1. Taking the decision

In my personal point of view, the most important step in the immigration process is the
decision making process. Many people take of couple of English exams, and when they hit a
roadblock of not being able to achieve a target score, they suddenly decide to stop pursuing
immigration!

It’s important to ask yourself these questions:

- Will I be able to adapt to the country’s culture?

- Do I find it hard to leave family and friends behind and start over in a new country
thousands of miles away from home?
- Do I accept the idea of working casual jobs if I don’t find a job in my field after I land in
Australia?
- Do I accept the idea of working an entry-level position after years of experience in my
field?
- Can I financially support myself (and my family) for the visa application and during the
first few months after I land till I find a job?
- Why immigrate in the first place? What’s wrong with staying in my native country

These are all important questions that you must contemplate their answers. For me, I decided I
wanted to immigrate because of the following:

- Free medical care in Australia.

- Education level in Australia is one of the most advanced in the world.
- The country is stable politically.
- Australia has not had a recession for 26 years.
- Culture is respective to people from different races/immigrants
- And most importantly, it’s an English speaking country with a warm climate.

In the next chapter, I’ll start discussing how to start planning the immigration process.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 8

2. How to begin planning?

It’s important to have a basic understanding of what visas you should target, the visa
requirements, the visa fees, and how the visa application process work.

Briefly, immigrating to Australia depends on two main factors: good English, and an occupation
in demand.

To be more specific, it’s a points-based system depending on 4 main factors:

a- Age
b- Education
c- English Level
d- Work Experience

Additional factors may give you additional points. We’ll go through these factors as we go
through the visa requirements.

2.1.Visa Types

There are two types of visas

1- Permanent Residency Visas

Permanent Residency visas give you the right to stay in Australia indefinitely. After
staying for a number of years, you can then apply for citizenship. These are the visa
people seeking immigration usually pursue.
PR visas include two types:
I. Skilled Independent Visa: Subclass 189 visa
II. Skilled Nominated Visa: Subclass 190 (Skilled nominated), Subclass 489 (Skilled
Regional (Provisional) (Family nominated)) visa.
2- Employer sponsored work visa:
These include Subclass 457, Subclass 186, Subclass 187. This document doesn’t go
through the specific details of these visas. Generally speaking, from my experience the
easiest of these visas to target is subclass 457.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 9

 2.2.Visa application process

So how does the visa application process work?

Step 1: You need to target a certain visa, understand its requirements, and calculate your
points.

Step 2: You need to go through English Level exams and achieve a target score.

Step 3: You should assess your qualifications with the relevant assessment authority.

Step 4: After you receive a positive outcome from your assessing authority, you submit an
Expression of Interest (EOI) on skillselect.

Step 5: There are 2 rounds each month (subclass 189, 489). On each round, invitations are
issued to applicants according to their points and the occupation ceilings. You need to wait for
an invitation to apply.

Step 6: After you receive an invitation, you have 60 days to apply for the visa. Applying for the
visa means that you need to pay the visa fees, and upload your papers that support your claims.
In addition to the education/work experience paper requirements, you will be asked to go
through a medical health check and police certificate ‫فيش و تشبيه‬

Step 7: You will follow up with the Immigration officer if he needs further documents.
Processing time takes between 7-8 months. You can check statistics of other applicants on
myimmitracker.com.

Step 8: After processing your papers, you will be granted the visa. You will be informed the date
that you must make your first landing in Australia (probably a year after the health check or
police certificate).

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 10

 2.3.Visa fees

In the following table I’ll show the total money you’ll spend throughout your visa pursue. Please
note that this is a rough estimate and it may change substantially depending on your case. If
you are applying alone, you can roughly estimate the total visa fees (including English exams,
assessment fees, paper translation, health check) approximately 80,000 EGP.

