The latest changes of skilled migration policies in Australia and Canada

In the past month, news of the new policy of skilled migration came from Australia and Canada, which are favored by Chinese people. Australia has introduced a new accounting immigration policy since the 5. 17 policy. Although Canada has reduced the priority occupational categories of skilled immigrants, the following policies are biased towards staying in Canada, which is good news.

Australian PY helps immigrants

In Australia, the Immigration Bureau recently released a new accounting immigration policy on 1 this month. Education IELTS "four sevens" is no longer the only way for accounting immigrants-after graduating from accounting, students with IELTS "four sixes" can apply for a transitional 485 work visa; During the period of holding a 485 visa, you can get extra points for immigration if you reach 7 points in IELTS or complete one year of major (hereinafter referred to as PY).

It is understood that PY is a service project specially approved by the Australian government for overseas students. Planned and implemented by professional institutions, closely related to the industry, focusing on employment, can help students obtain employment opportunities in the selected industry. The professional annual course of accounting major is jointly organized by the Australian Institute of Certified Public Accountants, ICAA and NIA, who are responsible for managing SMIPA. The 44-week * * PY course offered by an institution recognized by the Immigration Bureau must meet the requirements of the institution, such as the attendance rate and internship required by the class time, and finally get the PY graduation certificate. This course consists of business communication, Australian work experience, 12 weeks professional internship (work experience), industry-related professional training, membership of professional institutions and 44-week projects approved by the Australian Immigration Department. If the applicant does not meet the qualification to apply for general skilled immigration (that is, 885 visa), he can get 10 in this way, so as to achieve the purpose of applying for immigration.

Foreign students benefit from skilled migration and political reform.

Immigration Canada recently announced 29 priority occupational categories for federal skilled immigrants, 9 fewer than the 38 priority occupational categories announced in June 2008 (1 1). Among them, 1 1 is a new occupation, such as biologist, architect, dentist, pharmacist, psychologist and social worker.

It is understood that the Canadian Immigration Department listed 38 priority occupations in June of the previous year at 5438+065438+ 10 according to the manpower demand in the domestic market. Skilled immigrant applicants must meet these professional needs, or have been offered jobs by employers, or have stayed in Canada on a student or short-term work visa. According to the analysis of study abroad consultants, before the first quarter of 20 10, this method of giving priority to occupational categories was quite effective, but in the first three months of this year, the backlog of skilled immigrants in Canada soared to 33 190 again. At the same time, among the original 38 priority occupations, a number of them are already in short supply, and the number of applications far exceeds the demand of the Canadian market. Immigration Canada finally decided to readjust the list of priority occupations after considering various situations and Canada's future manpower needs and consulting with various provinces. The occupations such as financial manager, computer information system manager, financial audit, accountant and geologist, which were originally listed in 38 priority categories, will all be "out".

Lawyers believe that the decrease in the number of successful applicants for skilled immigrants is due to the increasingly strict examination and approval by the Federal Immigration Department. Although there is no written explanation, the Immigration Department has limited the number of applicants (only 20,000 this year) and reduced the number of industries that are in short supply (for example, there was no industry category restriction years ago, and it was suddenly announced that only 38 occupations were accepted, and it was further reduced to 29 last week). Many China applicants failed to meet the requirements in English, resulting in insufficient scores. He believes that the government hopes to transfer the global number of skilled immigrants to professionals who have completed higher education in Canada through policy adjustment.
