getting a PR with accountancy qualifications is not difficult.

Getting a job is another matter altogether, market is down expected to be like this for awhile.

its amazing you secured a role in 12 days , good luck in the future.

Its going to be difficult to gauge the requirements for aussie migration 5 years from now. Yes see a migration agent and ask for options available to you/son
In terms of education, need to make sure its from a recognized twinning program, preferably UK or Aussie. That way if he graduates with a degree its counted as a degree based on Australian standards .

If you opt for a local U, during assessment with respective Aussie authorities a degree could easily be downgraded to a diploma hence you lose points.

Anyways best to consult a competent migration agent.

Immigration requirements change every July 1st for Australia.

agreed MY work experiences is useless. best to do a trade qualification in australia and try to gain PR thru that

lol dont be surprised if PR migration scheme is suspended till further notice. it can change anytime

Ironic a buddy just landed in melb less than two weeks and already found a job in his field . Network Security specialist. Albeit at a junior level considering he has 10 years solid experience but the fact he still found a job so quick.

i think most need to get out of the illusion that you are going to retain your current position and status post migration.

Instead take it as an opportunity for new beginings a chance to retool, relearn, enjoy life...not everyone is migrating with a vision of being the next bill gates or zukerberg,

for me a good life for my kids is the most important, education that is based on current standards is ranked 14 in the world vs our 52 or is it 62 who knows nowadays.

i spend circa 40k a year to keep my kid in international school, not that I'm rich but wtf! i shouldn't be doing this cause i pay taxes and my kids deserve a better environment and school system. why the f should i pay for international school ? cause reality is the current school system is just crap.

anyways if you're single i guess its a lot to think about if the decision to migrate is right.

but for me if i calculate the cost of education till uni for my kid, quality of their life its cheaper to migrate ... the risk for me is worth it...

to each its own, no one can say migrating is right, neither can we advice others to make the decision. its something personal , carpe diem folks

hence the determination to make it work,

If the canal plans take root and complete without a hitch, we will see a major economic transformation in the SEA landscape.

Our ports as well in SG will be badly affected. This in turn will have a major impact on the local economies.

I tend to agree on the skilled labor, but for sure skilled labor will move over to thailand, with the backing of china on this project i doubt they would have any issues attracting skilled labor .

Skilled or not skilled go where they are needed not the other way around

call the embassy in melbourne, you need to fill up borang W

but first you need to prep

IC both wife and you
Passport both
marrige cert (important)
hospital birth proof

whatever you do, dont return to malaysia without filling up borang W and doing the necessary at the embassy

Yes
Go to Jalan duta kdn building.
You can get a reprint of your bc comes with translation . Use that.
The more documents the higher the chance of a direct grant

If and drivers license not required

Bc
Passport
Marriage cert

Please dont go with the illusion of retaining your current position in the job world. go with a fresh mind , new start and retool to assimilate there. If you have a family your kids will be better off i feel there.

end of day its up to the individual to make his way. getting the PR is one thing...the real challenge starts when you are there. But once you make it and are comfortable i believe you will be happy. nothing in life is easy in the beginning.

Im leaving in September for melbourne, I have no illusions of a rosy life but for my kid i am willing to do whatever it takes.

You made it to final 4 from chopping block...damn man you must have unique skills

For migration, ielts general assesment

IELTS Academic is tough but if you are applying under certain job scope you have to do this

im a DIY kinda guy, i love the fact i can go to bunnings and rent any damn tools i need to complete a DIY job

but im most happy my daughter can walk to school and she enjoys it everyday where as here she never went out the gate without an adult

she just went for a movie with friends to the mall via train and loved every moment of it.

she finally stopped spending countless hours on the pc and is more interested to go outside and play

the joy in seeing this is priceless even if i have to be a bangla in aussie

kinni what you mean what kind of job

simple what is your qualification ?
what is you current job ?

this is the only two you need to know , if your gonna be eligible

In that respects malaysia is no better for employment now, retrenchment is industry wide, you don't hear about it cause many firms reluctant to make information public because of share price.

Personal security for the average malaysian is at an all time low, (im not speaking of those in gated RM1.5 mill homes).

Many jobs currently are going to foreigners and im not talking about labor intensive jobs. Like happening in singapore with the Indians/Filipinos flooding the market and taking local jobs cause their wages are much much lower.

Just because you don't read about it in the papers does not mean its not happening.

Yes Australia is having a tough time now , the economy is bad and expected to get worst, with all that my wife still got a job 3 weeks into job hunting and its a full time permanent position. * she was not picky , the salary more then pays for rent , food and misc. My kid loves school compared to here , so go figure .

If you're gonna go with expectations , you're gonna be extremely dissapointed, If you are gonna go thinking you can maintain you're current position , title etc better don't go.

If you cant live without a maid and 24 hrs mamak please dont go

By the way im still in MY and gonna be bangla in aussie come september , joining the wife and kids
