It has been a tough time for all of us onshore. Many of us are waiting, at the same time paying tax yet locked out from gov benefits such as Medicare, house loan, job opportunities etc.
Hi Karl, Thank you so much for these detailed insights. I have not seen anyone else doing such a deep dive into a specific occupation group on TH-cam for everyones' interest. I need your advice on below. Context - I am an ICT professional with EOI lodged with 261312 (Developer Programmer) ANZSCO. I am sitting on (90+5) points score, currently onshore on TSS 482 in NSW - arrived in Syd a month back. Expecting to get another 5 points added by first fortnight of Feb (for onshore 1yr experience i.e. prior 7 months in 2020 + Sep-Feb 2022 5 months = 12 months). This should make me eligible with all NSW 190 requirements. Quick queries - 1. The 6 months "Residence" criteria is immediate last 6 months at either NSW or onshore; OR is it total contiunous 6 months in NSW (irrespective of the year where I stayed in NSW i.e. year 2020). 2. I will start losing score for age again by Apr 2022 (will become 33 yrs). By when the points claims should be proven - is it when we get nomination from NSW or till nomination approval or is it at the time of invitation to apply for visa? Also, do you think I might get an invitation for 190 from NSW during that Feb to Apr 2022 period, realistically? Thanks in advance! Note - 1. I may not be able to score any higher points as I am already holding superior English score, CCL/ NAATI score and ACS skills assessment done! 2. My stay in Syd was for 7 continuous months in year 2020. Now I'm again on TSS 482 in Sydney.
Hey Karl . you are absolutely right. I am a offshore Network and System Engineer waiting since long , although I have 85 points 491 visa. Still eagerly waiting but nothing substantial.
Thank you for the very informative video. Where could I get the statistics on previous rounds of invitations for each state as you showed in the video please? Thanks so much.
Hi Karl, your video has been insightful and educational on the immigration aspect of Australia. I respect the transparency you provide of the process. What do you think of an onshore system analyst with 90 points for 189 or 95 for 190? Applied for VIC but looking into other states now.
Thank you for the insight Karl, do you think a petition would be helpful? Maybe creating one such that NSW create a pathway to PR for International Students? This may also be helpful for your channel. Let me know what you think.
I don't agree. ICT or Software is highly sought after. You cannot tell someone not to go into ICT. There are not enough good software engineers. World Wide. Maybe not to get invited but overall, Engineering is a great profession.
World wide definetly and will stay in high demand especially for good ones yes. But Australlia is a wealthy country beacuse of geo-economic factors if you look at how much tradies get paid there. For me if it is going to be that hard to get in then I'll just go to other countries like in Western Europe or US where the pay will likely be better in anycase and try my luck later if I still want to. The problem is and I can see out of Australia gov perspective ICT has a low barrier of entry and they don't want people to use it to migrate to Australia they actually want to fill the skill shortage by sourcing highly skilled people. Hence it is best to go for the a company sponor visa, because good companies don't hire below average Software Engineers and will idealy aim for a good one. Their problem is by lifting the bar they deter good developers because people won't idealy want to immigrate more than once to improve their quality of life. So basically good software engineers won't necesarrily need to go to Australia to improve their quality if life, unless they want to and I can't imagine many good software engineers thinking "Hey lets move to Australia".
A Developer here with 90 points, waiting for almost 2 years, and still nothing. I have PTE 85, CCL, and every other possible point for an offshore applicant. The problem is not the points, the problem is that there are just a few invitations being issued for us (just a couple 491 by SA and WA). It is like they do not need IT guys since our jobs can be done remotely. Can you and other migration agents email DHA and other related authorities and speak for us?
Govt get benefits (choose the best) After selection candidates vise versa Govt should change this mentality to avoid future huge labour/skill shortage.
Hi Karl, Thanks for the video. It was pretty informative. I have an Australian Bachelor Degree (ICT Major) from Federation University. And a total of 6 Years of Offshore Experience Only AS Software Engineer and currently working under same position. How many years will be deducted for skill assessment by ACS?
Hi Karl, please help me choose my specialisation in IT from UOS considering that i have 2 year experience in cybersecurity already, let me know if your advice would be cybersecurity , because in UOS , for the course Ms in IT and IT management cybersecurity seems to be less in the topics of teaching

Hi Karl, could you please make a video about get the residency trough a business. I read that you can start a business in a regional area and having for more than 2 years and you can get a temporary residence. Could you please confirm that information? By the way, I was talking about QLD. Thanks
Hi Karl, Thank you so much for your information. I already have my skill assessment based on my qualification and PY as a system analyst. I was wondering if I need to get a new skill assessment for my 1-year work experience again to claim 5 points?

@@ChannelAMEC thanks Karl for always replying..After reapplying my assessment Do I have to just upload result in existing EOI or I have to lodge EOI again ?
Thanks for the video. What are my chances to get invited for 190 at WA through graduate stream with 85 points? I have a bachelor degree in ICT and currently working as a software engineer. Only 3 months left on my visa 🥲
NSW has just made it worse tbh - I meet the minimum criteria still no invitie (Onshore ICT BA 100 pts 2yrs work ek NSW 190)
Obviously the IT cap is very little for NSW 190 and 189. They just want higher pointers.

Hi, did you end up ending an invite?
Hey, how long ago did you apply? Did you get an invite?
Thank you for the very informative video. Where could I get the statistics on previous rounds of invitations for each state as you showed in the video please? Thanks so much.
Google search: “skillselect”
At this point I feel like sponsorship is the only way for onshore ICT professionals like us
That’s it
Any improvements recently? Im planning to apply for visa 190 for ICT Support Technician or Engineer.
Don't think so
