Invitations for 457/482 Visa Holders

Matrix Nominating Critical Skill Occupations

ACT have invited the candidates from Matrix Nominating Critical Occupations. All Invitations are issued to Canberra Residents only according to the Critical Skill List, which would be favouring to recover the COVID-19 Impacts. Here is the subclass-wise invited occupations list.

The score ranking does not give any sort of guarantee for the nomination because the ranking may base on the matrix submission date and timings.
The reasons Invitations may not issue

• If the monthly cap is meting the criteria for the occupation
• if the candidate’s application status is active in the system or he/she has received a nomination previously from the ACT.

Those occupations are not getting an invitation in this round then they need to wait for the next round. The occupation list may be reset in the month of February 2021.
