491/190 visas: 2019 – 20 state and territory nomination ceilings revealed
In two separate Freedom of Information requests, the number of nominations allocated to Australia’s state and territories for both the permanent Subclass 190 - Skilled – Nominated visa and provisional state or territory nominated Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa and the visa it replaced, the Subclass 489 - Skilled - Regional (Provisional) visa, were disclosed.
The 190 and 491 visas nominated by a state or territory are part of Australia’s independent skilled migration program, otherwise known as General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas. These visas are for skilled workers in an occupation in demand, and who are not required to be sponsored or employed.
There are numerous benefits that state or territory nominated 190 or 491 visas have over the Subclass 189 - Skilled – Independent visa and the Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa sponsored by an eligible relative:
• They avoid the Expression of Interest (EOI) invitation system. The EOI invitation system is subject to the laws of supply and demand. The points required to receive an invitation can vary depending on how many invitations are issued in a given round, which generally occurs once a month.
• The primary applicant is only required to score 65 points in the GSM points test, an increase from 60 points on 1 July 2018. This somewhat ameliorates the issue trade occupations for GSM visas have as the points test for EOI invitation visas (189 or 491 visa sponsored by an eligible relative) is heavily geared towards occupations that require degrees, as recent analysis shows.
• The number of eligible occupations is broadened significantly. The 190 visa allows for any occupation under either the Medium and Long term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Short term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). For 491 visas nominated by a state or territory, all occupation on the GSM Occupation list is possible including the Regional Occupation List (ROL). In comparison, applicants for 491 visas sponsored by an eligible relative must be skilled in an occupation on the MLTSSL only.
The drawbacks to state or territory nominations are that each has their own occupation lists and rules to be nominated. These vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, with many requiring the primary applicant to have worked, studied, or lived in that state or territory if they are currently in Australia or have a job offer. Additionally, some states and territories, such as the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Victoria, have implemented their own EOI system in part or full, creating the same amount of uncertainty as the EOI invitation system for 189 and 491 visas sponsored by an eligible relative. All the above factors (occupation lists, specific requirements, and EOI systems) are no doubt there to properly manage the supply of invitations allocated with the demand for places by prospective migrants.
The nomination ceilings for each state and territory for 190 visas in the 2019-20 program year are:
Australian Capital Territory – 1,200
New South Wales – 3,000
Northern Territory – 400
Queensland – 1,000
South Australia – 1,250
Tasmania – 1,200
Victoria – 2,500
Western Australia – 2,250
Total 12,800
The nomination ceilings for each state and territory for 489/190 visas in the 2019-20 program year are:
Australian Capital Territory – 200
New South Wales – 2,745
Northern Territory – 600
Queensland – 1,250
South Australia – 3,750
Tasmania – 1,800
Victoria – 1,043
Western Australia – 1,000
Total 12,388
One thing to be particularly wary with these numbers is that they are nominations and not visas. This means that the number of visas would most certainly be higher as secondary applicants (partners and children) are not counted in a nomination but can be included in the corresponding visa application.
This is why the 12,800 maximum number of 190 invitations do not equal the 24,968 visas allocated in the 2019 – 20 migration planning levels. Likewise with the 12,388 nominations for 489/491 visas to the corresponding 15,000 visas under the migration planning levels. This must also account for the 489/491 visas sponsored by an eligible relative under the EOI invitation system. Should all the 491 nominations be used by the states and territories, there would likely be more visas granted than allocated according to planning levels.
What is interesting, is the percentage of total nominations by State and Territory based on the split between 491 and 190 visas. In order from highest to lowest:
South Australia – 75 per cent
Northern Territory – 60 per cent
Tasmania – 60 per cent
Queensland – 55.56 per cent
New South Wales – 47.78 per cent
Western Australia – 30.77 per cent
Victoria – 29.44 per cent
Australian Capital Territory – 14.29 per cent
There are two interesting conclusions that can be drawn from these numbers. The first is that jurisdictions with a higher percentage of 489/491 visas compared to 190 visas are likely to see invited applicants remain in their jurisdiction as 491 visas are provisional and require visa holders to live, work and study in a designated regional area to be eligible for a Subclass 191 – Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa.
The second, and perhaps more important comment is the willingness of the state or territory to prefer granting provisional regional 491 visas over permanent (regional and non-regional) 190 visas. What is surprising is that the likes of the NSW Government called for immigration to be cut due to congestion, yet has a relatively low percentage of nominations for 491 visas compared to 190 visas. If they were serious about cutting immigration to major cities such as Sydney, one would expect a high percentage of 491 to 190 nominations for that state. The counterargument is that the 5,745 total nominations allocated to NSW is a drop in the ocean at 0.07 per cent of the state’s population. This is compared to 0.56 per cent for Tasmania, 0.40 for the NT, 0.33 for the ACT and 0.28 per cent for SA, when using the Australian Bureau of Statistics state and territory population numbers as of 30 September 2019.

