5 points for studying in Australia in remote areas

Let's take a closer look at the key bonus requirements:

1. Can Australia's professional year and 1 year experience be counted repeatedly?

Yes, you can. It can be seen that this directly verifies my judgment, and the career year will definitely be popular, which is in line with the government's employment expectations for international students and new immigrants!

2. How to add community language points?

Add 5 points, but you must pass NAATI's translation exam, and you can't add points for a pure China degree. It seems that the Australian Translation Institute will be popular next.

3. What are the requirements for your spouse when you get extra points?

The spouse is required to be no more than 50 years old, with IELTS score of 6 or above, and have 1 year working experience in 2 years (I think the spouse's 2-year education in Australia can be exempted from working experience, which needs to be confirmed! )

4. Can my immediate family in Australia guarantee me to apply for immigration directly?

No, you can't. The relative sponsor will no longer be able to directly apply for the 886, 176 immigrant visa, but can apply for the 475,487 temporary sponsorship visa, and then work in Australia within 2 years after obtaining the visa 1 year and then become a permanent residence visa;

5. When will the new scoring system take effect?

The new marking system will come into effect on July 6, 20 1 1, excluding applicants who applied for 485TR or obtained TR on February 8, 20 10, and applicants who held student visas before February 8, 20 10, they can still apply before the end of 20 12. Under the arrangement of the grading system that came into effect on February 8, 20 10, the original text: http://www.immi.gov.au/students/_ pdf/recent-changes-gsm.pdf.

6. What is the immigration score?

The immigration bureau should adjust the immigration clearance score at any time according to the situation. At present, it is tentatively set at 65 points. Please note that 65 points is only the expectation of the Immigration Department. At that time, if the quota of more than 65,438+10,000 is not used up, or if more immigrants are needed for economic employment, the Immigration Bureau will reduce the score at any time according to the situation.

7. How to add points to Australian work experience?

The new scoring system recognizes that Australian work experience can help new immigrants find jobs in Australia and facilitate employment and settlement, so if they have worked for 65,438+0 years, they will get 5 points, and if they have worked for 3 years, they will get 65,438+00 points. In fact, many overseas students in Australia can do 20 hours of professional-related work every week while studying for a second degree on the premise of having a first degree (at home and abroad), which is of great help to get extra points in the future.

8. Are there any restrictions on which Australian degrees can be added?

Yes, in order to get an Australian degree, an applicant must have completed at least two academic years of study in Australia. That is, CRICOS must be registered as an Australian academic course for more than 92 weeks. This is the same as the old policy.

Let's take a look at this case:

1. Suppose Alice is 25 years old by 20 12, has a bachelor's degree in business in China, and has finished two years of master's degree in accounting in Australia, with IELTS score of 7, then:

Rating: 30 years old+5+ Master of Australian Education 15+ IELTS 10 = 60. To get 65 points, you need 5 points. Of course, Alice has many choices, such as 1 year professional training, or 1 year working in Australia, or taking the NAATI translation exam to get a translation certificate. Either Alice's spouse (husband or boyfriend who has lived together 1 year or above) also meets the requirements of IELTS and career assessment, or Alice has obtained the state insurance qualification, or Alice is studying in a university in a remote area of Australia. Just choose one, there are still many ways!

2. Suppose Daniel was 23 years old when he graduated from 20 12, and completed three years of undergraduate studies in computer science in Australia, with an IELTS score of 6, then:

Scoring: 25 years old+5+ degree of Australian education 15+ IELTS 0 = 45. It is difficult for direct immigrants to get 65 points after graduation. The solution needs to continue studying (such as master's degree) until the age of 25, and get an age score of 30 points (extra 5 points). Take vocational training after graduation (extra 5 points) and look for a job for one year (extra 5 points), so I already have 60 points, and I can find another 5 points. The master chooses to study in remote areas or seek state guarantee; It's easier if you think 7 points with elegance.

