    "Someone" means, an eligible blood relative, who is a permanent resident or a citizen in Australia. Employer nomination has to be done through a migration lawyer who has contacts with a person or group, those who recruit people in their companies or workplaces and then facilitate them in obtaining their visa. They give you a letter of confirmation mentioning that you work in there but that position has to match with the position you are applying in SOL. For example, If you get assessed as an IT manager, you will have to find an employer, who offers you a position related to that category and also when you qualify under employer nominated sponsorship category, you may need to work in regional areas rather than in metropolitan areas in Australia. Please consult a migration lawyer for more information regarding state and employer nominated sponsorship.

    machang if my position is not in the SOL....what then?? and bro if i do have a blood relation who got a PR...then what's the procedure? just give me a rough idea

    I agree with some of your ideas. Neither am I doing a promotion campaign nor am I telling everyone that studying in Australia will bring you "ultimate" benefits, whereas our country provides the same quality education at lower prices. For half of the amount, you are likely to spend in Australia, you may finish up to a Ph.D. in Sri Lanka.

    But here,I am answering the questions that people have towards Skilled Migration. In some occasions, there are people who get trapped and cheated without correct & updated information.Some people have paid money and struggling to have refunds when they have got failed.So this is just a help for those people. I personally do not need to encourage a person to migrate to Australia, if he or she has a good living condition in Sri Lanka.

    But there are people who have been depressed due to various issues they have in their home countries. Some of the people do not get a proper salary for their position or job. Some are looking for better living conditions. Some need to get world class qualifications as studying in Australia will give you relatively better aspects rather than studying in Sri Lanka.

    The offshore visa process you have mentioned here, was introduced from 1st of January 2013, where everyone can submit an expression of interest to see how eligible they are before applying for a specific visa category. Before that, only the people studying in Australia will get the chance to apply for PR. But now everyone can go through.

    I do not think that you have done an insult to this thread since you have expressed your personal views. I appreciate that. What you have told is the truth.

    But I am expected to answer those people, when they ask me questions as I started this thread with the intention of helping people genuinely at no cost. They might feel bad about me , if i request them to stay in Sri Lanka and try to apply from there when they ask me about coming in to Australia for their needs.

    So, I only can answer them according to their needs and considering their background. Whether to migrate or not is something they have to decide. Where ever you go, the reality is harsh and bitter. That's unstoppable unless you are a millionaire.

    So I believe that I have directed them on certain topics and how they should act accordingly. Throughout this thread, I did not encourage anyone to stop everything they are doing at the moment in Sri Lanka and go to Australia because it's the heaven.
    Australia is not a heaven indeed but we cannot stop people from going there as there are thousands who have been successful at the end.

    So guys the decision is up to you'll. I have clearly stated the purpose of this thread which is named as " Who wants to know about Skilled Migration in Australia". It does not mean that I am pushing you through the process of going to Australia. I am just giving you facts about Skilled Migration and how it works. Because, studying in Australia is one thing. Skilled migration is another thing. I am giving information on the second topic.

    Even if you have a blood relative, you will not be able to apply for visa, if your qualification is not assessed under a closely nominated occupation in SOL. Since you are applying off-shore (Outside Australia), they give first priority to the job category you are applying for and then comes the other aspects like IELTS, experience, your degree etc. If your degree is assessed under a category in the SOL, you may try the rest but without having that , it's hard to get a chance. Because, SOL is the list of positions or else the identified skills that Australia needs to fill up. So if your assessed job category is not included, they do not need to offer you a place.

    It depends on the degree you are planning to study for. There are IT degrees, Engineering and many more. Machan, please have a look at the SOL on www.immi.gov.au
    You may find information about that. If you need to know about applying for PR, please visit the below link.

