QUOTE(fghvbn @ May 6 2013, 11:14 AM) I have a degree in Marketing, never took IELTS before, any chance I can get into Australia ? Your question is too general. Do you have work experience? Have you studied in Australia for at least 2 years? Do you have close relatives in Australia? Every individual case is different so being vague is not going to provide you with an accurate answer. If you are not keen to do all the research, you can always try the assessment quiz available at the migration agent website to see if you qualified. Then, you will know if you have the qualified to apply for PR.

QUOTE(rg470 @ May 7 2013, 01:57 PM) I beg to differ, as the process is long and complicated if you are not familar with the process. An agent will help you through short cuts (though not always, case-by-case basis) and cut down time reading and figuring out how to provide and fulfill the process requirement. It is more so if the applicant is applying in a family which requires to submit countless of documents or an off shore applicant. The DIAC will also demand you to resubmit documents if deem unsatifactory. The conclusion is you'll need an agent if: 1. English is not your first language, you'll need to fully understand the terms in the forms so that you furnish them the correct/required information. Else you risk delays, given a run around or even rejection. 2. No contact, relatives, or friends residing in Australia as your reference (depending on the type of application) 3. Off shore applicant (meaning applying from outside Australia) I agreed. I think it is easier to apply for PR after graduating from Australian Uni should you meet the requirement. As when you have work experience, your experience and skills have to be assessed by a recognized body before you are able to apply for PR. Hence, it actually depends on your situation. You can apply on your own if you have friends/relatives that have applied before you which you can seek advice (if it is the same requirements as the migrations requirements and regulation changes almost every July each year)

QUOTE(rg470 @ May 7 2013, 03:10 PM) Graduating from an Australian university no longer enables/qualify youself as an PR applicant, gone were the days when DIAC officers go to universities to give out application forms to final semester/year students. They now demand you to return to your country of origin as soon as you complete your studies and then apply whatever visa application you intend to from there onwards with the exception if you can secure an employer/state sponsored visa before your student visa runs out. I think it has been quite some time since DIAC officers go to universities to give you application forms. All of my friends that applied PR in the past 3 years, apply once they graduate if they meet the requirement. I think now international students are given a visa to allowed them to stay in Australia for 18 months if you study for 3 years and graduate with a bachelor. During this period, i think they have to apply for EOI should there skill set is required. I am not too familiar with the new change in regulation as most of my friends applied their PR with the previous regulation

QUOTE(rg470 @ May 7 2013, 04:22 PM) I agree, my sister did the same through online just before she graduated, that was about 4 years ago. It then took about a year to get it approved. If you are applying through skill migration, you'll need to have relevant work experience of at least 3 to 5 years (depending on type of industry/skill), or Australian working experience (sounds stupid to me coz' you don't get hired here without the visa in the first place). When I myself went looking for jobs online here, they will fail you as soon as they know you are not a PR or relevant working visa holder. My sister applied for KPMG here and the 1st question they asked on their job application website was, "Are you a XXX visa holder?" Answer "No" and it will bring you straight to "Unfortunately you do not meet our recruitment requirements, thank you". LOL It is the whole chicken and egg situation, no job cant get sponsor for work visa, no right visa, cant look for a job. This actually all depends on luck when come to securing a job there. Not necessary that you are a PR holder, you will get a job more easily. It definitely help but not a guarantee.
