*Thanks for the reply. My issue is that i will need to score 79+ in PTE exam for me to attain 65points, but i can easily attain 65+ in the PTE exam according to my present performance, which is in english proficient level that gives me a total of 55points(in EOI) when checking my eligibility.pls i want to know if i can submit an EOI with 55points for subclass 149 knowing i'll be given 15 extra points from the province/state? do i need to have 65points before putting in my EOI?*

From your terms, I can see you also came from Canada thread so let me use it to relate to you;

189 is like the straight ita on Canada thread, when you get your grant ( PPr in Canada) you can reside anywhere in Australia, but unlike Canada not all jobs groups ( SOL in Aussie, NOc in canny) can apply for this 189. Your Job must be listed on MLTSOL ( meaning jobs that Australia will be needing for a long time) . If your occupation is listed on STSol or ROL ( short term sol or region sol) you can only apply for 190 or 491. 190 is like provincial nomination in Canada while 491 is like Atlantic migration just that you will not be needing a job offer before application like in Canada. 189 is very competitive even for the MTSol occupation, so if your point is not high enough90 and above, it is advised you apply for 190 or 491.

Like Canada provincial nomination, Australia states have their minimum requirements and occupations in demand. You have to visit the states website to know if your occupation is in demand there, if yes, you also know the requirements and method of application. Also note that Aussie is point based similar to Canada.
Saskatchewan province in Canadahas a special grid/ ranking , so does ACT have Canberra matrix.

The first step to apply is to get your skill assessment. For Canada, you write your ielts and do your ECA, but Australia own is more advanced than just ECA. Each occupation group has its own accessing body. You have to check the assessing body for your occupation, go to their website and check their requirements. Some require English competency like ielts, or pte academic ( eg EA and the body for teachers) while some do not. Others like TRA require minimum of 3 years experience in the occupation you want to assess. These assessment body in addition to assessing your experience, also assess you qualifications and relevance to the job occupation . For some of these bodies, they deduct 2 to 6 years from your work experience if your qualification is not relevant to the job function, ( eg ACS and Vetasses) while some others it is outright negative outcome ( eg TRA). This is the first major hurdle in processing Australia skilled migration visa.

If you get a possitive assessment, you have to enter the skill select pool by creating account there. In skill select, you can create many profiles unlike in Canada Express entry pool. In Canada, lots of ppl select interested in any province for nomination, but in Australia, you create separate expression of interest ( eoi) for each of the provinces that nominate your occupation. If you receive invite, you apply by submitting your documents. After that comes the nomination. With the nomination, you apply to DHA which is equivalent to CIC in Canada.
After some months ranging from 7 months to over 1year after application ( for 190 or 189) visa, the grant comes ( PPr in Canny) . In that grant, you will see your initial entry date ( IED), try to enter Aussie b4 this date.

Now, Aussie application is expensive compared to Canada. You should budget like 2 to 3m for processing/ application fees if you have a family of 3 from skill assessment to grant.

After you get grant, budget from 800k to 1.3m for flight for 1 person.

When you reach your destination, accommodation is another thing. Rent is calculated weekly. Don't fret, it is similar to Canny. Regional areas are cheaper.

When you scale all these, the sky is your starting point as Australia has almost the highest minimum wage in the world.

To answer the last question, they say 491 is the new gold as the competition for 190 is stiff and provinces prefer to give 190 to ppl already working and residing in their state,that does not mean you cannot go ahead and apply for 190 if your points are high enough.

With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince and not confuse you that......

Greetings,

I must say I learnt a lot from your answers. Pls I also need some clarifications.

I have been looking towards Canada but my spouse recently got a link for Australia through a friend. It's going to be a one year visit visa, we were told that after few months, the visa can be converted to PR for a couple of years,. Pls is this really feasible ?

What do you advice? I and my spouse are both laboratory scientists.

Will be looking forward to your response
