Episode Summary:A person can become an Australian citizen in different ways. Conferral and descent are the most common ways to become an Australian citizen provided you meet certain criteria before you apply. According to the Australian Citizenship Act 2007, a person born in Australia is an Australian citizen if and only if:a) a parent of the person is an Australian citizen or a permanent resident, at the time the person is born; orb) the person is ordinarily resident in Australia throughout the period of 10 years beginning on the day the person is born.In this podcast we shall explore what it means for a child to be ordinarily resident in Australia and how he/she may acquire their citizenship when they turn 10, regardless of their parent’s citizenship or immigration status.

Episode Summary: The new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) took effect on 7 Dec 2024 representing a significant policy shift and offering new immigration opportunities for both skilled workers and employers. The CSOL applies to Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482) core skills stream, which replaced the old TSS visa, and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) (Direct Entry stream). It brings about a significant change, especially for subclass 186 direct entry stream. The number of eligible occupations has now expanded from 216 to 456 across multiple industries opening new immigration pathways for various occupations. In this episode Amitava discusses the practical impact of the new policy and who will benefit from it. He provides details about certain occupations that were removed from the other 3 occupation lists that have now been added to the CSOL. Migrants who find their occupation on the new CSOL and are eligible for the Direct Entry Stream pathway of subclass 186 are the ones who would gain the most from the recent changes (retail manager, child care worker, data analyst. cyber security engineer, dev ops engineer, cyber security architect, film editor, film director, copywriter, photographer, cafe manager, restaurant manager etc.) There are certain prerequisites that migrants must meet to be eligible to apply for the 186 visa. Certain occupations have been removed and skilled migrants falling into that category have other pathways to continue to remain in Australia. Have a listen if you would like to stay informed about them and get to know what your approach should be in 2025 to make a life in Australia.

Episode Summary: On 3 Dec, the government announced a new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), a single consolidated list of 456 occupations, which applies to the core skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa that will replace the TSS Subclass 482 visa on 7 Dec 2024. Jobs and Skills Australia, whose role is to provide high quality data, analysis and insights on the labour market at national, state and regional levels, was tasked as consultants to the provide the government with a draft CSOL which would represent the skills Australia needs to meet the growing demands of the workforce. 3 draft lists were published: • Confident On List - 183 occupations • Confident Off List – 214 occupations • Target List for Consultation – 307 occupations Now the current list, as mentioned earlier, is a consolidated list of 456 occupations. In this episode, Amitava clears out all the confusion surrounding the draft CSOL and the new list published on 3 Dec, 2024. Further in the episode, he also weighs in the National Innovations visa which will soon replace the Global Talent visa.

Episode Summary: In today’s episode we discuss how one can apply for a carer visa to care for someone in Australia who has no reasonable access to care options. The two visa subclasses that fall under the carer visa category are subclass 116 and subclass 836, both of which are permanent resident visas. Join Amitava and me to understand how one can become eligible to apply for this visa, sponsorship obligations, and carer obligations..

Episode Summary: There are quite a few people who enter or lodge an application to enter Australia on a temporary visa as they are in a relationship with an Australian citizen or a permanent resident who sponsors the applicant’s visa. These visas could be Temporary Partner Visa (subclass 820), Provisional Partner Visa (subclass 309), Dependent Child Visa (subclass 445), Distinguished Talent Visa (subclass 858), or Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300). Sometimes, the applicant must cease their relationship with the sponsor as they have experienced domestic and family violence. The government of Australia defines Domestic and family violence as any conduct that makes you fear for your or your family’s safety and wellbeing. In such a situation, there are family violence provisions available to the victim(s). They may be eligible to apply for a permanent visa under such provisions provided the violence occurred during their relationship with their former sponsor who was also the perpetrator of the said violence. In this podcast, we discuss how a person can legally claim that he or she was a victim of domestic violence. Amitava details out the judicial process and what the DHA's role is to explore the veracity of the claim. He also shares his experience with a client who filed a domestic violence claim but was denied a permanent visa to stay back in Australia. When she reached out to him for help, he understood the backstory and challenged the outcome from DHA. She won the appeal after 3 years and is an Australian citizen now. If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please reach out to Amitava for help or call the emergency line 000.

Episode Summary: There are many people who immigrate to Australia at a young age, leaving their family behind. At a later stage in their lives, they are now keen to bring their parents over to Australia, permanently. There is no easy pathway to permanent residence for parents. The process is quite complex, costly, lengthy and currently takes over 40 years for their PR to be approved. If one is not careful, bringing parents over on certain visa subclass will make them ineligible to apply for a permanent residence forever. The age of your parent/s also plays an important role in which subclass they are eligible to apply for. In this podcast, Amitava shares his insights on the various parent visas available: their processing times, cost involved and salient facts about them. Parents also need to meet the balance-of-family test which Amitava touches upon in the later half of the episode. If you are keen to bring your folks over to Australia, then have a listen and share it with your friends who you think might benefit from this. Eligibility criteria to apply for a parent visa is a bit nuanced and if you aren't careful it will cost you time, effort, and huge visa fees which you won't be able to recover. If you are at a crossroads on how to bring your parent/s over, we implore you to listen to the full episode.

Episode Summary: Sumer Roy moved to Sydney, Australia in 2018 to pursue an MBA. About 2 months into University, he met with an accident and had to rush back home to Kolkata for his medical treatment. Upon returning he changed his program and enrolled in a master's program for a degree in professional accounting. In this podcast he talks about why he switched his program while at university, working as an intern at Telstra which eventually led to a full time role there, and securing his PR in Nov 2023.

Episode Summary: This week on Moving to Australia podcast, we sit down with Kelly Zhu, who secured her PR in Dec 2023 after her skills assessment was rejected by VETASSESS. Kelly moved to Australia from China in 2016 as a student. She graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Arts from Western Sydney University in 2020. Initially, the biggest adjustment she faced as a student was the transition from living with her family to living independently. At Uni, since English is not her first language, she had trouble understanding all that was being discussed in the classroom. She would translate all her assignments to Chinese to be able to work on them before they were turned in. She lucked out with her seniors as they would help her out in understanding the English language, and guide her with writing essays, which eventually helped her with her homework and other tasks. In 2016, finding accommodation was not much of a challenge in Sydney. Most students from China use a local app, through which they are able to find a room to rent. Renting a room and not an entire unit is a great way for students to save on their monthly expenses. Kelly recalls her challenges in finding an affordable place to rent, a good landlord, and trusting roommates. Fortunately, she was able to find a place for herself with an accommodating and welcoming family. After living independently in Sydney for a while, when she reflected back on her life in China, she appreciated that she could do things at her own pace and what she wanted to do. In China, there were certain expectations from family and less freedom to pursue a path of your own. Professional life is also quite difficult compared to Australia where she has more freedom and given more respect as an individual. Kelly started playing the piano at the age of 4. Teaching music to children in China was something she thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to pursue it further after coming to Oz. When she applied for her skills assessment, it was rejected by Vetassess. Her friends directed her to Amitava, who understood her background and prepared the necessary paperwork to appeal against it and got her skills assessment approved. Amitava shares his advice on the best way to get a positive skills assessment. Kelly emphasizes the benefit in seeking professional help for a VISA application or appeal. Failure to provide accurate information in your application can be detrimental, leading to added costs, anxiety and stress, so having an expert like Amitava can be invaluable. Kelly shares her backstory which led to her starting a music school - Music Bubbles. Apart from teaching children how to play the piano, she also performs at concerts, birthday parties, cafes, and restaurant. Her dream is to pursue a Masters degree in music and organize annual concerts for her students so they can showcase their talents, just like she has been able to.
