Much appreciated about your feedback and suggestion, Southlander!

Thank You Southlander! Yes that was a typo, should be June 2020. My application was submitted in Feb 2020, with medicals and PCCs submitted in May-Jun 2020. I am sure my PCC was expired therefore I received an email from CO to update my PCC.
My agent handled my application and he was the key contact with IMMI department. Based on his experience, CO will only request to update PCC and medicals right before the visa grant, that's why he worries that even I will be granted a visa soon, I cannot travel to Australia due to border closure. But thank you for your suggestion, you are right, I should consider competing the spots with all those backlogs plus the newly submitted applications.
I am from Hong Kong and not sure if the fast tracking of my application is related to this news: https://www.sbs.com.au/chinese/english/federal-government-confirms-fast-tracking-of-hong-kong-skilled-visa-applications

Hi all,
I submitted offshore application (with PCC and medicals) in June 2021 and since then my application is under “Further Assessment”.
Today, I got an email to update an expired PCC, I have spoken to my agent and he said it is very tricky that even I re-applied for PPC and get visa granted, I will NOT be allowed to enter Australia until border opens (FYI, my occupation is not under critical category and I don’t think I can get exemption for travelling to Oz). The problem is that 5 years of 491 will be starting counted at the time of visa granted.
My agent proposed to send the request letter to the to request them NOT to grand my visa until the border opens. May I know if anyone have tried that, before visa granted? Or it is simply out of our control?
Thank you.
