Episode Summary:

Some of you may have read or heard from others that Australia is the perfect destination for international students. It has great universities, a welcoming multicultural environment, and cutting-edge research opportunities. But that’s not all—studying here opens doors to global career opportunities, post-study work visas, and pathways to permanent residency.

In this episode Amitava & Arun explore why Australia is a top choice for many international students and what’s in store for them after graduation in 2025.

Amitava, a registered MARA agent, shares his thoughts on how to explore the right course for you that aligns with your career goals, which will eventually lead to employment opportunities and open up pathways for staying in Australia longer or permanently, whichever the case may be.

In Dec 2024, The government of Australia put in new measures to student visa applications to ensure that international students who come to Australia are genuinely keen to pursue a degree that would eventually benefit both the country and the candidate. This is all a part of the new Migration Strategy to ensure that skilled migrants can contribute to Australia's economy and in return they are provided with pathways to make Australia their permanent home.

Keeping this in mind, Amitava goes on to explain why it's in your best interest to seek immigration assistance or advice from a MARA agent if you want to extend you stay longer after graduation or live in Australia permanently.

Episode Summary:

On 3 Dec, the government announced a new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), a single consolidated list of 456 occupations, which applies to the core skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa that will replace the TSS Subclass 482 visa on 7 Dec 2024.

Jobs and Skills Australia, whose role is to provide high quality data, analysis and insights on the labour market at national, state and regional levels, was tasked as consultants to the provide the government with a draft CSOL which would represent the skills Australia needs to meet the growing demands of the workforce.

3 draft lists were published:

• Confident On List - 183 occupations

• Confident Off List – 214 occupations

• Target List for Consultation – 307 occupations

Now the current list, as mentioned earlier, is a consolidated list of 456 occupations.

In this episode, Amitava clears out all the confusion surrounding the draft CSOL and the new list published on 3 Dec, 2024. Further in the episode, he also weighs in the National Innovations visa which will soon replace the Global Talent visa.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we shall explore a crucial pathway for skilled workers that comes into effect on 24 Nov 2024 – the Skills in Demand Visa. The Skills in Demand (SID) visa is replacing the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) (subclass 482) visa to provide more flexibility to skilled workers and employers.

The new ‘Skills in Demand visa’ aims to address labour market needs and introduces several significant changes for temporary skilled migrant workers, including more time to find another sponsor if their employment is terminated, and a clearer pathway to apply for permanent residency.

We will break down the different pathways of the Skills in Demand Visa, discuss the eligibility criteria, and navigate the application process. We’ll touch upon why the Skills in Demand visa was introduced in the first place and the benefits and challenges if any that we foresee for applicants.

There are three pathways to Skills In Demand visa - Specialist Skills Pathway, Core Skills Pathway, Essential Skills Pathway. Have a listen to Amitava unpack all of them and touch upon the salient features of each.

Episode Summary:

There are quite a few people who enter or lodge an application to enter Australia on a temporary visa as they are in a relationship with an Australian citizen or a permanent resident who sponsors the applicant’s visa. These visas could be Temporary Partner Visa (subclass 820), Provisional Partner Visa (subclass 309), Dependent Child Visa (subclass 445), Distinguished Talent Visa (subclass 858), or Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300).

Sometimes, the applicant must cease their relationship with the sponsor as they have experienced domestic and family violence. The government of Australia defines Domestic and family violence as any conduct that makes you fear for your or your family’s safety and wellbeing. In such a situation, there are family violence provisions available to the victim(s). They may be eligible to apply for a permanent visa under such provisions provided the violence occurred during their relationship with their former sponsor who was also the perpetrator of the said violence.

In this podcast, we discuss how a person can legally claim that he or she was a victim of domestic violence. Amitava details out the judicial process and what the DHA's role is to explore the veracity of the claim. He also shares his experience with a client who filed a domestic violence claim but was denied a permanent visa to stay back in Australia. When she reached out to him for help, he understood the backstory and challenged the outcome from DHA. She won the appeal after 3 years and is an Australian citizen now.

If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please reach out to Amitava for help or call the emergency line 000.

Temporary Partner Visa (subclass 820), Provisional Partner Visa (subclass 309), Dependent Child Visa (subclass 445), Global Talent Visa (subclass 858), Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300).

Episode Summary:

There are many people who immigrate to Australia at a young age, leaving their family behind. At a later stage in their lives, they are now keen to bring their parents over to Australia, permanently. There is no easy pathway to permanent residence for parents. The process is quite complex, costly, lengthy and currently takes over 40 years for their PR to be approved. If one is not careful, bringing parents over on certain visa subclass will make them ineligible to apply for a permanent residence forever. The age of your parent/s also plays an important role in which subclass they are eligible to apply for.

In this podcast, Amitava shares his insights on the various parent visas available: their processing times, cost involved and salient facts about them. Parents also need to meet the balance-of-family test which Amitava touches upon in the later half of the episode. If you are keen to bring your folks over to Australia, then have a listen and share it with your friends who you think might benefit from this.

Eligibility criteria to apply for a parent visa is a bit nuanced and if you aren't careful it will cost you time, effort, and huge visa fees which you won't be able to recover. If you are at a crossroads on how to bring your parent/s over, we implore you to listen to the full episode.

Episode Summary:

Back in October 2023, we did a podcast on picking the right occupation for your skills assessment. We touched upon how relevant skills assessing authorities check that your skills meet the standards they set to work in a relevant occupation. We spoke at length about VETASSESS and how they go about assessing occupations that are NEC – not elsewhere classified.

In April 2024, ACS – the Australian Computer Society – launched a new Migration Skills Assessment platform with the intention of making it more streamlined and delivering a superior applicant experience. In this podcast we will focus our discussion on how ACS assesses the skills and qualifications of IT and Data Science professionals.

Amitava goes into detail about what's different about the new ACS Migration Skills Assessment. He sheds light on the most common query individuals on a subclass 482 visa have about the skills occupation. The conversation later steers towards the skilled regional provisional visa subclass 491 and why it's important that regional visa holders ensure they live and work in a designated regional area only.

Episode Summary:

Sumer Roy moved to Sydney, Australia in 2018 to pursue an MBA. About 2 months into University, he met with an accident and had to rush back home to Kolkata for his medical treatment. Upon returning he changed his program and enrolled in a master's program for a degree in professional accounting.
