With the advent of the CSOL (Core Skills Occupation List) on the horizon and changes to skilled migration programs, many occupations have been removed from Australia's Skilled Occupation Lists, but don’t lose hope yet. There are still pathways you can pursue to reach your migration goals. From employer sponsorships to alternative occupations, here are some strategic steps to keep your options open and your migration journey on track.
Explore these options and consider booking a tailored PR Pathway migration consultation for personalised guidance on navigating these changes.
Options if Your Occupation Is Removed from the Skilled Occupation List
Navigating this situation might feel challenging, but there are still viable pathways that allow you to continue your journey toward living and working in Australia. Below are key options to explore if your occupation has been removed from the SOL.
Employer Sponsorship
Even if your occupation isn’t on the SOL, you may qualify for an employer-sponsored visa like the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482), provided an Australian employer is willing to sponsor you.
State or Territory Nomination
Many Australian states and territories have their own occupation lists. If your occupation is listed regionally, you might be eligible for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) or the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491), allowing migration to specific areas in Australia.
Regional Job Opportunities
Certain regional areas have unique skills needs and might offer more visa options. Working in regional Australia could open pathways for permanent residency through region-specific visa programs.
Alternative Occupations
Consider nominating a closely related occupation that’s still on the SOL. With the right qualifications and relevant experience, this may keep your application viable.
Further Training or Education
Studying in Australia can unlock new options. For instance, Training visas (subclass 407) allow workplace training, which could eventually lead to employer sponsorship or skilled migration opportunities.
