Cut-offs and Invitation Process

As we have observed in previous rounds, candidates with the highest ranking regarding their points score received ITAs for their specific visa. Clients having similar points scores get their invitations depending on the fact as to when they get their points score. Expressions of Interest (EOI), which relate to later dates of effect, receive invitations after those, presented at earlier dates.

Since, following occupation groups show high levels of demand. Hence, they get their processing through pro rata arrangements. This helps to ensure the availability of invitations during the whole program year.

• Industrial, Mechanical and Production Engineers
• Electronics Engineers
• Computer Network Professionals
• Software and Applications Programmers
• Accountants
• Auditors, Company Secretaries, and Corporate Treasurers
• Other Engineering Professionals
• ICT Business and System Analysts

SkillSelect allocates the available places for Skilled–Independent visas (subclass 189) on a priority basis. However, the remaining places are allocated to Skilled–Regional (Provisional) visas (subclass 489). In case, subclass 189 visas get all the allocations, it is possible that subclass 489 visas will remain deprived of such invitations.

The visa dates of Effect cut off and points scores for particular occupations are mentioned in the table below.

Other Engineering Professionals (2339) and Computer Network Professionals (2631) have exceeded their ceiling for this programme year. No further invitations will be offered for these occupations until the 2017-2018 programme year.
