Lodge an EOI and be invited to apply
Be sponsored by a relative living in a Designated Area or nominated by a State or Territory Government.
Meet the pass mark in the skilled migration points test - currently 60
Be aged between 18 and 44 inclusive
Pass Skills Assessment in an occupation on the relevant Skilled Occupations List
Have Competent English or higher
Meet health and character requirements
My points currently is 55, nalilito lang po ako dun sa requirement na "Pass Skills Assessment in an occupation on the relevant SOL" kasi po sa CPA po ang nirerequire ay 65 sa PTE or 7 sa IELTS. Yung PTE ko po ay 6 each, so kahit po pala ay naka 60pts kana at kung di mo din makuha ang 65 sa PTE or 7 sa IELTS ay di ka pa rin pala qualified sa 489. Sa ngayon po ay fulltime working na po ako sa linya ng Accounting and kung maka1year po ako ay doon ko sana kukunin ang 5pts kasi di ko na po afford ang mag professional year kasi medyo mahal po. Meron po ba dito na Accountant na nanggaling ng 489? Please help naman po. Thanks.

Hello, medyo not clear kung anu ang question/questions mo.
Pero try ko lang..
Pass Skills Assessment in an occupation on the relevant Skilled Occupations List
-this means na meron ka nang positive skills assessment from an assessing body related
sa occupation mo. In you case since accountant ka - CPA Australia
So kung CPA australia requires Proficient English which means IELTS: 7+ in each component; or PTE Academic: 65+ in each component;
Hindi ka mag qualify or merit a positive skills assessment from them with your score of 6 sa PTE. Which is a major thing.
So kailangan mo first mag qualify sa CPA australia's assessment criteria before progressing to the next stage.
Hope this makes sense to you. Let me know kung hindi.
