Points determine your eligibility for an Australia PR visa. As mentioned, you must score at least 65 points under the Points Grid. The table below describes the different criteria for scoring points:
Let us look at how points are calculated under each category:
Age: You will gain a maximum of 30 points if your age is between 25 to 32 years.
English proficiency: A score of 8 bands in the IELTS exam can give you a maximum of 20 points. However, the Australian immigration authorities allow applicants to take English proficiency tests such as IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, etc. You can try for the required score on any of these tests.
Work experience: Skilled employment outside Australia with 8 to 10 years of experience counting back from the date of your PR application will give you 15 points; fewer years of experience means fewer points.
Skilled employment in Australia with 8 to 10 years of experience from the date of application will give you a maximum of 20 points.
Education: Points for the education criteria depend on the educational qualification. Maximum points are given to a doctorate degree from an Australian university or a doctorate from a university outside Australia, provided it is recognized by the Australian government.
Spouse application: If your spouse is also an applicant for the PR visa, you will be eligible for additional points.
Other qualifications: You can gain points if you meet the following criteria.
*Disclaimer:
A quick eligibility check of Y-Axis is only to help the applicants understand their scores. The points displayed are based on your answers only. Please note the points on each section are evaluated based on various parameters set in the immigration guidelines, and a technical evaluation is a must to know your accurate scores and eligibility to find out which immigration program you can apply for. The Quick eligibility check does not guarantee you the below points; you may score high or low points once our expert team technically evaluates you. There are many assessing bodies that process skills assessment, which will depend on your nominated occupation, and these assessing bodies will have their own criteria in considering an applicant as skilled. State/ territory authorities will also have their own criteria to allow sponsorships, which an applicant should satisfy. So, it is very important for an applicant to go apply for a technical evaluation.
