Analysis of the points based system: List of occupations skilled to NQF level 4 and above for Tier 2
Migration Advisory Committee, 2011
This report recommends a shorter list of occupations eligible for migration under Tier 2 of the points based system. As part of its review of the immigration system, the government raised the threshold for Tier 2 visas to 'graduate level' and commissioned the MAC to examine which occupations should qualify. The government asked that the MAC use the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 4 and above as the relevant benchmark. The shorter list of occupations means that Tier 2 applicants will only be able to apply for jobs covering the most skilled 39 per cent of the labour market rather than the previous 56 per cent.
