How to apply for skilled immigrants in Australia

First, to apply for skilled migration, you must first look at whether your major is on the immigration list SOL.

The list of skilled occupations is a guide to planning Australian immigrants. Learn to understand this list, which major is related to specific occupations, which university offers this course, and what specific requirements the evaluation institution has. These dual experts who need to be proficient in Australian universities and Australian immigration policies can make a deep interpretation, which ordinary study agents can't explain clearly.

Of course, even if your occupation is on the immigration list, it depends on whether there are enough places. Australia adopts Skillselect optimization plan, which means that the higher your immigration score, the easier it is to get the government invitation to apply for PR!

In addition, for applicants who have obtained state government guarantee and employer guarantee, if they want to choose another comprehensive list of vocational skills (CSOL(SOL). Schedule 1 and 2), you need to check whether your major is on the list or not and know the details of technical evaluation. For example, Victoria guarantees all PhD graduates in the state as long as their major is on the list of CSOL. New South Wales regularly launches its own guarantee major, so you may wish to pay attention to the specific state guarantee policy before graduation.

Second, apply for the government EOI immigration invitation under the optimal scheme, and get the admission ticket through scoring.

SKillSelect policy is adopted by skilled immigrants in Australia, which means that only when your comprehensive strength meets certain requirements, you submit your immigration intention EOI, and you are at the front of the applicant queue can you get an invitation from the government. The success of applying for skilled migration depends on your score in PointsTest, which is based on your skills and work experience. Studying in Australia does not guarantee that you can get Australian immigrants, but there are some other ways to help you improve your chances of being approved and greatly improve your scores.

1. Pay attention to the basic requirements. You can get an extra +5 points for studying in Australia for two years.

GSM immigrants set basic requirements for age, education and English. For example, they are between 18-49 years old. Before application, the IELTS score must be above 6 (equivalent English proficiency in medical major or other English tests).

The Australian government found that overseas students quickly adapted to life in Australia by studying abroad, and it was easier for them to find jobs than overseas direct immigrants. At the same time, in order to promote Australian education, I gave a big gift, and I can get +5 points for studying in Australia for at least 2 academic years. This requires completing two academic years (not less than 16 natural months and four semesters) in Australia and obtaining academic qualifications, including 25% courses that allow online or distance learning. In addition, undergraduate courses should be no less than 16, and master courses should be no less than 12. Two-year courses can be composed of multiple degrees, such as undergraduate 1 year+master 1 year, but these degrees are definitely related and cannot be said to have nothing in common.

Many students don't understand these requirements, blindly transfer too many credits, irrelevant majors, and exchange students abroad, which may lead to the inability to meet the conditions of this two-year study.

2. Extend the time through the 485 visa

After studying in Australia for two academic years, international students can apply for a postgraduate work visa in Australia, which is another advantage of studying in Australia. This kind of work visa is 485, but there are two specific types. If the applicant is a SOL list major, he can apply for a temporary visa for graduates of1August subclass 485 TR (skills-temporary residence visa for graduates subclass 485). Applicants who are not in SOL can apply for a 2-4-year work visa for graduates of 485 PSW if they submit their student visas for degree courses for the first time after 201105. PSW is not limited to majors, and you can apply directly after graduating from IELTS 6. Visa 485 can give foreign students more time to improve their English, attend PY training and gain some work experience in Australia, so that you can get more points in the performance test. There are also differences between TR and PSW visas, so I won't go into details here.

Remember to complete the necessary degree.

After graduating from high school, you cannot bring skilled immigrants. You must continue to study to get a higher education, so it may be worthwhile to improve your skills and knowledge. For example, from junior college to undergraduate diploma, junior college diploma and mechanic certificate can get you 10, undergraduate can get 15, and doctor can get 20 points. Remember that you must have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree to apply for a work visa for 485 graduates, and a diploma from TAFE can also apply for a TR visa.

Australia's academic system is more reasonable. For example, in Australia, you have a three-year bachelor's degree in computer science and an honorary bachelor's degree 1 year, and then you have a doctoral degree for more than three years. In China, you have to have a four-year bachelor's degree, a three-year postgraduate degree and a three-to four-year doctoral degree, but you can't study10-1year.

