Hi!!!

I got my positive skill assessment from CPA as an Accountant. I am scoring 115 (60 points for occupation + 30 points for age+ 10 points for 3 years work experience + 15 points for IELTS) whereas I need 120 for Australian Permanent residency.

I have NOT scored 7 in each section of IELTS as I got 8 in listening, 7.5 in speaking, 7 in reading and 6 in writing.

Can I get South Australian State Sponsorship with these scores and apply for Permanent Residency in South Australia?

If Yes, then how long this process will take?

Totally agree, there are numerous occupations that need good English skills but have been getting away with 5 in IELTS until recently, and now only 6 is needed for most occupations. I guess it is the "over supply" of accountants that is the problem. At least most accountants have done their studies by well known universities, and they always try to work as accountants......unlike an army of cooks who have studied in backstreet residence factories and after graduation and P.R (with 5 in IELTS) become taxi drivers... No offence to the real cooks (who are few and far between).

Hi Reddy, I am in Australia for a long time, would you please suggest me a profession where every day I can earn money paid for at-least 2 attempts? Just to refresh your memory it comes up to 310x2 = 620 dollars......and all that for a new immigrant?

I keep seeing many Contract Job Postings (Mostly from 3M to 6M) posted on Seek for $500 to $650/Day, or $60 to $80 per hour. I took earnings reference from there.

There are some jobs that pay that much, sure, but they don't, in any way, represent what a new immigrant would earn in any profession. These wages are typically paid to professionals with 10 or more years of experience, and I dont think they represent a vast majority of working people in Australia, who on the average take home around 200 dollars per 8 or 9 hour day after taxes....I am just trying to give a fair picture to the potential immigrants...cheers.

i have applied for re-checking my Writing module and got 0.5 increased. It was a time consuming process.

In my IELTS exam, I scored 8 in listening, 7.5 in speaking, 7 in reading and 6 in writing. I was confident to score more than 7 in each module. I applied for re-checking of writing section and got my result yesterday but there is no change in my score. It was a waste of time and money.

i gave my ielts test on 8th may 2010. and the result was expected on 21st may 2010, today is 22nd but till now i m unable to check my result online. please guide me what can i do now?

how can i check my ielts result?

thanks in advance.

JoeBlogsOfOz

hi mehak, i am from Lahore too. You need to check with british council as the results delivery and timeline all depends on the test centre that arranges the test. It is different to what goes on here in Australia. In Australia, most centres post the address on 13th day, and is received in couple of days.


Good luck anyway ! are you planning to come to Australia? cheers, moeen

viktorjaisz

how about checking the status online or calling as the council as suggested.
Keep hitting the status page in the meanwhile.

I got an SMS from my test center on the 13th day of the test. I received the letter the very next day.

The website doesn't work !

Cheers,

Dear Charanjeet,

Have you re-taken your IELTS, if not, keep your spirit up and just go for one attempt more. I know it's annoying but you have to deal with it. Do you have Australian Education Office (AEO) in India, if yes, try that as you have already tried IDP and BC. Please don't mind, you may be good in other modules but try to find the real shortcomings in your writing style. Till July 1st you have the opportunity to make your case stronger.

Do listen to others who have suggested you to re-take.

Good Luck!
