澳大利亚457工作签证是澳大利亚雇主提名担保海外专业人士或技术工人来澳工作以填补劳工市场职位空缺的一种临时工作签证。对于申请457签证是否需要做职业评估,移民局是根据申请人的不同情况而决定的。下面就为您一一介绍。
首先让我们来看看移民局是怎么操作的:
For 457.223(4)(e) the visa applicant may be required to demonstrate that they have the skills necessary to perform the occupation for which they have been nominated. If an applicant is required to demonstrate these skills, officers are to specify the manner in which this demonstration is to occur. Under policy, certain applicants are required to demonstrate they have the requisite skills by providing the outcome of a 457 visa skills assessment. This assessment is specific to the 457 visa. The formal skills assessment and qualifications recognition process undertaken for skilled migration applications is not required for 457 visa applicants unless specified in policy.
以上的意思是一般来说不需要,只有特定的申请人(certain applicant )才需要职业评估。 只有在TRA可以做skill assessment 的职业和护照持有人才需要做457职业评估。
In some circumstances, officers may exercise their discretion to not require a 457 visa skills assessment from a visa applicant who would otherwise have been required under policy to do so. Officers may consider exercising this discretion if the visa applicant:
• currently holds a 457 visa as a primary sponsored person and is currently employed in the nominated occupation in Australia or
• holds the relevant Australian qualification (Certificate IV or above) for the nominated occupation, gained by studying in Australia or
• holds a relevant qualification that is commensurate with the level indicated in ANZSCO for the nominated occupation and was gained by studying in a country that would not be subject to a 457 visa skills assessment normally or
• holds the relevant Australian licensing/registration for the nominated occupation or
• seeks to fill a nominated occupation which is an intra-company transfer and is currently employed in a similar occupation for the same company overseas.
Each case is to be considered on its merits. For example, even if a visa applicant meets one of the exemptions described above, it is still open to officers to require the visa applicant to provide a 457 visa skills assessment, if officers have bona fides concerns.
The occupation of Armature Winder is classified by ANZSCO as a specialisation of Electrician (General). Visa applicants who will be working as Armature Winders and would otherwise be required to complete a 457 skills assessment should be given the option of providing written evidence from the relevant licensing body of either holding the licence or their eligibility for licensing on arrival in Australia.
以上的意思是457 skill assessment 豁免的情况, 包括:
1 原457持有人
2有相关澳洲学历c4以上的持有人
3 其他认可国家学历 (比如欧美学历)
4 有澳洲职业证书 (比如护士注册)
5 公司内部调动
一般CO是不要skill assessment ,但如果人品不好也可能要。
可以替代的职业评估包括:
Where an applicant who would be required under policy to complete a 457 visa skills assessment provides evidence of having successfully completed one of the following types of skills assessments they should not be requested to also complete a 457 visa skills assessment:
• Offshore Skills Assessment (OSAP)
• Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR)
• Job Ready Program – Final assessment
Conversely, TRA Migration Skills Assessments and Job Ready Provisional Skills Assessments are not acceptable as alternatives to the 457 visa skills assessment.
Australian Recognised Trades Certificates (ARTC) are issued for a specific purpose and are not acceptable to be used for migration purposes, therefore an ARTC also cannot be accepted as an alternative to the 457 visa skills assessment.
If an applicant submits any other alternative type of skills assessment, officers may seek advice from the Employer Sponsored Policy Section, National Office as to whether a 457 visa skills assessment is still required.
一般来说,我们都建议直接做OTSR,不然移民的时候可能又要做新的职业评估。
