On 11 May 2011, the Australian Government announced the implementation of the Skilled Migration Selection Register – SkillSelect.
　　2011年5月11日，澳大利亚联邦政府公布将实行技术移民筛选登记制度（简称“技术筛选”– SkillSelect）。
In today’s blog we will address the who, what, when, why and how of SkillSelect for the independent skilled and family sponsored skilled migration programs.
　　今天在移民部博客中，我们就独立技术移民和家庭成员担保技术移民程序“技术筛选”制度的一些问题作出回答。

What is SkillSelect? 什么是“技术筛选”制度？
SkillSelect is a new skilled migrant selection register that will ensure Australia can select the best and brightest skilled migrants from a pool of prospective migrants. It is based on an electronic two-stage process whereby prospective migrants first submit an Expression Of Interest (EOI) and may then be invited by the department to make a skilled migration visa application.
　　“技术筛选”系一种新的技术移民筛选登记制度，以使澳大利亚可以从潜在移民库中选择最佳及最适合的技术移民。它基于一个两步骤的电子程序，潜在移民先递交一份技术移民意向书（EOI），然后移民部可能向其发出递交技术移民签证申请的邀请函。

Why SkillSelect? 为什么设立“技术筛选”制度？
SkillSelect will build upon and draw together the suite of reforms made to the skilled migration program over the past several years. It will deliver the skills Australia needs by matching the best and brightest prospective migrants to the available places in the migration program.
　　“技术筛选”制度的设立综合了近几年技术移民程序改革之大成，适应了澳大利亚从潜在移民中选择最佳及最适合的技术移民的需求。

How will SkillSelect operate? 怎样实施“技术筛选”制度？
Prospective applicants first submit claims for skilled migration through an online EOI and then may be invited to make a visa application. It is important to note that an EOI is not a visa application; it is an expression of interest in being considered for migration. All prospective applicants will be required to have met the relevant English language standard and obtained the necessary skills assessment before submitting an EOI.
　　潜在申请人先在网上递交技术移民意向书（EOI），然后有可能获得可以申请签证的邀请函，需要特别注意的是，技术移民意向书（EOI）并非签证申请，只是一个希望移民澳洲意向的表示。所有潜在的申请人在递交技术移民意向书（EOI）之前，均需符合英语语言标准并获得了技术职业评估证书。
People will be invited to lodge an application on the basis of their EOI. Applicants will be ranked according to their points test score and the time they submitted their EOI. The highest ranking applicants will be invited to apply each month. An occupation ceiling will exist that will cap the number of invitations to apply for migration in the points tested visa categories by occupation so that we can ensure that the program covers as many occupations as possible on the Skilled Occupations List.
　　移民部根据申请人的EOI决定是否发出可以递交申请的邀请函，申请人按照移民打分测试分数的高低以及技术移民意向书（EOI）递交的先后顺序排队，每个月排在前面的申请人将获得邀请函。对于需要通过移民打分测试的移民种类，且在技术移民职业清单（SOL）中的一些职业，将实行邀请函数量的封顶政策，从而从制度上保证使SOL清单中的职业尽可能多地得以充填。
SkillSelect will ensure a match between the number of applicants, the number of available program places and the available processing resources. This will streamline processing times.
　　“技术筛选”制度可以保证申请人数量、移民名额和受理工作人手三方面互相契合，这将缩短受理时间。

Who will SkillSelect affect? “技术筛选”制度将影响哪些人？
All prospective applicants for Independent Skilled, State/Territory/Family Sponsored or Business Skills visas will need to submit an EOI and receive an invitation before they can apply.
　　独立技术移民、州政府担保或家庭成员担保技术移民、商业技术移民需在申请前递交EOI并获得邀请函。
People who have lodged a visa application before SkillSelect takes effect and whose applications are pending processing, will have their application processed in accordance with any priority processing direction in effect at that time.
　　在“技术筛选”制度生效前已经递交签证申请者，如果尚未获签将按照当时有效的优先顺序予以受理。

When will SkillSelect be implemented? “技术筛选”制度从什么时候实行？
SkillSelect will commence on 1 July 2012. As of this date, new applicants for Independent, Family or State/Territory Sponsored or Business Skills migration will need to submit an EOI and be issued with an invitation before lodging their visa application.
　　“技术筛选”制度将从2012年7月1日起实行，自该日起，新的独立技术移民、州政府担保或家庭成员担保技术移民、商业技术移民需在申请前递交EOI并获得邀请函。
Transitional arrangements currently apply to certain people who, on 8 February 2010, held or had applied for a Skilled Graduate (subclass 485) visa. This group will still be able to apply for a permanent skilled visa under the current system until the end of 2012.
　　现行过渡性安排适用于2010年2月8日持有或已申请毕业生技术移民签证（485类别）者，他们在2012年年底之前仍然可以申请现行的永居性技术移民签证。
In our future blogs we will address some common questions about SkillSelect and the impact it will have on the State and Territory Sponsored, Business Skills and Employer Sponsored migration programs.
　　在我们将来的博客中，我们还将回答“技术筛选”制度方面的一些共同性问题，及其对州政府担保及商业技术移民、雇主担保移民程序的影响。
