Whoever edits your videos is a genius. Nearly killed me with that 'choking' part which ends with offering 'special'. I am also a victim of 485 age restriction. I m in my final semester of Masters by coursework. Once i return back to my country, without the relevant work experience, but just with the university certificates, i won't be able to get just hired for sure. This academic certificate is going to turn into the most expensive toilet-roll for me. It will cost me about 120 grand with zero return on investment, and they call this to be one of the fairest countries in the world that advocates and preserves the human rights,,no discrimination whatsoever, what a lie, what a joke 😂.
It is so terribly wrong what they have done to so many people. On behalf of most fair Australians we are sorry for what they have done.
Now you'll be cast adrift like the rest of us who went before you, for many decades. And don't forget how wars interrupted all of us, especially those who got killed between getting their Master's and no job experience.
Same here, one of the cheated 😢.
Same 😢 they destroyed our futures. 😢
@@tangerineph yes i do how do i contact you
Thanks Karl, you are not just a migration agent, you are social media influencer and a journalist as well. You are raising very important points in your videos. I must say you are underrated for the work you do. I hope you get even more attention from the main stream media.
I just want to politely give my counterargument that student cap is a good thing in my opinion. This is the only policy that will impact both parties (the international education mafia and international students). While all the other solutions proposed to solve this "problem" seems to be doing more damage to students rather than big corporations. Increasing number of student visa rejections during the last year and increasing the student visa fee this year are good examples of that.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I think the whole process could be better managed and longer time to begin. It all seems so rushed an hope for the best approach
I love the humour in your videos, Karl. Keep it up.
Glad you like them!
Love the cup with the Smiley face.
As always, thank you Karl & Team.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the positive feedback!
Hi Karl, as always, thanks for your videos! Looking at the proposed skills in demand occupation list, I am confused as to why carpentry is on the consultation list- especially with the fear surrounding the housing shortage. Do you believe it will remain on the list? Thanks!
Highly likely it should
Thank you so much Karl. But when is the new skill occupation list going to carry out?
Next month or so it seems
@@ailsaustralia so if my occupation is not on the list, I can not apply for 190.😔
Hi Karl, what happened to regional migration discussion paper. Are they not talking about it ??
1:20 Why have they not released the list of Colleges shut down and those given yellow card?
Absolutely right they should!
@@ailsaustralia I am not sure if it is a rumour or a reality but I read in a facebook post that a person got invited for 189 !!! after he became a citizen. To my best knowledge EOIs of 189 expires after two years. But if it’s true then there is a huge possibility that there are more loopholes in receiving invite and people could have already taken advantage of it.
Hi Karl,
There are hundreds of people from different occupations (not priority occupations) who live and work in metro cities waiting from May/June/July 2023 for visa processing for Visa 186 Direct Entry which of their applications has passed published timeline of the Department by far. (In 9 months for %90) At the same time, they are quickly processing new applicants from 2024 applications. Could you please help us our voice to be heard? There is no certainty or guidelines that make us to understand why this unfairness happening? Do you have any idea?
Thank you for your all videos and efforts.
It is the usual circle of event's Im afraid, the processing times vary from year to year. Hang in there
Hi Karl, if I am on 482 visa, will 186 transitional pathway still available for us when the new skill in-demand is in place? M afraid that will remove 186 TRT too.
You’re safe
The TRT stream of the 186 visa is expected to remain
I think the 186 TRT stream will remain like current 887 visa until there are no more eligible 482 visa holders in the system, however long it might take to reach that point.
@@ailsaustraliaany news on 45 age limit for TRT? Does government considering any review on this
Hi Karl, Thanks for the regular updates, in your videos please include the table for the waiting times for the visas you have done previously. The visa times are changing for example for 186 it was showing on the website 90% processed in 14 months and now it is back to 9 months not sure if that's right, can you advise?
Yes will do an update in September
Hi Karl, thanks for another amazing video. For a 482 visa petition, the occupation need to be in the skill list or is enough is the occupation has a ANSZCO Code to apply for the visa? The same rules to any 186 visa?
For the 482 need to be on a current list unless it under a labour agreement
Hey Mate,
Would you rather apply for the current 482 TSS - Medium term or wait for couple of months on the Skilled in demand visa - Specialist Skill pathway? This the new skill in demand visa has a permanent pathway which is the same approach for 186 TRT? Cheers.
Hi Karl! When do you think the 482 TSS visa will stop being available? Do you think it will still be available until end of calendar year?
`hard to say but by the end of the year the change over is expected
Can one/ should one apply for more than one state simultaneously for subclass 190?
