I'm pretty sure IELTS scores are not valid after 2 years, regardless of what you're using them for.

maybe i should put it mine is more straight forward compared to my ex-colleague who's husband is not a malaysian thus had to get police clearance from his home country tongue.gif

yeah, i got mine within 3 months

the application itself is not difficult but its darn tedious... e.g. my malaysian birthcert is old and is in Malay, so i went to JPN, paid RM5 to extract a new English version only to find out that the form template is in English but the data is filled in in Malay bangwall.gif
so i had to get that translated at RM80/piece by an authorized translator

plus, you only apply 190 if you do not have enough points for 189... you need a minimum of 60 points for most jobs for 189
190 gives you additional 5 points in case you only get 55 points for 189

Of course....but you did live a while in Tassie....so 'strain lifestyle isn't completely unfamiliar....

I am a bit ambivalent about the "world's most livable city"....better options elsewhere I think....

have preference towards Tassie, same goes with my wife... just that school ranking and job opportunities are lacking...

depends on how the survey was conducted and who are the majority... heck... its no different from Kl because the locals are also going to private schools laugh.gif

School, no need top rank lah...

In any country, you will always have the elite wanting private education....

Whole point of migrating is, education standards good enough, no need expensive private education....I thought?....if still want private education, might as well stay in msia....cheaper private schools....
