ACT - CANBERRA UPDATE
The ACT (Canberra) Occupation List was updated to incorporate the Department of Home Affairs changes to the list of occupations which we wrote about in our previous blog post.
For sponsorship/nomination from Canberra (the ACT) please remember that you have to complete an EOI and you also have to complete the ACT's "Canberra Matrix" where the ACT awards you points against their own set of criteria. The highest ranked candidates under the Matrix scoring system are selected and invited to apply for ACT 190 nominations. More information about the ACT's system and criteria and list of occupations is available here:
