Guide to Vocational Assessment of Skilled Migrants in Australia

1. Guide to Career Assessment of Skilled Migrants in Australia

First, the definition of occupational assessment

1. Career assessment is a necessary process for skilled immigrants 189, 190, 489/49 1 visa applications.

2. The validity period of vocational assessment results has different interpretations in different vocational assessment institutions. The maximum validity period stipulated by the Immigration Bureau is three years. If the validity period stipulated by the vocational assessment institution is shorter than three years, it shall be calculated according to the validity period of the vocational assessment institution. Among them, the results of vocational assessment for 485 graduate visa cannot be used for the application of skilled immigrants.

3. Doctors and lawyers have high and strict professional evaluation requirements, and they need to meet the requirements stipulated by the Immigration Bureau before they can be used for immigration applications.

Second, career evaluation and language.

Is it necessary to submit language scores (such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, etc.) when applying for career assessment? ) and the corresponding language performance requirements will generally be explained in the official guide of the vocational assessment agency.

Common vocational assessment institutions, such as ACS (Computer Vocational Assessment), AIM (Executive Vocational Assessment), TRA (Technician Vocational Assessment), VET, etc. No language scores are required when applying for career assessment; For those who need to provide language scores, the common job evaluation agencies are EA (Engineer Professional Evaluation), CPAA (Accounting Evaluation) and AIQS (Quantity Surveyor Evaluation).

In short, regardless of whether language scores are needed in the job evaluation stage, language tests and preparation of job evaluation application materials can be carried out simultaneously. After all, time is crucial for immigrants, and it is always right to make preparations early.

Third, vocational evaluation and academic certification.

Skilled immigrants in Australia do not require applicants to do academic certification, but academic certification or recognition will generally be included in the vocational assessment. For example, in the VET vocational assessment, applicants for education in China should be certified by education in China.

Career evaluation is generally based on the applicant's education and work experience, so the evaluation results generally refer to the applicant's education. However, for applicants with doctoral degrees, some vocational assessment agencies need to charge additional application fees for doctoral degree certification, such as EA (Engineer Vocational Assessment).

Four. Occupational evaluation and certification of working years

Generally speaking, the standard assessment service of vocational assessment agencies is to assess whether applicants meet the requirements of nominated occupations and whether they can apply for immigration with nominated occupations. However, which years of work experience of the applicant can be counted as related to the nominated occupation (in other words, which years of work experience can be used for immigration bonus points), which may be an additional service of the vocational evaluation agency.

Common ACS (Computer Career Assessment), VET, AIM (Executive Career Assessment), etc. Outline what work experience can be considered relevant to the nominated occupation. For EA (professional assessment of engineers), CPAA (professional assessment of accountants), etc. Work experience proves to be an extra service, and additional work proof materials will be needed.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) career evaluation and national guarantee and visa application

Career assessment is the first step of the whole application for skilled immigrants, so you need to hold a qualified career assessment letter before applying for a state guarantee/visa.

Many applicants are always hesitant about career evaluation, fearing that they will fail the language test and whether there are suitable state insurance opportunities. In fact, it's better to do career assessment early than late. No matter what kind of job evaluation, the cycle is at least 2 months, but the state guarantees that it takes less than half a day from opening to closing, so it is often too late to prepare for the job evaluation when the opportunity comes.

2. Australia 188A Business Immigration Conditions

188A business investment immigrant visa is currently the project with the largest number of applicants in Australia's investment immigration program, so the number of applicants in Australia's investment immigration category is also very large.

1. Age requirements: the principal applicant is under 55 years old and the accompanying children are under 23 years old;

2. Business background: In at least two of the past four fiscal years, the shareholding ratio of enterprises is more than 30%/ listed company 10%, and the annual turnover is more than 500,000 Australian dollars;

3. Family assets: the net assets under the name of the principal applicant or husband and wife are at least 800,000 Australian dollars (including bank deposits, real estate, stock bonds and other wealth management products and company assets);

4. Get the invitation letter of "Intention Application", with 65 points or above;

5, must obtain the guarantee of the state or territory government. Note: It is suggested that the main enterprise should make profits in the second fiscal year of the audit year, that is, the company should make profits in the second fiscal year of two fiscal years with extra turnover.

3. Introduction to remote areas in Australia

In the past, remote areas could be given 10, but now, in response to the call to go to the countryside, it is given 15. The purpose is obvious, that is, to let everyone study in remote areas.

The most important part is the restriction of remote areas, because this remote area is so wide: except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth, all other areas belong to remote areas.

What does this mean, Wollongong and Newcastle next to Sydney; Geelong next to Melbourne, areas near other capital cities, and even Canberra, the capital of Australia, are remote areas.

It is estimated that the new immigrant list will be revised, focusing on the list of occupations in remote areas of 49 1 and 494. For remote areas, jobs will increase and demand will decrease.

In addition, national security 190 will be more open. I believe that each state will make and change the immigration list according to its own situation.

However, for 189 general skilled immigrants, it is unlikely that the estimated score will decrease.
