Dears,

I had 8.5, 8, 7.5, 6 in my LRSW respectively. Do you think I have a chance with Australia immigration and how can I calculate my scores?

thanks

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.

Of course. The outcome of one does not determine progress or otherwise of the other. Albeit you need to have both to enter the EE pool

Thanks Stan, but am wondering if WES will contact my school (Uniben). based on the form I saw, it says I have to contact my school myself.

I wish you the best.

Do you all think I can get my WES started on the side while I do the EOR?

Why not try EOR especially for that writing. More often than not, there's usually am increase in score. Don't forget the target is to get at least 8777 in LRWS.

But why the much disparity in cost of EOR? I expected there processes to be standardized. It's difficult to decide now considering the cost, but don't forget that there's no guarantee of getting same or better scores on the other sections if you re-sit for the exam. You have seen you need that upgrade to even be eligible in the FSW.

Good luck as you take decision on the best route for you.

Thank you all for the response(s). I think I will apply for the EOR instead because like you said, there is no guarantee my score in other modules will be better or the same. Apparently, UAE set their own charges plus the new implementation of VAT this year. cc GlitteringStar

@Emmasoni4me had asked for a very valid reason and he asked like a Dad..lol. Your scores are excellent. However it can be better. There is an opportunity to upgrade your writing score above the current value by urgently requesting for a remark of your writing test. This is what is referred to as Enquiry on Result (EOR). I think you should quickly pursue that option since it's still within the allowed timeline so as to help increase your CRS.


I had thought of this but processing time for that states it takes about 8-10 weeks to remark and have to pay AED 400 (#40,000) for this. Do you think i should go in this direction?
