Matrix will not be prioritized or issued invitations based on personal circumstances. This includes but is not limited to, visa expiry dates or changes in circumstances including critical birthdays.

Also, surpassing the minimum cut-off ranking score is an indication only, and does not guarantee an invitation to apply for Australia PR. Candidates who had previously received an ACT nomination or did not have an active application in the system - did not receive an invitation to the draw.
