Pathways to Migrate: Key Skilled Visas
Australia has defined many pathways to help immigrations into the country. The most favored pathway being Immigration Australia 189. This independent skilled immigration pathway (Subclass 189 Visa) allows the immigrants obtain their Permanent Residency (Australia PR) in Australia. As Australian PR, the immigrant gets to live, study, and work anywhere. This program requires the applicant to submit his, his spouse and his dependents to submit their application into Australia’s SkillSelect portal. The profiles in the portal will be given a score which will be used to help the profiles be graded. The points will be based on the age, education, experience, English language efficiency and adaptability of the applicant and spouse. The profile will be in the SkillSelect portal either till the time the applicant receives his Invitation to Apply (ITA) or for a maximum of 2 years. During this period, the applicant can change anything he wants to in the profile.
Subclass 491 — Skilled Work Regional (Provisional)
Another such program that invites skilled immigrants to Australia is Subclass 491 or the Regional Visa. This new Regional Visa for Australia allows all interested immigrants to relocate to regional parts of Australia. The skilled immigrants who are interested to relocate to live and work in lesser known areas of Australia, can apply under this program. While submitting their Expression of Interest (EOI) into the SkillSelect portal, the applicant will have to mention the same in the EOI. All those provinces will be less populated and will have lesser development in comparison to main areas or cities of Australia. This program again brings in Australian PR to the applicant. The successful immigrant will have to live in that area or region to which the immigrant applied for, for a stipulated period of time. The score expected for this program is 60 points against 100.
Eligibility, Points & Occupation Demand
For any of the programs, the main applicant should be between 18–45 years of age. He or she should be able to submit documents that prove their age, education, experience, adaptability and English language efficiency. The spouse profile too aids in increase in the score. It would be required that the applicant’s occupation/domain should be in Australia’s current job demand list for further processing. These are applicable for any of the Skilled Worker Visa Australia programs.
Subclass 190 — Skilled Nominated (Permanent)
Another prominent visa program to relocate to Australia is Skilled Nominated Visa program or Subclass 190 Visa program. This program is specially designed for highly qualified skilled professionals. Such professionals will get a nomination from either the state or province or from an employer local to Australia. They will need to prove the reason why such a high end professional would be required for a job there. When a skilled professional receives 190 Visa sponsorship, he will have to sign an agreement with his sponsor to work with them for a specific period of time.
