Try to score band7 in 4 module.
I think Oz gov. wanna squeeze some money from u all coz they're deficit now.

Band 9 is the perfect score.Pretty sure you heard it incorrectly.

Band 8 will get a maximum points for migration(20 points). But if the occupation board like you said doctor will require band 9 for everything then you have to get all 9 to pass the skill assessment

But band 8 is already sufficient for most of the stuff. Band 9 is mostly impossible even for the English people

Well, do u wanna listen to a real story happening here?

I heard from a Chinese guy mentioned, some tried to get into Oz but failed due to so many restriction. So, they go thru the working visa 457. They actually look for a company sponsorship to work here. They paid the company on application of visa and even the salary! means they pay salary to themselves in order to get into Oz. After 2 years, they can go thru application for PR. Of course, those days IELTS requirement not that high.

I even heard some rich Chinese businessmen buy watever shit business here as TR. They throw in money to meet the income target for 2 years then sell off to some other guy who will doing the same thing. Once the meet 2 years TR, they can apply for PR. That's y i saw a restaurant owner change so many round here....some even malaysian!

Oz gov now wanted to restrict immigrants from coming in giving you some bullshit requirement. If you have degree, you're already far more qualified than the local Ozzie here coz i know majority construction or project manager dun even have diploma! But they earn $150k/annum richer than u 3 times. It's not about racist, it's more on discrimination on other nation capabilities. But of course, i do saw some Ozzie lazy bump really don't like to work. They'll accept watever salary or shitty jobs u offer. Once they get in, they'll make u fire them so that they can continue claiming centrelink money.

Just made my visit to local public housing (low cost housing) rented to Aboriginal. Damn, nice house turn into shit house. Even got condom in the kitchen basin! All walls got holes, shit inside the toilet. All doors got holes. I even saw an underground hideout. Heard from gov agent said they tend to hide themselves under so that police won't detect them there. Tot there's some corpses being buried there.....and smells stinks!

Got some photo, dunno how to upload it here

I have already foreseen the bolded in Australia like 5-6 years ago when there was a mining boom. I've already told some friends to avoid going to australia if you think the mining sensation will go on. And 5-6 year later, it was spot on.

The rationale is simple. Raw materials are raw materials and they are roughly sold at the same (assuming same grade) whether mined in Indonesia or Australia. For eg. coal mined in Australia would have the same application and same price as coal mined in Indonesia. But the cost of mining in Australia is about 10x higher of that in Indonesia. Its simple mathematics at the end of the day.

For e.g. A mining truck driver earns AUD5000 p.a. in Indonesia (and its a VERY GOOD pay in Indonesia) and the same mining truck driver would cost AUD150k p.a. in Australia. However the value produced by truck driver in Indonesia and Australia are the same. No difference except for less cost in Indonesia (and hence more profit for the company) and additional cost of mining in Australia (and hence less profit to the company).

Oh correction to my previous comment...i was mentioning AUs, not USA, commented wrongly. Is mining really that terrible now in Aus...then what industry is thriving in Aus if every industry seems to be in recession?

Discover does not mean feasible for economic development..

same goes the FLNG saga over onshore or offshore.

The answer lies well with offshore, just politician politicized it over and over hope to get it a deal for themself when the W.S CEO said, well we already had the answer. Like it our not, suck it up.

That, to develop. Linc Energy need to well, get approval and the other end is that, the overall "process" is it worth it?

The next phase will be GAS economy, still going strong. 

could try to apply bhpbillioin?

or banking industries. i know they need IT guy

Question:

If my PR going to expire, can i ask for extension?

If my PR expire, I want to reapply...would i be permanently suspended?

Is it really cumulative? I highly doubt that. I have an uncle who is a pr and flys back to malaysia every year very often for business. He is still a pr btw. So whats your source?

I assume that when you say "my brother helps to sponsor for my PR", you are using the Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) pathway, as the usual pathways (189 et al) no longer take family into consideration.

Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115) visa holders CANNOT sponsor anyone to migrate to Australia.

Have a look at the "What this visa lets you do" section (under the "Visa Holders" tab) of the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) page and compare it with the Remaining Relative visa (subclass 115).

crap, mine is expiring next year. i haven't done the 2 years.

reason for me staying put is because my dad had a sudden near death experience, luckily i was around to take care of him.

if i reapply also hard, right?

job market in Oz sucks. i got CPA friends that migrated there, can;t even get stable jobs. My cousin who is engineering grad in Melb, could not get an engineer job, end up doing waitering.

Thats why i delay going.

But now i see our economy like sinking ship. Cost going up, GST coming in and subsidy cut - migration looking more feasible.

Some more BN encouraging us to migrate - tak suka, hijrah la.

when economy booming hard to find job, when economy down even worst. I remember when 1996 recession in Oz so bad, that my uncle who lived there for 10 years had to return back to msia with his family because couldn't find a job. Back then unemployment rate was 20%.

what is affecting Oz? Is it because USA Fed is drawing down their bond buying? I know China is slowing down a lot and concentrating more on local demand.

I've been saying that about australia for some time now.
Next to go down are the banks coz of their abnormally large exposures to mining sector. Then it will be a domino effect unless the RBA steps in and do zmtg drastic. Expect further retrenchments

Yeap, with no local experience will push you to the casual work. Not all jobs are that way.
Accountant is surplus in Ozzie market. Same goes to IT or engineers.
If you really wanna come here, die also wanna die here then take a bricklaying, electrical or plumber course. Get TAFE or cert 3 or 4 will give u a bigger chance to earn huge here.
There's some wrong perception given back home saying anyone come in Oz will live happily ever after.
Bear in mind, things is cheaper if earning here and got more opportunity provided u need to work hard to get it.
Not saying u migrate here and goyang kaki, money fall off from sky.
For me, i put in the same hardwork from malaysia to here making me stay put and competitive that i can do more and knowledgable than locals.
If you're looking to make big cash money, sorry, this is not the place.
If you're looking for family raising place, orientated and spend more time with family, this is the place you're looking for.
What's wrong for engineers working as waiter? CPA graduate working as working casual?
As long u have household income exceed 80k with stable job, u be able to buy bungalow here.
Who cares u're working waiter or garbage collector. It's still a job.
Dun laugh at garbage collector, their wages is far higher than phamacist @ $40/hr

Yeah, i can't imagine going there and working with 21 year olds, just graduated, earning same pay as me and same level.

I have a friend who worked for PWC as manager for 5 years, when he migrated, he took up a job as a one man account manager, do bookeeping use MYOB system. Not bad, earn AUD100k a year. But it is kind of a low level job. If let say any big recession were to happen in Oz, he is forced to find job in msia, his experience won't count for much.

I am very sure though those with more experience are better adept to critical thinking tthan fresh grads. The only advantage the fresh grads got over the experienced ones, is maybe they are more tech savvy.
