Indian Skills in High Demand across the Globe

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 15, 2008 – Indians have become a key source of immigrants in countries such as Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Norway and France. These countries ultimately benefit from this source of immigration by contributing to the growth of the scientific, medical, IT and software engineering sectors.

Global Visas (www.globalvisas.co.in), a leading visa and immigration authority, has recently opened an office in India aimed at helping those Indian citizens seeking a life overseas or supplying foreigners with permits and visas into India itself.

As Liam Clifford, Director of Global Visas (www.globalvisas.co.in) says, “As one of the world’s leading authorities on immigration and visa services our aim is to provide the most comprehensive and up to date visa and immigration resources available.”

Global Visas (www.globalvisas.co.in) can help those living in India get visas for various countries that seek skilled workers such as Canada.

Canada aims to attract more skilled migrants and have even drawn up a bill aimed at streamlining and speeding up the immigration process. In Canada India is the main source of immigrants. According to the Toronto census metropolitan area most migrants are from India, followed by China, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Delays of up to seven years have become the norm for those wanting to move to Canada. This bill aims to revamp the immigration allowing the system to be fast-tracked. According to Canada’s immigration minister Diane Finley, “there is a backlog of over 80 000 applications for immigration to Canada.”

When not looking into Canada and the like Indian students and highly skilled migrants are even looking into non-English countries for job and study opportunities, with France becoming a popular choice. France is currently working hard to attract Indians to their shores, particularly at university level.

Each year 250 000 students are foreigners, only 1700 come from India, France aim to improve these numbers by making the process from student visa to working visa easily attainable while the Indian citizen remains in France.

Norway has also become a sought after destination for those looking for jobs in the IT, medical and petroleum sectors. Indians are even the main source of skilled foreigners living in Norway.

Indian immigrants are therefore found around the globe, with their highly technical skills and knowledge, foreign countries are warmly welcoming them on a daily basis.
