SkillSelect from 1 July 2012

The new change is here.
Change is always part of the migration law, that is one thing that I love about. It needs to keep up the current situation around the world.

As mentioned in my earlier blog that from 1 July 2012 (yesterday), there are a few Skilled Migrant subclasses to be abolished. Here is our new baby; "SkillSelect".

SkillSelect allowed the applicants to put in their profile online (Expression Of Interest; EOI), then the department will check if the skills and qualification match the needs for Australia. If the department find that the applicants have skills, work experience or qualification that will benefit to Australia, only then the department to make an offer "an invitation to apply". Only after the applicant have received an "invitation to apply", then the applicants can lodge their visa application; Skilled Migrant.

EOI is FREE at the moment.

The department will keep the SkillSelect profile of the applicants for 2 years.
During these 2 years, the applicants can update their profile at anytime. That is to boost the chances of getting an "invitation to apply" from the department.

Interesting new change indeed... :)
