Aim for 20 in English, if you get that, then you can get ITA in a week. However, 65 is still very good for Civil engineers. You will most likely have state nomination from NSW on 190.

Australia Immigration News | Latest News on Australia Immigration | www.a2zimmi.com Your One Stop Immigration Gateway

After an extremely long period of time, A highly positive news from Australia has arrived today with the statement of Mathias Cormann, the Finance Minister of Australia, that has put a full stop on the rumors about the decrease in ceiling in next financial year 2018-2019.

On Friday 4th May 2018, the finance minister, Mathias Cormann, said that the government had no plans to change the permanent migration figure of 190,000 people a year with the exact statement as "We have made it very clear we’re not proposing to reduce that 190,000 number but it is a ceiling, it’s not a target.”

This Statement came after the opposition of any plan to reduce the immigration levels, promoting a migration compact to keep permanent immigration at its current level of about 190,000 a year by the business groups and Australia's union movement.

The Australian Council of Trade Unions, The Australian Industry Group and a suite of national peak bodies have declared that they jointly “affirm that Australia’s permanent migration program is essential to Australian society and economy and do not support any reduction to the scheme”.

From 2013 onwards every year Australia has a yearly PR intake of about 190,000. Other than this a quota of 16250 is taken under humanitarian program.

The whole discussion regarding the reduction in migrants count was started in the beginning of this year when the former prime minister Tony Abbott appealed for the new annual target for immigration count to be 110000 instead of 190000, and the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, raised the concern of having a cut in immigration count by 20000. The given reason to decrease this count was the extra pressure on infrastructural requirements on the major cities of Australia and failure to groom the same at the same pace, by the increase in population density due to migration.

In the last decade the visas issued always remained close to the given target as a ceiling in each financial year. Last year it was about 183608 out of 190000 and the discrepancy of 6392 was the highest of the decade which was around 1600 collectively for all the previous nine years.

From November 2017, onwards there was a big slowdown in the Invitations Count and it remained consistently at 300 for 189 Skilled Independent Visa sub category. The scenario for other two streams 190 and 489 (State Nominated Programs and Regional Provisional Visa Sub Class) even remained worse as only five Invitations under 489 category and around 1000 for all the eight states were given under 190 sub class. These three visa streams are the main Skilled Immigration categories through which, almost 60 percent of the whole migration requirement is fulfilled.

So this will make the 2017-2018 to be the year with the highest discrepancy ever in the last twelve years, which makes this year as a dead year as far as the Australian Immigration for Skilled Workers is concerned. Right now, only two months before the Australian fiscal year closure the required ceiling is unfilled by a huge percentage of more than 50 percent in most of the profiles so it comes as a big failure of all time in the whole migration mechanism of Australia.

As these Skilled Immigration streams are totally point based and due to decrease in invitations in each draw the point cutoff is touching the sky with a requirement of 80 points for most of the profiles. From the last few months there was a big silence from the officials of home affairs as well as associated government bodies of Australia, that was creating a feel of fear and panic in the applicants across the globe. So hopefully along with this news, in the coming draws we will also see a rapid increase in the count of invitations and eventually a trail trend in the points requirement.

I hope this could bring a glimpse of smile on the faces of all my dear friends, those who keep on asking regarding their chances of getting Visas under current competitive circumstances. We at www.a2zimmi.com urge them and all immigration aspirants to be positive and proactive as Australia actually needs the deserving ones to be there on skilled migration Visas. Brain Drain through skilled migration is the best mantra followed by Australia as well as Canada for talent acquisition from the developing nations to fulfill their human resource requirements at almost no cost for preparing such talented resources and also compliments the needs of the migrants.

So I am Closing it here and will come up again soon with more updates and announcements regarding the Australian Immigration.

As the others have pointed out. As far as ACS is concerned Certifications will have no bearing on your nomination. I initially did MCSE because my Bsc. is not computer related. I wasted time going for the certification and it eventually cost me a lot.

Even if you studied something else you can get a positive outcome from ACS and in your own case you studied computer science.

The alternative of going through EA need to be verified properly for someone who did not study engineering but with 5 years experience.

Civil Engineer.
my point stands at 55 today...hv booked for Pte to add another 10 to it ..
hoping to get state nomination

jayooh:

Fill your EOI ASAP and select New South Wales for nomination. Someone got nominated in civil engineering with same 55 points in about 3 weeks not so long ago.

Best of luck. You stand a good and easy chance with NSW.

Michaelamo:



You can fill it all, however, you need to tick not claiming points for it. Or that it is not relevant to your nominated occupation. If you do that, it won't add any point to it.

