The key reforms for projects 186 and 187 starting in March this year are broadly as follows:
- Only the long-term occupation list MLTSSL applies to 186th and 187th visas, and additional occupations will be offered to the employer-guaranteed category in remote areas

In particular: the reform proposals announced on 18 April 2017 do not specifically refer to permanent employer guarantees, namely, 186 and 187 visa age and English exemptions, but with effect from 1 July 17, the exemption from high salaries in the English language was lifted, There is no transitional policy!
It is also gratifying that the Immigration Board's announcement today reserved exemption channels for some employer-guaranteed permanent applicants. Please contact Neolithic immigrants for free age and English exemption assessment!
Will there be one more step in place for ENS and RSMS categories? Right
Will ENS or RSMS nominations submitted before March 18 still allow applicants to submit their signatures effectively after March? Right。 The law will specify which applicants apply to what circumstances.
