ACS requires sufficient evidence to verify your paid employment and that your pay is commensurate with the skill level for your position. Cash payments will not be accepted as sufficient evidence of paid employment.
For each period of employment, you must provide:
Acceptable payment evidence includes:
Documents not in English will need to be translated.
Bank Statements submitted as payment evidence must include all the following to be accepted.
The original documents to be uploaded in your application may be paper-based or electronic and must be formatted as per the table.
Paper-based original documents
|
Electronic original documents
|
---|---|
Upload high-quality colour scans (at least 300 dpi). Scan all documents at the same resolution (dpi).
|
Upload original files.
|
Ensure all the edges are visible so that the document does not look cropped.
|
If documents are digitally signed, do not combine them with any other document.
|
Consolidate all pages into one PDF document for each qualification.
|
If original PDFs are password-protected for reading, then attach a separate PDF document with a table containing file names and passwords.
|
In some cases, payment evidence older than 10 years before the date of submission may be difficult to obtain. ACS will consider this when assessing the overall merits of an application. For countries without income tax, ACS may accept government-issued work permits or residence permits, or other government-issued documents that clearly show the employer’s name and employment date instead of the secondary payment evidence.
You can start the process now and come back to it any time you like. All you need is proof of ID and a way to pay your application fee – Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal are all accepted.
