For he who supposedly is not angry, your reply proves otherwise. Anyway...
1. I have done extensive research BEFORE applying for visas. Spoken to agents, did thorough read throughs. Clearly you're offended by the fact that your response indicates as such.
2. I have provided you links. The points system is CLEARLY there. See under 'the points test- invitation pathways'. Or, just in case, here's an attachment:
3. Now, you have indicated I should speak about credentials given that you said you hold a 190 pr and have 5-6 years of working experience. I have more than 5 friends that are holding PR in australia. Some citizenship. My brother holds a PR as well as his girlfriend. His close friend is a lawyer and a migration lawyer helping many foreigners to obtain their PR.------> Use an agent if that is what you want. Don't come here and ask for advice, seeing that you HAVE the so-called resources and such to request such things. After all, your brother/ gf got their PR. Doesnt make a difference as Border updates things every 1 July EVERY YEAR. But then again, you'd know that right.
4. YOu seem frustrated for someone who supposedly knows what he's talking about. From your statement, I still conclude you either have not come across the right info, or your frustrated because there seems to be barely any options for you to seemingly apply for a visa.
As for number 5 hahaha as if. My SOL is nothing most who apply work under. Majority who apply are engineers/ lawyers/ accountants.

How to assess skills if you've no experience? VETASSES, APC & other assessment bodies have not granted favourable replies to applicant. But then again, you know this so yeah.And if you say people you know got their visas without working experience, then good for them. It might be a case of luck or a loophole somewhere, who knows. YOu can either: take the exact same path, or B, don't. Up to you however you want to spend your dosh.

Also, when applying, you'll be asked to provide payslips/ tax forms/ letter of employments/ testimonials etc.

I have more than 5-6 working experience but in a non-related field, plus the Skilled Occupation that I came under has few applicants so chance were high. Also, even then, as on Decemeber 2015, regulation on that SO has changed.

As for your aim to be a kitchen help/ waiter help idea, perhaps it would have been helpful to share what visa you plan to work under. One alternative is to do the working/holiday visa and from there work. But then again, as I've said. YOu probably know this what, from your reply up above.

I have concluded it will be a total waste of my time to continue further.. Thanks for your advice though. If you want reason why i regard it will be a total waste of my time:

1) I already mention no need to further delve into the point test as the point test and being nominated as a skilled person in SOL list is 2 different things. Point test is under requirement number 4. Nomination and skill assessment is under requirement number 1 & 2. They are 2 different things although you need to do them together when submitting for migration (I think, doesn't matter what's the procedure for now, I can clarify that later on as it's not that important as long as I have everything ready as this is just a matter of procedure). (I.E, you can pass your skill assessment but still lack of points under the point test system, however vice versa is not possible, so in away passing the skill assessment is a pre-requisite to point test you could say although you'd definitely need both, but your argument is I will not be able to pass my skill assessment given that I do not have working experience. Then later you posted something from the point test which is a totally different requirement (Can you see your conflict here?). After that you talk about other assessing bodies that doesn't assess accountants which is totally irrelevant.)

2) VETASSES doesn't assess accountants..... those fresh grads getting their pr must be really lucky then.

3) No need to sound sarcastic. I believe I have clearly stated my reasons for posting. And yes everything that you have stated, honestly, I knew it already... That is why again, I am not posting to ask for help as to how to acquire PR or Visa.. I am asking about job prospect and etc to consider compared to working in Australia and Malaysia.

And nope, I am not angry, like I said, I stand to be corrected, but you appear to me as someone that is very authoritative and has quite a bit of ego choosing to focus on something that someone could possibly not achieve measured by your standards and knowledge which shows that you are a person that claims to think he knows everything as nowhere in your message points any modesty at all. If I am like you, I don't think I will be posting in this forum to gather more insights as to what people think.

Now (with a BIG SIGH), are we done? so we can get back on track.

Are you a professional or do you have tertiary education in any way? If you have you would be a disgrace to your alma mater. If you don't have, now I can understand why... Because you fail to see the implied assumption I have on my post and failed to see the question in my post. In case I did not make myself clear.

The assumption in my post is:
1) I will have no issues working in SG,MY or Australia

The question in my post is:
1) What advice would you guys have given the situation described.

Thanks

As per post above, what visa do you currently possess that would enable you work in Aus right after graduation. Assuming you don't have a 189/190 yet.

Don't be cute. It's highly unbecoming for someone who supposedly is from Monash Malaysia. I regard grads from Monash pretty highly but not in this case.

1) Then how would you apply for an 189/190 is you are saying a 'skilled person in an SOL' is a different thing.
2) I know. See the word APC and etc.?
3) You have either a working holiday visa or an employer sponsored visa that may be what you can do to get over. Employment visa at least guarantees you a job for a while, but hopefully they don't just decide to send you back before the 2 years are up. As for job prospects, scroll back to maybe page 20 something or so. There was some mention on finance/ accounting sectors.

As for the rest of the comment, I am ignoring it as I know exactly who you are now, so I'm not surprised by your response. I'll leave it at that.

1. You should learn how to respect people. It's very unsightly to see someone belittle another person and then tramp on the possibly and unproven difficulties of a person by your standards which is not even the focus of my post.

2. To answer your question. I have nothing. I said after graduation I am looking to apply 189 or 489. (I definitely can't apply for 190 so that is out of the question as that requires state nomination). But I am a little short handed to apply for 189 as I need all band 8 in Ielts General to have enough points. However, for 489 would be possible and I have all the documents ready. So I am contemplating whether to sit for ielts again for 189 or not as there is a clear regional limitation to 489. Btw the 489 visa allows you to apply for 887 (PR) if you meet the requirement.

3. Personally, I too don't think Monash Graduates deserve high regards, so we can agree on that.

Cheers.

Nobody belittled you. I'm sorry if you feel or cit came across that way. Perhaps the written word does not translate well, so that's why, but in all honesty, if your brother gets citizenship, he could sponsor you. From your writing, Band 8 should not be hard for you to get, if you take the test again (assuming yours is still valid from your degree entry reqs).

Like I said, I know who you are and I'm not surprised. However Monash graduates are better than most from other colleges. Worked with a few- nice people, hardworking so I wouldn't write them off at all.

As for the 190 state nom- yes likely not as feasible since the state will require documents and such. But it just might be another option that you could be open to. Probably would be helpful if you talk to an agent. Get a free consultation to see what they can offer.

1. Im saying they are a different requirement to be met....... The requirements is not to read in between the lines of the PR as the requirements are clearly stated. 1. Nominate an occupation you want that have to be in SOL. 2. Get proper assessment. 3. Cannot be over 50. 4. Point test 5. At least competent English...

So skill assessment is under 1 and 2..... then only point test under requirement 4..... Is there further elaboration needed?

2. Ok great. Lets keep it at there.

3. I heard employer sponsored visa may not be that easy... I have read the working holiday visa some time ago, I guess I'll check it out again. Thanks on the heads up on page 20. Now we're talking.

Uhhhh.... Okay... Whoever you think I am then. Cheers.

From the initial agent consultation a couple of years back, they made it seem like it was easier for a 190. I can't remember why exactly. But in all seriousness, a 89/190 would be better since a 489 previously had a requirement for you to live in a regional area for at least 2 years. Not sure if employment would be easier there as the geographical population may be of an issue. Less job opportunities.

I'm sorry too if I have offended you in any way. Good that we can move on now.

Just to clarify, I think without citizenship my brother can sponsor me too. Under 189 pr it states that you can nominate people (he's holding the 189 pr). And under 489 visa it states that who can nominate you.

I hope I can get too.. Just a little demotivated since i was short of 0.5 band score but I have heard of many cases where people taking 9-10 times.. I guess I shall try again when I have the time.

Yup previously 489 had that requirement (I think it was known as 485? unsure). But I know I can apply for 489. And yes, afraid on the set back i might have if i apply for 489 as well in terms of job opportunities (would be great if anyone can further enlighten me on this).

