Brief introduction of skilled immigrants in the United States

In 2009, affected by the financial crisis, the employment market in the United States, Canada, Australia and other immigrant countries was sluggish, and several major immigrant countries stepped up restrictions on the import of ordinary skilled workers, raising the threshold for skilled immigrants. For example, the list of skilled immigrants published in Canada has been reduced from more than 380 to 38 now, and the majors are more concentrated in very unpopular majors such as "mining engineer", "plumber" and "physical therapist". Obviously, the policy of tightening skilled migration is to give priority to protecting the employment of our citizens. But for China applicants who intend to apply for skilled migration, it means that the difficulty and threshold have been greatly improved. It is reported that skilled immigrants account for a considerable proportion of all kinds of immigrant applicants. After immigrant countries raise the requirements for applicants' language ability and work level, the chances of applicants winning the lottery will be greatly reduced.

In addition, the original processing cycle of skilled immigrants is long, and it is likely to become "indefinite" in the future.
