Dear subscribers,
Welcome to the latest edition of IMMIGRATIONews and to the new subscribers. IMMIGRATIONews is proudly sponsored by Australian Immigration Law Services. For new readers you can subscribe using the link on the right hand side. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any of your friends.
Today, we bring to you an update from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection that states;the current occupations of the SOL list will not be removed plus in demand trade occupations will be added to the list.
Joint media statement with Andrew Robb & Michaelia Cash details no occupations will be removed from the SOL List.
This year one has heard a lot of rumours regarding occupations that are going to be removed from the all important Skilled Occupation List which determines the skills in demand to allow skilled migrants to apply for Australian Residency under the independent or state/ family sponsored points tested visa or temporary graduate (subclass 485) work stream.
Before prospective migrants can apply for independent skilled migration, they must submit an expression of interest via SkillSelect.
This week a joint media statement issued by Andrew Robb - Minister for Trade and Investment and Michaelia Cash - Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection states categorically that no occupations currently on the Skilled Occupation List will be removed. The SOL currently lists 188 occupations that Australia needs.
Not only that, as reported by IMMIGRATIONews Issue 308 Chefs, bricklayers and wall and floor tilers will be added to the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) from July 1 to help meet the skills needs of the Australian economy.
Minister Robb said in the press release this week; 'Bricklayers and tilers have been added to the list because of an increase in demand predicted for these occupations as well as a decrease in apprenticeship completions.'
Minister Cash said the addition of chefs to the SOL reflects that the occupation is in short supply, coupled with strong growth projected in the café and restaurant sector.
'Including chefs on the SOL will provide greater flexibility for businesses to recruit skilled chefs from overseas when they cannot source these skills locally,' Minister Cash said.
'The addition of these occupations will be especially welcomed in regional areas, where there is a known deficit of skilled workers in the hospitality and construction industries.'

1. Just received the syllabus from our school and I noticed that there were some discrepancies in the Course/Subject code and Course title vs. the one reflected in the TOR (maybe because they provided the current syllabus and not the one that we used a couple of years ago). For example of the course code, "ACT 21" in TOR while in syllabus, it's "ACT20J04". For course title naman, per syllabus it's "Financial Accounting Part 2" while in TOR it's "Intermediate Accounting Part 2". My concern is, will this matter upon evaluation?
2. Regarding the subject mapping, did you include it upon initial submission to the assessing body or binigay nyo lang upon request?
Thank you so much in advance! :-)
This forum is really a big help.:-)

2. Fortunately for me, I did not include a mapping in my application since I saw a 1:1 match to CPAA's subjects to my school's course description when I made one. But do include it, although I'm not sure how others did it.
God bless!
