陆克文政府为了减轻雇主短缺技术人员的压力又增加了2008-2009年度年技术移民配额31000名。这样2008-2009年度永久技术移民配额达到133500名,总计190300名。
参议员爱文斯说临时技术移民计划在2007-2008及2008-2009 可望超过100000。 (注:无配额限制)
457签证在2003-2004年度总共批准39500相比之下 2007-2008 上半年度已批准49700。
“The Rudd Government has moved to ease pressure on employers struggling with the skills shortage by adding an additional 31 000 skilled migrants to the 2008-09 Migration Program.”
“Overall, permanent skilled migration will make up 133 500 places in the Migration Program, which totals 190 300 for 2008-09.”
“Senator Evans said the temporary skilled migration program is expected to exceed 100 000 places in each of 2007-08 and 2008-09.”
“A total of 39 500 subclass 457 visas was granted in 2003-04 compared with 49 700 in just the first half of 2007-08.”
这条消息对于广大留学澳洲的朋友来说,无疑是一种利好消息。
第一,在中国目前的就业形式下,有工作经验的海龟更加显得至关重要,所以毕业后留在海外先发展是规避留学投资风险的上佳良方!
第二,因为移民需求的扩大,对于想在澳洲先工作获得工作经验、或者在澳洲发展事业的留学生来说,可以更加方便的移民,配额扩大了,政府必然会进一步改革哪些专业可以更快移民,从而扩大移民职业的选择。目前澳洲的移民政策非常的宽松,485签证的推出给了广大留学生朋友可以毕业后直接在澳洲工作18月的临时签证。同时基本上任何专业只要英文符合要求均可以移民。
举例来说,2008年5月17日,紧缺移民职业的《技工类别》增加了一些新职业(凡是在该清单上的专业本来就属于60分移民专业,而且毕业后工作1年就可以获得额外15分加分):