After graduation, you can submit a visa without waiting for the school to issue a diploma, get a report card, and the school to open a letter of completion.

4. Improve your English. 7 points is sometimes+10, so immigration is very convenient.

Immigrant applicants with good English (7 points in four IELTS courses) or excellent English (8 points in four IELTS courses) can get extra points of 10 and 20 respectively.

We cooperate with professional teachers every year to help many foreign students take the IELTS test. Under normal circumstances, reaching four sevens is equivalent to getting an immigrant ticket. I have met 8-point IELTS customers above 10, so there are still some masters.

Of course, IELTS's decision on immigration scores is relatively unfavorable to Chinese, but beneficial to Indians. The data shows that the number of Indian skilled immigrants to China was 1: 1 three years ago, and last year it was 1:3, which shows that this policy is unreasonable. On the one hand, we should lobby the Immigration Bureau to reduce or increase other points for this imbalance. On the other hand, we should catch up and learn the language well.

Learning a language is actually a cultural issue. Hundreds of our clients often get 6-6.5 points in their writing, while others get 7 points. Later, Li Xiang was entrusted to specialize in writing. His method soon changed China's writing logic and grammar. According to the Australian's thinking, even with ordinary vocabulary, he can quickly come up with a 7-point composition. International students are advised to work hard on their language, read more Australian newspapers, listen to local radio stations, learn about local folk customs and make more Australian friends. Since the validity period of IELTS for immigrants is 3 years, the preparation for IELTS score 7 should start as early as possible.

5. Studying in remote areas: +5 points

International students who have completed two years of study in remote areas of Australia can get 5 points, knowing which areas belong to remote areas. For example, the University of South Australia, university of tasmania, Deakin University Geelong Campus and La Trobe University Bendigo Campus.

Living in a remote area for two years requires proof of rental contract, bank records, various bills and so on.

Remind everyone that the current immigration law stipulates that you will get 5 points if you study in a remote area for 2 years, but the law clearly points out that you don't have to complete this degree in a remote area. In other words, if you study as a freshman or sophomore in a remote area and finish your degree as a junior in Melbourne, you can still get these 5 points, which is good news for students who want to develop employment opportunities in big cities.

6. Age

Your age also has a great influence on your score. For example, people under the age of 25 only get 25 points, people aged 25-32 can get 30 points, and people aged 45-49 are not eligible for extra points. Older students should get extra points in many ways. Many students are only 22-23 years old when they graduate from undergraduate courses, resulting in an immigrant score of only 45, even if IELTS score is 7, it is only 55. At this time, it is necessary to calculate other bonus factors, calculate the length of the 485 visa, and whether you can get these five extra age bonus points before the expiration, so as to decide whether to apply for the 485 visa or continue to study for a master's degree after graduation, because the 485 visa can only be applied once and cannot be abolished first.

In addition, it is basically impossible for friends over 40 to study abroad through skilled immigration, and they can't make up for their age loss of 30 points in any case. If their children have entered middle school, they should make good money to send their children to study abroad. After their skilled immigrants work in Australia, they can guarantee their parents to emigrate. According to the current 143, it will take 1 year and a half to help parents become permanent residents in Australia.

7. Work experience: one year work experience in Australia +5 points.

Your occupation is on the list of technical occupations. The longer your work experience, the higher your score. You can consider doing some professional-related work after studying to gain work experience, which will help you apply for a temporary visa for graduates. Even if you have only 1 year working experience in Australia, you can get 5 points, and your previous working experience outside Australia can also give you extra points. Of course, this work experience requires academic qualifications. If it is an immigrant occupation starting with 2, it must be counted after the undergraduate course. Before the undergraduate course, I was semi-skilled, but I can't count.

As for overseas work experience, based on the relevant work experience in the past 10 years, only 5 points are given for 3 years, 0 points for 5 years 10, and 0 points for 8 years 15. Many domestic customers work in China after graduating from undergraduate courses, but if the employment records are incomplete and the units are not standardized, it will be very troublesome to get out social security and work orders, and the embassy is likely to make a surprise inspection at home.

