What the official sources say
-
The Skilled Migrant Category needs a full-time job with an accredited employer and one of three pathways, including a points-based one.
Checked against the official pages on 8 November 2026. Rules change, so JO confirms the current position before you rely on it.
What this page does not tell you
Which occupation code your job maps to, whether it is currently eligible, and how many points or what score you would need. Those depend on your exact duties and on lists and thresholds that change, so JO confirms them for your case rather than guessing here.
