Pursuing that Australian Dream

Because of the Global Financial Crisis, Australian migration decreased. Not only because migrants became poorer, but also because the country's immigration policy changed. They have tightened the number of immigration prior to its people call. They put a certain limit on Skilled Migration to giving more priority to the native Australians. However, the country is still lacking of skilled workers on many different areas except agriculture and tourism. There is still a space to pursue your Australian dream.


The Australian government found out that skilled migration had threatened the unemployment rate inside the country. As a response, they trimmed down the number of skilled migrants going inside the country. But this can't be a reason to give up, because there are still more than a hundred thousand job opportunity in Australia. You can still apply for an Australia visa and fulfill slots that meet your qualifications.


As for this time, hundreds of occupation in tourism, clerical and agriculture was removed from 457 visa program. Removed professional slots will be allotted to natural Australian citizen to stop the unemployment scare.


Changes on immigration policy also occurred like higher level of English ability. This was set to make sure that the 457 program has filtered all applicants and provide companies with much skilled workers to be designated instantly in different workplaces.


Australian Technology Network or ATN has been criticizing Australia's skilled immigration cuts. They believe the emigrating to Australia are great contributors for their recovery. The ATN says that instead of cutting Skilled Visa program by 14%, they should have leave it open, thus, it is an opportunity for more skilled academics to come to Australia which later can boost to economic recovery. They even added that once Australia recovered from recession, they will be facing another problem, that is, extreme shortage of skilled workers.


Economists are very optimistic that it's not so long, Global Financial Crisis will leave the world and we will all come back to what we were before. After that Skilled migration will be back to its former status wherein acquiring of professional skilled workers from overseas is given priority. Recovery will open more job opportunities for many jobs in Australia aspirants. Analysts even said that the recovery is coming soon so we have to watch out what will be the next episode of Australia Skilled Migration Program.


A dream is not finish until you give it up. If you're dream is to establish a better life for your family, then push it. After all, it will never be erased that Australia is a land of opportunity, a shelter for many dreams. Chances are high that your Australia visa will be granted, depending on how you are working for it.
