Requirements
The Australian immigration program has opportunities for people with a variety of backgrounds, ages, qualifications and needs. Choose the route to Australia that best reflects your circumstances and goals:
→ There is a strong emphasis in the Australian immigration program on attracting people who can contribute to the economy. If you are under 45, speak at least vocational level English, and have qualifications in one of the numerous priority professions and trades, you may be eligible under the Skilled Migration Program;
→ Australian permanent residence can be gained if you are willing to live in a particular region of Australia;
→ Provisions are made for people ready to invest in Australia or who have certain business skills; ◦ Improve your proficiency in English and obtain qualifications from Australia’s world class tertiary institutions through the Student Visa Program;
→ Working Holiday Visas allow young people from a number of participating countries to support themselves while having the time of their lives Down Under.
*Australia also accepts migrants with relatives already in the country under the Family Stream Migration program, and welcomes refugees under the Humanitarian Program.
The qualifying ‘Passmark’ momentarily is 65 (60 with EOI), The minister for Australian citizenship and immigration has the authority to amend the passmark from time to time in order to reflect changes in the Australian Labour Market and in the broader economy and society as well as changing demands on the part of prospective immigrants to Australia after which you may not qualify, hence you may have to shelve your dreams of immigrating to Australia for a lifetime, should the rules change.
Given the urgency of applying without further delay, it would be prudent to let us submit your application as early as possible. Failing to do so, you may be disqualified like many future applicants, who ignore the prevailing flexibility in the process, with a passmark of 65 (60 with EOI) and a generous occupation list, which compliments the present system. Most importantly, if you are concerned about leaving your present job after the visas are issued to you, it is beneficial to be appraised of the option available to you, should you wish to delay your departure from the place of your present employment.
