Ever since the UK’s permanent immigration cap on non-European Union nationals has been unveiled, there are criticisms of the changes made to the British immigration policy. There are only a few who favored the cap, while rest has opposed it citing many loopholes in the future prospects, economy being the major concern.

Of late, the care sector in the United Kingdom foresees a crisis in the industry due to the permanent cap on outside EU migrants. The new yearly visa cap on non-EU immigrants will hurt in the numbers of carers intend to enter the United Kingdom. The outcome of this situation will be the drop in the standards of the nation’s care sector.

As a matter of fact, the United Kingdom is all set to implement the permanent annual immigration cap in the New Year, towards April. Besides the cap, tougher immigration rules might also have an affect on the number of work permits being issued to non-EU workers.

The new immigration policy is not going to help the situation the nation’s social care sector has been facing right now. There is always a recruitment crisis in UK’s social care. Hiring of care staff to the United Kingdom from non-EU nations had seen success so far, which eventually compensated for the lack of workers from the local communities to work in the care sector. But with the new policy, the industry might again see a worse situation without the non-EU nations.
