21 June 2017 results

The following graph shows the points for clients who were invited to apply in the 21 June 2017 round.

Invitation process and cut offs

The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the visa date of effect) determines their order of invitation. Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.

Visa Subclass	Points score	Visa date of effect
Skilled - Independent (subclass 189)	60	21/06/2017 12:04 am
Skilled - Regional Provisional (subclass 489)	60	21/06/2017 12:04 am

Due to high levels of demand, and in keeping with previous years, the below occupation groups will be subject to pro rata arrangements to ensure availability of invitations across the programme year. SkillSelect first allocates available places to Skilled – Independent visas (subclass 189) and then the remaining to Skilled – Regional (Provisional) visas (subclass 489). If all places are taken up by subclass 189 visas then there will be no invitations issued for subclass 489 visas in these occupations.

• Accountants
• Auditors, Company Secretaries and Corporate Treasurers
• Electronics Engineers
• Industrial, Mechanical and Production Engineers
• Other Engineering Professionals
• ICT Business and System Analysts
• Software and Applications Programmers
• Computer Network Professionals.

Points scores and the visa dates of effect cut off for the occupations in the 26 April 2017 invitation round.

Please note: all pro rata occupations have reached their ceiling for this programme year. No further invitations will be offered for these occupations until the 2017-2018 programme year.

Success Story: Ali Shahzad, Computer Network and Systems Engineer, Khyber Match Factory (Pvt) Ltd [Apr 21, 2016] - Australia Immigration - CareersGiant

Success Story: Ali Shahzad, Computer Network and Systems Engineer, Khyber Match Factory (Pvt) Ltd [Apr 21, 2016]

It has been a fantastic time having my case handled by CareersGiant and I will rate their service as 10/10. I being a Computer Science graduate from FAST-NUCES and Masters from Australia(University of Tasmania), my level of expectation from CareersGiant was not ordinary. But, CareersGiant, being led by Amin Saleem (a UK graduate) having done his Computer Science from FAST-NUCES and PostGraduate in Career Guidance from London, UK , truly understands the level of Customer Service that a professional wants. Moreover, CareersGiant’s knowledge of Australian Skilled Immigration is beyond ordinary and that was also the reason why I chose them.

Although, I live far away in Peshawer, the seamless service given by CareersGiant on SKYPE via video conferencing was exceptional. As for money and consultancy fees, you can TRUST them completely. If they commit, then, CareersGiant surely delivers it. Lastly, the supersonic speed on which I was taken on this journey got completed in only 4 months. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND CareersGiant’s services to all professionals across the world.
