Over the past six months or so, everyone keeps hearing [Migration floodgates are open] [Skilled migration is rebounding] [Major policy wins for international students] and so on
Social work is a hot ticket among Australia’s migration occupations, and many students want to apply for a social work major. In recent years, though, social work programmes have set ever-higher background requirements for applicants, and cross-discipline applications have become harder and harder. So are students whose undergraduate major is unrelated simply out of luck?
For every visa category, the law specifies where the applicant must be located at the moment the visa is granted (the legislation calls this the Circumstances applicable to grant). This requirement is set out in clause xxx.411 of each visa’s legislation (or in xxx.412 or 413), where xxx stands for the visa subclass code.
Applicants in highly competitive fields such as IT, engineering, building and construction, and accounting, take note! Where your circumstances allow, we recommend exploring other occupations and finding a fresh path to your green card! The 2022-2023 financial year has been full of surprises, with NSW and VIC locked in a fierce tug-of-war for talent, NSW issuing two rounds of invitations each month, and most humanities/commerce/finance/management/marketing/HR occupations being invited in droves.
Western Australia is arguably the most genuinely supportive state government for international students this financial year. To help returning students cope with rents that have risen to ridiculous levels, the WA state government has stepped in once again and is handing out cash directly!
Last Friday, WA (Western Australia) released its March-round pre-invitations, and once again WA did not disappoint. The General stream (open to interstate and overseas applicants) issued 1,900 Subclass 190 pre-invitations, with most occupations invited at an EOI score of 65 points and only a few requiring 70 points. The Graduate stream issued 600 pre-invitations
As everyone knows, Australia’s offshore migration has fully rebounded so far this financial year — the choice of pathways, the range of occupations and the breadth of invitations all far surpass recent years. With so many opportunities and good news seemingly every week, are many applicants feeling a little overwhelmed?
