Do it Right the First Time

During 1998-99, (latest program statistics provided by DIAC as of 10/2006) more Points Test visa applications were refused than granted.

A total of 24,132 Points Test visa applications were refused and 22,686 granted. Skilled migrant visas refused for 2005-2006 represented 8,056. It's important to note that mistakes can delay or even disqualify an application.

In today's ever-changing, increasingly unpredictable immigration landscape, it's more important than ever to get a case done right the first time -- it's crucial to make a correct, thorough application the first time, with accurate forms, visa category and supporting documents.

There are many ways to innocently sabotage your application. One common mistake is selecting an inappropriate skilled occupation. You must be careful when selecting an appropriate skilled occupation. The Pass Mark and Skilled Occupations List are subject to frequent change and may adjust between time of application and decision. The recent "Employment Experience" factor is also technical in nature often requiring an applicant to have worked in a closely related occupation to that nominated or relying on another occupation unrelated and on the Skilled Occupations List.
