February 6th, 2012 Tushar Mathur Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced this week that changes are coming to Canada’s immigration system soon. According to Kenney, the changes will make the system more flexible in an effort to combat labour shortages.
Kenney said Canadian immigration is planning to change the points system they currently use for selecting immigrants to make it easier for applicants in skilled trades to qualify for Canadian skilled immigration. This means the focus would be on admitting more tradespeople as opposed to just university-educated immigrants like engineers and doctors.
“People who are skilled tradespeople have an almost impossible job of coming to Canada under our current system because the skilled worker program basically selects people with advanced university degrees,” Kenney said.
He added that once the government opens up the border to more skilled workers, they can attract “hidden jewels” that can help fill labour shortages.

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.

July 11th, 2011 Tushar Mathur A new report by Fitch Ratings states that the US resources industry which includes the mining and natural gas sectors, and the tech industry are facing a serious shortage of skilled workers. Experts say that skilled immigration could deal with this labor shortfall.
Karl Smith, an economist at the School of Government at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, told The American Independent that the report represents a “reasonable” look at the United States labor market. He said that a US policy of encouraging skilled immigration could alleviate these problems.
Smith said a points based system, similar to those in other countries such as Canada, Denmark, and Australia, would be a good idea because it enables top talent to come and live and work in the US.
Australia’s recent mining boom has meant serious skills shortages. Australia benefits from a successful points based General Skilled Migration program; In Australia skilled immigration under points based immigration schemes helps businesses deal with the shortfall in skilled workers.
Smith added that increased immigration would also drive demand for homes, helping to prop up America’s ailing housing market.
A points based immigration system would represent a significant change in the United States immigration system, which largely focuses on employer-sponsored and family-based immigration schemes.

July 8th, 2011 Tushar Mathur According to Ruth Dyson, New Zealand Labour Party spokesperson on immigration, New Zealand is in dire need of more skilled immigration. There are skills shortages in many areas of the New Zealand economy. Immigration is good for the New Zealand economy. Government research suggests that even at existing immigration levels there will be a gain of $28 billion to the New Zealand economy by 2021.
Dyson feels that Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman’s stance on immigration is detrimental to the Kiwi economy.
“The Minister’s response seems to be that we have an increasing number of unemployed, therefore we should reduce the number of people coming to New Zealand from overseas,” Dyson said.
