Hi all,
I'm kind of in a fix; my husband and I were planning to apply for 189 with him as the primary applicant and me as the dependent. Now that we got our TOEFL iBT results, things have changed a bit. I got 118 on the test which means I can claim 20 points for language.
If my husband is primary applicant we get to claim 65 points
Age:30
Qualification [ACCA & MBA]:15
Language: 10
Partner skill:5
Work Experience:5
If I am the primary applicant we get 70 points
Age:30
Qualification (Bachelors):15
Language: 20
Partner skill:5
Work Experience:0
So now I have three questions;
1. I don't have any work experience ever since I finished my BSc.in 2013. Will that negatively affect our application despite the fact we have more points?
2. Is it going to hurt my husband's chances of securing a job once we get there or would I, being the primary applicant, have to get a job first for him to be able to work?
3. I'm planning to get my Bsc.(hons) (A 4 year degree in Accounting and Finance) assessed by CPA for general accountant category, anyone who has faced issues with assessment based on only a Bsc. degree because most people have an accounting qualification (ACCA, CA etc.)
Hoping to get a response soon