AUSTRALIAN MIGRATION INTAKE IN THE COVID-19 ERA
Impact on Economy
Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has cautioned that cuts to the skilled migration program would have adverse effects on the economy and communities. In Australia, there are approximately 2.1 million temporary visa holders and 1.78 million permanent residents. More than 25% of Australians were born overseas and nearly 50% of Australians have a parent born overseas. Thus, the positives contribution of our immigration policy cannot be ignored:
• Australia’s immigration policy has contributed to nearly 30 years of economic growth.
• We also have the second largest migrant workforce in the OECD.
• Migrants are taxpayers and consumers and they play a big role in the housing market.
• International students bring approximately $39 billion per year into the economy, making international education the fourth-largest industry in Australia.
• Experts predict that low migration level could also reduce the national income by $50 billion over this year and next.
Intake Forecast
The federal government has forecasted that migration intake will reduce by 85 percent due to the travel ban. Scott Morrison told reporters following the national cabinet meeting that “on the 2018-19 year for net overseas migration, we’re expecting just over a 30 per cent fall in 2019-20, the current financial year. And in 2020-21, an 85 per cent fall-off those 2018-19 levels as well.”
The current planning level for 2019-20 migration program is listed below. While it is unlikely that migration level would meet the 160,000 cap, Scott Morrison has indicated that after the global crisis has passed, he intends to maintain migration intake around 160,000 – 210,000 a year.

Planning the permanent Migration Program for 2020 (before the COVID-19 crisis)
Australia’s Migration Program settings are designed to ensure that migration is beneficial for the current and future economic and social development of Australia. The Migration Program is currently planned and managed annually, with the Program set at an annual planning ceiling of 160,000 places for four years from 2019-20.
The permanent Migration Program consists of these streams:
• Skill stream improves the productive capacity of the economy and fills skill shortages in the labour market, including those in regional
• Family stream allows Australian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with close family members, including partners, and certain dependent
• Special Eligibility stream provides visas for those in special circumstances that are not provided for in other streams, including former residents, and visas granted under Ministerial
• Child category allows parents to sponsor their child who is outside Australia to come to Australia.

Australian Migration Intake in the COVID-19 era
To see the impacts of the Covid-19 on Australia’s immigration intake, we have summarised some of the numbers for you:
• Approximately 300,000 temporary visa holders have already left Australia since January 2020.
• Australia’s 2019- 20 migration program will fall short of the 160,000 caps put in place by the federal government. It has been suggested that around 240,000 fewer people could migrate to Australia over the next year.
• In December 2019, there were 2.43 million temporary visa holders in Australia. This has dropped to 2.17 million in early April.
• With border closures, the federal government predicts that net migration to fall to 36,000 in 2020-21.
• The number of invitations issued for SC 189 visa fell from 1,750 to 50 in the last invitation round (11 April 2020).
• Similarly, the number of invitations issued for the SC 491 visa fell from 300 to 50 in the last invitation round (11 April 2020)

International students could be allowed back into Australia as early as July with the federal government confirming it will consider an exemption to the travel ban.
The federal government has confirmed it will consider exempting international students from Australia's travel ban as early as July.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed a national three-stage framework out of coronavirus restrictions on Friday that opened the door for overseas-based students to return to Australian universities.
While specifics around the exemption have not been outlined, Mr Morrison said it would only be done if strict quarantine restrictions were met.
"Issues of international students, you'll note that it does come into the third step of the plan, that is a possibility," he said.
"We are open to that, and we would be working with institutions to see how that could be achieved.
"But it must be done according to those strict quarantine restrictions and how that's done, and how those costs are met."
At least 10 per cent of international students enrolled at Australian institutions are stuck overseas with the industry worth $40 billion a year to the economy.
Australian universities are expected to record large losses as a result of forced campus closures and border restrictions.
The international education lobby has been pushing for an exemption to travel bans for international students.
"Clearly without any international students coming into the country, Australia's fourth-biggest industry is in a major crisis," International Education Association of Australia CEO Phil Honeywood said.
National COVID-19 Coordination Commission Chair Nev Power stressed the importance of rebooting education as quickly as possible and suggested the possibility of university-funded charter flights to bring overseas students back to Australia.
"There is an opportunity for the universities to work with the government to provide safe processes ... expedite those visas, get those international students back here as quick as possible," Mr Power told the Australian Financial Review.
"We'll need to put quarantine provisions in. We'll need to make sure that unis are reconfigured to incorporate safe practices. But that way we can accelerate that because right now, this academic year, you could have them back."
However, the uncertainty faced by international students has left many considering if it is worth committing to another semester in Australia.
Belle Lim of the Council of International Students Australia said some students were choosing to defer their studies.
"The next semester is starting soon, some of them have received a conditional offer but they don't know if they should take it," she said.
"They don't know if they can come back to Australia in time."
The peak body for Australian universities insists any rush for a return to face-to-face teaching will need to meet strict medical guidelines.
"The health of our student and staff body is always the number one priority," Universities Australia CEO Catriona Jackson said.
"None of this happens if we don't get the OK to do so from health authorities."