If Australian Turtles want to immigrate back after working in China for several years, the five points of studying in Australia for two years will not expire, so it is not difficult to immigrate as long as they meet the IELTS requirements again. For example, immigration majors such as civil engineers studying in Australia have returned to China to work for five years, and they are 29 years old, so they are 30+ degree 15+ two years of studying in Australia and 5+ five years of domestic experience 10 =60 points, as long as they are IELTS.

8. Complete the annual professional training project Py:+5 points.

In order to help foreign students integrate into the Australian workplace, the Australian government invented the 1 1 month Professional Year, which is a structured career development project consisting of formal study and internship. Those who complete the professional year program can gain valuable Australian work experience and be eligible for an additional 5 points. This specialized course * * * 1 1 month. The first eight months are to study theory and culture, language and job-hunting skills, and the last three months are to arrange an internship in a local company for three months. At present, only computer science courses, financial accounting and engineering majors are available, so they are eligible for extra points.

Then the best bonus for computer, accounting and engineering students should be the professional year. It is not so easy for graduates to find a job. First, there is no visa that meets the requirements of the employer. Second, no experience. In the cases I have handled, most of the clients who have jobs, 70% are found by family relationships. So I think the existence of career years is a good thing: 1, tuition is not expensive, 1 ten thousand Australian dollars. 2, the first 7 months of the course is relatively easy, two nights, or one day on the weekend. Three or three months of full-time internship has benefited many graduates. 4, of course, the most important thing is to add 5 points.

Judging the quality of a major for one year mainly depends on whether the theoretical course is taught in small classes, whether it is practical, whether the professional authority in the industry is invited, whether the unit arranged for the three-month internship is effective, and whether the school provides additional value-added services. Because of the different quality of courses and different fees, some PY courses cost 12000 Australian dollars, and some only cost 8000-9000 Australian dollars. Many of our international students have a common problem, that is, they like to take advantage of small things. In fact, PY career year has three advantages, which can help applicants get career evaluation (computer and accounting), add 5 points to immigrants, and help them find good jobs and keep them. According to statistics, at least13 of the internship units arranged by good PY institutions have left PY students, while those internship units arranged by PY institutions that make soy sauce basically do not employ small companies in need, and they can't learn anything during the internship, purely for business purposes. Imagine that you found a job half a year later than your classmates in a famous PY organization, and you have already lost 20,000-30,000 Australian dollars. So I suggest you don't look at short-term interests and stick to the big principles. Services in Australia are basically priced at one point. If you have a choice, you must choose the best. This is also the original intention of the Australian Immigration Bureau to set up the PY program to help international students find jobs as soon as possible. If students see that some organizations collude with the PY organization that makes soy sauce and sell cheap prices all day, then you must understand that this is actually hype and joking about your future. Without quality, customers can only be lured by reducing prices, and finally they will suffer. Good PY institutions generally only cooperate with good intermediaries, and will never blindly reduce service quality and customer experience by lowering prices. In order to curb the PY organizations engaged in soy sauce, the Australian Computer Association ACS has ordered the price to be unified to 12600 Australian dollars in March, effectively protecting good organizations from the impact of price wars, and perhaps accounting organizations will follow suit soon.

9. Take a translation course: +5 points.

Because translation belongs to the community language, if you can pass the second-level interpretation or the third-level translation (Chinese-English translation or English-Chinese translation), you can get my 5 points.

10. Role of spouse: +5

Many male and female students in Australia from acquaintance to love, cohabitation or marriage, cohabitation 12 months or marriage according to law are all equivalent to valid marriage. If one party meets the immigration score, the spouses can naturally hitch a ride together and get the PR green card together.

For the concept of cohabitation, the Immigration Bureau needs to know the concrete evidence of economic, housing, social and mutual commitment between men and women. Living together means sleeping in the same bed, not living in different bedrooms in the same house.

If both sides are SOL immigration majors, as long as they both get vocational evaluation, they can also give the other skilled immigrants 5 points.

1 1. The role of relatives

There is also a visa category in Australia called 489, which is guaranteed by relatives in designated areas. If the applicant has obtained the SOL occupation assessment, and the immediate family members have settled in the designated area and agreed to guarantee, they can get 10, get a three-year temporary residence visa and work for two years 1 year (not related to the nominated occupation), then they can transfer to PR and complete the immigration.

