About Canberra Matrix

The Canberra Matrix is a points-based system used by the ACT Government to rank and select skilled migrants for ACT nomination. The Matrix assesses various factors including:

  • Length of residence in Canberra
  • English language ability
  • Employment status and occupation
  • Education qualifications
  • Additional factors such as spouse skills and community connections

Invitation rounds are typically conducted monthly, with the highest-ranking candidates receiving invitations to apply for ACT nomination.
