澳洲移民部长11日宣布,政府将着重解决澳洲对技术移民的短缺问题,因此澳洲2010-2011财政年度将维持在上个财政年度的水平,也就是说不会减少移民配额。
新财年的移民配额为168700人,其中113850为技术移民,家庭团聚类54550人,其他特殊类别300人,移民部的数据显示,总体技术移民增加5750人,包括雇主提名大幅增加9150人,普通技术移民只减少3600人,商业移民增加200人。
该财政年度预算的公布,显示了澳洲政府并没有象大家担心的那样,减少移民配额,这无疑是一个利好消息。可以乐观的说,如果移民局收紧移民的要求,但是配额用不完,那么今后移民部还得放松相关要求。只是澳洲很快要面临大选,所以在移民问题上,陆克文政府不敢违背民意,转而趋向控制移民要求,但是实践说明,政府在处理国际教育、碳减排问题、隔热棉问题、小学和幼儿教育等问题上,还欠缺很多成熟的手段,受到社会强烈反弹,这直接导致了陆克文工党政府的民意支持率大幅下降,如今工党支持率已经低于自由党为首的联合党。
Budget 2010–11—Government sharpens focus of skilled migration program
Tuesday, 11 May 2010
The Government will sharpen the focus of the skilled migration program on areas of skills shortage but will maintain the current overall size of the migration program, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, said today.
The overall size of the migration program will remain unchanged with a total of 168 700 places, comprising a total skill stream of 113 850 places, a total family stream of 54 550 places and 300 special eligibility places.
The overall level of skilled migration will increase by 5750 program places. This includes an additional 9150 program places for employer-sponsored skilled migration and a decrease of 3600 places for general skilled migration. An additional 200 visas in the business skills visa category will also be offered.
There will be a reduction in the level of family migration by 5750 program places. Family migration visas will continue to be granted and family members can gain access to temporary visas to travel to Australia to visit family members.
'These reforms support the Government's policy to deliver a more demand-driven skilled migration program that meets the needs of the economy in sectors and regions where there are shortages of skilled workers,' Senator Evans said.
'This updated focus will help further assist employers by ensuring they have access to applicants with skills in high demand that cannot be met from domestic sources.
'Foreign skilled labour is an important driver of economic growth and contributes to increased productivity and labour force levels. It also benefits migrants by ensuring they have a job with a direct match to their skills on arrival in Australia.'
The Government has said for some time the migration intake would reflect the economic climate and it would help ensure employers could gain access to skilled professionals in industries still experiencing skills shortages.
The composition of the migration program will assist in delivering the Government's reforms designed to address shortages of highly skilled workers, such as healthcare, engineering and mining professionals who have an employer willing to sponsor them.
'Revising the mix of the skill stream of the migration program is critical to ensuring the reforms are effective,' Senator Evans said.
This will enable the skilled migration program to respond appropriately to changes in demand for skilled labour as the economy emerges from the global financial crisis.
These measures are part of the Rudd Government's commitment to strengthening our economy and securing our future.
