Australia’s Skilled Migration Program is currently the subject of an inquiry by the Joint Standing Committee on Immigration. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on skilled migration with over 500,000 temporary visa holders having left Australia resulting in significant skills shortages.
Have you ever wondered which country tops the list for migration to Australia? Well according to the latest figures for the 2016/2017 year released by the Federal Government, some 38 854 skilled or family visas were granted to migrants from India – that’s just over 20% of all migrants.
New South Wales Skills Minister John Barilaro has highlighted the need for more foreign workers as almost half the nation’s young apprentices drop out of their training.
The Australian government added panel beaters and cabinet makers to the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) which means they can apply for a visa under the country’s skilled migration programme.
