2011年5月10日澳洲移民局推出 EOI 申請(qǐng)模式。這項(xiàng)政策將在2012年7月1日實(shí)施，屆時(shí)澳洲技術(shù)移民申請(qǐng)步驟將被改變。

 EOI申請(qǐng)模式的主要內(nèi)容是：移民局通過(guò)引入這個(gè)選擇性的模塊作為刪選系統(tǒng)，來(lái)自動(dòng)調(diào)配移民申請(qǐng)者的份額以及相關(guān)職業(yè)的分配額，并發(fā)布相關(guān)的邀請(qǐng)函，來(lái)決斷申請(qǐng)者是否有資格進(jìn)入下一步的申請(qǐng)。申請(qǐng)人首先需要在線遞交移民意向書(shū)（EOI），然后根據(jù)移民局設(shè)立的相關(guān)系統(tǒng)的審核，如果滿足各項(xiàng)澳洲技術(shù)移民的要求，就能夠獲得邀請(qǐng)函，然后才能夠遞交技術(shù)移民的簽證申請(qǐng)。簽證類別為175，176，885，886，475，487將會(huì)受到影響。

 

 澳洲聯(lián)邦政府計(jì)劃將2011-2012財(cái)年的永久移民數(shù)量增加至18.5萬(wàn)，其中約三分之二的名額為技術(shù)移民。其中偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)的移民申請(qǐng)將特別優(yōu)先審理，以解決當(dāng)?shù)毓椭餍枨?，鼓?lì)邊遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)移民。而這次出臺(tái)新的挑選技術(shù)移民的模式，也是移民改革的重要一步。其目的是為了更有效地提高移民審核的效率，加快移民審核的速度，分散移民專業(yè)和地區(qū)的集中性。同時(shí)也有利于政府把握對(duì)未來(lái)國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)、地區(qū)和職業(yè)需求的準(zhǔn)確率，從而能有效快速作出相應(yīng)的調(diào)整。

 Proposed Skilled Migrant Selection Model (the Model)

The following information relates to the government’s decision to implement a new skilled migrant selection model based on an Expression of Interest (EOI) and invitation to apply. The proposal is in an early stage of development and consultation. Although the key features are settled, further changes are possible and the following must not be taken as a final description of how the new selection model will operate. In particular, no action of any kind should be taken on the basis that this will be the final model. The minister may recommend to the Governor-General in-Council amendments to the Migration Regulations 1994 to give effect to the final model.

The Skilled Migrant Selection Model

The Australian Government has decided on a major reform in the way Australia selects skilled migrants, the Skilled Migrant Selection Model (the Model). The Model will build upon and draw together the suite of reforms to the skilled migration program over the past three years. In doing so it will deliver the skills Australia needs by matching the best and brightest migrants to the available places in the migration program.

The Model will be an electronic system based upon a two-stage process. Prospective applicants first submit claims for skilled migration through an online EOI and subsequently may be invited to make a visa application. This is a significant change from the current situation, as applicants for independent or state/territory sponsored migration will be required to receive an invitation in order to lodge a visa application.

Once invited, the Model will ensure a match between the number of applicants and the number of available program places. This will result in streamlined processing times.

Foundations and benefits of the Model

The fundamental principle underpinning the Model is that the skilled migration program is determined by the economic needs of Australia. As such, it is necessary for the Australian government to manage who is able to apply for skilled migration, when they are able to apply and in what numbers, on the basis of this need. It is proposed that the Model will allocate all places in the independent skilled migration program to the prospective migrants, those who score highest on the points test, in each eligible occupational group.

A key benefit of the Model is the ability to address regional skill shortages. The Model allows prospective migrants to nominate their willingness to live and work in regional Australia. This will be of particular benefit to employers experiencing regional skills shortages and state and territory governments attempting to settle migrants in regional Australia.

The Model will connect state and territory governments and Australian employers with potential skilled workers through a central database of prospective skilled migrants. This will help state and territory governments maximise the benefit derived from their state and territory Migration Plans. From the perspective of employers, the Model would assist in the resolution of skills shortages through quick and easy identification of prospective workers with the requisite skills and attributes, reducing advertising and recruitment costs to businesses.

