India is one of the major talent pools, and also a key source of immigration motivated people to the various immigration destinations of the world, such as; for instance, the US, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK, Denmark, Canada, etc. And, this has inspired the government of these nations to attract more skilled people from India. Australia especially seems to be rather committed to be a magnet for as many trained people from India as possible, for obvious reasons.
Perhaps, this is one of the chief reasons why immigration to Australia from India in 2014 so far has been very impressive. And, candidates from the various parts of the latter–such as Chandigarh, Punjab, and north India–have moved to the nation in large numbers, and under various categories.
Significantly, the NSW has started a new program named Skilled Nominated Visa which is basically to draw skilled people from all over the world, to fill in the many openings across the Kangaroo Land. Reports available suggest that as many as 4000 talented migrants will be selected under the 190 Visa Program up for grabs from the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). The number of total openings is even more, but Down Under being one of the highly competitive nations, wants only highly skilled people to gain admission in the nation.
To meet this high demand of talented people, the Government of Oz is making continuous changes even as these improvements are being implemented uninterruptedly. Many good visa options are available for entry to the nation. To meet the growing demand of gifted people, the government is encouraging Indian aspirants to explore other pathways of entry. The nation is looking forward to receiving 2000 applications till June 2015, and to cater to the need, the concerned immigration and visa authorities are providing all relevant information which will facilitate the passage to the country.
Australia migration program basically constitutes of two factors. The first one is the migration which is fueled by family, skilled or special eligibility stream. The second is the humanitarian stream and this is mainly for refugees. Every year, the migration level is set for the aspiring migrants which, this year, was 1, 90,000 fixed in the migration program whereas 13,750 was set high for humanitarian program. Australian public play a vital role in fixing this level even as a general survey is conducted to meet the purpose.
While we are on the subject, it would be, perhaps, pertinent to share a news report. Recently, the concerned authorities have announced a new Premium Investor Visa (PIV) which will provide 12 months of Permanent Residency (PR) in Down Under, and is much more promising from the current Significant Investor Visa Program. This permit will be available from July 1, 2015, and will for those candidates who wish to invest a $15 million or more in Oz. The upcoming Cricket World Cup–that starts from February 14 to March 29, 2015 in Australia–is likely to motivate more Indian to cross the boundaries of Oz.
Significantly, due to increased health benefits, Down Under is currently experiencing problems of ageing people and reduced work force. The Kangaroo Land is looking for the migrants who can look after these old people, care for them and nurse them back to health. But they, the applicants, need to possess the language understanding ability. It is a fact that without this vital qualification it will not be possible to gain admission in the country, justifiably so. The program using which aspirants can move to the nation will prove highly fruitful to the migrant and his family which moves to the Kangaroo Land under the scheme.
