Australian Immigration Daily News

Australia has one of the best tools available online when it comes to immigration. The process of finding a job you can apply for internationally is always hard; you never know whether the companies will be interested in sponsoring your immigration or not. It was problematic for the companies as well because it was hard to judge how many people were interested in immigrating to Australia to fulfil a position.

The Australian government launched SkillSelect to make the process easier and we would highly encourage people to use the tool. The tool can be thought of as the meeting place for skilled workers willing to move 

Registering with SkillSelect

The first thing you need to do is go to SkillSelect and register yourself. Please note that registering on SkillSelect itself is not a part of the visa process; you are not applying for a visa, simply showing that you are willing to move to Australia. You will still need to work with a Registered Migration Agent if you want to start the immigration process. When you come to SkillSelect you will be asked to provide some data about yourself. You will need to submit an EoI (expression of interest).

Expression of Interest 

In the EoI you must outline data about yourself, your academics and professional qualifications, current job, as well as why you want to move to Australia. It is also very important to be fluent in English; if you cannot speak English then you will not be able to assimilate yourself easily in an Australian workplace.

Types of Visas Available to Applicants

Once you have submitted an Expression of Interest, there are five classes of Visas you can apply for:

• Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
• Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188)
• Skilled - Nominated visa (subclass 190)
• Business Talent (Permanent) visa (subclass 132)
• Skilled - Nominated or Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)

However, if your skills manage to attract an Australian employer then further avenues will open up for you. You will then also be able to apply for the following visas:

•  
• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa (subclass 187)
• Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)
• Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)

If things go well for you on SkillSelect, you will be able to find an employer willing to sponsor your move. This is absolutely the best way to immigrate to Australia as you do not need many funds and approval rates are also very high. However, remember that you will still need a Registered Migration Officer to help you out. You will still need to submit the relevant documents as well as ensure that you do not violate any of the rules related to immigration.

Registered Migration Officers know all the ins and outs of the immigration process so you will not face many issues in this area. So go to SkillSelect now, submit an Expression of Interest, and maybe an Australian employer will contact you.
