Frequently asked questions

How many Australia PR points does a 37-year-old with competent English get?

With a diploma or trade qualification, competent English and less than 3 years of overseas experience, a single applicant aged 37 scores 45 points for subclass 189.

Is 65 points enough for an invitation?
