Skills Occupations List

All change? The movers and the shakers for the Proposed Skills Occupations List

Following further consultations, the Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business currently have the following recommendations to consider.

If these are carried out this will directly affect whether or not applicants may or may not be eligible for permanent or provisional residence, or if sponsored by an employer whether or not a caveat will be imposed.

What it does mean however is that you may wish to move quickly… and to gain some advice on your next step.

Here is the updated list with the potential changes just released:
