Australia’s skilled immigrants have begun to let loose.
Since the Australian Ministry of Home Affairs issued a new round of skilled immigration invitations in August this year, applicants for Australian skilled immigrants have finally seen the light after the COVID-19 epidemic.
html This time in December, Australia issued another 35,000 invitation letters in one go!You must know that due to the impact of the epidemic, a total of 2,433 people were invited for the 189 visa and the 491 visa in the 2020-21 fiscal year. In the second year of fiscal year 2021-22, only 3,050 people were invited.
In August this year, 189 suddenly broke out, and 12,200 invitations were issued. In October, 11,200 invitations were issued. As of the 8th of this month, the Australian Ministry of Home Affairs has issued nearly 60,000 invitations for in the 2022-23 fiscal year.
This nearly 20-fold increase in the number of invitations is not unreasonable to call it an "amnesty". After all, too many qualified applicants have been waiting in the pool for two years.
Sometimes, immigration is really a matter of fate.
shocked! It is easier to apply overseas than within the country
Overseas applicants are invited with low scores
The most shocking invitation made by the Ministry of Home Affairs this time is that the lowest score for invitations to overseas (offshore) applicants is higher than the lowest score for onshore (onshore) applicants. It is even common to not invite applicants within Australia and only invite overseas applicants.
Let’s first review Australia’s skilled immigration policy. Australia's skilled immigrants are divided into three categories: (1) 189 independent skilled immigrants, (2) 190 state government guaranteed skilled immigrants, and (3) 491 regional skilled work permit.
90/491 are similar in that they are separate skilled immigration channels for each state, while 189 is a federal technical visa channel. 89 does not limit the state of landing. IELTS requires a score of 6 or above, a person under 45 years old, and someone with relevant work experience. You need to complete an occupation assessment form before applying. The occupation needs to be on the shortage list stipulated by the Immigration Bureau, and it must be an occupation on the medium and long-term occupation list. On this basis,
will pass an EOI score sheet and if the score exceeds 65 points, you can enter the Australian invitation pool and wait to be picked.
(If you want to know the rating table, please contact our staff~) Once
is invited, it is basically equivalent to getting PR.
Under normal circumstances, if you are under 39 years old, single, have a bachelor's degree, have an IELTS score of 4 or 7, and have 8 years of relevant work experience (you do not need to have worked in Australia), you can easily get a passing score of 65 points.
90/491 state nominations often have lower qualification requirements for applicants, and there are cases where you can be invited with 60 points. The protagonist of our article is the 189 visa.
Judging from the minimum scores for invitations announced by the Australian Department of Home Affairs in August and October, many professional overseas applicants were invited with a low passing score of 65.
The score line for its equivalent applicants in Australia may be 70 or 75 points, and many do not even invite applicants from Australia.
We have taken a few pictures of the lowest scores for relevant job invitations in the past two months. Let’s take a look:
The scores on the left are for overseas applications, and the scores on the right are for domestic applications.
As you can see, the positions include chemical engineer, civil engineer , quantity surveyor , chef and carpenter, etc., and only overseas applicants are invited. Psychologists, psychiatrists, early childhood education, university lecturers, etc. are very scarce job types, and those invited at home and abroad all have a passing score of 65 points.
We have sorted out several positions that have been invited in the past six months and have lower passing standards than those in China, or only invite overseas positions for your reference:
Only invite overseas : air conditioning and mechanical service plumbers, gas engineers, aerospace engineers, agricultural scientists, architects, biochemists, botanists, engineering technicians, veterinarians
65 points passing points : Actuaries, audiologists, bricklayers, cabinet manufacturers, carpenters, joinery , cooks, early childhood education managers, chiropractors, civil engineering draftsmen , civil engineering technicians, construction project managers, early childhood (preschool) teachers, economists, electrical engineering draftsmen, electrical engineering technicians, electricians (general
It is better to apply abroad than at home: Art manager, lawyer , Dancer or Choreographer, Registered Nurse (Pediatrics)
If you are a professional in these fields, you can try to apply for Australia's skilled immigrants after passing the local occupation assessment certification in Australia.
