18/03/2016

Less than a month after announcing that 34 occupations had been opened on its skills list to reflect a growing demand in the communications, construction, finance, hospitality and nursing sectors, the ACT has confirmed today the closure of its nomination prgram to overseas applicants.

Over the last 2 years, the ACT skilled migration program has given priority to Canberra residents working in skilled occupations or their immediate family living overseas who can demonstrate good employment prospects in the Territory and the program will remain open for ACT residents.

Dear Grahame and Team I just wanted to thank you all for your hard work and commitment over the past few months in obtaining my permanent residence visa for Australia. Before choosing Concept Australia, I researched other visa companies offering their services, however, none were as honest and as knowledgeable as you and your team were.Your experience with Australian visas, and from having lived in Australia set you aside from anyone else. I found your approach very professional from the offset, which I greatly thank you for. Kind regards Edward Hodge.
