I went to Australia for my master degree in 2018, came back to China in 2020 because of the coronavirus. I started working in July 2021, and began preparing for the immigration process in 2023. Here is the timeline.
First PTE test in 07 Dec 2023, proficient English (L78 R80 S83 W73). Meanwhile I got my first skill assessment certification as environmental engineer.
Second PTE test on 25 Jan 2024, proficient English(76 71 84 79)
Third PTE test on 03 Feb 2024, proficient English(78 66 77 83). It was near Spring Festival, and I was having meltdown because I wanted superior English results so badly. I took a break to adjust my attitude.
Fourth PTE test on 04 July 2024, proficient English(76 85 84 82). So close!!
Fifth PTE test on 26 July 2024, superior English (81 85 87 85). Finally, I have 85 points.
Then I rested for several months, which I regret now. I was not invited for the Nov 2024 189 round because I didn’t have the CCL score to achieve 90.
Pass the CCL test in 19 Dec 2024. Meanwhile I got the second skill assessment certification as engineering technologist.
No environmental engineer and engineering technologist was invited for the August 2025 189 round, which made me prepare my third skill assessment as environmental consultant (received on 25 Sep 2025).
Finally got invited on 13 Nov 2025!!
Almost six months later, my visa got granted. Everything started in 2018. It takes me 8 years to achieve my dream!
I am going to quit my job tomorrow and start travelling for several months. Then board in Melbourne in August. I hope I will have a happy life in Australia. Wish me luck!
