It can be seen from the latest Skill Select draw that took place just a couple of days ago, it can be witnessed that the cut off score in the coming draws are setting the threshold higher and higher. The latest draw set the minimum cut off for accountants at 80 points whereas it was 75 for ICT professionals and software engineers.
If you are an international student currently enrolled on student visa or have a bridging and/or TR visa, than you may be contemplating your odds that what can be your best options to go for PR pathway. Australia follows a strict system whereby potential migrants and applicants are invited by a series of Skill Select rounds and those professionals whose field/occupations fall under either the Medium, short term or long term skilled occupations that Australia currently needs, are invited to apply.
Australia’s Skilled Occupations List is further divided into three categories; Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and Regional Occupation List (ROL). Each of these categories has its own set of rules, allowances and limitations. Occupations marked as being included in the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) will, for instance, allow the holder to live and work in Australia for up to four years while jobs listed as Short-term Skilled Occupations (STSOL) will allow the visa holder to live and work in Australia for 2 years.
If your occupation is listed on the Medium and Long term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), you may also qualify for a Skilled Independent Visa but if it is listed as short term you must apply for skilled migration via nomination by an Australian State or Territory Government.
For the ease and convenience of our readers, we have compiled all of the occupational list to form into a consolidated one. Find below the Medium and long term occupations and see whether your occupations falls under the category, if you wish to apply for Australian PR visas including 189, 190 and 489.
