How to become an Australian citizen by naturalization? -Australian immigrants

If you want to immigrate to Australia and become an Australian citizen, you first need to get a permanent residence visa, which is what we often call PR status. There are many ways to immigrate to Australia, mainly the following: Australian skilled immigrants, overseas students, employer-sponsored immigrants, business immigrants and spouse immigrants.

Before introducing the immigration channels in detail, it is necessary to introduce the Australian immigration scoring system. Applicants can apply for a PR visa after getting enough points. According to different occupations, the minimum score for getting an invitation letter is different (which will be introduced in detail later). Generally speaking, if the score reaches 60 or above (there is no upper limit), you can get an invitation letter for visa application. The higher the score, the easier it is for applicants to be invited. It can automatically calculate the immigration score according to the applicant's background, which is very practical. The following are specific scoring items:

1. Age score: 1.08 years old or younger.

18 ~ 24 years and 25 minutes

25 ~ 32 years and 30 minutes

In addition, you need to pass the physical examination test, and the materials you provide must be verified by the immigration bureau. If you are satisfied with all this, congratulations, you can immigrate to Australia.

After introducing the scoring system, let's take a look at the specific immigration channels:

1. Skilled immigrants and immigrants studying abroad

Skilled immigrants are characterized by applying according to their own conditions and being relatively independent.

The main steps are: pass the IELTS test, complete the career assessment and submit the visa application. Skilled immigrant visas mainly include 189 and190,489.

Immigration to study abroad can be said to be an extension of skilled immigration. To put it bluntly, after studying in Australia or even in remote areas, the ultimate goal of immigration is achieved through skilled immigration. With the tightening of the policies of traditional immigration countries such as Canada, Australian students have become the most popular areas.

The prerequisite for studying abroad is to choose an immigration major when studying in Australia, and your IELTS score must be at least 4 6. At the same time, your study time and curriculum must comply with the corresponding regulations of the Immigration Bureau. But what is the immigration major? Immigration major means that you can pass the relevant professional certification after graduation. These occupations must be in the list of skilled occupations (SOL), among which the business-related occupations are: accountant (general), management accountant, tax accountant, external auditor, internal auditor, actuary, land economist, appraiser, etc. Most students majoring in accounting choose general accounting, but it is worth noting that the number of accounting places is getting scarcer every year. Now if you want to get the PR invitation, you need 65 points or even 70 points for immigration. Compared with the precarious accounting, the application of engineering and IT is relatively easy, but the general trend is that it is more difficult every year.

2. Employers sponsor immigrants

Employers sponsor immigrants faster and need Australian employers to sponsor them. First of all, the employer nominates a job to the Immigration Bureau, and only after the Immigration Bureau approves it can the guarantor apply for an immigrant visa.

When it comes to employer-sponsored immigrant visas, we should first mention a temporary visa: Temporary Business Long Stay, which allows the insured to apply for permanent residence in Australia after working for two years according to the employer's requirements. There are more than 400 types of jobs that can apply for 457 visas, including managers, professionals and technicians. 475 visa holders can apply for a 186 visa (that is, employer-sponsored immigration) with the help of their employers after working for their employers for two years, thus obtaining PR status. For remote areas, applicants can directly apply for 187 visa (i.e. employer-sponsored immigrants in remote areas) to obtain PR status without 475 visa.

3. Spouse migration

Spouse migration is actually a simple and direct way of migration, which generally needs to be completed in two stages. First, you need to get a temporary visa. After two years, if the relationship between the guarantor and the insured is still continuous and true, it can be changed to a permanent resident visa. In some special cases, spouse immigrants can directly apply for a permanent residence visa. The Immigration Bureau may invite an interview to confirm the identity of the spouse and verify the authenticity of the relationship between the two parties. After all, there are too many cases of "fake marriage" of immigrants. Recently, the Australian Immigration Bureau has suddenly stepped up its efforts to crack down on fake marriages, and there are not a few PR holders whose visas have been cancelled.

Of course, if the two sides have long-term contacts and the material information is true, you don't have to worry. Immigration can even speed up the visa process. In addition to spouse immigrants, family reunion immigrants also include children immigrants, parents immigrants and other family immigrants.

4. Business migration

In Bian Xiao's view, this kind of immigration is also called "local tyrant immigration" because it is more suitable for entrepreneurs and investors, and investment immigration is the most important one. Business immigrants are divided into 188a, 188b, 188c and 132 visas. 188 visa is a temporary business immigrant visa. After arriving in Australia, you can start a business or invest as required, and you can change to a permanent resident visa after 2 years. For the 132 visa, the Immigration Bureau will evaluate and review the applicant's financial resources, tax records and business activities. Maybe even invite an interview. The difficulty of this visa is to provide your own business information as comprehensively as possible and provide favorable evidence for the visa.

After many obstacles, we finally succeeded in emigrating. What have we got? It's time to talk about Australian immigrant welfare. The difference between Australian permanent residents (PR status) and civil rights is mainly manifested in the right to vote, to be elected, to join the army, to be elected as a jury member, to engage in some special government work (such as intelligence personnel) and so on. These rights can only be enjoyed by permanent residents after naturalization. Holders of new permanent residence visas (PR) are not allowed to apply for unemployment benefits, emergency comprehensive relief and student allowance within the first two years, and other benefits are the same, such as free primary and secondary education, student loans and free medical care. After holding PR for two years, you can enjoy all the benefits in Australia. The main benefits of Australia are as follows:

1. Pension policy, all women over 60 and men over 65 can enjoy pension.

2. Popularization of free medical insurance

Government departments provide unemployment benefits.

4. Low-income allowance

5. 12 Free compulsory education in primary and secondary schools.

6. Before the child reaches the age of 18, he/she has the right to receive maintenance and allowance.

7. Interest-free government loans are available for university tuition.

8. After a child reaches the age of 18, he/she is entitled to student allowance.

9. Other benefits: maternity allowance, multi-child allowance, unmarried parents allowance, single parents allowance, etc.

As the saying goes, you get something for nothing. For a happy life tomorrow, why not take action and struggle?