491/189 visas: SkillSelect EOI invitation numbers fall of a cliff to 100…no surprises why
The unpredictability of the invitation round system for Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent visas and Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visas sponsored by an eligible relative continues as the 11 April 2020 invitation round issued a measly 50 invitations for each visa, 100 in total. While previous rounds have been as low as 200 invitations, this is likely the lowest number since the SkillSelect regime commenced in July 2012 and a probable reaction to the coronavirus pandemic and surge of unemployment in Australia due to businesses shutting down, some permanently.
During times of economic upheaval, the skilled migration program is the first to be reviewed as these visas are purposefully designed to assist in Australia’s economic output when compared to the family migration program that has less overall benefits to Australia’s bottom line. In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2001 – 09 reforms to Australia’s permanent skilled migration program were implemented.
The history of these reforms is best summarised in a research paper available in the Parliament of Australia’s Library. Effectively, the skilled migration program began shifting from supply-driven independent skilled migration, which comes under the broad classification of General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas, to demand-driven employer sponsored migration.
These reforms were capped off with the introduction of the SkillSelect model and particularly the Expression of Interest model and invitation system for 189 and 491 visas sponsored by an eligible relative. The two other GSM visas, namely the Subclass 190 - Skilled – Nominated visa and Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa nominated by a State or Territory, are subject to the whims and requirements dictated by each State or Territory with limits on the number of invitations each State or Territory can issue.
Tinkering with skilled visas have occurred on a regular basis over the almost eight years since SkillSelect’s introduction. Most recently, employer sponsored visas bore the brunt of major changes, including the need to be nominated in an occupation on an approved list for Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme visas, and all but abolishing the Subclass 187 – Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa and replacing it with the two-step Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa then the Subclass 191 – Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa. Transitional arrangements for Subclass 457 - Temporary Work (Skilled) visas holders for 186 visas and Subclass 482 - Temporary Skill Shortage visa holders under the Medium-term stream for 187 visas still exist.
Making sweeping changes to employer sponsored visas are politically perilous because the government may incur the wrath of a disadvantaged employer at the ballot box. Appeasement for some has taken the form of the increased use of labour agreements, which provides flexibility for almost any skill shortage situation an employer may face.
Because the EOI system for 189 and 491 visas sponsored by an eligible relative is at the mercy of planning levels created by the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs), it is no surprise any economic shock would place pressure on the number of invitations being issued. The reason in comparison to all other skilled visas is simple, and cannot be understated:
Adjusting the number of invitations issued under the EOI model for 189 and 491 visas is the quickest and most politically appealing response to economic fluctuations.
Home Affairs, despite what some may think, can only actively adjust visa application numbers (and grants) for employer sponsored visas by amending regulations. In many ways they have done this by increasing English language requirements, abolishing English language exemptions, and as already mentioned, without a doubt the biggest change was to require applicants to be nominated in an occupation on a specific occupation list. Outside of this, they cannot refuse 186 nomination and visa applications unless they do not meet the criteria set in the regulations. This is why migration planning numbers, in some sense, cannot be “controlled” outside of changes to the economic climate and is the why criticism has been levelled at processing times for certain visas despite planning levels, such as partner visas where a substantial number of onhand applications have yet to be processed.
The EOI invitation system is a different ball game entirely. An EOI application is not a visa application. Furthermore, the competitive nature of this system and the limited number of invitations is designed to give those with the highest points visa invitations subject to pro-rata arrangements for certain occupations, which make it even more difficult to receive an invitation. Those who are granted visas are more inclined to work in their nominated occupation than those with fewer points because they are likely to have employment experience in their occupation, better English skills, be in a preferable age bracket, have studied locally, and therefore are more familiar with the local labour market and have better employment prospects – all factors that score points in the GSM points test.
This last point is also significant as to why employer sponsored visas have overtaken priority. All permanent visas and the 491 visa, with the exception of 187 visa holders who can have their visas cancelled should they not commence employment or work in the position nominated for 2 years, do not have any post-grant visa condition for the visa holder to work in their nominate occupation. Invariably many GSM visa grants have been to applicants who have never previously set foot in Australia or will not work in their occupation after their visa has been granted.
In comparison, employer sponsored visa holders must have been working, and must be nominated to work, in a skilled occupation. Those applying under the Temporary Residence Transition stream must have done so for years with their nominating employer to be granted a visa.
The question remains as to whether Home Affairs will reach the number of visas issued according to the 2019-20 planning levels. What should be kept in mind is that the number of invitations does not equate to the number of visa grants. Post-invitation factors cannot justify this conclusion, including refused visa applications from an invitation; invitations lapsing when the corresponding visa applications is not made within the required 60-day window; and secondary visa applicants and grants.
Whether there will be a sustained drop in invitations in the coming months will be telling as to the intention of the program within the current economic climate. At the start of May, reports of a 30 per cent drop in net overseas migration (NOM) was expected this financial year and a whopping 85 per cent drop in 2021 with negative flow-on effects to Australia’s economy. The EOI and invitation system is a fraction of NOM, which counts temporary visa holders in Australia for 12 months or more over a 16 months period.
Perhaps the most compelling reason for the substantial drop in invitation numbers comes from the explanation of the migration program’s size and composition on Home Affairs’ website:
Community views, economic and labour force forecasts, international research, net overseas migration and economic and fiscal modelling are all taken into account when planning the program.
It goes without saying that at the time Australia’s 2019-20 migration planning were being considered, absolutely nobody could have forecasted the economic and labour force Australia, and indeed the world faces presently. The 2020-21 planning levels, when released, will be another important indicator of the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. They could maintain or increase migration to assist in economic growth, which the Prime Minister is edging towards, or curtail it to primarily reduce the unemployment rate and provide upward pressure on wages, although a recent study by the Reserve Bank of Australia believes this has a negligible effect.
These are certainly conflicting policy positions that the government will need to hold a position on, and which they have recently accused the opposition of hypocrisy in the meantime in a now-deleted media release.