Item Cost
- IELTS: 2250 EGP
English Level Exam - PTE Academic: 150 USD

- It varies depending on the assessing

authority and the services required.
Assessment with Assessing Authority
- In my case, my assessment with EA
cost me 1305 AUD ( =18,000 EGP)
- Around 70-100 EGP per paper
Paper translation
- 130 USD per adult
Medical Health Check
- 55 USD per child
- 3670 AUD for main applicant
- 1835 AUD for additional applicant
Visa fees
over 18 years old (spouse)
- 920 AUD for each child

3. Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)

The following URL shows subclass189 details:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-

URL 3-1: Subclass 189

The following URL shows the points table:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/skilled/the-
points-table.aspx

URL 3-2: Subclass 189 Points Table

To apply for visa 189, you will need to nominate an occupation that is included in the Medium
and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).

The following URL shows MLTSSL:

https://www.anzscosearch.com/mltssl/

URL 3-3: MLTSSL list

3.1.How to plan for Subclass 189 visa?

The following steps shows your preparation plan for targeting subclass 189:

Step 1: Check MLTSSL. Find a job that is highly relevant to your education and/or work
experience.

Step 2: To fully understand the tasks and duties undertaken by a certain title, search for this
title in anzscosearch.com

https://www.anzscosearch.com/

URL 3-4: anzscosearch.com URL

Create a free account and log in to the website.

Search for your title. For example, search for “civil engineer”.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 12

 Figure 3-1: ANZSCOSEARCH

The following screenshot shows your search results:

Click on “UNIT GROUP”, then “Tasks”.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 13

After you click on “Tasks”, you will find the below tasks listed.

Figure 3-2: Civil Engineer example

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 14

Step 3: After you settle on the title that suits your work experience and/or education, you will
need to apply for skills assessment.

As you can see in the MLTSSL list, every work title has a corresponding assessing authority. The
assessing authority decides whether your qualifications and work experience are relevant to
the title you are applying for.

To continue with our example, the assessing authority for “civil engineer” is EA (Engineers
Australia). Therefore, you need to send your papers to EA for assessment. After you receive a
positive outcome letter, you can then proceed with the visa application process.

We’ll go through the assessment of EA in this document in a later section.

Step 4: You must take an English exam and aim for a target score. The English exam results are
needed for two entities: the relevant assessing authority and DIBP (Department of Immigration
and Border Protection). I’ll explain in the next section how English exams are needed for both
entities.

If your assessing authority wants the English results for assessment, then you must take an
English exam BEFORE applying for assessment. For example, EA (the assessing authority for
engineers) accepts only 2 exams (IELTS and TOEFL iBT). The following table shows the accepted
scores for EA’s assessment:

Starting November 2017, EA will accept PTE academic exam results. The accepted scores are a
minimum of 50 in each and every band of the exam.

Please understand the following: The assessing authority’s mission is to give you an outcome
letter that verifies that your education is comparable to the Australian Qualification
Framework, and that your work experience is relevant to the occupation that you were
nominated for.

On the other hand, DIBP is the authority that calculates your points (based on the criteria of
URL 3-2). DIBP accepts 5 English exams: IELTS, PTE academic, TOEFL iBT, OET, CAE. In order to
claim 10 points for proficient English, you must provide the evidence in the below URL:

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 15

https://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/how-can-i-prove-i-have-proficient-
english

URL 3-5: Proficient English evidence

In order to claim 20 points for superior English, you must provide the evidence in the below URL:

https://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/how-can-i-prove-i-have-superior-english

URL 3-6: Superior English evidence

Step 5: There are additional factors that you can claim points for. For example, if you are married and
your partner pass the partner requirements, you can claim 5 additional points.

These are the conditions for the partner skills:

https://www.border.gov.au/visas/supporting/Pages/skilled/partner-skills-documents.aspx

Figure 3-3: Partner Skills conditions

Step 6: You are now ready for submitting an EOI.

Go to SkillSelect URL and submit an EOI.

URL 3-7: SkillSelect URL

Figure 3-4: Submit an EOI

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 17

4. Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190)

People usually target this visa when they find that they don’t have the minimum 60 points to
get into the SkillSelect pool.

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-

URL 4-1: Subclass 190

The points for subclass 190 is exactly the same as subclass 189. The only difference is that you
get 5 points if you are nominated by a state:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/190/points-
table.aspx

URL 4-2: Subclass 190 Points Table

4.1.How Australian states nominate applicants?

