Computing professions are now listed on the CSL.
The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) finally updated the Critical Skills List today, to the relief of many computer professionals.
When the DIAC announced changes to the Australian immigration procedures last month, the Migration Occupations in Demand List became defunct, leaving many people who had occupations in the MODL in the dark as to their chances of a successful Australian visa application.
It was stated that the CSL would be replaced with a new Occupations in Demand list that would be viewable by April. The CSL would be gradually phased out and replaced with the new list by the middle of the year. However this left many IT professionals in a quandary.
Computer professionals had to have an occupation listed in the MODL in order to qualify for the CSL. With the MODL gone this was now impossible to achieve.
After weeks of worry and anxiety those computer professionals can now heave a sigh of relief as the DIAC finally get round to updating the CSL – and including many computing occupations on the list.
So if you work in IT and have been worrying about your visa application, you can now view the updated CSL.
Migration Agent and member of the Embrace Community Susan Wareham McGrath had been predicting that the DIAC would do just this for weeks and she was delighted to be able to share the information with our online forum.
