Subject: Your Australian migration options

 

 

Australia's work force passes 10 million mark

30 year low in unemployment figures

Migration changes introduced on 1 July 2006

 

We recently wrote to you regarding the Australian Government's

announcement that 97,500 skilled visas will be available between July 2006 - June 2007. The demand for skilled migrants in Australia is

significant, with certain occupations being targeted to meet labour

shortages and steady employment growth. More than 150 foreign workers

arrive here every day in response to the nation's shortage of skilled

workers. A key feature of the recent employment boom has been the

exceptionally strong growth in full time jobs.

 

As of 1 July 2006, new immigration forms and fees come into effect, as well as other changes to various visa categories. Australian immigration

law is subject to frequent amendments that can often impact on a

person's ability to meet the visa criteria and lodge a valid application.

 

One of the most important changes introduced was the replacement of the

Skilled Designated Area category with a two-stage visa process. Under the

old category, applicants would obtain permanent residence without any

further obligations after the visa was granted. However, following the

changes introduced on 1 July 2006, applicants will obtain a provisional 3

year visa at the first stage. In order to qualify for permanent residence

at the second stage, applicants now need to live and work in the

state/territory where their sponsoring relative resides for at least 2

years.

 

It is extremely important to be properly informed before you start the

Australian migration process. As you have already passed the Australian

Visa Eligibility Assessment, and completed our Australian Migration

Interview, you can utilize one of our specialized services to help you

take the next step towards your new life in Australia!
