The Australian Government is actively reviewing its permanent residency (PR) migration intake for the upcoming year. Sources indicate the intake will likely be capped at 185,000 places, and state nomination allocations are expected to be released shortly.
For prospective migrants aiming for Subclass 189, 190, and 491 skilled visas, this means that invitation rounds could begin very soon. If you’re planning to apply, the time to prepare is now.
A valid skills assessment is mandatory for your nominated occupation. Most assessments are valid for two to three years. If your assessment is nearing expiry, renew it immediately to avoid disqualification.
Your English language test results (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, etc.) must be current and meet the required score for your visa subclass. If your test has expired, retake it as soon as possible.
Ensure your Expression of Interest (EOI) is up to date and that all claims (points, qualifications, experience) are supported with proper evidence like degrees, payslips, reference letters, certificates, and identification documents.
Many applicants miss out on invitations because their documents are outdated or expired. Others delay updating their EOIs and lose out when state allocations are filled quickly. Don’t let that be you.
With the PR cap expected to remain around 185,000 places, competition for invitations will be intense. Applicants who are fully prepared will move ahead faster than those who wait.
These three steps are crucial to position yourself ahead in the upcoming skilled visa invitation rounds for Subclass 189, 190, and 491.
