Hi Catherine,
My response would be much like Val's - do some internet research to show that you know some details about life in Canberra/ACT, rather than just entering general statements. STNI applications rarely fail, but if they do, it is because of dissatisfaction with this particular answer. (But you can always re-apply!). You may also choose to send some proof of research (i.e. real estate, emails you've sent to potential employers, etc) in hard copy to the STNI office to accompany the online application.

I'm sure you know this, but you can't apply for the State sponsorship until you've received the positive skills assessment back from the TRA...

Cheers,
