Australia’s big changes to its immigration system, visa processing. Details

Australia Immigration: System similar to Canada and Germany will be put into place in Australia to attract more skilled migrants.

Australia is set to significantly change its immigration system with the aim to speed up getting highly skilled workers into the country. Smoothening the process of permanent residency is also one of the key focuses of the plan as the the federal Labor government said that the system used to select skilled migrants will be modified. Currently, the points test is used to choose people with the correct skill sets but this will be changed so that candidates who are better for the Australian economy are included.
