Terminology

Hi DD,

The best place to get a full explanation of all the terminology (and there is a lot of it - you're right!) is www.immi.gov.au, which is the Immigration Department's web site. It is a very useful place to go anyway, if you're thinking about a move here.

Cheers, Ajay

Can anyone give me a basic rundown of what all the terminology is? Like 457, RSMS etc etc...

Hi there

As Ajay suggested I think it would be worth your while to have a look at the immi site, as you will get a good idea of the different visas and explanations. Its well worth downloading the booklets as you will find them a great source of reference and will answer many questions.

Here are a few things you might come across on the forum which might help in the meanwhile.

SOL - Skilled Occupation List

SSASSL - Sydney and Selected Areas Skill Shortage List

ENSOL - Employer Nomination Scheme Occupation List

IELTS - English Language Test

ENS - Employer Nomination Scheme

RSMS - Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (This allows employers in regional or low population growth areas of Aus to fill skilled postions that they are unable to fill from the local market.

457 - This is a temporary 2 or 4 year visa, where a company applies to be able to sponsor skilled people to fill skilled positions. The employer has to meet certain requirements eg, hire certain amount of PR and pay a minimum wage etc. The employer can then nominate individuals which meet their requirements and then the individual or the employer can then apply for a visa for that individual.

RPL - Recognition of Prior Learning

ASCO Code - Is the Occupation Code The ASCO dicitionary is avalble from The Australian Bureau of Statistics - www.abs.gov.au.

Good Luck
