HAVE YOU EVER HAD YOUR STUDENT VISA CANCELLED BETWEEN 1 JULY 2007 TO 16 DECEMBER 2009 BASED ON A SECTION 20 NOTICE? THEN READ THIS…
On 2 March 2010, the Full Federal Court handed down a significant decision from 2 cases, which declared invalid the automatic cancellation of student visas based on Section 20 notice (issued under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (Cth) “the ESOS Act”). As a result of this decision, all student visas that have been automatically cancelled under section 137J of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) (“the MA Act”) on the failure to respond to an issued section 20 notice from 1 July 2007 to 16 December 2009, are considered ineffective.

Trade Recognition Australia (TRA) Policy Changes
TRA is a governing body that has the authority to determine the standards against which the skills of a person are assessed for pre-migration purposes.
September, 2007, saw the TRA suspend pathway ‘D’ pending a review. Since then TRA have undertaken a review of the assessment criteria, policy, operational and service delivery arrangements. The review has led to the development of the TRA Migration Assessment Policy (MAP), which replaces UAC.
What is MAP?
- Sets out TRA assessment standards and procedures
- Outlines TRA policy for dealing with feedback, reviews and appeals
- Provides information on TRA’s fees and processing times
