So, IT students are asking what will happen to their PR.
For IT there are three steps as well.
You have to do Skill assessment for 491, 189 and 190 visa.
Aside from this, there is your nomination and then visa.
Usually in skill assessment for IT,
If you have a 4 years bachelors degree in IT and after that 1 year of work experience is required.
In some countries the work experience for it is 2 years but,
it is after the studies. You have to show work experience after studies.
Now what to do if you don't have relevant studies? In that case,
if you have done bachelors (honors) in any field but you have a work experience of 6 years
then your skill assessment is possible.
If you have 6 years of experience you can also do RPL which is Recognition of Prior Learning.
What is RPL? If you have relevant work experience but no related studies,
then you can establish your learning and your experience with your work
You can be a software engineer, networking engineer, or you can also do work related to cyber security.
Currently, if you see any field,
or any department there is always need for IT like health department,
or if it's construction industry or any other.
There can be a need for software engineer, developer programmer or networking engineer.
Currently it is high in demand in Australia, and due to this
there is a decline of people in the local market.
Due to decline in local market, many offshore applicants got invitations that were 65.
Nobody ever thought that you can get an invitation on it at 65.
That's why Australia introduced many other visas for people above 45 years of age.
Many other visas were also introduced like "Global Talent Visa"
There is no age limit for a global talent visa, but it has some other requirements.
you must be professional and academic.
Likewise, there is also a category for sports, but if we specifically talk about IT,
If you are a cyber security expert, and you have good networking abilities
and you are a capable software engineer, and your package,
No matter where you are, can earn or you are earning 158k AUD per annum.
Then you can also be eligible for global talent.
The previous government specially made a taskforce for global talent as well.
The main aim of taskforce was talent hunt.
They started talent hunting for candidates working outside Australia.
And not only related to IT in Australia but many other fields as well.
But as we are speaking of IT now, there are many segments of IT
like networking. Cyber security is a huge a challenge for the whole world.
So the cyber security experts who are or who can earn good package in Australia,
then you are eligible for global talent.
The age gap for general skilled migration is same, i.e, 45 years
You will have to follow the same steps.
But if you don't fall under the category of general skilled migration
Then you can go for global talent.
There are many requirements to apply for global talent but,
if you genuinely want to apply and consider yourself talented,
and you are a researcher, then you can get this direct Australian PR
