In the new guidelines for immigrants immigrating to Australia, as of 14 September 2009, all immigrants coming to Australia must take an English test (IELTS), and get at least 5 out of the 4 different categories or more, depending on your job that you're applying for for the Subclass 457.
=*=
We've bought the Practice Materials for the Test and they just arrived today. I took a look at it.
All hope has been lost; is what a part of my brain is telling me. However the stupid part of my mind is telling me that there is still hope if it's only 5 if she has to go for.
Damn it. I really didn't like the look of the IELTS (Practice Materials). It looked so shady. =.,=
To hell with the person who was the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship when this guideline was proposed in September 2009! To hell with him!
...And I've just come to seriously despise the Australia Government, although it's because I wish to remain in the country that is under their guidance. How ironic. =*=
And I used to like Kevin Rudd, but he happened to be the Prime Minister at that time.
My opinions has changed. :/
Also, I took a look at the Student Visas stuff, and I mayyyy be able to stay if I tryyyyyy and attemptttttt to get oneeee....
...Since you have to pass a health check to get any visa - ....Does Depression count as an illness?
I hope they don't take that into account... or that they don't test mental disorders... ahahaha...
Although I'm worried whether my mum will pass the health check or not... and she's been saying that her ears aren't very good lately so what would happen if she wasn't able to do any of the Listening Task in the IELTS?
I guess there's still hope left, although a little, tiny spark...
Yaaaaaahhh~
Easiest way out, let's move back to Thailand!!!
I'll die from all the homework and assignments and cram schooling, but who caressss!???
Iii definitely donnn'tttt careeee anyyyymoreeeee!!!!!!
AHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
:3 I've gone insane.
Ohhh...sounds hard.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they will count your depression unless you say anything about it.
Since you are not on drugs (to help with it), and you haven't talked to anyone and been labeled as chronically depressed, I'm sure they won't take notice to it. If they do, well I will admit that I am wrong, as I do not know everything, and I am human i.e I get things wrong :P
And for your mum's ears..hmmmm
I think health check might refer to contagious/communicable illnesses and diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, leprosy, HIV/AIDS.
And you also have to have a x-ray.
So, I think you are both ok. :)
The test sounds hard though. :/
You should try and get a student visa. Definitely!!!
Unless they suspect me and ask about it - one of the websites said that "doctors should be aware since Depression and Anxiety can lead to other physical illness".
DeleteI'll have to act happy then, although I'll probably be in a bad mood since health checks are sooooo bothersome and annoying.
Wha?
Yeah, we'll probably be both okay for the health check... wait, I'm not so sure anymore... my mum looks like she could die at any moment... and no, health check is a little more than that, since we took one 4 years ago as well... ==
When I was talking about the ears I meant the English test. The recording for the Listening Task is only played once, after all. And the Speaking test, too. If she couldn't hear the other person, they may take it as that she didn't understand him... although that may also be the reason...
But, you know, I can't be bothered with stuff like that.
I can't be bothered with anything.
You might want to get me out of Depression first before anything else. :P But then again, it might just disappear after I manage to get a stable visa, so.......
