20.01.2022 Migrants coming to Australia may have to spend a certain period of time on mandatory provisional visas before they are granted a permanent residency. The Immigration Department is exploring this possibility in a visa transformation discussion paper by inviting submissions from the public. Should a prospective migrant spend a period of time in Australia before becoming eligible for permanent residence? What factors should be considered? is one of the questions the discussion...Continue reading

15.01.2022 A story written by Adam Creighton and published in The Australian on 9 August 2017 reports on claims by a researcher that changes to migration rules will reduce the annual migration intake significantly. The research was conducted by Bob Birrell a long term opponent of the migration program. An extract from the article:... The study, by the Australian Population Research Institute, suggests such a move could ease congestion and house price growth. Demographer Bob Birrell says the number of Australia’s permanent employer sponsor visas will plummet by at least two-thirds and the number of temporary 457 visas issued will fall by up to half, particularly as the government’s changes from March 2018 make it harder for foreign students to stay on after their studies. And later: The report says the number of permanent employer-sponsored visas will fall by twothirds, given 250 occupations would in effect no longer be eligible. Employers will be less interested in sponsorship, too. They will have to pay additional visa costs and training levies and they will have to provide evidence that they have labour-market tested, the report says, referring to minimum salaries of $53,000 for visa holders.

14.01.2022 Significant changes’ to skilled visas unveiled Changes flagged to the skilled visas by the Federal Government last year are due to take effect in the month of March.... The government, last year announced it was axing the temporary employer-sponsored 457 visa which will now be replaced by two new Temporary Skill Shortage visas sometime during this. The TSS visa will be available in two streams short term and medium term. Short term visas will be issued for two years, while medium-term visas will be issued for up to four years. A two-year work experience and market salary rate assessment will be mandatory, besides tightened English language requirements for the medium term stream. The short-term stream of the visa will not provide a pathway to permanent residency. Many believe the mandatory work experience will eliminate many international students from the equation who were earlier able to apply for 457 visas. Another equally critical change is being made with RSMS (Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme) and ENS (Employer Nomination Scheme) which will now, among other things, require potential visas holders to have a three-year relevant experience in the field they are being sponsored to work into. The Department of Home Affairs confirmed during a recent seminar of migration professionals that changes to RSMS visa will be effective sometime in March. A migration agent who attended the seminar told SBS Punjabi that the department officials said there were very high number of visa applications that involved fraudulent means in both RSMS and Employer Nomination Scheme visas. Last year, a joint SBS The FEED and Fairfax Media investigation blew the lid off a visa scam involving RSMS visas wherein many visa applicants had paid up to $50,000 for jobs leading to permanent residency through RSMS visas. The list of occupations accessible for these visas was massively pruned in April last year when the government announced the skilled visa reforms. The Department hopes the implementation of these changes will help reduce instances of fraud in sponsored skilled visas. Jujhar Singh Bajwa of Bajwa Immigration Consultancy says the mandatory work experience requirements will filter out a huge number of applicants, particularly students who were earlier able to avail of this pathway. I think they [students] will have to plan very carefully about what they study and where they study, he tells SBS Punjabi. Mr Bajwa says these changes may push new students towards areas regional areas, such as Tasmania and Northern Territory. These are the places that give preference to former students who have studied there in state nominations. Sponsored skilled visas will also be subject to a new training levy of up to $5,000 which the government is hoping to implement in March. The legislation pertaining to that is before parliament. https://www.sbs.com.au//significant-changes-skilled-visas-

13.01.2022 The government's sweeping reforms to citizenship will be redrafted with an easier English language test and eventually reintroduced to the Senate, immigration minister Peter Dutton has confirmed. Key points: Govt's proposed English test will drop from IELTS 6 to IELTS 5 ... Dutton wants new rules in place by July 1 next year Migrants who applied for citizenship since April 20 will now be processed under existing rules The government’s citizenship reforms, which included longer waiting times for permanent residents and a tougher English language exam, were struck off the Senate notice paper on Wednesday after missing a deadline to pass the bill. Mr Dutton on Thursday said the government was willing to accept migrants who pass an English entrance exam at the Band 5 on the international testing standard, rather than Band 6 as previously proposed. The tougher Band 6 test was a major sticking point in the Senate, including for the crucial Nick Xenophon Team on the crossbench. Band 5 is described as "modest" English user, rather than a "competent" one. Mr Dutton also confirmed tens of thousands of citizenship applicants who applied since the changes were announced in April will now be processed under the existing rules. The minister told a committee in mid-July this year there were 47,328 people who would be affected because they lodged their citizenship applications on or after April 20. The original bill failed to pass with Labor, the Greens and the Nick Xenophon Team all opposed. On Wednesday night, a deadline imposed by a Greens tactical manoeuvre expired, and the bill was struck do

The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton said Australia's migration programme is structured to deliver the best possible outcomes for Australians.

09.01.2022 educed the number of migrants by 100,000 on Labor government levels. Photograph: Mick Tsikas/AAP Peter Dutton has said Australia must reduce its intake of migrants where we believe it’s in our national interest. The home affairs minister told 2GB Radio on Thursday the Coalition had already considerably reduced the number of people entering Australia by 100,000 on the levels when Labor was in government and was not tied to the current level of migration.... Dutton was responding to Jim Molan’s first Senate speech on Wednesday in which the new Liberal senator said he was concerned legal migration was in excess of the capacities of our cities to absorb. Since 2017 the former prime minister Tony Abbott has suggested a reduction as part of a conservative manifesto to win back Coalition voters, including those who intend to vote for One Nation, whose leader Pauline Hanson advocates stopping migration.
