2020年12月1日，北领地官方消息宣布：由于澳州移民局2020/21财年的州担保配额还未下发至各州，而北领地之前所拥有的的过渡配额名额有限，现已用完，因此，北领地目前只能先暂停接收新申请，在12月1日之前已递交的申请将会继续受理，但是州担保提名需要等移民局分配配额后才能发放。
2020/21 program year update
The Australian Government is yet to allocate nomination quotas to states and territories for the 2020/21 program year.
The Northern Territory (NT) was provided a very small interim allocation, which has now been depleted. This means that the NT Government is currently unable to issue nominations under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program.
In light of this, the NT GSM program is now suspended until further notice for all new applications . Applications for nomination under the Business Investment and Innovation Program remain open.
GSM nomination applications received before 1 December 2020 will continue to be assessed. However, please note that even if your application is successful, you will only be issued a nomination once the Australian Government has allocated quotas to the NT.
Given the uncertainty in allocations for the current program year, there is no guarantee that all applicants who meet the NT nomination criteria will be nominated.
If your current visa is about to expire, you should note that your nomination application may not be finalised before your visa expires. It is important that you remain lawful at all times and obtain professional migration advice on options available to you.
We look forward to your continued interest in the NT’s skilled and business migration programs and we will provide updates as soon as additional information becomes available.
