Landscape Architect — Australian Capital Territory Nomination

Landscape Architect in Australian Capital Territory — nomination overview

Landscape Architect (ANZSCO 232112) appears on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and is eligible for state nomination in Australian Capital Territory under the ACT Skilled Migration program. Skilled migrants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may be invited to apply once Australian Capital Territory opens invitations for this occupation. The ACT requires applicants to live and work in Canberra and typically requires evidence of an ACT job offer or a credible plan to find employment in the territory. Skills assessment from VETASSESS is required. VETASSESS, the skills assessment authority for this occupation, evaluates qualifications and work experience against Australian standards for the occupation. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test and satisfy health and character requirements. Two pathways are available: the Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa, granting permanent residence on grant, and the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa, which is provisional and requires three years of regional residence before the applicant can apply for the Subclass 191 permanent visa. State nomination adds five points for Subclass 190 or fifteen points for Subclass 491. Nomination processing in the ACT typically takes six to ten weeks, and visa fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
