineers Australia can provide an outcome letter after ~19 weeks after submission.
I hope I answered your query.
Cheers,
JP
Hi John,
DeleteMy agent says that he did not received CID no yet. And also for payment i have given Credit card Details and no update on redemption is received yet. It already been 9-10 weeks and no fee is redeemed, i dont knw what i should do. My agent is asking me to wait for 19 weeks to get CID. How should i make it forward?
Thanks,
Hi,
DeleteIf your credit card has not been debited the assessment fee, then engineers australia have not processed your application.
Engineers australia will send you a receipt within 5-7 working days upon receipt of your application. The receipt specifies the contact ID (CID) number (I.e. Reference Number)"
Ask your agent to track with the courier where your parcel is. It could be somewhere and not with engineers australia.
Cheers,
JP
Hello JPZ
ReplyDeleteI sent my application on 1st July 2013 via courier to EA.
I received my Contact ID no. on 21st Oct. 2103.
Still there is no update from EA regarding outcome. I have sent my documents through an agent. I am a mechanical engineer with 5.5 years exp.
My agent is telling me to wait for some time. But I think already a time of 19 weeks has crossed and am worried about that. Agent also says that your outcome is positive. Can u please suggest me something how to proceed, should I directly contact EA.
Regards
Preet
Hi Preet,
DeleteIf you submitted your assessment through your agent and that you nominated them to receive your outcome letter, then the letter will be sent to your agent.
Your agent should work with engineers australia by contacting them if an outcome has been decided upon and/or the letter has been sent to them from EA.
My question is, how did your agent know that your assessment outcome is positive?
Cheers,
JP
Hi JP
DeleteI don't how he came to know. But when I repeatedly followed up with him, then he replied me about positive assessment. But the thing is can EA take more than a time of 19 weeks also.
Regards
Preet,
DeleteThat is why, speak to your agent, ask them how they got to know the assessment outcome. And if it has been more than 19 weeks since your agent sent your application, and you have not received a CID, then most likely, i am assuming that EA did not receive your application.
JP,
DeleteI received the CID but not the outcome. I received CID in oct 2013.
Preet
ok, i must have mistakenly responded to this comment frrom the others.
Deleteif you received a CID, then EA have your application. If you have not received your outcome letter, then you can either wait for your agent to receive it, or contact EA straight away and ask them if they have sent you/your agent an outcome letter.
Today I got an Information from my agent saying that.. EA has requested an extra fees of 20 $ more, as when your application was received, the fees was increased by 20 $. I received CID in Oct. 2013, I think at that time fees was 600 $. And I had sent them a dd of 600 S. So why are they asking more money.
DeleteRegards
Preet
John, waiting for ur reply.
DeleteHi Preet,
DeleteWhat is your question?
Dear Sir,
DeleteThank you for this payment fee. The payment of AUD$20.00 will be processed shortly.
Kind regards
This is the reply given by EA, after 5 Months.
Why the assessment is being delayed? What could be the possible reason? Has there been any mistake done by agent or something else?
Hi JP,
ReplyDeleteI submitted on Nov 13th 2013 and currently the email from EA shows that Dec 2013 cases are under review. at the sametime, I have no status for my case. what to do?
thanks
Hi Owais,
DeleteDid you receive a CID from EA? what was the date on the receipt? Usually, it takes 2 weeks for the mail to get to your mailing address (may vary from where you are). You should have your assessment outcome by now.
Did you submit it yourself or through an agent?
Can you double check?
What is ur stream.. I mean mechanical or what..??
ReplyDeleteHi Preet,
DeleteTo whom is your question addressed to?
Cheers,
JP
Hi, I have submitted CDR on 8th July and it took 2-3 weeks for engineers australia to reply with CID no. and just now I checked the status of application: as per them currently 12th May 2014 CDR are under assessment. So, how long it will take for my assessment to begin?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteAs of this time, EA mentions the timeline in their website:
http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment
It is approx 13 weeks for non accredited application, and 8 weeks for those accredited.
Cheers,
JP
Hi JP
ReplyDeleteWhat is the process to have ones assesment outcome to be sent through a courier service rather than normal snail mail. I want to avoid possible loss of letter and also need it fast.
Thanks.
You have to pre-arrange a courier service, or include a prepaid courier envelope to have your mail sent back to you. if you have not made those arrangements, EA will snail mail it to you and during my time, was estimated to arrive in 12 days. May depend on your local post office as well.
