Australia Migration Procedures

In Feb 2010, The Australian Government made a number of changes in the regulations governing the

Australian government's immigration program. The reason for the change was that the erstwhile

regulations attracted more cooks and hairdressers to the country rather than engineers and doctors.

The Australia Immigration Authority desired to change this kthe CSL (Critical Skills List) and replaced

it with a new SOL (Skilled Occupations List). The new SOL went in force from July 1, 2010 and would

be used for screening every Australian PR application.

The new SOL, which makes migration to Australia more stringent, is based on the occupation

classification system called as the ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of 

Occupations) which replaced the earlier ASCO (Australian Standard Classification of Occupations).

The ANZSCO takes into account the current needs of the Australian Labour Market.

For Singaporeans wanting to move to Australia, some of the new rules will affect their Australia

migration application.

-> The eligible bonus points as per the old MODL will not be

considered in Australian visa application.

-> Skill in the English language will get more importance in the

Australia visa application process

-> Migrating to Australia will be more

challenging for some skill sets because there will be a cap on the

number of immigrants in certain jobs. These include specifically visa

to Australia made before September 2007.

-> Visa for Australia will be easier to get for applicants with job

offers than for applicants having merely good qualifications or those

who are students.

 

If you need assistance with Employer Sponsored Visa to Australia,   you may contact a migration

agency who will assist you in migration procedures.. For those Singaporeans who are not capable to

meet the criteria set forward in the new regulations, there are different ways to apply for Australia

migration visa.

1. Employer Sponsored Visa: A temporary or permanent visa can be applied for under the

Employer Nomination Scheme. The employer sponsored lines of work include more jobs than the

SOL in the Australia Skill Migration Program.

2. Regional Immigration to Australia: Under the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, low

population growth areas of Australia can sponsor foreign nationals for Australia PR application.

3. State or Territory Nomination: These nominations include more job categories than in the

SOL. Those who are eligible for State or Territory nomination can send their Australia Immigration

application under this scheme.

A good Australia immigration consultant can help to identify the exact scheme under which a

Singapore national can apply for Australia PR visa.
