由于经济危机、失业率上升等原因，澳大利亚移民局部长于2009年3月16日宣布削减14%移民配额。3月17日，移民局就推出了全新的关键技术移民(CSL)清单。清单中已砍掉了电子设备维修工、飞机维修电子及机械维修工、煤气安装钳工、墙面和地板瓷砖工等TAFE专业。不过，本科及硕士专业如会计、计算机、工程师、健康类等专业没有变化，依然独领风骚，非常抢眼。

　　从此次调整可以很明显的看出，移民局在处理谁先移民的态度上，已经把TAFE类专业再次摆到次要位置。未来就读关键技术移民清单(CSL)上本科及硕士专业的学生移民将非常快捷，而学习TAFE技工课程的学生将变为候补，要等剩下的移民配额，因此移民申请需要等待更长时间。
