2006年7月1日普通技术移民(GSM)政策更改

澳大利亚移民局于6.30日晚10点开始更新其网站，我们及时研究，并没有发现重大的改动，普通技术移民PASS分依然是120分，打分方法也基本上一样，MODL紧缺专业清单也没有变化。所以我们估计大的变动还为时过早。

我们将进一步关注有关政策的调整情况！

From 1 July 2006, the Migration Regulations 1994 will be amended to adjust and enhance provisions relating to General Skilled Migration (GSM). The amendments include changes to:

- enable Bridging A and Bridging B visa holders to make a valid application for a Graduate – Skilled, or Overseas Student GSM visa, except where the bridging visa was issued in relation to an ineligible student visa;
- enable applicants who had a visa cancellation set aside by the MRT to apply for a SIR or Overseas Student GSM visa;
- remove references to the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR) and replace with a reference to the Department of Education, Science and Training;
- provide for the fee for an assessment of a person’s occupational skills or experience and educational skills by a government agency to be specified in an instrument in writing;
- clarify that for the purpose of allocating Migration Occupation in Demand List (MODL) points, the relevant MODL is the list in force at the time of application or the time of assessment, whichever is more favorable to the applicant;
- require that where an assessment that the applicant’s skills are suitable for the nominated occupation is based on an Australian qualification obtained while the applicant was a student visa holder, that qualification must have been awarded as a result of full-time study of an Overseas Student registered course;
- remove Public Interest Criteria 4009 from Subclass 461 – New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) visa.

Forms:The following forms and booklets have been updated to reflect these amendments:
47SK – Application for General Skilled Migration to Australia
Booklet 6 – General Skilled Migration
