Calculate your points and check your eligibility for skilled migration to Australia
The Australian Points Test is a critical component of the skilled migration process, designed to assess an applicant’s eligibility based on factors such as age, work experience, education, and language proficiency. This system ensures that only highly skilled individuals who can contribute to Australia’s workforce are selected for permanent residency.
The Points Test assigns scores to different criteria, with a minimum threshold required to qualify for an invitation to apply for skilled migration. While it provides a clear framework for potential migrants to evaluate their eligibility, the system can be complex. Factors like regional sponsorship, professional skill assessments, and state nomination may also impact an applicant’s chances.
Although the Points Test offers a basic understanding of eligibility, migration experts like TRV Global play a crucial role in guiding applicants through the complexities of the process. A professional consultant can help identify alternative pathways, improve point scores through strategic choices, and ensure a successful visa application. With ever-changing immigration policies, expert advice is invaluable in maximizing the chances of securing an Australian skilled visa.
If you’re planning to migrate under the skilled program, a thorough evaluation by professionals can make the process smoother and increase your chances of success.
