like, if you are an accountant then you must obtain 80 points to become a PR.
You must be thinking that what are these points?
Points are just a method to check
your eligibility to become a PR. You can check your eligibility from the link
given below.
Your points rely on these factors like
age,
education,
English proficiency etc. Let's discuss these factors one by one.
1. Age
Look at this table. Your age affects your points. For example if
your age is from 21 to 25 then you'll be rewarded with 25 points, but if your age
is from 40 to 45 then you'll get 15 points only.
2. English
proficiency.
There are several English proficiency
tests available like IELTS PTE TOEFL, Cambridge test etc. You just need
to apply for them and have to score maximum. If you score 7 bands then you'll
be rewarded with 10 points and if you score more than 8 then you'll get
20 points. So try to get maximum band score.
Secret Tip.
Go for PTE, that one is
easier than IELTS or TOEFL.
3. Employment
If you were working outside
Australia and have enough experience, then it's your chance to get a maximum
of 15 points. But if you are working in Australia then according to this table
you'll get maximum 20 points.
