Five months have passed since the 2017 / 18 fiscal year, and there have been 10 rounds of EOI invitations. However, the number of invitations per round has not increased as many people thought at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the number of invitations per round has plummeted to 700 in November189. however, the number of invitations per round has not increased as many people thought at the beginning of the fiscal year. Not only did this lead to a rebound in popular career scores, but hopes of a return to 60 for non-hot jobs were fading in the short term.
In the last month or two, non-popular applicants in immigration forums and WeChat groups have clearly been active, and everyone is eager to know if the 60-point non-hot in the current fiscal year will be invited. There are also some applicants about immigration quotas, the relationship between the EOI invitation and occupation quotas is not clear, today let's thoroughly analyze these issues.
Several important Concepts
Total immigration quota
The total immigration quota refers to the number of immigrants Australia plans to receive each year (migration planning level),. It corresponds to the number of visas (including the principal and deputy) approved by the Immigration Service. In recent fiscal years, Australia's immigration quota has been stable at one hundred and ninety thousand (excluding refugee visas), and there has been little change in the number of quotas for all categories.
Australia generally accepts less than or equal to the planned number of immigrants per year. For example, in fiscal year 2015 / 16, one hundred and ninety thousand people were planned, and 189770 PR visas were actually issued. In fiscal year 2016 / 17 or one hundred and ninety thousand, 183608 visas were issued, down 6162 from the same period last year.
Occupation quota
Occupation quota (oocupation ceiling) refers to the number of jobs that can apply for 189 and 489 (kinship guarantee) (only the main occupation quota is occupied by the occupation quota, and the secondary application does not take up the occupation quota). The number of invitees and the remaining numbers in each round of EOI official reports refer to occupation quotas.
In fiscal year 2017-18, the total occupation quota was 163392, and the number of popular occupation quotas was 19384. An accounting quota of 4785 means a maximum of 4785 EOI invitations (occasionally overissued).
EOI invitation
Each EOI invitation takes up one occupation quota, but not more than one hundred and sixty thousand occupation quotas can be used up.
In general, the number of EOI invitations issued per fiscal year ranges from 27,999 to 32,000, or so many quotas are used. Quotas for eight of the most popular jobs can be used up every fiscal year, while quotas for multiple non-hot jobs will be heavily left.
So here's the question. For example, there are 43990 plans. Why aren't there so many invitations? This is mainly due to:
- In the last fiscal year, many applications could not be signed because there were no quotas. When signed in the new fiscal year, some of the 43990 quotas will be taken up.
- EOI was invited, but many were accompanied by spouses and children. Shin does not occupy the number of EOI, but the visa is included in the 43990. Therefore, USCIS needs to issue fewer EOI invitations to set aside sufficient quotas for deputy applicants.
The practical significance of occupation quota
Some people will find that, since the Immigration Board can only invite 30, 000 or so applicants a year, then why is the occupation quota given to more than one hundred and sixty thousand applicants?
- In fact, in the occupational quota table we see, a certain type of occupation quota refers to the maximum number of invitations that the occupation can issue in a fiscal year, not the number of invitations that it will definitely issue. For example, the number of nurses with the largest quota was 16346 in fiscal year 2016 / 17. If the number of people above 60 points is very large, they can invite up to 16346, but in fact they are far from reaching that limit, and only 3487 will be invited in the end.
- Second, even if one type of occupation can be invited to the upper limit, it does not mean that other occupations can also invite the upper limit number at the same time. If 16346 nurses are really invited, 12859 fewer places (16346 to 3487) will have to be invited for other professions to ensure that the total number of requests for all occupations is controlled at 31867, and then the number of visas is over 40 000.
Is there too many non-hot quotas
I wonder if there is any question: why are the eight most popular quotas used up every fiscal year, but non-hot people have a lot of surplus? Is because non-hot really is not hot, so there are fewer applicants? Or is immigration giving non-hot quotas too much?
Let's look at the comparison between hot and non-hot job quotas.
