Migration Planning Levels
Source: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/what-we-do/migration-program-planning-levels
Example FY 2022:
189 = (250+200+200+200 Forecasted) = 850 invitations
491FS = (500+200+200+200 Forecasted) = 1100 invitations
Source: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds
In percentages from Actual / Planning Levels 189 = 850/6500 = 13.07%
491 FS = 1100/11200 = 9.82%
Ibig sabihin. forecast actual invitations FY 2023
189 = 16652 * 0.1307 = 2176 invitations or 544 invitations per quarter
491FS = 25000 * 0.0982 = 2455 invitations or 614 invitations per quarter
Highly competitive parin kaya aim for 95 points and above kasi marami nakapending itong pandemic
or nakaqueue para highly competitive.

*Applicants should be aware that points tested skilled migration visa applications that are not an occupation within a Critical Sector may exceed the average processing time. This is because each visa subclass contains applications that have a different processing priority. Occupations within a critical sector are given highest processing priority.

That’s always been the case - no surprise at all but usually us agents cAn gauge/would usually have a better understanding on the average time based on our own cases.

It will always be competitive but at least they’re looking into getting back that pre-pandemic level vs what’s been happening in the last 2 years. That alone is good news!

Sana nga po magtutuloy tuloy na dating ng grants lalo dun sa mga matatagal na naghihintay. Ang struggle naman po saming mga bago palang nag-aayos eh napapaisip kami kung worth it pa ba mag-avail ng fast track sa EA given the current situation kasi 12K din po difference malaki din para sa 2 months na pagitan sa paglabas ng resulta. Pag-iisipan ko pa mamayang gabi kasi bukas ko na po balak magsubmit bale final review nalang ako ngayong araw. Ano po ba masasuggest niyo? Thank you po.

Nung pre-pandemic po ba, kind of a fair game for all ba siya? Like yung mga 70-80 pointers, did they frequently get invited as well?

I’m not sure how you define fair game. All invites are based on how skillselect is programmed
