AUSTRALIAN ROI

An ROI is supposed to submit by candidates who wish to get selected for Victoria’s skilled visa nomination. If an ROI has already been submitted for the 2022-23 program, the candidate must submit another ROI to get elected for the 2023-24 program. The ROIs will be there in the registered system until they are chosen, withdrawn, or when the year ends. The last submission date for the ROI is May 05, 2023.

HOW IS THE ROI SELECTION PROCESS DONE? 

The government analyses the selection process of the ROIs based on multiple factors which includes information based on the candidate’s Expression of Interest (EOI). The primary factors taken into consideration are as follows:

• Age
• Proficiency level in the English language
• Total work experience in your nominated or chosen occupation
• Educational qualifications
• Level of skill expertise in the chosen occupation
• Skills of spouse/partner (if applicable)
• Salary (for onshore applicants only)

The ROI selection will be prioritized according to the occupation categories given below:

• Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM)
• Healthcare and social services
• Chef, Cook, accommodation, and Hospitality Managers – in case of the 491 visas
• Advanced manufacturing, digital and innovation economy
• Early childhood, secondary and special education teachers

CAN I SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE ROI?    

• Only one active ROI can be submitted at any given time.
• Submitting a definite ROI for each of the subclasses is not allowed. If you wish to modify the submitted ROI, you will be required to withdraw the present ROI and give in a new ROI.
• Candidates residing outside the country can also get selected along with the applicants in Victoria for the Subclass 190 visa in the eligible occupations.
• Candidates living offshore are also eligible to apply for the subclass 491 visa along with Victoria residents. The health occupation is currently prioritized by Victoria subclass 491 visa nominations.

MAJOR ELIGIBLE OCCUPATIONS

The Department of Home Affairs (DHA) maintains a list of occupations. Post-pandemic, all the occupations listed by the DHA have become eligible for visa application without the need to acquire STEM skills. The decision was taken to fill Canada’s workforce and labor shortage. 

The lists of eligible occupations are as follows:

• Health 
• Medical Research 
• Life Sciences 
• Digital 
• Agri-food 
• Advanced manufacturing
• Energy, Emissions Decrease, and Circular economy
• Creative industries 

The table given is the list of occupation titles and their respective codes.
