Mate no mention of this in the PBS. I guess you do not need points to qualify for the LRC but rather the number of years accumulated in terms of residency be it the old system or a combination of both.djc wrote:Hi ,
I know it is speculative but can anyone tell me whether the 10 year ilr shall still be there in the new PBS. Any info shall be appriciated. Cheers
What if they scrap it completely?jes2jes wrote: I am of the opinion that the LRC is not going to change anytime soon even with the introduction of the PBS due to the fact that, it is going to take another decade for anyone to qualify if it is introduced now.
Crikey! Harsh! I have plenty of clients who are academics, or doctros who have switched from student to permit free and back again, who qualify and who are certainly employable.Wanderer wrote:
Seems to me the majority of people who are eligible are the perennial students who limp from course to course to rack up the ten years. Or am I being cynical!?
Even those that are genuine long term students maybe aren't employable assets in the immigration scheme of things? Who wants to employ someone almost thirty who's never worked?
Nice one. Not that alone. Others have had a combination of different visas (WHM, Student, WP etc) and would not be intentional to use the LRC.VictoriaS wrote:Crikey! Harsh!

And besides, for someone to have been a student for 10 years they must have a lot of money!
