Hi Krunal, I’m currently living and working in Victoria and planning to submit my ROI for the Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa. As Victoria considers all occupations from the Department of Home Affairs skilled occupation list if the applicant is already working in Victoria. Also, based on your experience, could you suggest which occupations currently have higher chances of receiving a nomination in Victoria — particularly between Civil Engineering Technician and Geotechnical Engineer?

Between Civil Engineering Technician and Geotechnical Engineer for Victorian Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) visa nominations, Geotechnical Engineer generally has a higher chance due to its inclusion on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which is prioritized more by Victoria. Civil Engineering Technician tends to be on shorter or lower demand lists, making Geotechnical Engineer a more competitive occupation for nomination if all other criteria like skills assessment, points, and commitment to living in Victoria are met. Also, residing and working in Victoria boosts nomination chances for both.
