457 visa: Government to cut occupations list for skilled migrants

The list of jobs that overseas workers can fill under the 457 visa program is set to be cut by the Australian Government.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has indicated the Government will cut the list of occupations for which skilled migrant visas are available.

It follows a push from the Opposition for greater restrictions.


Mr Dutton told Sky News that the list — which includes more than 650 occupations — is currently being reviewed.

"I think the list at the moment is expansive and I think we'll condense it and that work has already been underway for some time and we'll have a look at that very soon," he said.

But Mr Dutton defended the program, highlighting its use outside major cities.

"It is very hard to get people in regional areas," he said.


The list includes occupations such as teachers and journalists, professions which have both experienced oversupply in labour.

Print, radio and television journalists are listed, as well as other writers, though none appear among the most popular occupations applied for.

Like bellong said; have yu considered emigrating from naija straight, rather than via M.Eng? Check if yu meet the minimum 60pts for Engineering
Age, IELTS, 1st deg, work experience, wifey work experience etc; if yu do, why not work ur PR from naija? Know personally some folks that did it from naija (three different families)

How long dose it take before pr is issued?

I wanted to include sop but was told by a friend who have gone through this journey not 2 use it... I used a lot of documents e.g home ties, landed properties and building, above 17m as statement of account.

I don't have that time to exchange words with you bro... I told u i was busy all this while. I'm a greedy fellow but came to this forum to talk about getting my grant... instead of asking questions that can help you and others in this visa application, you never did but just interested in criticising me for not coming on 28th to talk about this news... well bro is alright.