DeleteHi JP
ReplyDeleteIts been 10 days since my application has been received by the Engineers Australia but have not received the Contact ID (CID). I called them and they told me that they only send the CID by mail which will take a fortnight to reach me. But you have mentioned that they send an email as well??
I remembered receiving an email that they have received my application. The email contained my CID#. But then again, that was three years ago. Things might have changed recently.
DeleteHi JP !
ReplyDeleteThis is my first here. Thanks to you for your tremendous job.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer with around 6yrs experience.
I submitted my CDR on 5th May 2014 and got the receipt mail on 16th May with CID.
I submitted my CDR without taking IELTS exam. Later I took IELTS exam and band score were:
1st Time : S-6 , L- 6.6 ; R-5 , W-6 (7th June 2014 )
2nd Time : S-6.5 , L- 6. ; R-6 , W-5.5 (6th September 2014 )
On 29th September I claimed against my writing score (2nd one) and I need to wait 6 to 8 weeks to get the result.
One of my friend told me that since in two exam I scored 6 (min) in each band so I should send both IELTS result. Because it is acceptable by Engineers Australia.
At this moment I'm really confused that what should I do ?
On the other hand its already 19 weeks over and Engineers Australia did not respond about any deficiency yet.
As far as I know, you can only send one IELTS test result with the passband that EA requires. I am not sure if you can submit both. But to be sure, do good with your IELTS to get a good passmark in just one test result.
Deletecheers,
JP
Thanks for your feedback
DeleteHello Guys,
DeleteI have a similar issue but I got
1st Time : S-6.5 , L- 5.0 ; R-6.5 , W-6
2nd Time : S-7 , L- 7.5. ; R-8 , W-5.5
I had paid for the remarking and I received a letter from IELTS that my results are maintain unchanged.
My doubt, Engineer Australia accept two IELTS TRF in order to probe our English level is enough to work as Engineer in Australia?
I'd rather not try that as EA did not explicitly mention you can submit more than one IELTS TRF. To be safe, submit one TRF with the required scores in each band.
Deletecheers,
JP
I can ensure that EA accept more than one IELTS result, if you are able to score minimum 6 in each band (combine) .
DeleteFew months ago I sent my two IETS TRF and EA accepted it.
Hello John,
ReplyDeleteI submitted by CDR application in the month of OCT this year and the money was deducted from my CC on 08th OCT 2014. But till date I havent received any CID from EA. Is this normal ??
The CID comes as a receipt through snail mail. You should have it within two weeks (standard response from EA). But can take longer depending on your location. I did not receive mine either after submitting it but still got my assessment 16 weeks later.
DeleteCheers,
JPZ
Thanks for your reply. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
DeleteHello John,
DeleteI received my CID yesterday :)
Very well then. Now you can sit back, relax, wait, and hope for the best.
DeleteCheers,

Dear John,
ReplyDeleteI submitted a manual application engineering Australia and recieved a contact id as well. I used that contact id to sign up with Engineering Australia. My question is what is the use of that contact id? will i be notified of any shortcomings in the application through that portal?
the contact id is just like your customer id with engineers Australia. That means you, as an applicant, is identified by that particular contact id.
DeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteI have sent you an email regarding the assistance of CDR. Could you please check the email. I look forward to your reply.
will check
DeleteThanks John. I look forward to your email soon. Cheers
DeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteI submitted my application to EA on 15th August 2014 and my CC was debited on 19th August 2014. I checked the status today, it states that application received on 27th August 2014 is with accessing officer and when I checked last application received on 15th August was with accessing officer. I am confused now as my application date never came in status check. I want to know what does it mean exactly ? Is my application accessed or it is with accessing officer ?
Kindly reply asap. Thanks in advance.
Hi, there is not much information really about those dates. All you need is to take note of the date your application was received. In your case, 27th of August 2014. Use that date to monitor the progress of the assessments.
DeleteHi John,
DeleteThanks for the reply. You mean I have to wait 10 more days to get my assessment result. One more thing, how can I check the assessment progress using CID ?
Hi I have lodged my application online to engineers Australia,also I have paied the fee by card, but my application is not submitted yet, I can see all sections including payment section and modify them yet, no email no notification, but the money is charged, could you help?tnx
