there will be no occupation-related points, only experience-related points.

I presumed that Accountant will still in the list by 1/07/2011. Here is my points :

Age - 25 points
English (Band 7) - 10 points
Overseas Work Experience - 8/10 years - 15 points
Bachelor Degree - 15 points
Australian Qualification - 5 points

25+10+15+15+5 = 70 points ?

So Easy, Sure ?

Yes, as easy as that.

Hello friends,

It is a very good point system focusing on experience/ age/ qualification. But the english language points systems seems weird. No points for ielts 6 in each wow. I got 8 overall and 8 bands in each except in writing in which i got 6.5. and i won't be getting any points for ielts as if i am not proficient in English according to new rules. The policy makers should have learn something from canadian immigration program in which the language points are awarded for each different module of ielts. 'In each' criteria is not the way to decide the english proficiency anyway.

Hi

Experience will be counted for experience in which professions?
I have 5yrs exp as Oracle DBA .
So will I get the 10 points for the same or the old SOL will be used

Thanks

you can use old sol only if you are under transitional arrangements or applying for state sponsorship/ENS.

What about people who have had less than 3 years work experience?

I think this is supposed to target more experienced lobby

I would say, stop talking and act fast..after all this change will come to effect on or after 1 July 2011 so all of us have enough time don't we?

get this thing done with the existing points table than worrying for something which i going t come on next year

we all have about good 8 months ahead of us before this change tkae place..

guys,

I am not making 65 points ! So I guess I have to act fast and get this SMP thing done and apply before then !. Guess I will be safe If I applied before July 11? or is there gonna be another disaster like Feb when you couldn't apply !

Cheers,

Get your assessment done and apply immediately, i think u have IELTS 7+ in each, so i guess you will go for 175, right?

Nice Avatar.

Salam Mian saab!

I still dont know why everybody is putting on red flowers.. but I just went by it following your lead !.

Boss, I am trying to borrow enough money to apply for ACT SMP. As I dont have the required funds, any ideas would be appreciated via PM!.

Come to think of it, getting 8 on each band is very difficult !. I agree with Umair.

Cheers,

before making any decision, also look at Queensland and WA, could be good choice.
