澳洲最新移民政策改变：

　　从2009年1月1号开始， 以下移民优先处理：

　　1. 州政府担保

　　2. 你的职业在 CSL 上面.

　　3. 雇主担保

　　4. 读Accounting 的雅思 考到 4 个 7 or 读了一个1年的 professional year的

　　Priority processing

　　Emp! loyer-sponsored permanent migration

　　Employer-sponsored permanent migration applications will be fast-tracked. In his press release, the Minister said that "this could see employer sponsored visas occupying an increasing share of the skilled program, with 36,000 visas likely in the current year"

　　General Skilled Migration

　　For General Skilled Migration applications (both onshore and offshore), priority processing will be given to those who:

　　•1. have State or Territory sponsorship; or

　　•2. have a nominated occupation in the new "Critical Skills List (CSL)". This list focuses on medical and key IT professionals, engineers and construction trades.

　　In a document entitled "2008-09 Migration Program Changes Frequently asked questions" it states in Question 8 that "Occupations that are not included in the CSL will not be given priority processing unless the applicants have a job offer or are sponsored or nominated by a state or territory government." It is not clear if this mention of a job offer is only for employer nominated applications or also for General Skilled Migration applications.

　　Prospective applicants for State or Territory sponsorship should contact States or Territories to enquire about sponsorship for people who have a nominated occupation on their state skills shortage list. Please note that DIAC is allowing States and Territories to sponsor up to 500 people a year who do not have occupations on their state list. Check with states and territories about this.

　　Accountants are on the Critical Skills List, but the list specifies that (for the purposes of the CSL) the applicant must have achieved a score of at le! ast 7 in each band of the IELTS test and/or has completed the Professional Year in accounting who nominate "Accountant"

　　These changes will not affect the eligibility of applicants who are currently eligible to apply for General Skilled Migration now to be eligible after 1 January 2009. However they will not be given processing priority. There are no changes to the points awarded for MODL.

　　1 Australian Government

　　Department of Immigration and Citizenship

　　Critical Skills List

　　The following provides a list of occupations. This list will only apply to people who are seeking to migrate under the skilled migration program who are not sponsored by an employer or nominated by a state or territory government.
