It was recently announced that onshore applicants will be given priority over offshore and also other visa categories too.. GSM category is down for the current Australian financial year. This is in response to the pandemic as they need to focus on strengthening their economy. Hence, it’s unlikely to get an invite for this financial year....but this is for sure temporary. As the economy recovers, it is likely migration places will increase again. For now, best to focus on strengthening your case, making sure all your docs are compliant and lodge your EOI as early as possible so when all these restrictions are lifted, your EOI is already in place ready for an invite. This setback shouldn’t stop...just carry on but be more strategic.
