Hi Jianh,
I'm still in the middle of my 190.
Still waiting for the stupid certificate of good conduct from Msia which they advise me will take around of 2 months?!?!?!
My Aust PCC already out despite applying on the same day!!!

My agent said it might take 3 months to know whether PR granted.
So might be expected to leave around Feb/March i would say if everything come out positive.

Which part in WA you staying?

You can get it in two weeks from kln website, then get Aussie embassy here to issue a printout. Two months ? Unheard off.

Start from bottom , you should get a job pretty quick in your field. If you plan to be manager on the first go, not saying impossible but highly unlikely.

Best time for job market is jan15-may 15 then again july15 till September 15

You need to be here, pay a local to write you're resume , let me know I can point you in the right direction.

Good luck

Your lowest score is the final for points.

But for wife overall score is enough to prove English competency(secondary applicant)

Apart from ielts now there's PTE which is easier I heard and results is sooner.

Eh? means in a component if the lowest is 7, then thats what it is?

I got lazy during the reading and knew I was gonna muck it up, so I got a 7. Every other component ranged from 8-8.5 (earlier tests, so more alert)  tongue.gif

That means you can claim only 10points not 20

Get over to Sydney and start applying for work. Also, you will need to change the mentality of being an Asian to a Caucasian via being more outspoken and outgoing. It is still common in Perth that Asians can't speak proper English yet complain that they could not find a job, that is the biggest issue.

Once you passed that stage, getting a job shouldn't be too hard in your age as your expected wage is considered cheap compared to the seniors.

For entry level jobs in accountancy ,the only way you're gonna get a job is being here. No one will hire an offshore candidate for entry level.

Plan your moves quick as now is the best time to apply for jobs. The younger you are the better this migration journey is going to be.

Most important never listen to anyone who isn't here , cause all you will here is negative news.

A friend who's a qualified accountant and wife only spm. Both work with good pay back there while wife work as sales. They had their pr and they applied job offshore. Surprisingly the wife found a job offshore while hubby yet to get for years. Few years later wife promoted and manage to buy house and cars and support the whole family.

My point is there's no exact answer to your question. Sometimes luck just came to doorstep. Don't get yourself so proud with your bachelor degree coz it's everywhere. It's all about skills and talents.
Even I can't do what she did.

I landed perth jobless but I tried damn hard apply 10 jobs per day and bugging agents everyday. I landed with job in 2 weeks.
I do get stress what if no job but bite the bullet you'll walk thru. I get more negative comments than anyone else here evn my malaysia boss tan sri.

Don't get shoot down by negative comments on jobless. You'll learn something new from others. Bend your knees and back. Be humble

Well said

I realized one thing here, where you graduated what school etc doesn't really matter at all. Only thing that matters is experience, better if its local Aussie experience .

Technical questions will be probably 20% the rest of the questions 80% will be about yourself.

They mostly want to know if you fit in with them...your plans for the future etc.

could be different for you, but based on my experience this has been it.

i am late in migrating arrived last year at 39, kid is 13 , managed to find permanent employment in my field after 3 months and quite comfortable package.

First 3 months i did short contracts in my field which really helped secure my current position.


No regrets, considered fortunate. Best To come early if you get a chance.
