Good news! -- Australia needs "Explosive Surge" of 2 million migrants

“If we lose this opportunity, those skilled migrants will go to other countries,” he said. “We won’t get those engineers, those accountants, they’ll commit to other projects.”

I stumbled upon this article: https://www.afr.com/politics/australia-needs-explosive-surge-of-2-million-migrants-20211011-p58z0n

Mukhang magiging bright ang 2022 natin. Hopefully talaga mas bumilis ang TAT ng visa processing!

PS: Masyado ata akong atat kasi inaantay ko pa yung skills assessment ko and I'll be taking my PTE on November 18. Wala pang EOI, pero excited na!!! :smiley:

    Another relevant article: https://www.afr.com/politics/explosive-migration-boom-unfounded-pie-in-the-sky-plan-20211014-p5900o

    Grabe nakakaexcite, ito yung sabi:

    _"Dr Rizvi said applications for employer-sponsored visas had shrunk for the last seven years because of the soft labour market and changes to the scheme that had made it “very unattractive”. “So the question arises, which visa category would you use to bring the people in?” he asked.

    Any surge in the migrant intake would likely come through the skilled independent visa category, Dr Rizvi said, which requires prospective migrants to pass a points test to qualify for a visa. The test awards points for attributes such as youth, English language skills, educational qualifications and employment experience.

    But Dr Rizvi said it would be necessary to ease the selection criteria “very significantly” to engineer a surge in migration rates."_