3. Suppose Mike worked as an engineer in Australia for 6 years after graduating from undergraduate engineering Mike 2004, with an IELTS score of 6, and now he is 3 1 year old, then:

Rating: 30 years old (25-32 years old)+Australian education 5+ bachelor degree 15+ IELTS 0+ work experience (five years in the past seven years) 15 = 65, just a good immigrant. It can be seen that the new policy pays more attention to work experience, so it may become common for old international students with work experience to return to China.

4. Suppose Amy completed the three-level translation course in Geelong Campus of Australian Translation Institute for two years, then went to Melbourne for two years to study for a master's degree in e-commerce and graduated at the age of 26, then:

Scoring situation: 30 years old (25-32 years old)+Australian education 5+ master 15+ IELTS 0+ three-level translation 5+ remote areas 5 = 60, then Amy only needs to get 5 points through IELTS or 1 year work experience or professional year courses to graduate and immigrate smoothly!

Teacher Huang Wenyong, the chief consultant of the Australian Study Abroad Network, has the following suggestions for international students:

First, for international students who graduate from Australian high school and go to university tomorrow, the choice of major has been greatly relaxed, so if your previous career is limited to 60 points, then you should modify your wishes by contacting the Australian study abroad network now;

Second, Australia's elite immigration policy has given all the benefits to international students who have reached IELTS 7, but it is undoubtedly a nightmare for international students whose language has not improved. So I hope everyone will study English hard during their study abroad. I have handled many immigration applications with IELTS score above 7, which shows that 7 is not out of reach; At the same time, we should unite to protest against the unfair requirements of English grading. In any case, students with IELTS 6-7 should give 5 points, which is obviously the case for applicants from non-native English-speaking countries, so everyone should actually write to Immigration Minister minister@immi.gov.au;

Thirdly, you can get 5 extra points by choosing remote campuses, such as Keelung Campus of Deakin University, Bendigo Campus of La Trobe University, Gippsland Campus of Monash University, university of tasmania, Rocompton Campus of Central Queensland University, etc. Australian undergraduate transfer can bring credits to the new university without too much loss, and it will be very popular for undergraduate graduates to study for master's degrees in remote campuses in the future.

Fourth, students with a good foundation in Chinese and English can sign up for the NAATi translation exam. Of course, it would be better if there were some training. For example, a 23-year-old international student who only gets 50 points after graduation can study in the Geelong Campus of the Australian Translation Institute, with 5 points in Chinese, remote areas and age.

Fifth, for overseas immigrants, the Immigration Bureau says that they are recognized, but how to recognize them is a mystery. I have read an internal report of the Immigration Bureau before, saying that only graduates from the world's top 500 universities may be recognized. If so, it is estimated that there are only 20-30 universities in China, and overseas direct immigration will not be so simple. On the one hand, friends who are going to emigrate from overseas need to do a good job evaluation as soon as possible to prevent falling asleep. On the other hand, once confirmed, the value of Australian education will be reflected.

Sixth, we should pay attention to employment when choosing a major. If you are very popular after graduation, then work visa, employer guarantee, state guarantee and regional guarantee are also acceptable.

Seventh: The Australian government gave the new policy a transitional period, but did not say that it would be implemented immediately, so it is not a big problem for students who graduate at the end of the year. In addition, for those who applied for or held a temporary postgraduate visa on February 8, 2065438+00 (category 485). Before the end of 20 12, this group of applicants can also apply for the immigration scoring system that came into effect on February 8, 20/kloc-0.

In a word, the new immigration classification system, although it eliminates professional discrimination, makes no difference whether you study landscape design, actuary, accountant or engineer, which will give foreign students more professional choices and help universities to disperse teaching resources on average. However, the new policy is not particularly beneficial to international students, and the most obvious problem is IELTS. If excellent international students can get an IELTS score of 7, everything will be fine, but the road below 7 is quite tortuous.