As an international student seeking to obtain a PR in Australia, the situation is so stressful 😔
Yeah I can truely understand that
Thank you for the info! One question about 482 and 186 visas.
I was working for my employer for 1 year prior to 482 visa, which means we applied for 482 after 8 months I was working there. Can I use this time to cover a few weeks of unpaid leave that I took during the 2 years on 482?
Thank you!
Look last weeks video for we covered that
@@ailsaustralia Could you please specify which video you are referring to? About 491 visa? I didn't find anything about it in there. Thanks!
Hi Karl! Your videos are the only ones i trust❤ Do you think a new point system will be implemented next year ? I am still on my JRP and not knowing if a new system will be implemented and benefit regional students its killing me!
Hi Macarena, yes I know it is killing us to to wait to find out. No time frame yet but as soon as we know you will know. Thanks for trusting our content!
perhaps if incentivising hoarding housing for tax purposes was abolished the housing crisis would ease a bit
The Government already released the new CSOL List that we can see the Occupations are Available or not yet?? I'm very stressed to get the information!
Have to wait like the rest of us I'm afraid
Thanks for the video, Karl.
Regarding everything mentioned about the new Core Skills Visa, assuming the Skills List stays relatively the same, it seems like a 482 just renamed with some criteria in favor of the applicant. Is that a fair interpretation?
I’m hoping they have some sort of exemption for students who manage to secure employment while studying and have sponsors. I doubt it, but I’m hopeful, especially for those over 35.
Yes that is about it. Those who have less than one year could use the 407 visa as first choice
Thank you karl for the latest updates.
My pleasure!
Hello, is 482 work experience change is confirmed on 23rd nov? Did they officially announced it?
No not yet.
Hi Karl, may I ask if I have a job working 15 hours a week and another job working 9 hours a week? Both of them are relevant to my skill assessment. Can I claim these experiences for EOI?
Hi KARL, I think the restrictions on student visas will not affect master's and above programs much. The number of students they accept seems to be the same as the number stated now... I mean, the number of students a program can accept is already certain, isn't it in the master's program?
It seems to depend upon each university so we shall have to wait for the details of how it will work out.
Hello Carl..
What is the update on scraping of PY or changes to it?
There is no set plan to scrap the PY programs on the table
Hi Karl, for a chef will fall in which category and when this 3 stream will be implemented
Not sure yet, will have to wait and see but I feel it will be on the core stream
Hi Karl, would you rather apply for the current application process for 482 Visa or wait for the few months on the Skilled in demand visa for core skilled occupation list if the occupation to apply is on construction industry?
Highly likely all contruction jobs will be there but you never know. Apply earlier if it suits
Thank you Karl
Your welcome!
Hey Karl. Can you do an update video on Date deemed skilled. There seems to be alot of confusion around it.
Yes indeed, tomorroews edition I will cover this
Karl, thank you. Your videos are always extremely helpful. I'd have a question:
Will currently eligible occupations for the Training visa 407 be impacted by the introduction of the new CSOL? (i.e. is there a chance that while my occupation is currently eligible for a 407 visa, it will not be once the new list has come into effect? Or are the CSOL and the 407 visa not related?)
Tysm
The CSOL will probably regulate the 407 visa too
Thank you @@ailsaustralia
Do you have any information on chanced for occupational health and safety advisors gaining 190 invites? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry no information on that
Hello. one question for visa extension , Do we need to add copy of COE in the document list. Or Only COE code in application itself is enough.
They know on the system what you studied so the code alone should be enough. If they want more they will ask
Thank you sir for prompt reply
I'm an offshore candidate and a civil engineer. My total point is 85 for 189. Age 28, Superior English, 6 years of professional experience (already assessed by engineers Australia). I lodged my EOI on January 11 2024. It has been 8 months still got no invitation. Im giving NAATI exam to increase my point to 90 (189 visa). Despite being Civil Engineer profession on Top Demand, the invitation process is very slow.
Carl i just wanted to ask is the wait worth ?
Will i get the invitation?
Im really stressed out.
Will the skill in demand visa for core skills and essential skills need any work experience 6months or 1year? or none?
It is rumoured to be 12 months but we will have to wait and see
How will the skills in demand visa provide a transition to PR
Same as now, the 186 rules will be adjusted to include the SID visa
Hi Karl, I will be graduating this November. Unfortunately I am not eligible for
485 due to 35 age cap. I am feeling frustrated. What are the best possible options I could pursue?
Hmmmm, depends upon a few variables bt many are using the 407 visa. Please book a time to discuss
Thank you
@@ailsaustraliai have been seeking the sponsor for 407 visa for almost a month but yet not found any company interested. It is also not an easy way and my degree is useless without work experience since i need a license and for that i need at least a year of work experience. It is so pathetic and torturing.