Chinese popular professional
score reduction invitation!
In addition to preschool education, social work, university lecturer In addition to being admitted with low scores for scarce positions such as , in the list released in December, the scores for popular majors applied by Chinese international students also dropped!
Accounting and IT applicants usually had to score 90 to 100 or above before being invited. This time, applicants with a minimum score of 85 were invited.
Accounting This time, domestic and foreign invitations are all 85 points.
Development programmer is also 85. 5 points
Computer network and system engineer 85 points
ICT security expert 85 points
ICT business analyst 85 points
Software engineer 85 points
The occupations invited this time can score up to 10 Only one scored 0 points, and the others were all around 85 or 90 points.
However, compared to the positions invited with 65 points, these popular candidates will be more inclined to candidates who are good at , English, have Australian work experience or studied in Australia. Because the extra 20 points are mainly added from relevant Australian experience.
Our colleagues who are deeply involved in Australian immigration commented on this situation: It is well deserved.
2020 and 21 The waiting was too painful. Now that they have let go, some people finally "got through", while others were upset that the opportunity had passed by.
After this wave of water release, how should we see the next application trend? Will it be locked quickly after the water is released?
Based on our past experience, the bonus period is still there. If you can apply, please apply as soon as possible!
why
Australia Sudden robbery?
Australia’s wave of 189 independent technical visas was suddenly released. Looking back now, there are traces to follow.
First of all, in the past 2020 and 2021, there were too few people for approval. The total number of 189 visas in two years is less than 5,000, which is definitely adding insult to injury for a country like Australia with a small population growth.
There is a shortage of people in Australia right now. according to Australian Bureau of Statistics The latest data released by (ABS) shows that in the year ending June 30, 2022, Australia's population grew by only 1.1%, of which immigrants contributed more than half.
The natural growth of the population is declining significantly. Australia registered 306,500 births and deaths throughout the year 182,100 people, which means a natural increase of 124,400 people, a decrease of 10.8% compared with the previous year. The decline was primarily driven by an increase in deaths.
At the same time, new immigrants increased exponentially. In the year to June 30, Australia's net migration reached 171,000, a strong return from last year's negative numbers. This is due to overseas migration The number of residents increased significantly (170.5%), while the number of departures decreased slightly.
As you can see from the picture above, in the two years since the outbreak of the epidemic, the number of overseas net immigrants has dropped sharply. Firstly, overseas entry policies have been tightened. Secondly, the number of visas granted is small and the immigration department has insufficient manpower. These are all problems.
So after the epidemic was basically brought under control, Australia began to absorb overseas manpower.
This time, it is easier to apply overseas than domestically because they believe that people from abroad can be counted as population growth, while those from within the country can only be counted as "stock."
Currently, 1/4 of the jobs in Australia are provided by immigrants. According to the latest data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, immigrants accounted for 26.3% of all jobs in Australia in 2019-20 (5.3 million jobs, of which 3.6 million were for immigrants). In contrast, only 17% of workers in the United States were foreigners.
There is no doubt that Australia is in great need of immigrant labor.
Australia also generously gives Australian status to foreigners working locally. According to statistics, 656.6% of foreigners working in Australia are permanent residents, and more than half of them are permanent residents. Among countries with large immigration, this number is probably the only one in Canada that can reach such a proportion.
takes a closer look at revenue. In 2019-20, the total personal income of nearly 4 million immigrant taxpayers exceeded US$230 billion, and the median personal income was 45,351 Australian dollars (approximately 215,000 RMB), which is definitely a good level compared with China.
Below is the median income of immigrants in each state. You can see that the highest income is in the Australian Capital Territory, reaching 52,400 Australian dollars.
has been at a standstill for 2 and a half years. Australia is in urgent need of immigrants to fill the manpower gap. So if you have plans to immigrate to Australia, and you have a skill and try hard to take the English test, I believe you will definitely have a chance.
Australia is ushering in a new wave of "big releases". If you have plans to immigrate to Australia, get ready now!