Haha, I don't know who you are. but anyways I'm glad we can move past whatever that was earlier, and thanks for your kind advises now. Really appreciate it. Would look into working holiday visa as well (previously didn't bother about it because my brother's friend who is a lawyer and is very familiar with migration stuffs since he is an agent I think, he just told me to get ielts band 8 for general for point test and ielts academic 7 for skill assessment and just apply 189 straight) I later found out about 489 and asked him about it, he told me to go for 189 straight too without much reason.

Cheers.

0.5 should be easy for you to top. I think those who are retaking multiple amount of times probably are facing difficulties in the speaking part. Since you've taken it before, there should be no problem. A secret- I did my reading component really quickly and half heartedly as I was so sleepy (all crammed into a day). Still managed an 8.5 overall, so it's definitely possible.

As for the 189 sponsorship, if a PR can indeed sponsor someone then it should be okay. Plus direct relative so it would much easier thans ay, an aunt/ uncle. I suspect your brother's friend advised you to try the 189 because you mentioned the 489, and yea, that one is not really ideal (usually last resort). If you can ask him if a 190 is feasible.

Wow.. amazing.. The last time i took was 2 months ago. I attended classes with a private tutor (2 classes) to know better what to expect. So i did some preparation. I've got 9 for both listening and reading. But only 7.5 for writing and speaking. Right after that I googled a little and realized a lot of people complain that it feels dodgy as there could be some manipulation.. But then again... even if there is, to get my arse over there I have to retake again loh..

Okay, I shall ask him on that.

Thanks for the encouragement!.

Just to add in three more points to the above discussion,

I) 60 points although is sufficient to get an invite but it is recommended to get 65 points instead for faster visa approval. Check immi for the expected waiting period.

II) I have to disagree on the part where Singapore's work experience is on par with Malaysia. It is not based on my experience. Better to get SG experience as employers value it more (experienced based on larger companies, not too sure with smaller ones)

III) Atittude and dumping Malaysian's mentality is number one key in integrating into Australia's culture.

All the best in the application and it is always warming to see Malaysian leaving their comfort zone.

Did you sit for the general one or the academic version? I heard from some that the general one is tougher. To me, it was just tiring as they tend to cram all 4 components in 1 day.

Also for the writing, I was told beforehand - try to be consistent and elaborate whatever points you make; more examples, sentences in punctuated and to watch your grammar. If you have an extensive vocabulary, use it.
Speaking- also was told to not answer in a single sentence, speak more, explain more. My examiner asked me about my best friend, so I had plenty of stuff to talk about smile.gif


I honestly don't think you need to hire a tutor. British Council provided me with links to their system so I could gauge what to expect.

xoxlifestyle100 once you got your PR and landed in oz land it also depends on your luck how fast you can secure a job but one thing for sure connections are important meaning if you know someone such as manager in that company you can even get a job whether it's related or not related to your profession without an interview, this way is much easier and quicker compared to using recruiters which have many layers for you to get through. if you gone through recruiters make sure you don't give a chance to the recruiters to throw your cv into the bin, meaning don't stuff up your cv and cover letter

189 requires you to HAVE some job experience, CPA etc or not.

You can look this up on Border.gov.au or talk to an agent.

http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-
http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-

I think you need to do your research. As what some of the others have said pages before, you need to do your homework before asking the obvious. No offence meant, but honestly I think you're lacking the knowledge as to how one qualifies for a Skilled Independent Visa 189/190/  Skilled Regional 489. The keyword being 'skilled', i.e  having experience.

I have a 190 and I qualified after 5-6 years experience in a nominated occupation.

I think daylight dancer is not wrong. I started everything by reading border.gov.au.

Just read, simple as that.

since daylight_dancer and xoxlifestyle100 have an ongoing discussion on that, from what i've read... 189/190 doesn't need employment points if one is able to meet 60 points...

and in other migration forums, there are people who managed to get grants for the 2 subclass without claiming work experience since they have IELTS band 8 for all modules (with the assumption that their age and degrees are also able to prove sufficient points)

is my understanding correct on this?
