htmlOn September 2, at the Australian Employment and Skills Summit, the Federal Home Affairs Minister announced that Australia's permanent immigration cap for this fiscal year will increase from 160,000 to 195,000, an increase of a full 35,000 a year.

The highest record for permanent immigration was 190,000 in the fiscal years 2012-2013 and 2013-14, which means that the increase in immigration quota this time is the highest total in 10 years.

The next step to relax the quota may be to reduce immigration conditions. The period of Australian immigration is coming, and the main reason is that Australia is short of people.

At present, Australia's unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level in 48 years, the labor demand market is strong, but the shortage of laborers remains a challenge, and Australia urgently needs immigrants to supplement labor vacancies.

Home Minister Clare O’Neil said that after 10 years of policy adjustments, Australia is in a global battle for talent.

"I want to emphasize that one of the priorities of Labour is to get rid of the focus on short-term immigration and turn to permanent, citizenship and national construction,"

It is reported that the quota added from 2022 to 2023 will:

  • allocate an additional 4,700 positions for the health care sector;
  • additional 6,100 positions for workers with "skills required to provide important infrastructure";
  • allocate 6,800 positions for the technology industry.

Another 5,000 places will be allocated to businesses to provide guarantees for employees with permanent visas, reflecting Albany’s statement this week regarding the shifting focus from temporary immigration to permanent immigration and future citizenship.

Simply put, Australia will vigorously promote the immigration program this time, and friends who are applying for various immigration visas will also usher in a rare opportunity!

In addition to increasing immigration quotas, visa review speed is also accelerating!

There are 1 million people waiting for visa approval from the Australian government in recent years.

Immigration Minister Andrew Giles said: The government will spend AU$36.1 million to add 500 department staff in the next nine months to clear the visa backlog!

At present, the visa processing time is constantly accelerating, the temporary technical visa has been shortened from 53 days to 42 days, and the student visa has changed to 31 days.

From the recent Australian immigration quota and invitation situation, it can be seen that the drum call for relaxation of Australian immigration has been sounded, and the immigration quota has increased significantly. The total number of Australian immigration will continue to expand in the long run.
