This chapter has been updated to reflect changes to the federal skilled worker provisions as per the recent regulatory amendment package. The following sections have been revised:
Section 6.2—Family members of skilled workers:
Clarifications have been made in keeping with procedures outlined in OP 2, Processing members of the family class:
・age of accompanying dependent children is locked in on date of application, but dependence is not. At the time of application, children over the age of 22 who are deemed dependent due to full-time study or mental/physical condition must still meet these requirements at the time of visa issuance;
・advice to the applicant that non-accompanying children in the legal custody of the spouse, exspouse or common-law partner should be examined if the applicant wants to sponsor them in the future, otherwise they will be excluded from the family class.
Section 9—Minimum requirements of a skilled worker:
As with full-time work experience, part-time work experience must be continuous for the one-year eligibility requirement of the class [R75(2)]
Section 9.2—Settlement funds:
・funds required include both accompanying and non-accompanying dependants;
・LICO levels updated.
Section 10.2—Education:
・guidance is provided on how medical degrees should be considered; essentially medical doctor degrees are generally considered first-level degrees in the same way as a Bachelor of Law or a Bachelor in Pharmacology.

・temporary work permit holders under R205(c)(ii), such as post-graduates and
spouses/common-law partners of temporary skilled workers/foreign students, are now eligible to apply for arranged employment points under R82(2)(b);