Implementation of the Model

The Model is proposed to commence on 1 July 2012. As of this date, new applicants for independent, family or state/territory sponsored migration would need to submit an EOI and be issued with an invitation before lodging a visa application, unless eligible for transitional arrangements. The first round of invitations is expected to occur in January 2013.

Transitional arrangements currently apply to certain people who, on 8 February 2010, held or had applied for a Skilled – Graduate (subclass 485) visa. This group is able to apply for a permanent skilled visa under the previous system, until the end of 2012. There are no additional transitional arrangements in relation to the Model.

Visa subclasses affected by the Model

The visa subclasses which will be affected by the Model are:

• Skilled – Independent (Migrant) subclass 175
• Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) subclass 176
• Skilled – Independent (Residence) subclass 885
• Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) subclass 886
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) subclass 475
• Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) subclass 487.
   

All prospective applicants for these visas will need to submit an EOI and receive an invitation before they can apply.

 Prospective applicants interested in employer sponsorship would not be required to submit an EOI if they already have a sponsor. However, submitting an EOI allows employers to view their details and contact prospective applicants to discuss sponsorship opportunities. It would also allow prospective migrants who are sponsored on a temporary basis to be invited for either independent skilled migration or state/territory sponsored migration if eligible.

For those who have already lodged a visa application prior to the implementation of the Model and are pending processing, the department would process this application in accordance with any priority processing direction in effect at that time. A prospective migrant who has already lodged a visa application may want to submit an EOI in order to be connected to an employer or state/territory government.

 以下信息涉及到政府的最新決定，該決定與新的技術(shù)移民選擇體系有關(guān)，該體系將立足于移民意向申請(qǐng)書(shū)（EOI）和移民申請(qǐng)邀請(qǐng)函。該方案仍處于發(fā)展和協(xié)商的早期階段。雖然該體系的主要內(nèi)容已經(jīng)確立，但也可能作進(jìn)一步改變。因此以下敘述不能作為新選擇體系如何運(yùn)作的最后描述。特別需要指出的是，在最終的定案沒(méi)有出臺(tái)之前，任何人都不應(yīng)該就該體系采取任何形式的措施。部長(zhǎng)可以建議總督會(huì)同行政局修訂1994移民法以落實(shí)最終的體系模式。

 

技術(shù)移民選擇體系

澳大利亞政府決定在選擇技術(shù)移民的方式上做出重大改革，即推出新的技術(shù)移民選擇體系。新的體系將會(huì)建立在過(guò)去三年內(nèi)實(shí)施的移民政策，模式以及計(jì)劃的基礎(chǔ)之上，并進(jìn)行一系列的改革與修正。它通過(guò)匹配最優(yōu)秀的移民和移民計(jì)劃可用的配額，為澳大利亞帶來(lái)所需的技術(shù)人員。

 

該體系有兩個(gè)階段的電子系統(tǒng)。有意向的申請(qǐng)者首先通過(guò)網(wǎng)上遞交技術(shù)移民的意向書(shū)，隨后可能會(huì)被邀請(qǐng)作簽證申請(qǐng)。這是目前一個(gè)重大的變化，作為獨(dú)立的州/地區(qū)擔(dān)保移民的申請(qǐng)人須接受邀請(qǐng)，以遞交簽證申請(qǐng)。

 

一旦被邀請(qǐng)，該體系將確保申請(qǐng)人數(shù)和可用配額是匹配的。這將精簡(jiǎn)處理申請(qǐng)的時(shí)間。

 

該體系的基礎(chǔ)和益處

這個(gè)體系的基本原則在于技術(shù)移民計(jì)劃是由澳大利亞經(jīng)濟(jì)決定的。因此，澳大利亞政府必須按照經(jīng)濟(jì)的需求來(lái)決定誰(shuí)可以申請(qǐng)技術(shù)移民，什么時(shí)候可以申請(qǐng)移民，以及申請(qǐng)審理的優(yōu)先順序。該體系會(huì)將移民配額分配到獨(dú)立技術(shù)移民計(jì)劃內(nèi)的各個(gè)地區(qū)，分配到各個(gè)提名職業(yè)中，最后分給通過(guò)打分系統(tǒng)后得分最高的申請(qǐng)人。

