🌟 Thinking about moving to Canberra? Calculate your Matrix Score now! 🌟

If you’re planning to apply for ACT 190 or 491 nomination, calculating your Matrix score is a crucial step! We’ve broken down the Matrix Score Calculator so you can navigate your way to success! The Canberra Matrix is a points-based system for ACT nomination, rewarding factors like skilled employment, English proficiency, and ACT residency. It prioritizes applicants who contribute economically or show a strong commitment to the ACT. Before submitting, ensure you meet all criteria, as scores can't be changed post-submission, and the Matrix is valid for six months. If invited but the documents don't support your claimed score, your application will be refused.
