Longer Subclass 485 Visas Are Coming — From Graduate to PR: Here Is Your Complete Pathway Guide

by

The Subclass 485 Graduate Work visa is currently one of the hottest topics in Australian migration. Not only does it provide graduates with a legal pathway to live, work, and study in Australia after completing their degree, it is also the essential stepping stone for many students who want to obtain permanent residency. Following several major policy changes, the 485 visa duration has grown progressively longer and the eligibility threshold progressively lower — a clear signal of the Australian Government’s commitment to retaining talent and growing the skilled migration programme.

Australian Study-to-Migration Programmes: Strong Employment and PR Prospects — No Prior Background or Big Budget Needed!

by

Medicine in Australia is highly competitive to get into and challenging to complete — but healthcare is one of the top migration-pathway fields of study. Nursing, in particular, is Australia’s second most popular migration-focused programme. After graduation, nurses enjoy strong employment prospects and clear pathways to permanent residency.

[Offshore] Finance, Marketing, HR, Engineering Drafting, Teaching, Insurance Broking and More — Low-Score Invitations Keep Coming. Opportunity Favours the Prepared.

by

So far this financial year, as someone who has long specialised in offshore skilled migration, two categories of occupations have genuinely surprised me. The first was the 6 October Subclass 189 invitation round, where all offshore engineering applicants were invited at just 65 points. The second is the ongoing trend over recent months of arts, commerce and business applicants receiving invitations for Subclass 491 and Subclass 190 state-nominated migration, with the majority of scores clustered at base scores of 55–75.
