🇦🇺 Australia 6‑Month Temporary Work Visa (Short‑Term Options) – July 2025 Update

Planning a short-term stint in Australia this year? Here’s what you need to know about the 6-month work visa routes now available:

💼 Visa Options

• Subclass 400 – Short‑Stay Specialist Visa
Ideal for niche professionals (engineers, scientists, consultants) working on short-term projects. Standard duration: up to 3 months; occasionally extended to 6 months. No employer sponsorship needed. Processing time: ~10–30 days

• Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (short‑term stream)
For skilled workers in hospitality, trade, IT, agriculture, etc. Sponsored by an employer, valid for 6 months or longer depending on the stream. Processing: 1–3 months

🔁 6-Month Rule & Exemptions

If you hold a Working Holiday (WHV) or Bridging visa, condition 8547 generally limits you to 6 months with one employer. However, exemptions apply if you're working in critical sectors (agriculture, health, aged care, tourism, etc.), in different locations, or in Northern Australia industries. You might also request special permission for extensions.

Bonus: remote or multi-location work can reset your 6-month count.

📆 Recent Policy Updates

On July 1, 2025, Australia increased key skilled visa salaries (TSMIT) to AUD 76,515 and lifted processing fees slightly. Tightened application scrutiny also means better documentation is essential.

✅ Who Should Apply?

Professionals in engineering, IT, hospitality, trades, agriculture—especially for brief or project-based assignments

WHV holders seeking to extend employment in approved sectors

Employers facing urgent skill gaps and seeking rapid hires

📌 What to Do Next

1. Choose the visa that fits—Subclass 400 for self-contained, niche jobs; Subclass 482 (short-term) if you have employer sponsorship.

2. Check if your intended sector qualifies for WHV extension exemptions (e.g., agriculture, healthcare, tourism).

3. For WHV holders, consider remote work or multi-location roles to exceed 6 months if needed.

4. Prepare complete documentation: job offer, sponsorship (482), medical/character checks, evidence of sector, payslips or contracts.

5. Apply now before delays increase — especially with new policy rollouts and mid-year enforcement.

This is a great opportunity for skilled workers looking for short-term roles in Australia — now with more clarity and flexibility. Plan ahead, meet the criteria, and make the most of it!

🇨🇦 Canada PGWP 2025 Update — Major Changes to Eligible Study Programs!

If you're an international student planning to stay and work in Canada after graduation, this update is crucial. Starting June 25, 2025, Canada has revised the list of non-degree study programs that qualify for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

🆕 What's New in the PGWP Program?

Canada’s immigration authorities have added 119 new programs to the eligible list — mostly focused on high-demand sectors like:

Healthcare

Education

Skilled Trades

STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math)

At the same time, 178 existing programs were removed because they no longer align with Canada's labor market needs. This brings the current number of eligible programs to 920 — specifically for diplomas, certificates, and college-level bachelor's programs.

However, there’s good news!

📢 On July 4, 2025, the IRCC announced that these program removals are temporarily paused. That means the 178 removed programs are still eligible for PGWP — until early 2026. This gives current and future students a buffer period to adjust their plans.

🎓 Who is Affected by This Change?

Students in non-degree programs (such as diplomas, certificates, or some college bachelor's degrees) will now need to ensure their program is included in the eligible list of fields to qualify for a PGWP.

If you're enrolling in 2025 or later, check your program’s CIP code (Classification of Instructional Programs) with your institution and confirm its status.

If you're already in a program that:

Started before November 1, 2024, or

You applied for your PGWP before June 25, 2025,

✅ You are exempt from the new field-of-study rule.
✅ You remain eligible for a PGWP under the previous guidelines.

If you’re studying for a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD degree, you do not need to worry about the field of study. These degree programs are still fully PGWP-eligible — no matter your major or subject area.

📌 What Should You Do Now?

Contact your college or university and confirm your program’s eligibility.

If you're considering applying to a diploma or certificate program, choose carefully — focus on fields like healthcare, education, trades, and technology.

Apply early to benefit from the transition period before stricter rules resume in 2026.

💬 This is a key moment for international students. Choose your field wisely, secure PGWP eligibility, and build your future in Canada. 🇨🇦

Tax-free income, with attractive salary packages and benefits like housing allowances and air tickets.

Emerging Megaprojects, booming energy, healthcare, tourism, and tech sectors.

⚠️ Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Mismatched salary or job code in e-contract vs. quota lead to rejection

Skipping health insurance upload

Hiring by unregistered or non-compliant companies results in delays

Beware of fake visas—never pay third parties for work permit without official sponsorship. Inclusory only through Qatari employer.
