Apr 17, 2008 – Australia is fast becoming a leading choice for students, particularly due to cheaper fees than other first world countries, as well as a high educational standard.
“Australian migration offers a wealth of exciting opportunities for people seeking a new challenge and a fresh start in life”, says James Mac Anally of www.globalvisas.com, the Australian Immigration Manager of this international visa and immigration authority. He adds that getting a student visa is a popular choice for foreigners looking for a new life down under.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship have now changed the law, allowing those on a student visa to work while studying. This enables them to support themselves and encourages these highly skilled graduates to look into making Australia their permanent home.
Beforehand students were required to apply for working rights if they wanted to work, this process has now been done away with, making it easier and more cost effective for the applicant.
“Australia desperately needs skilled workers and through educating foreigners in Australian institutions these gaps can be filled,” says Mac Anally. www.globalvisas.com actively helps those wanting to move to Australia whether it be for study or work.
The aim of Australia’s government to construct one of the world’s best education systems also influences people’s choice to come and study in Australia. This has become particularly apparent with Indian students, with as many as 30 000 Indian students getting Australian visas in 2007.
Once these students have graduated they are often streamlined into the highly skilled working world. Australia has a massive shortage of skilled workers, according to Sharan Burrow, the Australian Council of Trade Unions’ president Australia stands to lose billions if this gap is not rectified.
This is particularly apparent in the healthcare sector where nurses are in great demand. Some surgery is sometimes delayed due to a shortage of these specialist nurses.
An 18-month temporary visa distributed to those who have at least a two year qualification can help deal with shortages like this.
