Changes to SA List of Occupations for Provisional Sponsorships

The General Skilled Migration section of Immigration SA has advised of the following changes.

Immigration SA has amended the List of Occupations for Provisional Sponsorships. Planning levels have been attached to all occupations on both Lists. Once the planning levels have been reached they are removed from the respective list/s.

However, Immigration SA has decided not to remove the following occupations even though they have reached their planning levels in order to continue to provide the opportunity to nominate under these occupations until the new lists are finalised. However, in order that the labour market is not saturated with potential applicants seeking employment in these areas, Immigration SA has imposed a job offer criteria to the occupations:

• Intelligence Officer
• Librarian
• Office manager
• Recreation officer

Immigration SA will assure that any sponsorship application submitted up to Thursday 17 September under these occupations will be honoured provided that all the supporting documents are received before the 60 day period.

The 2009/2010 Permanent and Provisional Lists are being revised.