So let me get this straight, the Australian government have looked at the housing crisis in Australia and thought -Yeah, na, yeah what housing crisis? why would we need more trades to help with a housing crisis when you can buy a tent at Bunnings
Seems so
Is the government going to phase out 190/189/491 subclass visas?
No not likely
In skill in demand visa update they Also mention that self access to nominate permanent resident in addition to employer sponsor pathway for example reformed point test) what is that sir likesame 186 in new one or something new can you please give me a hint
Is there any changes in 482 visa after Phd? And lecturers are still on list?
Currently for the 482 visa, yes
@@ailsaustralia thank you for the reply. Sorry my mistake actually I wanted to ask “Are there any changes in 485 after Phd and university lecturers are still on the occupation list?
Hi Karl, very helpful videos as always. Just hoping that the Specialist Stream will also have age exemption for TRT or 186. Also now that the 482 visa will be being changed, will there be an option for 482 to have the opportunity to transition to TRT if they've been with the company for 5 years And now turning 50 since when we arrived here still at 44 years old like someone who arrived here as direct entry 190? Thank you as always! GOD BLESS!
It may have something like that but that would require a change to the 186 regs. Fingers crossed for you.
@@ailsaustraliai hope they also visit the trt as more will still be permanently temporary
you really do need to curtail immigration though, just look at canada
Probably not but the reason for the housing crisi has not been told
No transition period for 485 visa for 35 years is a big disappointment! Australia has a country has let down a lot of hard working students and have blood on their hands. Ridiculous labour, never voting them again.
At least no 485 visa for new students is understandable not for the existing ones. Ffs 🤦♂️
Yes what she did was outragous and has left a bitter scar on many people. She was never fit to hold a Ministers position
There really should be a grandfather clause for this. Students are punished for not sticking with what they agreed to when they came here (if you were here during Covid, you’ll know what I mean), but the government can engage in what anyone would call fraud, and it’s alright. *slow claps*
@karl Can we apply this skill demand visa if we are currently holding 485 graduate visa?
Omg hope so,I am waiting for these visas!
Yes
Hello karl, I got my sponsor nomination approved short term as a baker, applying visa next month ? If new list comes it effects on me if occupation not on the list ?
It will have no effect so relax and hope it gives you a good pathway to PR
Since the news of international students cap was in the air, I started the process asap and got my CoE earlier this week.
The course starts in 5 months (Feb 2025), but I've since been informed that the department advises against applying earlier than 3 months before the course commences as it will not be assessed as a priority.
What should I do? Apply early anyway and hope for the best or wait/waste another 2 months while we might see even more restrictions?
It will be assessed on its merits but at this stage no one is sure how the system will actually work. We wish you the best of luck
@@ailsaustralia thanks for the feedback, really appreciate your work.
Hi karl having a 75 points in vic but have not got invite. What do you think should i go for 491 visa.
Yes that may be a better choice I think but it may also depend upon the occupation
@@ailsaustralia ECT occupation
Thank you very much Karl for your detailed information and your brilliant analysis🙏.
I'm Australia RN currently living and working in Uk, my employer applied 186 nomination or invitation since 2 months now, but sadly it has not been approved.
My question is, how long does it take or the timeframe for 186 nomination or invitation application to be approved?.
Thank you
comeon. 2 months is too soon to expect an outcome. Be patient
Thanks for the positive feedback! You can expect up to six months for priority occupations so hang in there!
@@ailsaustralia alright, thank you Karl for your reply🙏
Thanks Karl!
Thanks, your welcome
Thanks for the another informative episode 🙂
Thanks as always Hasitha!
Found this video randomly. While I understand and it seems totally unfair for new aspirants, the government didn’t promise any Permanent Residency for students. The law can change every time and we cannot control as it is in their administration. This is in regard to 485.
The students should notice this before and even with the GTE declaration or whatever now, you’re agree that you’ll be here temporarily.
I came through these processes before, the skilled migration should be actual skilled migration, in merit of having proper employment here or having substantial experience in their nominated occupations.
189/190 is messed up like a point competition game rather than skilled migration. Many people using these visa for doing odd jobs rather than securing proper job.
Might sound racist or gatekeeper but I’m an immigrant too, came through all the processes and I saw the unfairness for actual skilled workers and high capability students who secured proper employment (not odd job) and deserve for staying here with 189/90. Luckily, I got 186 by accidentally and all settled now.
Anyway, thanks the agent, for update and useful news, although I already passed the time there, I can forward these news to my friends,colleagues too.
