The ACT Migration Application portal allows you to submit, view previous, edit, and pay for Canberra Matrix submissions.

Once you submit the Canberra Matrix, you will receive an email with a summary of the Matrix score claimed. You can also view your Canberra Matrix at any time in the portal.
Managing Existing and Previous Canberra Matrix Submissions
When you go to ‘Canberra Matrix Submissions’ you will find an overview of the Canberra Matrix submissions you have lodged. Here you can pay for, update, view, or withdraw your Canberra Matrix submissions by selecting the downward pointing arrow to the right and then selecting the action you want to take.
There is no charge to update or withdraw a Canberra Matrix and you can do so until the Canberra Matrix submission is invited or lapsed.
Once you update the Canberra Matrix, you will receive an email with a summary of the Matrix score claimed. You can also view your Canberra Matrix at any time in the portal.
To view previous Canberra Matrix submissions, you may have to adjust the filters, which you can find above the Canberra Matrix submission overview.
Manage your ACT Nomination Application
If your Canberra Matrix is selected, you will receive an email inviting you to apply for ACT nomination. Once the invitation is issued, an ACT nomination application will be automatically generated in the ACT Nomination Application Portal.
Submit a new nomination application
Once invited, you must complete and submit your application through the portal and pay the service fee within 14 days of receiving the invitation by following these steps:
- Step 1: Go to ‘ACT Nomination Applications’
- Step 2: Go to the application in question, click on the blue downward arrow to the right, and select edit.
- Step 3: Fill out all the requested information and upload your supporting documents.
- Step 4: Confirm the information is correct and pay the application fee.
Once the service fee payment is confirmed, your application will be queued for processing. If your application is not submitted within the 14-day period, the invitation will lapse and expire.
Managing Existing and Previous Nomination Applications
You can find your applications by logging in to your account in the ACT Migration Application portal and navigating to ‘ACT Nomination Applications’ where you can view past applications and edit, withdraw, or pay for current applications.
After you submit your application, you can track your application progress in the ACT Nomination application portal by adjusting the filters above the application overview from in progress to awaiting decision or all applications. If you identify any error on your application or are concerned about the accuracy of your SkillSelect EOI, you can withdraw your application in the portal at any time before your application is finalised.
You will not be able to request any update or withdrawal of your application after you have been nominated.