For example, in the fiscal year 2016 / 17, the total number of invitations issued was 31867 (including 489 relatives and 189). All of the 16022 places in the eight most popular occupations were used up, while 2339 exceeded 18 and 2631 exceeded 56. So the total number of invitations to the top 8 is 16096, accounting for 50.5% of the total number of invitations.
Non-hot career theory to reach 60 points can be invited quickly, so before the end of last fiscal year non-hot career 60 points were basically cleared, the whole year counted down to only 31867 and 16096 15771 invitations!
And the total quota for the year is 164020, non-hot have an absolute advantage, reaching more than one hundred and forty thousand, but the actual number of solicitations can only be a close tie with hot professions.
If you look at the 2015 / 16 fiscal year, there will be 29366 invitations and eight hot jobs (at that time, there were not all of pro rata) 's 16176, or more than half of them.)
From this point of view, occupational quotas for non-hot jobs is actually a virtual data. Immigration is very clear that even if given so much, it is far from enough, only to tell us that a profession needs more.
Key factors for non-hot score rise
Eight hot quotas increase
The total quota for fiscal year 2017 / 18 was 163392, a decrease of 628 from 164020 in the previous fiscal year. Of the eight most popular occupations,
- 2211, 2335, 2611, 2613 quota increases;
- 2212, 2631 quota reduction;
- 2334, 2339 remain unchanged.
Overall, the number of popular occupation quotas has increased by 3362!
In the light of the fact that all the hot job quotas will be used up in the past, increasing the quota by 3362 means that the number of non-hot invitations will be reduced by 3362! A lower invitation means that the score may go up!
Quota for New Zealand citizens
Eligible New Zealand citizens can be re-naturalized via an PR visa on July 1, 2017.
In July, the New Zealand branch of the 189 visa submitted more than 700 applications. Although industry insiders say this number is lower than expected, and eligible New Zealanders cannot all be interested in Australian PR, even if the average of 700 applications a month, there are also 8400 applications a year! And 2017 / 18 fiscal year 189 quota or 43990, 1/5 moments will be gone!
If the hot jobs in this fiscal year or use up all the quotas, the situation will be worse for non-hot occupations! Because the increase of 3362 places for New Zealand citizens and popular occupations will lead to a reduction in the number of non-popular solicitations, thus pushing up the score!
Play differently.
In fiscal year 2016 / 17, only four careers started with Pro Rata, until Nov. 23, when all eight hot people joined the ranks.
Although last fiscal year hot job quota also ran out, but not every month on a pro rata basis, so every month 60 points of non-hot are invited.
This year, the Immigration Service changed the game, setting up fixed invitation places for each round of popular occupations, accounting for about 5 percent of the quota, or 966 (except for individual special cases).
If so, hot careers are not directly related to the number of planned invitations per round of EOI. In other words, no matter how many jobs are planned, the quota will run out by the end of next April, unless there is a situation where the number of invitations in November is not enough to divide the number of hot spots.
In the five months of the current fiscal year, the number of invitations to each round has been low, leading to a reduction in the number of non-hot spots per round, and the scores have naturally gone up. For example, each round of 1000 plans, then only 34 are reserved for non-hot occupations. If there are 2000, then there are 1034 non-hot invitations, the competition is naturally less intense.
So you should be able to understand that even if this year's top eight hot quotas are the same as last year, and then there's no such thing as NZ stream saying, the current number of invitations and plans is bad for non-hot jobs.
epilogue
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the eight most popular increases in quotas are fixed, New Zealand citizens have taken up quotas are fixed, but it is not clear how many. We can't control these two aspects, the only hope is that the Immigration Service will increase each round of invitation plans as soon as possible.
But if the Immigration Board is cautious, such as looking at the number of applications from New Zealand citizens behind it, and also in order to accumulate high-score applicants, it will be a big blow to non-popular applicants if they have been holding back the number of invitations in advance. Because 60 points can't be invited quickly, some people will be forced to win more points, and then the non-hot group will be invited to go up.
Popular careers, of course, have also been affected, with scores rising back in the last round of inviting some jobs. So we can no longer wait, after all, visas can not afford to wait.
