189/190 actual visa grant waiting times! Over 3,000 people still waiting for a visa under NSW 190! The industries with the most approved critical-skills border entry exemptions!

In terms of current visa processing speed, state-nominated categories managed by state governments are relatively fast — for example, the group of students who received NSW pre-invitations two weeks ago have, from last weekend through this week, received their formal nominations after submitting their complete documents, and the next step is lodging the visa application. Right now, apart from engineering/ICT/accounting plus PMSOL pandemic-era critical-skills occupations, most applications are stuck at the Department of Home Affairs' visa processing stage.

A “flexible either way” migration major — multiple pathways to PR, or a well-paid career back home! No relevant background needed, and language shortfalls can be fixed too!

In this era of frequently changing Australian migration policy, a "flexible either way" study-abroad major (letting you work back home AND migrate) has become the must-have first choice for people completing their qualification in Australia.

A Letter to You, Caught in an Impossible Bind on the Migration Journey.

Even before the pandemic, things were getting harder and harder. Picture someone adrift at sea, struggling to reach the shore — the difficulty back then was like a levee being built higher bit by bit. You kept swimming ahead, kept climbing, and even though you had to absorb blow after blow from that rising wall, at least you could see a direction, a target.

Have a Trade Skill and Land a Job Easily — Australia’s High-Hourly-Rate Shortage Occupation! Multiple Migration Pathways, Low Competition — We Recommend This Under-the-Radar but Excellent Field!

When it comes to working and studying part-time in Australia, we believe what students care about most is how to get this internationally recognised Australian qualification for the least amount of money, while also picking up a trade skill that makes it easy to find work. Many students assume they need to spend at least tens of thousands of dollars a year on tuition just to get a diploma in Australia, then go on to find a good job and migrate. If that's still what you think, you couldn't be more wrong — Australia has plenty of course options, and as long as you're keen to study in Australia, the door is always open for you. Today we've got a little treat for our readers: an introduction to this under-the-radar but very promising field — Australia's Carpentry program.

PY Validity Is Only Three Years, Not Four — Let’s Prove It Using the Migration Act

A misconception has long circulated that the PY validity period runs for four years from the date the certificate is issued.

Legally speaking, the PY validity period actually runs for four years from the start date of the PY (since a PY generally takes 10 months to complete, in practice the PY validity period works out to roughly 3 years and 2 months from graduation), and this is by no means nonsense. Today, I'll use the Migration Act to prove it. I'm confident that once you've read this, you'll agree with me.
