Australian Immigration offers more working visas

Australia has difficulties right now. It needs more hard working Skilled workers this year than at anytime since the 1940’s. Just as other Economies is going into melt down and people are looking for a life raft Australia may have just come to the rescue.

www.globalvisas.com a company specialising in Immigration across the globe has never seen such a high level of enquiry from British Citizens looking to leave the UK. Last year Global Visas made headlines in the UK due to the high levels of people enquiring about leaving the UK. This year has broken all records since the start of trading in 1994.

It is also noted that www.globalvisas.co.in is now seeing a change in peoples migration requirements. People are now more interested in Australia and USA than the UK. It seems the UK maybe next to face a real shortage of skills.

Australia’s economy cannot continue to grow without many more skilled migrants, Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans warned this week.

Even though Australia is a young country they do have an aging population which and many industries that require skills they can not service by simply training the young people in Australia.

Just like the UK and many western countries they aim to invest heavily in training and education for up skilling our own people but it will not be enough.

The fact remains the population is aging and the economy is growing at an unsustainable rate.

Fortunately due to the obvious attractions of Australia many people from the UK and other commonwealth countries wish to emigrate to Australia. So they are simply going to allow more people to go and work in Australia.

The number of new Immigrants will include 190,300 permanent employment migrants, 56,500 with family in Australia already and approx 50,000 on temporary skilled visas – coming to over 300,000 new skilled workers.

This is the largest increase in the number of migrants required in one year since the1940s.

Senator Evans said for the first time in the past year the workforce grew more from imported labor than from Australians taking new jobs.