Fantastic job Karl, thanks for the content.
You welcome, thanks for letting us know
Jason Clare reminds me of the officials in my home country Iran

Hi Carl, I am 30 years old now, I am studying master's in IT now but in my country, I have done my bachelor's and master's degrees in the civil engineering program. What do you think about this is it wrong? Can I get a point if I apply for 190 or 186 in my civil engineering profession? This is my first semester in here now. What is your recommendation for me? Thanks
Please book a time to discuss complex matters, thanks
For people above 35 , who cannot obtain subclass 485 visa. Is there anything else that we can do or just be a victim of this situation? Please suggest
@@flemingmeendee6917court case is the best possible option but we do not know the procedure also we cannot be just victims for long time as we have already invested lot of money and it's really hard now.
Hi, I got my phd from Uni Melbourne and NZ citizenship. Will the new immigration law affect me? Thank you.
Doubtful since you have already finished study
if you are nz citzen then you can just get the SCV visa and apply for australian citizenship after 2 years of staying in australia with SCV
there is no restriction for you
@@anywaytechreview wow, cheers mate, have a great day
I've been hearing about Australia's skill shortage for the past decade despite politicians increasing immigration into Australia. They drove rent up cause there's not enough homes, so people look inland. Then force people to work from the office within the CBDs, increasing congestion. Then double down by lowering the speed limit. All to satisfy the top % who own half of Australian housing.
They tax Australians to pay for freeways and then sell them to private companies who then make us pay tolls and some bullshit admin fee. They give away Australia's natural resources all to buy it back at a higher price anyway. Then people ask why their utility bills have risen so much.
Corruption is wild
There is always room for improvement that is for sure
When the studentcap starts next Jan or july
Not sure yet
Apparently in Jan 2025, but we might need official confirmation just to make sure.
They won’t hit the big companies price gouging, and they won’t stop international millionaires from purchasing property in Australia!
yes more needs to be looked at
Hi karl i am based in geelong did ECT from vic uni and doing job as a ECT and lodged an eoi at 75 points but have not got invite yet. Any advive will be appreciable thanks
I would be considering the 491 visa
what is the eligible visa for me. im in srilanka. already my bf apply 186 pr sponser visa. we are getting marry after pr. so what is the eligible parner visa. subclass 820 or 300
And how many processing times
No transition period for the 485 visa for those over 35 years old? For students who have invested millions of dollars in their education and left their families, this decision is simply unimaginable, Karl.
Yeah I know I wanted to make that comment too and should have
Too bad I can’t get the 485 visa anymore 😢
😢
I still don’t get it, what’s so special about being 35 that they’re not allowed that visa???
I don’t understand the narrative behind making conditions easier for subclass 186 visa when the processing times are unreasonably slow. Many of us literally stuck in big cities with our employers that we have been working for 4-5 years without ability to ask payraise, if they’d approve our visa maybe i’d find a better job with higher salary which would generate more tax for government, or move to a city which have less population density.
Instead they keep the risk of visa withdrawals due to changes on business or employment by having 16 months and probably more processing times. This is such a huge waste of time, energy and money for both government and applicants.
Yes the 186 must be a priority along with a few more other visas like the 191
My 485 visa is expiring soon can I apply tourist visa while waiting for invitation? Please help.
But the universities make huge profits from international students also. So of
Course they are going to be upset. The government refuse to help Australian’s study! They all got their free degrees! Everyone else has to pay!
Yes I think the unviversities can use their profits to offer cheaper courses to local students and then there would not be so many complaints
it seems that pharmacists arent anymore required , 80 points waiting from last year and no sponsorships available either , it's been a waste of time and money

Heard there was webinar for agents for NSW skill migration FY2025.
Can you please let us know if they have decided to get a similar list as FY2023 ? Occupation list ?
You will know when we know
Based on the information published by other migration agents, there will be some major changes in FY 2024-2025 compared to FY 2023-2024. NSW will publish more details in late September and open the program on October.
@@estellebright2579 thanks bro! Do you know which migration agent posted this ? Any idea ?
@@Aplegsmax its from a non-English migration agent company. And they didn’t publish too much details. But from what I see, there are lots of upcoming changes to NSW nomination this year.
@ailsaustralia Hi Karl, I am one of the victims of Graduate Visa age cap, i have been seeking the sponsor for 407 visa for almost a month but yet not found any company interested. It is also not an easy way and my degree is useless without work experience since i need a license and for that i need at least a year of work experience. It is so pathetic and torturing.
