Comments OffOntario to create its own immigration strategy
March 13th, 2012 Tushar Mathur Ontario is in the process of developing its first-ever immigration strategy to compete for immigrants against other Canadian provinces.

The Canadian province remains the number one destination for new immigrants to Canada, but the number of immigrants settling in the province has declined by 21 percent from a peak of 148,640 in 2001 to 118,114 in 2010.

September 7th, 2011 Tushar Mathur The UK Government’s own advisory committee, the Migration Advisory Committee, has stated that the British economy could suffer permanent damage if the Government continues to restrict non-EU skilled immigration.
In April of 2011, the current Government implemented a permanent cap on Tier 1 and Tier 2 skilled immigration. This followed on from the temporary immigration cap of the previous year. The popular Tier 1 (General) category no longer exists. There is a new Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) category; However, hardly anyone meets the requirements for this visa category.

August 23rd, 2011 Tushar Mathur Despite the recent huge increase in the number of accountants obtaining skilled immigration visas to Australia there is still unfulfilled demand for accountants in Australia. Skills Australia intends to keep the occupation on its list of occupations in demand.
“We are keeping a watch on accountants but at the moment the data, and the advice that were getting from the professional associations, is that they should still be on the Skilled Occupation List,” said Robin Shreeve, Skills Australia CEO.
The number of accountants who received skilled migration visas to Australia more than doubled during the 2010-11 fiscal year, to 14,680.
“Employment growth has been above average and a similar growth rate is projected over the next five years,” Skills Australia said in a briefing.
Skills Australia went onto say “Unemployment is below average and shortages were relatively persistent until the onset of the global recession in 2008.”
“The level of advertised vacancies remains very low compared with the pre-recession period, although employment levels have risen.”
If you wish to live and work in Australia you should consider applying for immigration through the General Skilled Migration program. Applicants with experience in a job on the Skilled Occupation List and who score enough points under certain criteria such as qualifications, age and English language ability may obtain a permanent residence visa without the need for a specific job offer from an Australian employer.

August 11th, 2011 Tushar Mathur The US government has outlined a series of “policy, operational, and outreach efforts” which it hopes will drive economic growth and stimulate investment by encouraging foreign entrepreneurs to immigrate to the United States.
The new initiatives were announced by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.
“The United States has a long, rich history of welcoming innovative entrepreneurs and skilled workers into our country,” Mayorkas said on his blog.
“These men and women fuel our nation’s economy by creating jobs, and promoting new technologies and ideas,” he added.
“Today, I joined Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and outlined a series of new policy, operational, and outreach efforts that will help fuel the nation’s economy and stimulate investment by making it easier for high-skill immigrants to start and grow companies and create jobs here in the United States.”
USCIS announced that it will:
- Clarify that immigrant entrepreneurs may obtain an employment-based EB-2 immigrant visa if they satisfy existing requirements, and that they may also qualify for a National Interested Waiver (no job offer required) under the EB-2 immigrant visa category if they can demonstrate that their business will be of interest to the United States.
- Expand the Premium Processing Service to immigrant petitions for multinational executives and managers
- Clarify that a sole owner of a business who wishes to employ himself/herself in some circumstances can establish a valid employer-employee relationship to qualify for an H-1B non-immigrant visa
- Implement enhancements to streamline the EB-5 immigrant investor process
- Launch new “engagement opportunities” to seek input and feedback from entrepreneurs and companies.