    Skill Migration IELTS 7 da?
    TR 6 da?
    Once someone has finished his or her studies(Degree or Masters), they can apply for a visa called, Sub class 485 temporary skilled graduate, which gives 18 months time to remain in Australia. That's a post-study visa which was formerly known as TR. For that, you need to have 6 on each in IELTS. Normally, when students are unable to achieve each band 7 to apply for PR, they will go for this visa before their visa expires.

    Because during that 18 months given, they may apply for PR at any time, when they get either 7 on each in IELTS or 1 year full-time work experience in their assessed field.

    From the 1st of January 2013, the Immigration department has introduced a system called Skill Select, where anyone from any country can go through, if they have relevant qualifications to apply for a visa. For anyone, at least to access this system,you need to have at least 6 on each but you will get no points out of 60. You will get 10 points, only if you have 7 on each and 20 points if 8 on each in IELTS respectively.

    But if you have an eligible relative to sponsor you, you will get 10 points for that as well, which means you still can apply with your each 6 result because, 10 points are claimed from that sponsorship. But if you get sponsored by an eligible relative, your visa category will be changed to "sub class 489 Skilled Provisional" which gives you a period of 4 years to remain in Australia but you can apply for PR after that. If you apply with your own qualifications and IELTS etc, you will the get the direct PR, which is known as Skilled Independent 189.

    If you study for a qualification, which is assessed as accredited in the Skilled Occupation List,you may apply for PR or any other visa category. For example, If you study for a degree in Computer Systems or a degree in engineering, the closely nominated occupations are listed depending on your qualification. You need to have a look at the Skilled Occupation List for all the jobs included as recognised.

    If you do not have enough points to apply for a visa, you may go for sponsorships. Either you can be sponsored by an eligible relative living in Australia, who is a PR holder, a citizen OR a state sponsorship, in which you sign in an agreement with an employer to work for him and he will sponsor you for your visa but you will have to continue working with him for sometime. But if you can study for a valid qualification, if you can get your IELTS score, you will not need anyone since it covers up everything you need to apply for your PR.

    It's not that easy. I need to tell you that. Because, half of it depends on luck and the rest depends on how smart your migration agent or lawyer is. There is no guarantee that if a student fails to apply for a visa due to low resources he or she has, companies are waiting to sponsor them. It needs a lot of effort. Even if you get a chance, it could be either in a regional area or out of state.

    Before applying for jobs, the first thing is to get a visa to remain in Australia. So, I will tell you about that. Since it's an Australian degree conducted in Sri Lanka, she will be able to get her degree assessed by the Australian Computer Society. That has to be done when she has completed her studies. If she can score 8 on each band in IELTS, she may apply for PR without any support or sponsorship. Because, an applicant can get 30 points for his or her age, 15 points for degree and 20 points IF he or she has scored 8 on each band in IELTS. Then she will get a total of 65 points and she needs only 60.

    But in many occasions, we have issues with our IELTS score, because we are not native Australians. We are Asians. So English is our second language not the first.

    At that stage, you will have to consult a migration lawyer to get an advice. Suppose your daughter has scored 7 on each. So she will get 10 points and get a total of 55 points. To get the remaining 5, an applicant can go for Australian state or territory sponsorship but it's not that easy and has to be done through an agent.

    If the applicant has an eligible relative in Australia, she can get their sponsorship ans it gives 10 points. So there are ways to make that total into 60 but not that easy. Some depends on luck and the rest depends on the applicant's enthusiasm in getting the visa. So select the options carefully and necessarily.

    I am so glad to have answered the common questions of people, who intend to migrate to Australia under Skilled Migration procedure. I got 28 PM's since the day I started this thread and did my best to answer all of them with relevant information. If anyone is not satisfied with the feedback given to them, you may clear your doubts by visiting the official website of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, Australia.

    IELTS 7 k nathuwa barida?
    If you do not have an eligible blood relative to sponsor you or you do not have any kind of sponsorship, you should get 7 on each to acquire points. It gives you 10 points. IELTS score may vary depending on the visa category you are applying for and how many points left to be obtained through that.
