In this blog, we are going to talk about how the whole immigration procedure looks like. This article will also discuss the aforementioned points too. So, let’s get started.

How to Immigrate to Australia?

As mentioned before, the immigration procedure in Australia, especially for a web developer, goes through six different steps. Here’s what you need to know about them.

1: Checking the Eligibility Criteria.

The eligibility criteria of the Australian Eligibility procedure is quite different from any other popular immigrating country. It’s usually done in a point format. Here’s how it looks.

Maximum Point	The Categories
20 Points	Proficiency in English
30 Points	Age range between 25 to 32
20 Points	Work Experience in Australia (8-10 years)
15 Points	Work Experience outside of Australia (8-10 years)
20 Points	Education outside of Australia (Doctorate Degree)
5 Points	Study in a regional area

15 Points	Regional or relative sponsorship
5 Points	De facto partner with proper English competency.
10 Points	Applicant who doesn’t have a de facto partner
5 Points	State sponsorship
5 Points	Spending a professional year in a skilled assessment

Note: Remember, you have to be below 45 prior to applying for a PR visa. Also, you have to get at least 65 points to be eligible for the immigration.

2: Acquiring Your Skill Assessment.

When it comes to applying for your skill assessment, you will need to provide a few things to the Australian government. Go through the following to know more about it –

A photocopy of your current passport.
Your Resume or Curriculum Vitae.
Payment evidence.
Educational qualification, and
Employment Reference.

Based on the documentation you’ve offered, the ACS will evaluate your current educational qualification and work experience. It will be done both at a professional and a personal level.

3: Submitting an Expression of Interest.

The expression of interest, or EOI, is a tool that can manage and maintain selection under one or more immigration programs. It can choose a migration candidate for multiple skills as well as programs for either permanent or temporary stay. But, to make your attempt successful, you’ll have to apply for the EOI properly, Here are some tips that can help you out –

Gather each and every supportive document you need for the EOI.
Write everything in a concise and formal manner.
Be prepared to pay a huge amount of application fee.
Provide all of your personal information truthfully.
List experience and qualifications as directed in the form.
If needed, ask your family members to fill out the forms as well.

Finally, before you submit your EOI, make sure to check it as closely as possible. If you make even a single mistake, the whole application will be canceled by the ACS.

4: Receiving the Invitation to Apply.

If you have done everything properly, you will get an invitation to apply for the immigration. Then, you’ll have to focus on that and complete the paperwork properly as well.

It’ll be your formal application to the ACS about you wanting to move to the country and becoming a professional web designer there.

Thus, you must use a formal and professional tone while completing the paperwork. Take the help of a professional if you can. But, don’t forget to review it as closely as you can.

Again, even making a single mistake will delay the application to the brink. Sometimes, you will be asked to try the same again. So, it’s better to be careful.

5: Going through Police Checks and Medicals.

Once you have been selected to work for an organization, you’ll need to go through a medical check-up first. It’ll help the company in determining that you are in perfect health to work for them. If they find that something is wrong with your well-being, which might jeopardize their project, they might reject you. So, it’s better to be uptight about your condition from the start.

Besides this, an afp police check will also be conducted to have a look at your background. It has become quite common in Australia, as most people are seeking to make their workplace a little safer and better for everyone.

Usually, a police check will be conducted to check your –

Professional background (whether you have worked in the place that’s written in your CV, the truthfulness behind your work experience, etc.).
Cultural background (if you belong to the place where you claim to be, how long you have been in that place or follow the same culture, etc.).
Behavioral background (how was your general behavior when you were working in the previous office, do you have a background of violence and hatred, etc.).

In addition to these, a police check will also help the employers to know more about an individual’s educational background. This way, they’ll know if the person is perfect enough for the job the organization is offering or not.

6: Granting your Permanent Residency or Visa for Australia.

Once your application is reviewed, the ACS will oversee the results of your police check as well as the medicals. Once they have confirmed that you are, indeed, the right person to get the job, they’ll accept your application.

And, you will be provided with the permanent residency visa. It might take a while to come to your mailbox. However, once it does, you will be able to enter Australia and join your company right away!

So, that will be all for this article. Thanks for reading!
