An ‘occupation ceiling’ might be applied to invitations issued under the independent, skilled regional (provisional) visas. This means there will be a limit on how many EOIs can be selected for skilled migration from an occupation group. This ensures that the skilled migration program is not dominated by a small number of occupations. Once this limit is reached, no further invitations for that particular occupation group will be issued for that program year. Invitations will then be allocated to intending migrants in other occupation groups even if they are lower ranking.

The table below shows the occupation ceilings for the 2019-2020 program year for each occupation on the list of eligible skilled occupations by the four-digit ANZSCO code unit group.

Occupation ceiling values are based on a percentage of stock employment figures for each occupation. Stock employment figures are provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and represent the number of people employed in Australia in each occupation.

Occupation ceilings do not apply to State or Territory Nominated, Employer Sponsored or Business Innovation and Investment visa subclasses.

Applying to Universities/colleges:

+ many more universities and colleges

This brings you one step closer to your dream!!

Financial Preparation:

Now you must start preparing your financial documents to support your studies and provide proof to the Australian High Commission.

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has financial requirements you must meet in order to receive a student visa for Australia. As of October 2019, the 12-month living costs are:

You – $21,041
Partner or spouse – $7,362
Child – $3,152

In addition to this, you must be able to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees for the first year in Australia, which will be mentioned in your offer letter.

For eg: You are a couple with no child planning study in Australia, and your Tuition fee for the first year is $24,000.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have a minimum of $52,403 to cover your stay in Australia

Tuition fees $ 24,000

Your living expense $ 21,041

Your Spouse’s living expense $ 7,362

Total Expense for 1st Year $52,403

Also in addition to this, you will have to pay for your health cover, which would be approximately $560/year for single, $2900/year for a couple and $5200/year for a family.

All costs are per year in Australian dollars. To convert to your own currency, visit http://www.xe.com/

Providing proof to the Australian High Commission

You can provide proof of your financial capability to Australian High Commission by any of the following ways,

i) If your parents or non-accompanying spouse’s income is at least $62,222 annually and you have enough evidence to prove the income source through government department (e.g. tax assessment), DHA will accept these government documents. For students accompanied by family members, the amount is AUD72,592.

ii) You must provide evidence of the funds to cover your 1-year expenses. It can be bank savings or you can access student loans from the nominated banks by the Australian High Commission. The loan must be in excess to cover your 1st-year expense in Australia. Your parents or non-acconpanying spouse may be able to sponsor you and provide the funds for you.

These are the two acceptable financial requirements you should meet. However, in case of Student loan Australian High Commission may ask you to disclose how will the loan repayment be done. So be prepared with enough evidence to support your document.

5. Applying for Student Visa

Now you are ready with your academic and financial document, it’s time to apply for your student visa.

i) You must have obtained a COE ( confirmation of enrollment) from your provider before applying for your visa. This is when you pay for your tuition fees or satisfy the conditions on your offer letter, your course provider will generate a COE for you.

ii) Visa applications must be lodged online using ImmiAccount

iii) Be prepared for a health checkup.

iv) Be prepared to provide any additional documents when asked by your visa officer. However, we recommend you to provide as much information and documents to support your claim to make the process faster.

If the Australian High Commission is satisfied with your application, you will be issued Visa. Make sure that you know about your visa conditions and obligations.
