Australian Capital Territory (ACT) government is set to reopen the Skilled Migration 190 visa nomination program on 29th November 2018. The ACT government has introduced a new merit-based nomination program named as Canberra Matrix that awards applicants point based on their tie with Canberra and skills in demand in the ACT.
As per the information shared by the ACT government in the second week of November, there are 12 different factors that determine points on this merit-based nomination system. Those factors are Length of residence in Canberra, English language proficiency, Spouse/partner English language proficiency, and Nominated occupation (open or closed). Further determining factors are, Length of current employment in Canberra (not tied to nominated occupation), ACT employment type, Spouse / Partner employment in Canberra, Education (can be in Canberra, interstate or overseas), Canberra education, Grandfathering of applicants who arrived to live in Canberra on or before 29 June 2018), Assets in Canberra (personal or business and unencumbered), and Close family ties to Canberra. Applicants would be awarded based on their strength and tie ranging from 5 points to 20 points on each base. Here is the point distribution:
