When do I start applying?

It is advisable to apply as early as possible once you have decided to migrate to Australia. The main reason is that one of the basic criteria for eligibility assessment is age, i.e. the younger you are the more points you get. Another reason is that the Australian migration regulations change regularly, which may make it increasingly more difficult for you to migrate.