You should not have to expereince such trauma. Hope thing work out the best for you and sorry from all of us on behalf of all normal fairminded Australians
Very excellent video and extensively informative as always Karl. I am a fan here. Thank you for your empathy for international students. I hope the Minister will be reminded how rampant the mental health problem here in Australia. They're very much concern of the wellbeing of their people but not for international students especially for those over 35 years old whose been here since last year and has been contributed already to the economy. How is that? So disappointing outrageous!. I am one that cannot be eligible for 485 visa and I am on my final term now of my expensive Master's but my dream soon be remained as a dream. Mournful for our family our children in our home country. 😪
I can only hope that somehow they may change their minds but it seems a very distant hope. Very sorry for what they have done to you and your family and everyone in similar situations
I nearly have depression for waiting so long for our contributory visa it says 42 months pandemic came says 6 years now again 7 to 8 years now hopefully our papers not included 7 to 8 years all my 4 children and inlaws and 10 grandchildren are in Sydney they all have a good job ,just so annoying
Yes the successive governments approch to parent visas leave alot to be desired
I am working as chef and would apply 482 next month with essential stream?
the 482 will still be around next month I'm sure. As long as the nomination has been lodged you will be safe

What did he watch?
I have 80 points in total for 190 and 90 for 491 for the same course and located in WA, I applied less than a month ago. I asplied in graduate stream, let us see how it goes.

What about the students who enrolled because they promised 5 years 485. At least they should consider students who enrolled before july. I feel cheated😢.
Your absolutely right, they did cheat you
They cheated many of us, man. If I had known they would turn out this way, I would have never considered coming to Australia.
Hi Karl.. I’m lost when many are saying that work experience will be 1 year for 482 Visa when there are speculations about its abolition. Thanks for the informative videos and advocacy on the issues caused by the recent Visas updates.
I feel the one year rule will be for the new SID visa when it comes in, not for the 482 visa. But you never know for to change the 482 requirement is preety easy
Why don't you stop accepting international students altogether, especially from South Asia, and watch your businesses go downhill when you don't find anyone for labor work and cleaning duties?
I am pretty sure they will be crying to get the students back to perform such work, as you all know that all the great Australians and New Zealanders, who are migrating more than students, will never work in such sectors.
And students causing a housing crisis is the most amazing joke of the decade.
I think this government has forgotten that Australia was in a housing bubble just 3-4 years ago. And suddenly they have a housing crisis because of students? What a joke...
Meanwhile, there are more than 100,000 ghost apartments and houses in Australia, and the government is just blind to those things.
Yes their approach leaves much to be desired
GoodJob:-)😊
Thanks! BTW thanks for being first
I am sorry about students graduatin without a work visa. However, students coming here saw a easy pathway to work, those are the ones who are suffering. They invested in the studies to get the work visa. Those students must be aware of the risk that the requirements will always change one way or another. You have no right at all to blame the Govt. They did not owe you a living and the interest of the nation comes 1st.
I have spent about 84k for my tuition fees alone and now I have to return home poor and broken because of labor party's unfair and dirty policies...
Really sorry to hear this. Sorry on behalf of all fair minded Australians
Hi Karl. I've been watching your channel for nearly 2 years now. After waiting for my PR visa in Australia for over 5, my wife daughter and I recently came to Japan, we applied for my spouse visa onshore at the immigration office. The staff even helped us fill it in, at the total cost of $40AUD. It took exactly an hour, they even made my residence card while we waited.
Australia is a joke and a scam, I've lived, and I mean lived in 5 countries now and visited over a dozen, and Australia has to be the biggest joke and scam of them all. From the immigration department to the youth crime, to the exuberant cost of living. I'm wouldn't waist my time energy or finances. All I can say is more people should move to Japan, it's amazing here.
And to all of those who are expecting a miracle from the Australian government, don't hold your breath l, the place is being run buy criminals 😂
Yeah I know it is a joke in comparison.
I scored 75 for civil engineering.
I lodged EOI
I watched JULY EOI, all points 90 for civil engineers.
I stopped hoping😂😂 if i want to apply i atleast need superior english. I lost it to reading writing, 78 77 scored in PTE
I saw the same for social work, lowest invited was 85 points when it's been 65 all the past few years
You need to wait and see what happens in the next couple of rounds for this FY to get an idea of any patterns. Best of luck
Time to brush up the English skills. 😉
I wonder if that international cap would affect those on temporal visa (485 or 494) with unlimited rights to study and work to enrol to study in any course in TAFE or any other Uni.
No it will not
international student cap is on international student only
He has messed this country with student visa cahos, especially, from India, and is now trying to fix it, once the horse has bolted.
