So in theory the projected visa allocation for the current program is
Independent skilled 56%
Employer Sponsored 21%
State/Territory Sponsored 7%
Family Sponsored 10.7%
Business 5%
and according to The Minister's announcement on the 17th December
The current target of 133 500 places in the Skilled Migration Program will
remain as a ceiling.
The Government will keep the program under review through the remainder of
2008-09. The Government will therefore retain the ability to cap the number of
grants below the original target if necessary.
Around 80 per cent of employer-sponsored visas are granted to people who are
already living and working in Australia on temporary visas. Fast-tracking the
grant of these visas will provide greater certainty to employers and ensure the
program does not contribute to local unemployment.
Encouraging employer sponsored permanent visas
The Government will prioritize and improve the processing of employer sponsored
visas.
These visas have very good employment outcomes for the migrant and are
directly responding to the skill needs of industry.
In addition, 80 per cent of employer-sponsored permanent visas are granted to
people already here, almost all of them on a Subclass 457 visa. They have
proven their skills, have an employer who wants them and are keen to remain in
the country.
For these reasons the Government is very supportive of employers using the
sponsored permanent visa and will ensure that the processing of applications is
streamlined as much as possible.
The Government will be encouraging employers with Subclass 457 visa holders
in jobs that cannot be filled locally to consider sponsoring those workers for a
permanent visa.
so of the 21% for employer sponsored 16.8% are onshore ie. applicants already in Australia and 4.2% would be coming with sponsorship from outside Australia.
of the 56% for independent I estimate that maybe 6 % maybe qualify for CSL.
So with ENS, State/Territory, and CSL. about 34% qualify for priority under the new rules
And I dont think that the 16.8% onshore ENS is processed at Adelaide
