What will CDR Review Australia do to assist me?

EA could reject a CDR, ask you to resubmit it, or evaluate you for a lower category than you had hoped for – all based on technicalities you were unaware of. Many engineers who applied for Visa 189 as Professional Engineers were turned down because their CDR evaluation result labelled them as “Engineering Technologist” or “Engineering Associate,” despite having a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Engineering. If you are listed as a different group, you may not make it onto the SOL list and may not be invited to an immigration interview at all, or if you do make it to Australia, you may be disqualified for those jobs for which you are otherwise qualified.

Some of the main reasons why CDR gets rejected include:

• Excessive use of technical information like charts, equations, images, and diagrams.
• Instead of paragraphs, build CE content in the form of bullet points.
• Copying and pasting anything in your project, especially academic and work-related details.
• Describe the same project in two Career Episodes – even if you mention different aspects or details of the project.
• Focus on a group activity or teamwork without much mention about what role you specifically played in the project. If you do not talk about your duties and responsibilities and how you executed them, how will EA assess your capabilities?
• Though EA allows you to write your career episodes in different languages (if you include the translations with your CDR report), yet, it is advisable to write career episodes in Australian English only. CDR report that is not formatted properly may also lead to a negative impression on assessors.
• Issue statements, steps and technologies you used to address issues, information about design initiatives you were a part of, and environmental and personnel protection measures are not included.
• Many engineers make the mistake of skipping information like the company profile and the project’s goals, site, and length in their CDR report.

We pay attention to all of these information and more during the CDR analysis, and we have a comprehensive report about what improvements the CDR needs in order to receive a favorable assessment..
