yeah could be. i dunno. i applied b4 1st sept 2007. does not affect me at all.
but anyhow, if you reach 120 mark, the xtra points from IELTS doesnt make any diff anyway. those who get priority processing are those with xtra points from the MODL list. it would of coz be best if you have a job offer that is on the MODL list. so there as you've said, those that are under 120, do well in IELTS.

Just of of curiousity. How much do I need to pay for applying for Australian PR now? Last time I checked its about 1450AUD

Thank you

i have to admit that country is turning upside down.. but for me, malaysia is a sanctuary.. i can't get better any better food or people in other countries.. i wouldn't leave my family or relatives behind.. anyway decide properly and carefully.. don't end up regretting and burning your RM20k.. maybe u should confirm your work there 1st..

mine was 2010 AUD? something like that

Kikurazz, have you got your PR ?

nope. but i shud have! thanks to the mas gov coz i'm still waiting for my msia police clearance. i applied my clearance in july, it's now dec. How efficient.
that's the only outstanding doc left

I also want to migrate...
Is that very difficult to go through the process ?

Well u must have the followings.

1) degree or above
2) work experiance 3-4 years
3) older u are lesser points
4) good command of english

basic requirement. rest is bonus points eg, australian degree, spouse is qualified. and cost rm 20k

cannot be ar..i applied my PCC during april, and got it around june...

when did you reply? which area r u going to?

btw, which clinic u went for the health check-up?

wish you all the best...

PCC usually takes 2 months in general from my own experience and understanding. so probably kikurazz wasnt so lucky

i was in oz when i applied. so i went thru the mas high commission in canberra.
dunno, i gotta give them a call sooner or later. !@#$

well next time when you are older at 40+ and find your kids not getting what they could have gotten if you ventured overseas you will may think differently.

in my opinion it always best to spend 2-3 years overseas and then decide to come back to Msia if you really miss Msia that much. I find these 2-3 years overseas is pretty golden as on one end you can save money (if u pick the right country) and on the other get some valuable experience which will give you an edge over other ppl in Msia if u do decide to come back.

Folks,

Ok, I am also have another headache which is choosing proper migration agent which also require your expertise advice again.

a) migration agent based in sydney has a office in kl run white australian lawyer.

b) migration agent based in kl has affliated office in melbourne run chinese malaysian lawyers. (could be australian migrant)

c) migration agent based in singapore affliated office in sydney run singaporean lawyer. No KL office.

Any idea whom shall we select if incase we decided to apply ? Any advice based on shall we select the migration agent ?

Regard
dr luv

Choose a migration agent whom you can trust and have confidence in succeeding your visa.

you will waste a lot of time and money couriering documents overseas

Added on December 15, 2007, 5:46 pmhonestly speaking these agents all the same. theres no gurantee. as long as u meet the points thats it. you go through agent maybe if you have a big family father mother sisters brothers children etc then you go through the agent to save all ur hassle. because you just go to the immi website see which form u need to fill and then just fill and just attach wats requested thats it. anything less they will contact u via email and request for it. so not to worry

I would choose an agent that can give you the proper service here in KL. Some agents are from Australia and set up an office here in KL manned by an administrator only (and they visit a few times each year). Then there are also Malaysians here in KL who are qualified migration agents and have an office in KL (and perhaps in Australia also). I would prefer someone local so that you can easily reach them if you have any issues.

i would say dump the agent if you can apply urself. 1stly, are u qualified to consider a migration? what type of visa are u getting? coz i have frens over here (oz) that engages an agent and still not able to get a PR & there is no guarantee that u can have ur PR thru an agent. you could seriously save on the agent fee and spend it elsewhere. i dunno. i might be wrong. but i did mine myself using the e-visa online and seems pretty easy. but diff visa differ.

What is the common practice adopted by most people?
1) Obtain a Visa, migrate and look for a job; or
2) Secure a job, work on the Visas later?

Considering the fact that a person needs to resign, move over and look for a job later, it is going to be very risky.. being jobless for god knows how long

If anybody wants to migrate for that reason, please think again or at least seek the opinion of people who actually know.

Someone said above one of Malaysia's good is good choice of entertainment, perhaps this is one of the main reason why we Malaysians so hard to save money here.

Go circle midvalley a round and you found that plenty of your cash just vanished into thin air.

People will go to wherever that can utilize their skill to the best, or to wherever they feel worthy to stay.
