After the recent amendments in the Australian Immigration rules, various applicants are left in a dilemma about their Immigration status. According to reports, hundreds of Koreans who were intending to immigrate to the land of Kangaroos were left in a state of confusion for finding alternatives, after Australian government streamlined the Skill List in its Immigration regulations.

Immigration Minister Chris Evans said that the mends are targeted at accepting migrants having higher skills. He strictly said that if the migrants are not draped with proficiency in the English language, don’t have apt trade skills, then they should not have any right to be eligible for a PR status.

At the mention of vocational schools, stats say that almost 11,500 Koreans got themselves enrolled in vocational colleges as of last November. Out of them, 5,200 managed to get a PR status from July 2008 to June 2009.

A Korean official confirmed that the amendments are not targeted for any particular nation. A Seoul official said that until and unless the amendments are targeted at a particular nation, it becomes difficult for any country to get involved in the issue.

There are speculations that the amendments would be targeted at minimizing the enrollment at vocational schools to ensure that students with right skills are entered in Australian premises.

It is not just about Koreans, but applicants from all over the globe would suffer a hint of effect in their Immigration plans to Australia!
