Do you wish to move to Australia as a skilled worker and get its prized Permanent Residency (PR)? But just having the necessary skills does not mean you can get a visa and shift to the country. You cannot become eligible for an Australia Visa if your profession in not in demand and not given on the Australian Skilled Occupations List (SOL).
Now the list is called the Australia Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). You need to check the 2017 – 2018 MLTSSL to find out in case your specific line-of-work makes the grade for a Visa for the country.
The MTSSL is basically a list brought out by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection of the vocations that qualify for consideration as part of a candidates’ visa application.
In case you are keen to shift to the overseas hotspot under one of the skilled Visa Schemes, it is mandatory that you have a job given on the MLTSSL.
MLTSSL
The list contains the different in-demand professions along with their ANZSCO Codes and the assessing authorities/organizations. For instance, in the first occupation while Accountant (General) is the occupation, 221111 is the ANZSCO Code and CPA/CA/IPA is the assessing authority.
Caveats, or the *** asterisks, apply to some particular professions on these lists which exclude the use of the line-of-work in certain situations for the Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa (Subcategory 57) Scheme.
Some specific professions on the MLTSSL are flagged with a double Asterix. It denotes that these profession types are confined to the candidates submitting an application under some particular visa classes only. The vocations indicated via ‘** asterisks’ are only obtainable for these visa schemes, namely, Skilled – Independent (subclass 189), Temporary Graduate (subclass 485), and the Skilled-Regional (Provisional) (subclass 489), in case the candidate does not have any nomination from a government organization of ant Australian State or Territory.
