Latest Australia and Migration News

Australia, over the years, has been continuously accepting thousands of migrants. However, with the goal to grant “exceptionally skilled” migrants and to ease the pressure on big cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) slashed 2019-20 immigration intakes from 190,000 to 160,000 slots.

For this fiscal year, visas for Skilled Independent (Subclass189) has been reduced also from last year’s 43,000 to 18,500, but 23,000 places will be given to high-caliber migrants who are willing to relocate to regional areas such as Adelaide, Darwin, or outskirts of Sydney. These movements have really caused fears that many people who want to migrate to Australia from Singapore or elsewhere may never become permanent in Australia.

Over the past years, migrants-to-be can easily obtain their Australia Permanent Residency (PR) Status by just satisfying the criteria set by the immigration department.

A country is made of its people. These people could be natives of that country or immigrants. Immigration is a great way of strengthening a country in terms of talent and service. Immigrants help in meeting the demographic’s needs of a country. However, there are varied concerns around immigration such as racism, congested commutes, costlier housing and a fear of handling a multicultural society due to which immigration becomes a matter of deeper ambivalence.

Doing the Australia Immigration application by yourself can be so stressful. It is important to take the correct steps right at the very beginning to avoid hindrances that could cost you time and money.

It is no doubt that Australia Immigration rules and regulations are getting tougher each year. Come new fiscal year and whatever the results of the national election going to be, we are still expecting some changes to happen in its immigration legislative.

While it may seem like impossible for you now to penetrate into the nation already as an Australian Permanent Resident (PR), we beg to disagree.

The new fiscal year in Australia is yet to begin, but a number of Immigration rules and regulation changes are already out. Truth be told, but it is really not easy now as opposed to processing your application four to six years ago.

While Australia has been welcoming thousands of migrants each year, the government conducts yearly reviews of its legislation to address both population growth and Australian citizens’ employability rate. It may impress upon that the nation is making it tougher and tougher for people wanting to migrate to Australia from Singapore or elsewhere to penetrate, but immigration specialists such as NTRUST advocates in favour of your criteria, providing not just temporary solutions.

The current points system will be revised and will take effect in November 2019

It will introduce a revised points system for the subclass 491 visa as well as existing General Skilled Migration (489,189,190) visas. Points will be given for attributes that are linked with the applicant’s ability to make the greatest economic contribution, keeping the main purpose of the skilled migration programme — to maximise the economic benefits of migration to Australia and to only approved high caliber applicants.

The new fiscal year,2019-2020, has yet to begin and new government officials are unidentified yet, but a number of changes on the Australia Visa Application process have been implemented already.

Certainly, Australia has been welcoming thousands of migrants each year. However, with the goal to address nation’s population growth and to protect Australian citizens’ employability rate as well, revisions such as new Immigration cap, modification of Skilled Occupation Lists, and regular reviews of the regulations are being set by the government, making it more tougher for people planning to migrate to Australia from Singapore or elsewhere to meet the criteria.

Despite the ever changing rules and regulations with immigration process, the nation has always been providing a lot of job opportunities in the past few years, both for citizens and people who are intending to migrate to Australia; in fact, an alternative pathway to low skilled migrants was recently made available.

According to the report published by the Department of Jobs and Small Business, more opportunities in the Healthcare and Social Assistance are projected to increase in the next five years to come. Furthermore, industries such as Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, Constructions, Education, Accommodation and Food service have also they fair share of contribution in the employment growth of the nation.