EXEMPTIONS TO AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT
Permanent residents can apply for Australian citizenship if they meet the following residence requirements:
• You must have been living in Australia on a valid visa for the past 4 years
• A permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen for the past 12 months
• Away from Australia for no more than 12 months in total in the past 4 years, including no more than 90 days in total in the past 12 months.
If you do not meet the above criteria, there may be some ministerial discretion and exemption from the ‘residence requirement’ available to you;
Significant hardship or disadvantage
Minister has discretion to consider the period as meeting residency requirements if you can show significant hardship or disadvantage.
Spouses and de facto partners
If you are a permanent resident and your spouse or de facto partner is Australian, you may meet the residency requirement if you can show close and continuing association with Australia. Some evidence may include:
• Australian citizen children
• Long-term relationship with Australian citizen spouse or de facto partner
• Regular return visits to Australia
• Ownership of property in Australia
To prove that your relationship is long-term, you would need to provide supporting documents such as text messages, photos, call history, marriage documents and so forth.
Interdependent relationships
If you are a permanent resident and you are in an interdependent relationship with an Australian citizen, you may meet residency requirement if you can demonstrate close and continuing ties to Australia. Close and continuing ties include:
• Australian citizen children
• Long-term relationship with Australian citizen spouse or de facto partner
• Regular return visits to Australia
• Ownership of property in Australia
Confinement in prison or psychiatric institution
In most cases, a person who has been confined in a prison or psychiatric institution will have to wait 4 years after being released from confinement to meet the residence requirement. However, in some circumstances the minister may waive the requirement.
Administrative error
If you were in Australia but the Minister, consider that you do not meet the residency requirement because of an administrative error. The minister has the discretion to waive treat your presence during that period as meeting the requirement.
Book a consultation to assess your citizenship eligibility
•
EXEMPTIONS TO CITIZENSHIP RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS AND COVID-19 CRISIS
Applicants who intend to apply for citizenship by conferral must meet the citizenship ‘residence requirement’. This generally means physically residing in Australia for four years or more, including 12 months as a permanent resident before lodgement of your application. The Department of Immigration have advised that there are no concessions for those who are not able to return to Australia due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions, meaning you will have to delay lodging your citizenship application until you satisfy the ‘residence requirement’.

COVID-19: Victoria offering relief payments of up to $1100 for international students

Hot off the heels of Tasmania announcing their own relief package for temporary residents, the Premier of Victoria announced yesterday that international students can receive a once-off $1100 payment as part of the state’s emergency support package.
Taking a swipe at the Federal Government’s lack of support for temporary visa holders, the Victoria Government expect some 40,000 of the current 150,000 or so Subclass 500 - Student visa holders living in Victoria and enrolled at Victorian universities, TAFEs, and private education providers including English language colleges could benefit from this relief payment.
To qualify, international students will need to demonstrate lost wages of up to $1100 to be entitled to the expanded emergency funds. Unlike Tasmania’s support package, this excludes all other temporary visa holders.
Other support provided by the Victorian government is also available to temporary visa holders including rental relief and the Working for Victoria initiative for those with work rights which aims to match residents looking for employment with businesses looking for workers.
