Brief introduction of immigration tide

At the end of August, 2009, the Australian federal government released the immigration plan report for fiscal year 2008-2009. In the last fiscal year, more than 230,000 people arrived in Australia for permanent residence, an increase of 65,438+02.8% over the previous year. In addition, the number of temporary residents such as international students and backpackers continues to climb, reaching more than 650,000. The rapid increase in the number of immigrants has caused an unprecedented wave of immigrants in Australia. In response, the Australian government adjusted its policies in a timely manner, and the Australian Department of Education, Employment and Labor Relations and the Australian Department of Immigration evaluated and summarized the shortage of jobs. Although the specific content has not yet been announced, we can still get a glimpse of the trend of skilled immigrants in Australia in the second half of the year from the immigration plan report.

Minister of Immigration: It is up to the employer to decide whether to accept immigrants.

According to the immigration plan report released by the Australian federal government on August 3rd, 2008-2009 (July, 2008-June 30th, 2009), * * * 232,598 people arrived in Australia for permanent residence, an increase of 1 2.8% over the previous fiscal year. In the last year, the number of temporary residents reached 657 124, an increase of 1 1%, among which the number of international students increased by 15% to 320368, and the number of backpackers increased by 22% to 154 148.

The surge in temporary population has caused an unprecedented immigration tide in Australia. Evans said: "The number of immigrants absorbed this year reflects the current economic situation in Australia. We must ensure that employers can obtain professional and technical talents that are still in short supply in various industries. " In the face of international students who want to compete for permanent residency after arriving in Australia through temporary residence visas, the Australian government has made a policy statement: who can come to Australia is up to the employer.

The immigration plan report released on August 3, 20091also shows that as a part of the category of skilled immigrants, the number of skilled immigrants sponsored by employers has soared by 60%, reaching 38,026, accounting for one-fifth of Australia170,000 permanent residents.

It can be seen that under the influence of the financial tsunami, although immigrants in Australia are generally in a tight situation, "employer guarantee" is the only immigrant visa that has not been affected. Not only did it not reduce the number of places, but it also received the attention of Rudd's government, and gradually increased the immigration support capacity of provinces and territories to fill the particularly serious technical shortage.

In fact, this was first seen in June 5438+February 65438+July 2008 when the Australian Immigration Department adjusted its immigration policy. In the new policy, "employer guarantee" is listed as "priority processing application", which can speed up processing.