As shown in the below URL, Once you lodge an Expression of Interest in SkillSelect, it can be
viewed by a State or Territory government or Austrade on behalf of the Commonwealth,
depending on who you select in your EOI. They can decide whether to nominate you to apply
for a visa. All nominators have their own criteria for deciding which applicants they will
nominate. In some cases before you are nominated, the relevant State or Territory government
or Austrade will contact you to discuss investment possibilities.

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-?modal=/Lega/Lega/Form/Immi-FAQs/how-do-
australian-states-or-territories-nominate-applicants

URL 4-3: State nomination criteria

4.2.How to know which state nominates my occupation for subclass 190?

To follow up with our example of “Civil Engineer”, when we search on Anzscosearch.com, we

find the following:

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 18

 Figure 4-1: Civil Engineer state nominations

As you can see, this table identifies each state that may be eligible for nomination for subclass
190, and 489. After that you should check the specific state that you are seeking sponsorship
from and the specific requirements for this state.

4.3.How to know which occupation fits for subclass 190?

Occupations listed on both MLTSSL and STSOL lists are eligible for subclass 190. This is another
advantage over subclass 189. You can only apply for subclass 189 if your occupation is in the MLTSSL list.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 19

 4.4.How to plan for subclass 190?

You should follow the same plan listed for subclass 189. The only difference is that you can
target occupations listed in STSOL, and you have to check for the nomination conditions for the
state you are seeking nomination from.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 20

5. Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)

In order to apply for this visa, you MUST currently hold a subclass 475, 487, 495 or 496 visa
(Extended Stay pathway). The points for subclass 489 are identical to visa 189 & 190, except
that in subclass 489, you get 10 points for nomination. You can also claim these points if you
are sponsored by a relative in Australia.

The following URL shows subclass 489 details:

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-

URL 5-1: Subclass 489

The following URL shows the points table for subclass 489

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/489/points-table-
489.aspx

URL 5-2: Subclass 489 Points Table

5.1.What occupations can apply for subclass 489?

Occupations listed on both MLTSSL and STSOL lists are eligible for subclass 489.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 21

6. SkillSelect

I thought I’d talk in more detail about how SkillSelect works in this chapter.

This is the URL for SkillSelect:

https://www.border.gov.au/Busi/Empl/skillselect

URL 6-1: SkillSelect URL

On the 1st of July, the lists for occupations in demand are listed on SkillSelect. There are
currently two lists: MLTSSL, and STSOL. These lists are published for the year starting from 1
July 2017- 30 June 2018. If you’ve watched videos on youtube or checked any links online, you’ll
probably come across these lists when they were know by SOL, CSOL respectively.

What are the differences between MLTSSL and STSOL?

- Occupations listed on MLTSSL are in demand on the medium and the long term. On the
other hand, occupations listed on STSOL are in demand on the short term only (which
means that these occupations can probably get off the list next year).
- In order to apply for subclass 189, your occupation MUST be listed on the MLTSSL list.
To apply for subclass 190, 489, your occupation may be listed on both lists.

In the following sections, I’ll discuss specific details about these lists.

6.1.Occupation Ceilings

The following URL shows the occupation ceiling for programme year 2017-2018.

https://www.anzscosearch.com/occupation-ceilings-2017-18/

URL 6-2: Occupation Ceilings 2017-2018

Occupation ceilings indicate how many individuals are in demand for this specific occupation.
Let’s follow with our example of civil engineer. On the 2nd of October 2017, this was the result
for Civil Engineering Professionals

Figure 6-1: Civil Engineer Occupation Ceiling

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 22

The Ceiling Value (3296) identifies that SkillSelect can issue 3296 invitations to candidates
during the programme year 2017-2018. If that ceiling is reached before the end of the
programme year, then SkillSelect can’t issue any more invitations for this occupation.

The results to date (242) identifies that SkillSelect has issued so far 242 invitations to
candidates. This number is dynamic and it will increase after each round after more invitations
are issued to more candidates.

Why is it important to check this table? Because you will be able to plan ahead for the
occupation that you are applying for and check its availability.

