Is it easy to study in Australia as an immigrant?

For international students, the most common way to apply for a permanent visa is through general skilled migration. In this regard, the Australian government has a clear professional requirement, that is, the applicant's major must be on the list of technical occupations (SOL). Every year, the Australian Immigration Bureau will update SOL and professional quotas according to the labor market situation.

To qualify for permanent residence in Australia, applicants must be graded in terms of age, work experience, education level, English level and time spent in Australia. Only people with a score of 60 can submit EOI.

The Immigration Bureau will select applicants from high to low according to this year's immigration quota and the occupations nominated by the applicants, and then send out invitations every month. Only those who have received the invitation can submit relevant materials and wait for the approval result.

It is not impossible for international students to get extra points for their work experience, but it is very difficult. Local employers usually ask applicants for visa information during interviews, and government jobs tend to favor local or permanent visa holders.

For most freshmen whose major is in the list of technical occupations, the IELTS score is the key to getting a permanent residence visa-IELTS score is 9, and the minimum requirement for general skilled immigrants is 6. If the scores of listening, speaking, reading and writing are all 7, it is 10, and the score of 8 is 20.

To sum up, English is either very good or excellent enough.
