I am a pharmacy student.I have a plan to work as pharmacist in Australia. Can I come to Australia and work as a pharmacist when I have a license from Taiwan? What tests will I need to pass? And what other skills do I need to have? Thanks in advance.

Before you can obtain a skilled migration visa for Australia as a retail or hospital pharmacist, you must obtain a positive skills assessment from The Australian Pharmacy Examining Committee (APEC) which is the body responsible for skills assessment for migration purposes. See the following and follow the links to the APEC website for information on what is required: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/p/pharmacist-retail-pharmacist-2382-15.htm http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/p/pharmacist-hospital-pharmacist-2382-11.htm Part of the APEC requirements is that you must meet strict English language requirements. Language requirements are based on either the Occupational English Test (OET) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A score of ‘A’ or ‘B’ in all four components of the OET or an overall Band score of at least 7.5 (with a minimum score of 7.0 in each of the four components) at the Academic level of IELTS is an essential prerequisite for enrolment in the APC Stage I Examination (as used in Stream A). The OET and IELTS may be taken overseas or in Australia. Because you are still a student and will require a minimum of 12 months work experience after graduation before you can apply for a visa, you will not require registration specific to the state in which you wish to practise. After 1 July 2010, pharmacists will be nationally registered to practise pharmacy in any state or territory in Australia.

How much fluency should I have to be a foreign exchange student?

How much fluency should I have to be a foreign exchange student?
I want to become a foreign exchange student my junior year of high school. I've decided I want to visit Taiwan. The info about the programs says no Mandarin is required, though they would like if you have some. I am almost done with Level 1 of Rosetta Stone Mandarin. Would I be able to communicate, fit in, make friends, and live for a year in Taiwan with that much knowledge?

I think that you should have intermediate-advanced at least. If you go with basic, you will learn alot though and eventually be able to fit in, but maybe not at first.
2 :
Rosetta Stone....ehh, I don't know. Haven't heard a lot of good stuff from people using that program. I would have suggested that you used Pimsleur or Teach Yourself instead. Though if you can hold a decent conversation, form/read sentences, and basically have the basics down then I don't see why you're not prepared. Though some exchange programs prefer if you don't know much considering you're going for language immersion, but not all are like this. It really just depends on what exchange program you go through. They'll place you with a family, or in a specific location depending on your fluency level.
3 :
If you got the basic Chinese that would be great. you also should still more practice with native or Chinese speaking guys. I recommend you can continue to study with Rosetta stone or find a tutor local or online , it wil correct your mistake and make you take less wrong way.

How to find a host family in Taiwan?


How to find a host family in Taiwan?
I'm going to Taiwan for one month in the summer. I've tried looking on the internet but so far I've had no luck at finding a host family for my time there. Can anyone with experience with this let me know how they found their host family in Taiwan? Or any possible ways in which I could arrange this? (I'm a female university student studying Mandarin) I'm going to university in Beijing, not in Taiwan. So it's more of an informal stay for only one month before I go to Beijing.
