specific invited occupations and scores are as follows (refer to Matrix score), among which the minimum invited score of 190 is 80 points, and the minimum invited score of 491 is 60 points. Generally speaking, the invited scores of overseas applicants are generally lower than those of domestic applicants.







This fiscal year Canberra did not obtain many temporary quotas for skilled immigration, of which 190 had 800 quotas, ranking last in all states, with 491 quotas of 1,920, ranking fifth. After this round of invitation, 190 and 491 temporary quotas remained 569 and 1433 respectively.



According to the information on the Canberra official website, the next round of invitations is expected to be on November 28, 2022. For friends who are on the list of key careers in Canberra, they may wish to correctly evaluate their situation and confirm whether to apply.

Canberra has its own independent Matrix scoring system. For overseas applicants, if their scoring situation is close to the invitation score and meets the following requirements for overseas applicants, they can also try it, including:

• nominated occupations on the ACT Critical Skills List;
• 190 applicants need to have full-time jobs from large and medium- and large ACT enterprises offer;
• 491 applicants need more than three years of work experience in the nomination;
• IELTS at least 4 7 points;
• I don’t hold an Australian visa and have not lived in Australia in the past year;



In the case of severe shortage of labor in Australia, Australia is still relatively friendly to overseas applicants. Friends who have Australian immigration plans must seize the opportunity and plan in advance. After all, Australian immigration should be early rather than late!
