Alan Collett Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Just in, via the MIA: The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has released the new Points Test for General Skilled Migration (GSM), available here and through Commonwealth of Australia Law here. Some major changes include: The bundling of qualifications and work experience to achieve the majority of points; An increased of the GSM age limit to 50 years of age; The inclusion of two additional recognised English language tests; The degree of relationship between sponsor and applicant now determining points awarded for sponsorship; Sponsors now must be Australian citizens of at least five years and resident of at least the two years immediately prior to application; and Regional family sponsors now must be residents of a designated area for at least two years immediately prior to application. I will post an article on Go Matilda News this afternoon: Go Matilda - Your Gateway to Australia - News Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Khairra Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 This statement/information has been retracted by the MIA. Still waiting for the points test to be released. Looks like everyone including MIA is confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
