I have created a guide to apply for permanent residency to Australia if anyone wants to apply by themselves without need of any agent. The prime objective is to motivate the good students who want to move abroad for more opportunities. You can share it if find feasible. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------- For those who are interested in applying for permanent residency of Australia, please find the detailed procedure, guideline and related links for applying Permanent Residency of Australia. This guideline is written from my own experience and the steps I have followed. The requirements/information may change over the time so please refer to the official links provided for most up to date information. Specially for those graduates who have very low GPA's and couldn't find any scholarship/job opportunity. You can hard work to get 8 bands in IELTS or 79 score in PTE-A and you are most likely eligible to apply for PR based on your degree. The typical breakdown of points for graduates if you get PTE-A/IELTS score mentioned above would be, Age (25-32) -> 30 Points Bachelors with honors/Masters related to occupation in SOL -> 15 IELTS 8 bands each or PTE-A score of 79 in each module -> 20 If you meet this criteria you are eligible to apply for Skilled independent visa 189.
