Guest Mongobear Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Did anyone find the application-document? They write: but the link refers to the same page. Where is the online-application system resp. document to apply? I also wanted to find out if they still have these hardcore financial requirements but cannot find any facts. They just require you to attach: ... but what are the required financial ressources. It used to be 65.000AU$ for a family of three but I cannot find any evidence if it still is. Has it been withdrawn ? Hopefully ! Anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jains005 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Ya. I wanted to ask if Cook occupation is on SMP list but its already showing not taking nominations for this application. The Applicants who has already got SS from that state under Cook occupation, WILL THEY GET PRIORITY PROCESSING 2 ? I agree with Houciaus If it is applicable also to the already sponsored applicants what is the use it was included in the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madrista Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 QLD SMP has been released. Commencement of Queensland state migration plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 The Queensland SMP has been announced but its contents not yet released. In particular the Queensland government website does not yet show the relevant occupations, however it seems there are 83 occupations listed and no trades. The following is the text of the announcement: Joint Media Release with Andrew Fraser MP – Queensland Treasurer, Minister for Employment, Economic Development and Innovation and Senator Chris Bowen – Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Friday, 26 November 2010 Federal Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen, and Queensland Treasurer and Minister for Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, Andrew Fraser, today announced the commencement of the Queensland state migration plan. ‘State migration plans are part of the Gillard Government's continued commitment to supporting the Australian economy by attracting skilled migrants who can positively contribute to our workforce,’ Mr Bowen said. ‘The implementation of state migration plans will provide flexibility for state and territory governments to nominate skilled migrants in a broader range of occupations than are currently offered on the Skilled Occupation List.’ State migration plans are agreements between individual states and territories and the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. The agreements specify an overall number of applicants that each state and territory can nominate and in what occupations they can nominate skilled migrants to work. The Queensland state migration plan enables the Queensland Government to nominate migrants who meet the particular needs of the Queensland economy. ‘Queensland is looking at sourcing highly skilled workers to meet critical skills shortages in priority industry areas and occupations, such as regional health practitioners and engineers for mining and coal seam gas projects,’ Mr Fraser said. ‘In total, 83 occupations in skills shortage areas are covered under the state migration plan. ‘State sponsorship is just one of the strategies the Queensland Government uses to address the future needs of its workforce. Other measures include education, training and employment initiatives.’ State sponsorship of skilled migrants to Queensland under the plan is limited to the skilled sponsored (subclasses 176 and 886) and skilled regional sponsored (subclasses 475 and 487) visas. The lists of eligible occupations for these visas will be released on the Queensland Government website along with information on specific sponsorship requirements for each occupation. cheers, George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebejes3 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 This just in from the Migration Institute of Australia: Minister Bowen’s office sent a media release today advising that the Qld SMP had commenced, but we have since been advised that that information was not correct. The Queensland government has advised the MIA that Minister Bowen’s media release should not have gone out, that their SMP is NOT yet in place, and that we will be advised as soon as it is. Best regards. Hmmm another wait till QLD website update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamie Smith Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Apparently the Minister has jumped too soon. The news of QLD SMP release as given to the MIA by the Minister has since been withdrawn with apologies from the Minister's office. That might explain why there is not much on the Qld website after the "release", if the announcement was premature and QLD were not geared up with website content.

Guest Jamie Smith Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi all The news comes from an MIA announcement to members. I suspect the Minister was just a few days early and that the SMP will be released soon. Until then, he can say the SMP has been agreed - but not released. Minister Bowen’s office sent a media release today advising that the Qld SMP had commenced, but we have since been advised that that information was not correct.The Queensland government has advised the MIA that Minister Bowen’s media release should not have gone out, that their SMP is NOT yet in place, and that we will be advised as soon as it is. The MIA regrets any inconvenience that Minister Bowen’s premature announcement may have caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
