Australia ranks among the countries with the highest living standards in the world. At the same time, it is much easier to immigrate to this country than, say, to Canada or the United States. If you are no longer a student, but not yet a major businessman, then you can try your luck in Australia with the help of the so-called independent migration programs (these programs attract specialists to the country, the deficit of which is observed in the economy).
Instructions
Step 1
Learn English and prove your knowledge. Today there is an international English language testing system - International English Language Testing System (IELTS). In order to get acquainted with its requirements, it is enough to hammer the IELTS abbreviation into an Internet search engine. The links will find not only textbooks and teaching aids, but also courses for IELTS confirmation, and detailed information about organizations around the world that are eligible to take this exam. The IELTS exam tests knowledge of English in four areas - reading, listening, writing and speaking. To get a "credit", it is enough to pass each of them by 6 points.
Step 2
Find your occupation in Australia's The Skilled Occupations List or Sol. This list is constantly updated on the Department of Immigration Australia (DIAC) website. A citizen of Russia who has confirmed his compliance with this qualification by obtaining a certificate can apply for a vacancy. For example, the qualifications of IT specialists are confirmed by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). For confirmation of qualifications, you need to pay a state fee, documents will have to wait from 1, 5 to 3 months.
Step 3
Achieve the number of points set by the DIAC for a permanent immigrant visa. Points are awarded based on the results of the IELTS exam, for the demand for the profession, for the education received in Australia, for the breadth of professional skills, for the length of service in the profession, and even for age. The passing score varies from year to year. You can view the passing scores for past years on the website of the Australian Department of Immigration.
Step 4
Get a medical examination according to the form established by the Australian Immigration Center. Poor health or the need for long-term treatment of a potential immigrant may be the reason for the refusal to obtain a resident visa, even if his passing score meets the required level.
Step 5
If you have scored the required number of points and are healthy, you will receive a permanent resident visa, which will give you the right to reside in the country for an unlimited amount of time. It remains to put this visa in the passport and leave for a new place of residence in Australia.
