A Guide for Engineering Students The visa rejection rate for applications from India to Australia is **24.3%**. It is due to incorrect documentation. You certainly want to avoid being part of that statistic. Engineers Australia uses the CDR report to see if an engineer meets Australian engineering standards. It depends on the Australian **Engineering Competency Standards (ECS)**. It decides if an engineer can be registered as a Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist, or Engineering Associate in Australia. Engineers need a good CDR report for visas and job applications in Australia.   ## **What is a CDR?** A Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) is a set of documents that **Engineers Australia **need to evaluate engineering skills for Australian immigration. It is necessary in two cases: - When qualifications are not accredited - When applications come from countries outside recognized agreements. So, CDR is a **detailed report** that engineers must submit with their application for an Australian Skilled Migration Visa. Its main purpose is to prove that the applicant has the necessary skills, qualifications, and competencies in their engineering field. ** ** ### **Purpose of the CDR** - Engineers Australia uses the CDR to check if an applicant's credentials and professional experience meet Australian engineering standards and competencies. - It assesses the applicant's engineering expertise. It aims to determine their qualification to practice in Australia. [**Free Consultation**](https://www.kansaz.in/free-consultation) ## **Who needs a CDR report?** A Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) is needed by Engineers Australia for engineers who wish to immigrate to Australia and apply for a Skilled Migration Visa, like: - **Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)** - **Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)** - **Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491).** Engineers Australia is also known as **IEAust or EA**. It assesses and evaluates these reports for skills assessments. As a non-profit organization, EA plays a key role in developing the engineering discipline. The CDR is crucial documentation needed for qualification in one of EA's four occupational categories: 1. Professional Engineers 2. Engineering Technologist 3. Engineering Associate 4.
