@bk13 (1M ago| Updated 1M ago)Hi everyone,
My wife is currently studying Master of Information Systems (MIS) at ECU, but due to the high points requirement for 190/491 visas, weβre exploring alternative pathways. Weβre considering switching to Early Childhood Teaching (ECT) or Enrolled Nursing during our 485 TR visa (3-year stream) to improve our PR prospects.
However, weβre confused about which option would be better:
ECT β Many migration lawyers recommend this, but with so many people opting for ECT, is it still a safe choice for state nomination?
Enrolled Nursing β How does this compare in terms of demand, PR pathways, and state sponsorship opportunities?
Would love insights from anyone who:
Switched to ECT/Nursing on a 485 visa.
Has experience with recent state nominations (WA/other states) for these fields.
Can advise on long-term viability (e.g., oversupply risks, employer sponsorship options).
Thanks in advance!
