本人看了一下原文,见:http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/g ... ion/gsm-reforms.htm,发现有这句话:For the provisional GSM visa subclasses, the threshold English language standard will be raised from an average score of IELTS 5.5 to an average score of IELTS 6. The change will affect applicants for the subclass 475 Offshore Skilled - Regional Sponsored and subclass 487 Onshore Skilled - Regional Sponsored Visa.说明475的英语平均成绩由5.5分提高到6分了。但是,随后又出现了这句话:The increased English language requirement will apply to all new offshore GSM applications lodged after 1 July 2009 with Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) Level 4 nominated trade occupations.这又说明这一政策只是针对技工的。综合起来,再与标题:Changes to GSM English language requirement for trade occupations相对照,我得出一个结论:本次英语成绩的提高,涉及475,但只是475中以技工为提名职业的人,而不是所有的475申请者。以上见解当否,请高手指教。