Cecegal:
Congrats on your positive assessment.

You can fill all your work experience you will see a question is this relevant to your nominated occupation say NO

I thank every individual on this thread for their contributions in making this thread a very active one.

I appreciate specially @Bellong who with other information think tanks on the subject matter have been making dreams of their fellows compatriots come to reality. Your contributions to helping us all through the information provided on this platform is immeasurable. I thank you. I'm new to this thread.

I was introduced here by a brother from another mother who was successful on this quest sometimes in 2017.

I had my degree in Mathematical Sciences (Computer Science Option). I have 9 years work experience, 2 years and about 6 months as a system analyst, the rest as a Banker in various roles. Firstly, for a period of six months, i was a Payment & Policy Oversight Officer. I was responsible for investigating customers’ ATM complaints and making recommendations on investigation outcomes, conducting compliance monitoring on payments system operators, and Liaising with the payments systems operators for reports on their activities.

Secondly, I was an investment officer for another 3 years and was responsible for providing first level contact to stakeholder’s issues on discount window operations, helping stakeholders through on the daily over-the-counter (OTC) trading in fixed income securities, Carring out reconciliation for over-the-counter (OTC) trading of fixed income securities, bidding on behalf of customers during fixed income securities auctions, Re-discounting investment on behalf internal and mandate customers on request, and Providing creative alternatives and recommendations to improve operational efficiency.

But since September 2015 I was assigned additional responsibilities, which made my role similar to that of a system administrator though i still carry out some of the functions of an investment officer but with the following responsibilities starting and closing the business day on the RTGS and S4 applications; Processing of the net clearing sessions files; relating with relevant stakeholders in ensuring the smooth running of the clearing session’s files; resolution of transactions gridlocks; providing first level contact to stakeholder’s issues on RTGS and S4; Driving process improvement and policy development initiatives that enhance RTGS and S4 operations; and Monitoring system performance and troubleshooting issues.

I'm so confused that i can't evaluate under what skilled occupation I should be assessed. Please i need help. Thanks

ejimjesus:
@bellong,mamajaz,spyroxy1,alphador, and gurus in the house .......Please my assessment result is not out yet. Please when do I open immi account and expression of interest? Must I wait for the assessment to be out?

Secondly, when is my spouse English result as well as our marriage certificate needed?

bbtundey:
[b][/b]

If i get you right, do you mean i might get a negative response from EA since i don't have a degree in Engineering? Yes, but I dont know if anyone have tried that before. So, you might want to try it or comb the web for a similar scenario. Because in this case computer science and your job experience are actually very related.

Re Cap: I have a BSc in Computer Science with 5yrs+ working experience as a field transmission engineer which aligns with Telecom field engineer (313212)

pls advice, does my profile align with 263111 without work experience or 313212 with work experience

I don't want to mix this up pls

trastar:


I'd say Check ACS website, look at all the occupations and pick the one that's closely related to the IT related functions you have done/currently do in the Bank..
Write your assessment reference letter to closely match the one you chose.
I know for people who work in the Bank, you most likely have to draft your own letter as HR can't be very certain of your daily activities.
Let your reference letter concentrate more on the IT related functions than the banking related ones.

Azy123:


In comparism, EA occupations , generally speaking, are less competitive.

IF you can get a positive assessment with computer science degree and experience from EA, it is actually a better and faster route to ITA. Otherwise get your 20 points in english first to give you a chance at getting ITA and assess with ACS.

JapD:
Veterans in the house, I hail you all.

I am a Mechanical Engineer with 65 points (10 pts from English + age + work experience). I am considering 190 with NSW and Victoria (as I want to submit EOI before the new year) but the POF no be here o.

I need your guidance please.

1. What are my chances of 189 and 190? Although I plan to get max points from English.

2. Can I use Pension, sharrs and properties as POF? If yes, how?

3. How do I nominate a state without being visible to the states (I wish to select multiple states without being seen)

Thanks in advance.

Michaelamo:


You can open immi account at any time. But no use for it till after ITA. Same goes for your EOI. You can open the account, but filling it would be difficult, because there are some inputs you need to make concerning skill assessment there.

Your spouse English and your marriage certificate is needed when you want to lodge your visa after ITA.





EA occupation are less competitive generally? Lolz. E dey red for everywhere now o. . However, I don't think there is an "If" on this case for EA. ACS is his best bet. No Engineering degree, hide your face for EA o.

stepo707:


You mean spouse also have to either write IELTS or pte exam? What if you don't want to claim points for spouse but just have marriage certificate?
