A PR points invitation is a formal notification from the Department of Home Affairs issued through SkillSelect. It authorises applicants with competitive scores to apply for skilled migration visas such as subclasses 189, 190, or 491. Invitations are based on ranking, occupation ceilings, and available program places. After receiving an invitation, applicants must lodge a full visa application within 60 days, providing supporting documents that match their claimed points. Failure to do so may result in rejection. Invitations are competitive and reflect labour market demand.
