More than 28,000 people migrated to Scotland past year swelling the population figure of the Scotland to 5.2 million. A sound figure of global migrants arrived to Scotland in 2010 and raised the population figure of the country to maximum since 1977.

Out of 28,000 immigrant figure more than 21,500 people immigrated from outside of UK means a nice chunk of overseas candidates are migrated from Asian and other nations in 2010. It is a massive surge in the immigration figure as only 17,500 migrants admitted in the years of 2009 and 2008 and if it taken into account for the year 2007-2008 only 7,800 people migrated to this UK territory.

This increase was a result of public welfare services proposed in the country but also it will put considerable stress on the services. This immigration news flashed following announcement by the Prime Minister that surging migration figures are overwhelming a number of British communities.

This is somehow soothing news for foreign nationals aspiring to immigrate to UK in search of job and study. Though UK has imposed several restrictive immigration policies and caps but still there are many wise and legal ways to immigrate to UK.
