最新的SOL职业清单利好中国留学生，众多中国学生留学澳洲最多选择的会计，IT，工程，护理，幼儿和高中教师等职业仍然在独立技术移民的SOL职业清单中。
五大专业被移除
药剂师的两类职业，医院药剂师Hospital Pharmacist、零售药剂师Retail Pharmacist、飞机维修工程师Aircraft Maintenance Engineer的三类职业航空电子Avionics，机械Mechanical和结构Structures共五个职业不再在独立技术移民的职业清单SOL上。
无论是对境内留学生，还是对境外的中国申请人，目前的澳洲独立技术移民GSM申请其实在一个很宽松的条件下，和很多人误以为目前澳洲移民很难的感觉恰恰相反。简单的说，总分要求降低了，只要60分而不是原来的65分。EOI的邀请比预料的快，从递交EOI到移民签证成功我们有20天就完成的案例。留学生的英语能力普遍提高，有NATTI和PY职业年等多种加分方式等等。
