How Does the Australia PR Points Calculator Evaluate Skilled Workers? |
Posted: October 28, 2020 |
Most skilled workers planning to relocate to Australia opt for one of the three General Skilled Migration (GSM) Visas. All of these visas use a point-based system to determine eligibility of candidates. Each candidate is allocated points based on the relevant selection criteria of the Australia PR points calculator, and the highest-scoring candidates are invited to apply for the visa. The selection criteria varies for each GSM visa category. It is not mandatory for candidates to score points under each parameter. Candidates simply need to attempt to claim as many points as possible under any parameter that is applicable to them. For the Australia Subclass 189: Skilled Independent Visa, the point allocation under various parameters is as follows: 1) Age – maximum 30 points 2) English language proficiency – maximum 20 points 3) Work experience (within and/or outside Australia) – maximum 20 points 4) Academic qualifications – maximum 20 points 5) Specialist educational qualification – maximum 10 points 6) Australian study requirement – maximum 5 points 7) Professional year in Australia – maximum 5 points 8) Community language credential – maximum 5 points 9) Study in regional Australia – maximum 5 points 10) Partner skills or single applicant – maximum 10 points In case of the Subclass 190 Visa Australia (Skilled Nominated Visa), the point allocation and parameters are identical to those listed above – with additional 5 points available for securing a nomination from an Australian state or territory, which is a mandatory eligibility requirement for this visa. Similarly, aspirants for the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491 Australia) are also subject to the same selection factors and point distribution, with the exception that candidates under this provisional visa can gain up to 15 points for meeting the mandatory requirement of being nominated by a state/territory or sponsored by an eligible family member living in Australia. The minimum point requirement for receiving an invitation to apply for any of these visas varies with each invitation round.
