Australia is an incredibly popular destination for skilled migrants, with over 128,500 places available in 2015-2016 under the country’s General Skilled Migration (Skillselect) program. Under the Skill-select program skilled worker applicants can gain a permanent Australia visa; using their qualifications, work experience and language ability to meet the Australian immigration requirements.
The General Skilled Migration (Skill-select) program replaced all other Australian skilled worker visas in 2012-2013. The system has 5 visa sub-classes, and is points based; applicants must meet at least 60 points from the General Skilled Migration (Skillselect) points tables to be considered.