6.2.Flagged Occupations

The following URL show flagged occupations:

https://www.anzscosearch.com/flagged-occupations-2017-18/

URL 6-3: Flagged Occupations

The Department of Education & Training have provided the new Flagged Occupations list for
program year 2017 – 2018.

Remember that Flagged Occupations are being monitored for significant changes in labour
market conditions, so they may be removed from the MLTSSL list in future years.

This basically means these flagged occupations can be removed for programme year 2018-
2019. Why is it important to know these occupations? If your occupation lies in this list, and you
decided to postpone submitting an EOI till the next programme year, there is no guarantee that
your occupation will still be on the MLTSSL list for next year. Hence, it’s in your best interest to
submit an EOI now.

6.3.SkillSelect Invitation rounds

There is usually an invitation round every 2 weeks on Wednesday. On SkillSelect, you can check
the previous invitation round results.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 23

 Figure 6-2: SkillSelect invitation rounds

For example, if you check 23 August 2017 round results, you’ll find how many invitations were
issued for this round, and the total invitations issued during 2017-2018.

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 24

 Table 6-1: Invitations on 23 August 2017

The following graph is probably the most relevant to you a candidate. It shows the number of
invitations vs the points claimed by applicants. According to this graph, no invitations were
issued to candidates claiming 60 points.

Figure 6-3: Invitations on 23 August 2017

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 25

The following table is probably the most important table for you as a candidate, the cut off
table. Briefly, there are specific occupations that are highly competitive. Therefore, SkillSelect
can only invite the highest claiming applicants. For example, in the cut off table shown below,
Accountants require 75 points. This means that if you submit an EOI claiming 70 points with a
nominated occupation as an Accountant, you will NOT get an invitation. On the other hand, if
you submit an EOI claiming the exact 70 points with a nominated occupation that is not listed in
the cut off table, you WILL receive an invitation because the invitation by round graph shows
that you will.

The visa date of effect is the specific date that you submitted an EOI on. Using our example, if a
candidate, claiming 75 points submitted an EOI after the visa date of effect 14/7/2017 11:48,
he will NOT receive an invitation.

After you receive an invitation, your EOI status will change to “INVITED”, and you will find the
“Apply Visa” icon as shown below.

Figure 7-1: EOI INVITED status

You will have 60 calendar days in order to apply for your visa. In this time interval, you must pay
your visa fees and submit your documents that support your claims.

When you click on “Apply Visa”, you will redirected to ImmiAccount. You will create an account
on ImmiAccount to submit your application.

8. Engineers Australia Assessment

In this document, I will only cover EA’s assessment. My papers were assessed by Engineers
Australia, and I don’t have any experience with any other assessing authorities. If your
occupation should be assessed by other assessing authorities, please skip this chapter.

8.1.EA assessing services

The following table shows EA services and their respective costs

Table 8-1: EA services

Services description:

- MSA Competency Demonstration Report: This is a mandatory service that you must
apply for. This service aims to assess your education to be comparable to the listed
Australian Qualification Framework (AQF).
- Relevant Skilled Employment Assessment: This is an optional service. When you submit
your visa to DIBP, your work experience is assessed by DIBP. Why do people apply for
this service? What usually happens is that a candidate assessed that years of his
experience as “irrelevant”, or that the candidate can’t provide the needed documents to
DIBP to prove his employment during specific periods of employment. If the candidate
can’t prove his employment to DIBP, then the officer may decide to ban the candidate,
and the candidate may lose his visa fees. Assessing your work experience with EA, and

The ultimate guide to the Australian Immigration Page 30

 getting a positive outcome for his employment period gives the candidate more
confidence before applying to DIBP.

- Fast Track for Applicant: This is an optional service. Normally after you submit your
application for assessment, it should take 3 months to receive an outcome letter. Using
Fast Track service, you can get an outcome letter within 15 working days.

8.2.Document Checklist

The needed documents include your personal photo, passport, English exam, graduation
certificate, graduation transcript, CDRs. The CDRs are 3 career episodes that you write about 3
problems, projects, positions that you held. You should be provide information in these
episodes that cover the competencies of Professional Engineer. Please read the MSA booklet to
understand the specific documents required and how to write your CDRs.
