This is good news for Actual PR holders, will clean up the market. PR holders will have a better chance of securing employment then compete with 457.
Those who intend to apply for pr 189/190 please hurry, i suspect there will be significant tightening of this soon. |

QUOTE(jianh @ Apr 21 2017, 10:35 AM) That's what I heard so far from agents... nothing concrete so far. I think we wait for 01 July and check back SOL. Most Likely it will. they are planning to tighten even 189/190 and its already so strict. If anybody is hesitating please hurry and apply if you qualify. Weather you choose to use or not is a different matter. Currently the quota for PR is 190 000 places. (not 190k families) they plan to cut the quota to 50 000 a year from 2017/2018. |

QUOTE(TYK @ Apr 21 2017, 10:57 AM) I don't think I will be able to make it on time. Engineers Australia assessment takes about 1 month with Fast Track option, and my IELTS test is next week, end of April. By submitting to EA for assessment after end of May only I'm able to lodge an EOI on July. Please continue until officially declared assume all is normalDamn. |

QUOTE(limeuu @ Apr 21 2017, 11:51 PM) Professions are in the list because there is a shortage of these people...That's the whole point of the sol, and independent migration... might be better for PR engineers . I know the most O&G engineers under 457. This crackdown will assist in employing the PR engineers not in the short term but eventuallyThe resources slowdown means there is a lot less demand for engineers...And the last 2-3 years, getting an engineering job is difficult...So it's the other way round...Less jobs hence on the watch list.... Being on the flag however doesn't necessarily mean removal...It just mean they reassess the demand and decide on current conditions, if a profession should be removed.... Many times in the past, flagged professions continued to remain in the list...When the statistics show shortage remains... This time round, it's likely... |

QUOTE(limeuu @ May 4 2017, 11:25 AM) prs are eligible for csp places (ie subsidised fees, about 1/3 of full fees), but cannot defer payment of fees as per hecs-help.... Under new rule this was removed a few years ago, when they realised that many prs are not paying back their deferred payment loan under hecs-help, because they never reach income threshold for payment deductions...because many never work in oz!...after graduation, many return to their own country to work....they are just making use of their pr status for subsidised education.... PR to pay full domestic rates but have access to HECS Before they pay CSP rates but no access to HECS Either way better as HECS doesnt discriminate on race , gender or anything This post has been edited by selvenz: May 4 2017, 02:33 PM |

Good news is for 2017/2018 FY they have maintained 190,000 places for PR migration.
Bad news is tightening of requirements. |

190 is always on prority, as soon as state picks you the process is very fast after that.

QUOTE(jtsl9 @ Jun 22 2017, 05:11 PM) Yup, the visa condition column will be stated as NIL. Understand your feeling, i also have many friends in Melbourne but mine is NSW state sponsor so I am heading to Sydney (also have few friends here) to try out my luck. There are no conditions. unlike regional visa where it will say must reside within certain postcode.190 or 190 when you do vevo search has no conditions accepts it says you are Australian resident. |
