Piotr Ferenc, agent imigracyjny Pacific Center, informuje o zmianach dot. listy MODL

From 22 September 2009, the Migration Regulations 1994 ('the Regulations') are amended to provide the Minister with the power to specify a migration occupation in demand in relation to a visa class or subclass and by reference to specific characteristics.

These changes will enable the Minister to specify the visa class or subclass for which an occupation is a migration occupation in demand, and to describe an occupation by reference to specified characteristics, such as a minimum English language requirement.

In the new MODL, which is expected to be announced next month (November), the Minister can specify that

• a certain occupation will be considered a MODL occupation for a specific visa class;
• a specific occupation will be considered a MODL occupation for a specific visa subclass within a visa class;
• an occupation will be a MODL occupation by reference to specific characteristic like requiring applicant to have proficient English

The effective date of 22nd September suggests that we may expect the above mentioned details and characteristics for MODL occupations in the new MODL to be announced soon.
