The issuance of this directive has once again determined the dominant position of skilled immigrants in Australia this fiscal year, among which medical and teachers have surpassed IT and engineering to become the most preferred occupations for trial.
Because the directive emphasizes the priority level in priority, it does not apply to visas of 188-888, which also means that the visa categories that have obtained priority rights in special periods due to the epidemic, such as agriculture, global talent categories, 188C, etc., have gradually returned to normal trials.
With the surge in quotas and overseas applications will be given priority review, applicants for skilled immigration visas and employers guaranteed visas have ushered in a golden age for immigration to Australia!
