Citizenship update

Posted on October 25, 2017 by CCMS - News

The Minister of Immigration is going forward with plans to reintroduce an amended version of the Bill, with a proposed introduction date of 1 July 2018.  The English language test will be amended to a ‘modest’ level of English.

Applications made before 20 April 2017 will be assessed against the eligibility criteria current at the time of application.

Applications made before 1 July 2018 will be assessed against the eligibility criteria current at the time of application.

Changes to the criteria will take effect from 1 July 2018, if the legislation is successfully passed.

If you currently are eligible for Australian Citizenship under the old rules, I suggest you lodge an application as soon as possible.
