Weekly Migration News Summary Migration Weekly I. Victoria Issues Yet Another Round — Reminiscent of Last Financial Year? II. WA …
It’s Friday again, and it’s time to showcase this week’s visa grants and skills assessments!
As is widely known, Australia allows you to apply without providing English test scores upfront. That is, you do not need to submit IELTS/PTE scores when applying. Once you receive a conditional offer, it will specify the English score required. You then submit a qualifying score to convert it into an unconditional offer.
After a month-long delay, New South Wales has finally issued the first round of Subclass 190 invitations for the 2023–24 financial year — the last state to do so. After much anticipation, the NSW Subclass 190 invitations have arrived at last!
In China, being a teacher involves significant pressure — lesson preparation, a packed weekly schedule, research projects, and journal publications. In Australia, teaching is comparatively easier, offering job stability, regular working hours from 9 am to 3 pm, four paid holidays per year, and public school teachers can enjoy superannuation contributions of up to 17%.
Victoria issued another round of invitations on 19 October, just one week since the last round. Interestingly, the state government even announced in the morning that invitations would be coming — something that never happened in the previous financial year. It seems there really is no application backlog.
As many of you know, in October last year the Department of Home Affairs waived the health examination requirement for onshore temporary visa applications.
Last week, Canberra and Western Australia both published their official reports from the latest invitation rounds.
We always say the sooner you act on migration, the better — don’t delay!
