To effectively manage the ongoing high demand for NSW nomination, a selection-based invitation process is being used. Candidates cannot directly apply for NSW nomination and must be invited to apply for NSW nomination.

During an invitation round, EOIs in are ranked within an occupation code in order of:

1. Point score

2. English proficiency

3. Years of skilled work experience in your nominated occupation

The highest-ranking EOIs up to the number of places available for a given occupation are generally issued an invitation to apply.
