Thanks for replying. I'm not sure if I've filled the EOI in right. I should have 70 points & it says I have 55. I'm English & fluent but think I've filled this bit in wrong as it asked for a qualification in the last year. Any ideas? I can go back in & change it. Thanks

You can submit as many EOI as you like, so just redo it. I'm sure you know but you can't claim any points for English without having passed one of the specific tests ielts/PTE etc. Being English is of no relevance for a points based visa.

What are you basing your points on?

Have you done a skills assessment -- which I think should be ANMAC if you are a nurse? ANMAC require  IELTS for their asssessment, I may be wrong but I would have though you could then use that on the EOI as proof of English, assuming your score was high enough.

As Nemesis asked, have you had your skills assessed? You can't claim points for your degree, or your work experience, if you have not gained a positive assessment. I believe there is a minimum English language requirement for nursing anyway (IELTS, PTE etc) so again, this will up your points.

 

It's important you understand the process though. At the time you submit your EOI you must be able to prove your claims for points. For instance if you claim to have superior English on the 1st July, you must have passed the relevant test before this date Not after.

 

Loads of info on the forum, especially for nurses, so good luck

GCSE's. A levels and even your degree mean nothing. You must have a skills assessment to prove you have the occupation. As part of that, you may also need to take an English test at an advanced level. This is in addition to taking it for points.

Thanks again for your reply. I thought this was the easy bit. Don't know what to do next now. I haven't had a skills assessment no. Who do I contact for this? Also who to contact about these English tests. I'm starting at the beginning & need all the help I can get. Thanks everyone

I invite you to not be constrained by the location of possible migration agents.

Rather, you should be looking for an agent who has knowledge and experience - communications are so good these days you ought not be limited by where you are presently.

As an example, I'm replying to your post within 10 minutes, and I'm in Melbourne! 

Best regards.

Given agents mainly operate by phone and email, it doesn't really matter where they are. When I was doing my first visa, my agent was in Sydney and I was in Leicester. On my second I was in Sydney and my agent was in Perth.
