特赦政策的9萬名額，4萬名額分配給畢業生類別，剩餘的5萬名額分配給有醫療相關或者必須職業（essential occupation）工作經驗的申請人。這個必須職業，不是大家認為的高端職業，很多C、D類的服務類行業都是涵蓋在內的，包括收銀員、送餐司機、清潔工等等，具體請參考列表。
申請分A和B兩類。A類2萬名額優先針對至少有一年醫療相關工作（列表A）經驗的申請人，B類3萬名額針對必須工作（列表B）一年或者醫療（列表A）和必須（列表B）混合一年工作經驗的申請人。簡單理解就是A可以申請AB，B只能申請B。
申請於5月6日開放，11月5日或者名額用完後截止。
整體來看申請門檻也是極低的，所以都戲稱“大赦”，申請要求如下：
1. 申請之前三年內，至少積累一年全職或者等效兼職的工作經驗
A類：一年工作經驗必須是醫療相關（列表A）
B類：一年工作經驗可以醫療（列表A）和必須（列表B）結合
