From what I've observed mas pabor talaga ang medical professions sa invites nowadays. For 189/491 family, engrs and IT professionals na pro-rata are basically ignored na. Puro N/A na ang nakalagay sa invite table na nakapost sa immi website. So this is a blessing in disguise sa medical professions.

Australia was following a migration program roadmap, sending in ~200k migrants each year to boost the economy. During the time I was processing my visa not far ago, I was looking into the annual visa allotment breakdown from DHA for years 2017 2018 2019. Pinopost nila yung current backlogs and que for EOI lodgements across each specific job codes for different visa sub classes. I had an agent pero I also did my own research to know my current position in the field. Since that was pre pandemic, the monthly invites which was around 2000 -3000 for 189 were distributed through a lot of job specializations. For some specialized field na kakaunti ang applicant 60/65 was enough to get them an invite.
Nowadays, we can't expect anything certain from the migration department. Don't lose hope, still aim for the highest points possible, be updated on the news. All the hard work is worth it once you get here. Good luck.

yeah panapanahon. I bet now medical staffs are in demand kahit san bansa kasi need ng mga frontliners. Here sa SG, kapos na rin. Most probably mga Nurses here will be favorable and easy to get a PRship sa SG ngayon and i think will be same all over the world.

I guess its just best to be document ready and lodge your EOI’s para nkapila na. Then let’s just hope and pray for the best that we all get granted our visas.

That’s correct. Our approach is always very individual. It’s not so much about the trend, it’s all about what would work for the actual applicant. Each case is very individual. Hence it would be somehow foolish to solely rely on “trend”

Thank you po for this insight! This gives me a bit of hope kasi 70/75 lang ako ngayon, next year pa ako magkaka-additional 10 points, pero at least, naka queue na yung EOI ko.

May I know po if you still know yung page regarding the EOI lodgments for each specific job code? I can't seem to find that kind of data. Again, this gives me a bit of hope kasi, as far as I can see, kakaunti lang naman yung mga tao sa job code ko. Thank you po for this!

Found it, sa DHA FOI logs. Madami kang makitang historical data dito like EOI and visa lodgements. Not sure lang kung gaano kadalas ang updates nila. Hanapin mo na lang dito yung gusto mo i review.

Hi guys, I have a question regarding claiming points for work experience in EOI. Does it have to be assessed by an Assessment Authority(like Vetassess) for you to claim the points for your past work experience. I already have a POSITIVE Skills Assessment under Vetassess, but I was not able to include all my work experiences in the assessment before due to documentation purposes issues(mahirap kasi hagilapin ang mga companies last year kasi at the peak of the pandemic. I have my skills assessment last year, around November). My concern now is to get more points, since currently, I only have 65 points (Subclass 190). If I claim for my other previous employment (w/c was not assessed by Vetassess, but are closely related occupation), I can get additional 10 points. So, going back to my question, can I claim those points in EOI even if my work experience was not assessed by Vetassess(again, these are closely related occupation). Hoping I can get some clarity and some advice here. Thanks and goodluck to us!

I just watched this new interview with the CEO of Australian Chamber of Commerce released today by Sky News :
He said "We need to get back above the levels that we had IMMEDIATELY prior to the pandemic"; this is referring to the migration quota/level.
Hopefully magtuluy-tuloy itong plan nila to take in 200k migrants vs. 160k this fiscal year. Though nagulat lang ako dun sa "immediately", I'm not sure if they would adjust/alter the current fiscal year in terms of invites and grants since 7 months pa before the start of another fiscal year for migration.

May chance kaya mag increase sila ng intake aka more invites and grants DURING this financial year? Open na kasi ang borders. Kung aantayin pa nila yung next financial year, 7 months pa yun, ang layo pa

We can all just hope na mngyari ito. Another thing we have to consider dn is madami dn pending onshore applications. Most likely prioritization will fall on which occupation is essential.

Let's give ourselves a rest nalang din muna while waiting. Since November 2021 upon submitting an EOI, gigil din ako sa paghahanap ng update or development with respect to offshore skilled migrants. Mahirap nga talaga maghintay lalo na wala na sa atin yung bola. Haha. Wala na tayong magawa. Pero getting anxious about the future or the result doesn't help at all. Nakakadagdag lang sa burden. Ipon nalang muna ng pocket money within that 7-month timeframe, tsaka na ako ma-stress pag malapit na mag expire yung EOI ko. Hehe
(More on advise ito sa sarili ko. Since may agent ako pero di rin ako mapakali kakahintay at kaka-research.)

Tama po! Ako kasi DIY so talagang search ako ng news articles every single day. Nakakadagdag nga sa burden din minsan kasi gusto mong may mangyari na pero wala eh. Hopefully Q1 2022 will have something for us.

Ito po ba yung invite table? so if N/A ang min pts, ignored muna yung occupation?

They plan these things on a yearly basis so chances of any change on intake this current financial year. Changes would have to be in the next financial year

Hello po.
Dahil po sa post galing sa Iscah Australian Migration, Iemailed NAATI po if successful takers can claim 5pts if exam are taken online and eto po ang nireply nila. Kung pwede ko nga lang din iemail ang DHA, ginawa ko na pero di ko mahanap ang email address nila to confirm. Kasi ang laking pera talaga ng exam na ito. 😅
Successful candidates of CCL can claim 05 points in certain immigration pathways.
Kind regards,
Anas Ahmed

Grabe no 200 lang binigay na 189 tapos quarterly pa ang pag-invite. Wala po akong masyadong knowledge with pre-pandemic times pero diba monthly ang invites tapos marami?
And the fact na ang tagal pa ng new financial year, sobrang mahabaang antayan ito, lalo na sa mga nagaabang palang ng invite.

they used to have invites twice a month back then until 2018, then naging once a month til 2020, then quarterly na til now. A lot of my friends here in Aus already have 90 pts pero di na sila umaasa sa 189 honestly, masyado nang unpredictable ngayon. I saw nga rin yang invites na yan and wala nang pro-rata/non-pro rata division, specific occupations nalang ngayon ang iniinvite. Unfair sa unfair pero nothing we can do.
