Employer Sponsorship Good News! 200+ Occupations Including Marketing Specialist / Graphic Designer / Cook Now Have a More Direct Path to PR — Student Visa / 485 Holders May Also Qualify

On 17 March, the Department of Home Affairs released a new employer-sponsorship policy, delivering on an earlier commitment. In short, applicants whose occupation sits on the short-term list are now given a pathway to apply for the 186 TRT (PR) stream. Certain 457 visa holders who do not satisfy the transitional arrangements can also apply via 186 TRT.

Another Australian Work Visa Option! No Need to Worry → Soaring Points, Sudden Policy Changes, Unpredictable Invitations! If You Have a Job, You Have an Opportunity — Most Occupations Can Lead to PR!

When people mention Australian work visas, the first ones that come to mind are usually the 485 graduate work visa and the Working Holiday Visa. There is, however, another common and convenient work visa that often gets overlooked — the visa category we are introducing in today’s article: the lowest-threshold employer-sponsored work visa, the subclass 482.

Thinking of working and studying part-time in Australia? Lodge onshore to gain AAT appeal rights and other benefits — even a “troubled history” can be saved!

Australia reopened its borders on 15 December, and many work-and-study students are already planning their trip, with some having already arrived. The Australian Prime Minister and the states of NSW and Victoria — which have stronger economies and larger populations — have repeatedly stressed the need to adapt to living with the virus and to maintain an open policy, with no intention of returning to lockdowns.

NSW, Victoria and the ACT have now scrapped the 72-hour home-quarantine requirement for overseas arrivals. The current rules require a test within 24 hours of arrival that returns a negative result, and another test on day six after arrival that also returns a negative result.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said this week that if adjustments genuinely need to be made, the government will act, but it will not reconsider reimposing mandatory mask mandates or restrictions on large gatherings — people must now take responsibility for themselves.

Seamlessly transition to State Nomination / Employer-Sponsored PR! Hundreds of occupations across Accounting / Engineering / IT / Marketing — full-time work, no skills assessment required!

Over the past two years, with the continued downturn in skilled migration, more and more skilled migration applicants have had to choose onshore visa renewals in Australia to buy more time while waiting for an invitation. Others choose to accumulate further work experience to apply for an employer-sponsored visa, taking a longer route to PR. While this approach extends the migration timeline, it has to be acknowledged that it is the most effective way of dealing with the current landscape — even if you can’t reach the destination in a single step, you are making steady, step-by-step progress.

Accounting / IT / Chef: faster and more consistent approvals — now invitations for both onshore and offshore applicants! Skip the state-nomination / 189 race and seize this golden window!

As 189 and 190 invitations become increasingly competitive, does a migration pathway that doesn’t require a points score, doesn’t require an IELTS 8, and doesn’t involve queuing sound like a daydream? In fact, such a pathway has always existed — employer sponsorship.

Visa Refused or Cancelled? Act Quickly — an AAT Appeal May Give You Another Chance

For international students in Australia, apart from their studies, the issue they care about most is their visa. While study must come first, living far from home on one’s own is never easy. Many students do not fully understand visa requirements, which leads to frequent problems with their student visas. Added to this, some unprofessional agents provide incorrect advice or behave irresponsibly, and as a result student visas can end up being cancelled or refused at the time of an onshore renewal.

Does a refusal mean the end of your time in Australia? Not necessarily. After a refusal, many people first consider lodging an appeal through the AAT (Administrative Appeals Tribunal), seeking to overturn the Department of Home Affairs’ refusal decision.

The 2020-2021 financial year is drawing to a close, and many applicants both inside and outside Australia are still struggling for their PR. The quotas for the new financial year are not much different from this year’s, and while skilled migration applicants are hoping for improvement in the next financial year, realistically, we cannot expect dramatic changes. The GTI assessment standards have also become increasingly strict, with unused quota to spare.
