    Why Teachers Don’t Get Invited for Skilled Migration to Australia

    Good catch — you’re absolutely right. YouTube descriptions do need the same legal protection, and it should be explicit, standard, and consistent with SOLVi’s wording. Below is the corrected YouTube description, keeping everything SEO-strong and adding your proper legal disclaimer at the end, cleanly separated so it doesn’t interfere with search indexing. Many teachers lodge Expressions of Interest for skilled migration to Australia and wait — sometimes for years — without ever receiving an invitation. In this episode of Making Australian Migration Easy, Australian immigration lawyer Rhea Fawole, Principal Lawyer and CEO of SOLVi Migration, explains why teachers don’t get invited for skilled migration to Australia, even when they meet the eligibility criteria. This episode explains: • Why Australia’s skilled migration system is competitive, not a queue • How teachers are actually assessed for skilled migration • The role of AITSL skills assessments • Why English test results directly affect invitation outcomes • Why many eligible teachers are never selected This episode is for teachers who want to understand what is really stopping invitations — and what Australia actually prioritises when selecting skilled migrants. 🔍 If you are seriously considering independent skilled migration and are prepared to approach the process properly, you can complete the eligibility assessment here: https://solvi.net.au/gsm-eligibility-check ⚖️ If you already know that you want tailored legal advice on your migration options, you can book a paid legal consultation with SOLVi Migration here: https://www.solvi.com.au/book-a-consult 🎧 Making Australian Migration Easy is a podcast by Australian immigration lawyer Rhea Fawole, helping skilled professionals understand Australia’s migration system clearly, accurately, and strategically.
