JohnDoug Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Just want to find out if there are any Landscape Architects or Architects on here that have applied for a 189 since 1st July 2018? From what we have gathered so far is that it is not an occupation that is in demand at all in Oz but it is on the MLTSSL and we have been waiting for ages. Maybe I am missing something. We only have 70 points so maybe not enough for an invite. Edited February 1, 2019 by JohnDoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for you reply. Our agent submitted our EOI in October 18 for 190 as we did not have enough points for 189. We passed the English test with superior score to gain extra points to get us up to 70. Agent amended EOI on the 9th Jan to a 189. It seems that very few if any at all with 70 points got an invitation 11/2/19 round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on all the data released by DOHA there has been no invitations for 189 with 65 points. Even 70 pointers are struggling. It seems the future trend will be 75 points or higher will receive invitations. Have you passed the English test with superior score? if not then do that as you will gain 10 more points to take you up to 75 then you should definitely get an invite. Good luck i hope you get invited soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From our personal perspectives it is very bad but unfortunately the way it works is that we do not choose Australia but Australia chooses us. Since the points increase in July many people have had their dream of living down under shattered but from their ( DOHA ) point of view by increasing the threshold they get better candidates so it makes the job market more competitive and they have insure that the labour pool is highly skilled. We did PTE 4 times to get the extra points so just study and do it and you will get an invite. Edited February 13, 2019 by JohnDoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes we did receive nomination this morning. Just after I replied to your post our MARA agent called to say that we received an invitation. Was losing hope there for a second as we are not far off for losing points for age, turning 40 soon. Feels like an enormous weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Absolutely ecstatic at the moment. Edited February 13, 2019 by JohnDoug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you have a better chance with a masters degree. But very important is superior English and as said before you will most certainly get an invitation with the 10 extra points to take you up to 75. How many times have you taken PTE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hami Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) 1 time.. End of the next month I do it .yes, it's better. Edited February 15, 2019 by hami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most people ( including native English speakers ) the first time will only get them a proficient score. It is worth going the extra mile and getting the extra 10 points with a superior score. It might just make all the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
