Immigration is a process of shifting to some other country for work or other reasons. Immigration can be either temporary or permanent. According to Australian immigration status, the involved country needs many skilled immigrants to grow and work at its full capacity. Due to rapid development in the fields of science and technology, the nation needs increased workforce to tackle the work load.

The immigration and citizenship department of the nation is developing new programs and altering the old ones to fill as many as possible vacancies. They already had a list known as skilled occupation list, which contains all the occupation which require a certain level of skills and are in demand in the country. Now they have brought certain changes according to the new requirements.

The skilled occupation list mainly consists of engineers, nurse, doctors, production managers, industrial managers, architectures, carpenters, etc. They have removed some of the occupations which were previously in the list due to decrement or termination in the vacancies for those positions.

Immigration and citizenship department has made a list of priority which divides the application in the form of rankings. If you are sponsored by employer then accepting your visa application will be their first priority. If you are sponsored by some state or territory then you are their next priority, and this continues to unsponsored skilled visas and at last unskilled or any other kind of visa. They have also raised cap on the number of skilled immigrants given admissions annually.

It will be good if you can get yourself sponsored by your employer or relatives. You can also be nominated by your employer. Do not accept similar job for lesser pay scale.
