The Rudd Government is reforming the permanent skilled migration program

Taas tulee muutoksia ehtoihin Skilled Viisumin saamiseen.


Monday, 8 February 2010
The Rudd Government is reforming the permanent skilled migration program to ensure it is more responsive to the needs of industry and employers and better addresses the nation's future skill needs.
The reforms will deliver a demand rather than a supply driven skilled migration program that meets the needs of the economy in sectors and regions where there are shortages of highly skilled workers, such as healthcare, engineering and mining.

Ministerin Media release:
Migration reforms to deliver Australia's skills needs

Aiheesta Courier Mail:
Open door for skilled, English-speaking migrants

Aamulla kuuntelin radiosta (triplem) etta Kevin olisi ollut katsomassa kriketti ottelua Kiweja vastaan ja koska katsomossa oli ollut niin paljon kiweja han oli paattanyt etta tarvitaan lisaa englantia sujuvasti puhuvia siirtolaisia

Nyt on uusi lista julkaistu.  Yli 200 ammattia poistettu listalta ja muita muutoksia kuten esim Australiassa opiskelu ei enaan takaa automaattisesti pysyvaa viisumia.

What's New? Recent Changes in General Skilled Migration

[eevis]

Joo, omakin ammatti poistettu kokonaan skilled listalta, ja näyttävätpä kokonaan pistäneen joksikin aikaa jäihin muita kuin työnantajan sponssaamia hakemuksia:

The Australian Government has decided to temporarily suspend the acceptance of certain General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa applications. This temporary measure will begin on 8 May 2010 and is expected to remain in effect until the end of 30 June 2010.

The temporary suspension applies only to primary (main) applicants for the following visa subclasses:

    * Subclass 175 – Skilled Independent (Migrant) visa
    * Subclass 176 – Skilled Sponsored (Migrant) visa
    * Subclass 475 – Skilled Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa.

Eli ilmeisesti lisää isoja muutoksia tulossa, kun varaavat niille nyt aikaa.