But remember, Sydney and Brisbane are not designated areas, but students who have relatives in Greater Melbourne, South Australia and Tasmania are lucky. Melbourne beat Sydney at this point, haha!

Based on the above factors, if the applicant gets a bonus of not less than 60, he can submit EOI, and if he is invited by EOI, the skilled migration is basically successful. Because each student's situation is different, and some of these bonus factors can't be changed in a short time, such as age and education; Some can be changed the day after tomorrow, such as IELTS (the pass rate of four 7s is said to be less than 10%), translation (the course pass rate is estimated to be 50%) and career year (this 100% success), and some can be planned from scratch, such as majors, schools, remote areas, course advantages, Australian work experience and so on. We have a saying in China that planning ahead is the key to successful immigration.

Of course, if you can't meet the needs of skilled immigrants, you need to look at other visa types such as employer-sponsored immigrants and spouse immigrants. This involves personal luck, so I won't go into details here.

12.TAFE TAFE technicians immigrated to the end?

The answer to this question is yes, but it depends on the score. Many occupations on the SOL list are mechanics, such as mechanics, plasterboard workers, bricklayers, carpenters, auto mechanics, air-conditioning mechanics, dental technicians and so on. , but there are several thresholds to pay attention to:

A career evaluation: TAFE technical school students should complete 360 hours of internship during their study, submit career evaluation and TR after graduation, and then work in JRP for one year under the supervision and guidance of their employers. Only after it is completed can you get a complete evaluation of immigration occupation.

B. Education: TAFE education is only 10, which is 5 points less than the undergraduate course. Therefore, it is more demanding to get 60 points. Applicants need to make a good calculation. If the mechanics are guaranteed by the state, they only need to get 55 points first.

For example, Xiao Wang graduated from undergraduate course in China and went to Australia to study mechanics. He is 25 years old, so he is 30 years old, with education background 15 (domestic undergraduate certification is required), two years of studying in Australia +5, and JRP work 1 year +5, so he already has 55 points, and the other 5 points can be added by means of national guarantee, translation, remote areas and spouse. It can be seen that it is not necessary to have an IELTS score of 7, and technicians can also immigrate. Of course, if Wang Gaozhong goes to TAFE after graduation, his age will be 5 points less and his education will be 5 points less, so he will have to pass IELTS 4 7 or State Insurance 489 to immigrate.

At present, the main reason why China students do not choose skilled immigrants in the market is that they are unwilling to be blue-collar workers, afraid of hardship, or their English level is not good enough to find a job in JRP. In addition, they know enough about the skilled migration department or they are still afraid of straw rope after being bitten by snakes for ten years, and they are worried about drastic changes similar to those in 2009. In fact, in the current market, it is easier for technicians to work and immigrate. Students who like blue-collar technicians may wish to consider it. After all, Australian blue-collar workers are more moist than white-collar workers, and TAFE tuition is half or even one-third of undergraduate tuition. Of course, how to get a 572 TAFE visa also requires specific planning and understanding of the applicant's background, which is not suitable for everyone.

Third: How many points can skilled immigrants get?

According to the latest EOI invitation form, in this round of invitations (twice a month, each time1000-2,000 people), 700 people obtained immigration through 60 points, 250 people passed 65 points, and less than 50 people passed 70 points and 75 points. Therefore, in fact, many majors can immigrate without IELTS 7, as long as the comprehensive bonus points reach 60-65.

Accounting and software programmers are still only 60 points, and business and system analysts have risen to 65 points!

Finally, it should be pointed out that many parents and classmates don't understand the importance of planning and blindly do DIY, which is a risky behavior. Studying abroad costs hundreds of thousands of RMB, and it doesn't cost much to find an expert. All the planning and handling are actually concerned about their own future. We have seen too many cases of going astray because of no planning, and the typical money is not spent on the cutting edge. Studying abroad and emigrating also need the cooperation of parents and children. Planning, applying for a school, studying abroad visa, Australian college entrance examination, further education, renewal, school complaint, TR application and PY application, PR application for various immigrant visas, employment guidance, parents' immigration, etc. are all a long way.
