IMMIGRATION FACES SKILLED MIGRATION BACKLOG

migrationhorizon · January 2011

Hi Guys,

Here is some info from the media release from the Minister for DIAC Chris Bowen.

' The Immigration Department says there is a processing backlog of about 140,000 applications for the general skilled migration program and that number is likely to grow.

Regards,
Karl

Hala meaning marami pending applications?

@Bearhawk : oo ang dami nga, magkano lahat pag tinotal ang application fee

. now im in doubt to submit, anyway malayo pa naman plan ko na mag submit and marami pa pwede mangyari. but i pray sana maging maayos lahat para sa mga nag submit nating kababayan.

don't worry ill make sure this site will stays stable and free from third party ads para laging mabilis magload ang content.

@aolee: More power to this site, I believe there will be some changes in the processing of GSM, more on refining I guess. I will try to invite some friends to register.

Yeah i think so too. Immigration also said, it could grow more, my opinion is... it's bit scary right now to apply, if you think your points doesnt surpass the passing mark.

Thanks pla sa support, ill make sure this site will stay up to help our kababayans. Ill also try my best to maintain this forum site, deliver the latest info on migration, as well as keep it away from third party ads so the site performance wont be compromised.

Naniniwala ako na if you are serving your countrymen, sila dapat ang more nagbebenefit hindi ang sarili.

Hope others will also help bring people too. We need especially our fellow kababayan in australia too... so they could share us their exp with us.

I think much better kung me magpost ng job openings dito na open for Pinoys para mas lalawak ang sense ng site na ito...It will be easier specially for people looking for an employer sponsored visa..I hope!

@Bearhawk that a good idea bro, try ko maghanap ng mga "legitimate" job agency so they could post employer sponsored jobs here.

@ aolee Much better if there is a thread linking a job opening in Australia whether its from an agency or from seek.com.au. I believe meron na dito. I'm sure it will grow and attract visitors here.
