12 Visa Options Under General Skilled Migration Program 9

13 4.1. Introduction to Australia Skilled Migration Program The Australian General Skilled Migration Program (GSM) has been implemented through a partnership between the Australian government and the industry. The motive is to facilitate those professionals who have skills in a particular occupation required in Australia. The applications through the General Skilled Migration program can be independent or sponsored by a relative or nominated by an Australian State or territory government. The introduction of the SkillSelect Program since July 1 st, 2012 has led to major changes in the Australian Skilled Migration Program. SkillSelect SkillSelect changed the way prospective visa holders seek to migrate to Australia. Instead of applying for a visa, people submit an online Expression of Interest (EOI). The expression of interest (EOI) includes information on the applicant s personal details, English language skills, occupation and skills assessment, work or business and investment experience. An Expression of interest is not a visa application. In case, the applicant qualifies the EOI, he/she may be invited to submit an Australian Visa application. If such an invitation is received, then the applicant can submit a visa application along with the required documents within 60 days, or the invitation might be revoked. To prepare an application for the point based skilled migration to Australia, the following requirements need to be met: Invitation to apply: You can only apply for a visa if you have been invited to do so by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship following your qualifying the Expression of Interest. You can to lodge your application no later than 60 days after you receive your invitation, or the invitation will Automatically lapse, and there is no guarantee that you will be issued an invitation in the future. Age: You must be under the age of 45. English language: The minimum requirement is competent English (IELTS score of 6 in each section). This needs to be furnished before submitting an EOI. Nominated occupation: When you lodge your application, you nominate an occupation that corresponds to your qualifications. The nominated occupation must be listed on Australia s Skilled Occupation List. You must provide details of a Skills Assessment analogous to your nominated occupation in your EOI. 10

14 Your EOI is then ranked and points are awarded based on the claims you make about your skills, experience, and attributes. If you receive an invitation, your visa application will be assessed against the point system. In order to obtain an Australian visa, you need to achieve the pass marks, currently set at 65 points, but are subject to change according to the Australian labor market needs. Skill Assessment: Before you can submit your EOI, you must have your skills assessed corresponding to your occupation by an assessing authority. The criteria for skills assessment varies according to the occupation you have nominated. In most cases, the skills assessment will be based on the applicant s qualifications and work experience, though in some cases, English language proficiency and formal examinations are also required. 11