 

該體系的主要優(yōu)點(diǎn)是能夠解決區(qū)域的技術(shù)工作者短缺的問(wèn)題。它允許未來(lái)的移民提名，他們?cè)敢庠诎拇罄麃喩詈凸ぷ鳌＿@一點(diǎn)對(duì)雇主和州以及領(lǐng)地政府都是特別有利的，它能夠幫助雇主解決技術(shù)工作者短缺的問(wèn)題，也可以幫政府在澳大利亞各個(gè)區(qū)域內(nèi)安置移民。

 

該體系將會(huì)通過(guò)一個(gè)包含所有申請(qǐng)人信息的中央數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)，將州與領(lǐng)地政府，澳洲雇主以及潛在的技術(shù)工作者聯(lián)系在一起。它將幫助各州和地區(qū)政府最大限度地從國(guó)家和地區(qū)移民計(jì)劃中獲益。從雇主的角度來(lái)看，該體系可以在短時(shí)間內(nèi)輕松識(shí)別申請(qǐng)人的必需技能以及技能水平，有助于解決技術(shù)工作者的短缺問(wèn)題，減少雇主的招聘和廣告開(kāi)支。

 

新體系的實(shí)施

該體系將于2012年7月1日開(kāi)始實(shí)施。除過(guò)渡性安排之外，獨(dú)立申請(qǐng)、家庭擔(dān)?；驀?guó)家/地區(qū)擔(dān)保移民的新申請(qǐng)者需要在遞交簽證申請(qǐng)之前提交一份意向書(shū)。預(yù)計(jì)第一輪的邀請(qǐng)將在2013年1月發(fā)出。

 

在2010年2月8日持有或已遞交485簽證申請(qǐng)的申請(qǐng)者，2012年底之前，可根據(jù)原來(lái)的系統(tǒng)申請(qǐng)永久技術(shù)簽證移民。

 

受該體系影響的簽證類別

以下簽證類別將受該體系影響

•     境外獨(dú)立技術(shù)移民 175

•     境外擔(dān)保技術(shù)移民 176

•     境內(nèi)獨(dú)立技術(shù)移民885

•     境內(nèi)擔(dān)保技術(shù)移民886

•     境內(nèi)申請(qǐng)的偏遠(yuǎn)地區(qū)臨居簽證 475

•     特定專業(yè)的海外學(xué)生3年臨居簽證 487

所有有意申請(qǐng)這些簽證的申請(qǐng)者，都需要提交一份意向書(shū)，并收到邀請(qǐng)，才可以申請(qǐng)。

 

對(duì)于有雇主擔(dān)保的申請(qǐng)人，將不會(huì)被要求提交一份意向書(shū)，因?yàn)樗麄円呀?jīng)有一個(gè)擔(dān)保雇主。但是，提交意向書(shū)會(huì)使雇主可以查看申請(qǐng)人的詳細(xì)資料，也有利于雇主和申請(qǐng)人商討關(guān)于擔(dān)保的事宜。從另外一個(gè)方面來(lái)說(shuō)，提交意向書(shū)也給只獲得短期擔(dān)保的申請(qǐng)人提供了更多可能，他們可能會(huì)獲得申請(qǐng)獨(dú)立技術(shù)移民的邀請(qǐng)函，也可能會(huì)獲得申請(qǐng)州/領(lǐng)地政府擔(dān)保技術(shù)移民的邀請(qǐng)函。

 

對(duì)于那些在該體系實(shí)施前已經(jīng)遞交簽證申請(qǐng)并等候處理的申請(qǐng)人，移民局將會(huì)根據(jù)當(dāng)時(shí)有效的優(yōu)先審理順序來(lái)審理他們的申請(qǐng)。已經(jīng)遞交簽證申請(qǐng)的申請(qǐng)人，可能需要提交意向書(shū)，來(lái)獲得雇主或者州/領(lǐng)地政府的擔(dān)保。
