Hi everyone there have been huge migration changes with all the new updates that came last week given
by uh the minister Claire today let's discuss the gist of all the recommendations they have
come up with and without any further Ado let's get started so the government is planning to create
a three-tiered system wherein the migrants will be categorized accordingly the first year would
be considered by those who are highly skilled migrants and who are earning an exceptional
salaries the second category will be the mid cohort wherein the migrants will be earning
about tsmit level of income now tsmit is nothing but temporary skilled migration income threshold
the last cohort will belong to those migrants who are in the field of skill shortages such as
Healthcare sector and all of those the government is also looking to recalibrate the point system
currently if you are looking to get your are in Australia points play a super important role which
means the points will be ranging anywhere from 65 because that's the eligibility criteria from
65 it can go anywhere above 100 110 as well based on your skills and whatever test you are giving
however the government is looking to reconsider and they are looking to get in skilled migrants
who can provide um economic contribution to the country in the longer term so in near future we
may have this point system or we may not or there might be some changes in the point system as per
the recommendations given now the review also recommended that the labor market testing should
be removed if you are someone who is looking at subclass 4a2 visas or 494 this is something that
your employers must be knowing uh the labor market testing might be removed labor market testing is
nothing but the position should be here advertised in Australia so that may also occur changes
another important change that the government has proposed is the TS MIT level will be increased
to seventy thousand dollars per annum now tsmid here is again temporary skilled migration income
threshold if you are a skilled migrant your income should be anywhere about 70 000 and
seventy thousand dollars plus per annum for you to be eligible for certain Visa subclasses now
let's talk about International students this has become one of the most Hot Topics here Australia
has identified that they are not able to capture potentially higher skilled International students
currently in order to assist an international student they usually use genuine temporary
entrant criteria so they are looking to move from this GTE criteria to genuine student test because
the country has been facing lot of problems a lot of people are migrating to Australia on a student
visa telling the department that they are here to study however they are looking to get their
work rights and they are moving to lower skilled courses and less fee courses and uh just getting
their work rides and just working and they are technically not genuine temporary students here
so this has been identified by the government and now they are looking to tighten the student
um visa requirements as well so usually what students or what non-genuine students do here
is they come on a really good course as Masters or anything of that sort into a very good University
once they land here in Australia they they move from this University to a normal course and to
a low fee or affordable college so that there's a huge difference in the amount of fee that they're
paying and anyways because there are students they do have work rights and they just earn
money and not focus enough on their studies so the the department has identified this and they
would be categorized as non-genuine students because they are technically not here to study
but to work and earn more and more money so they have proposed that they would like to provide a
temporary work visa to all the students who have completed their study upon graduation and give
the Visa as long as the department can analyze if they are higher skilled migraine or no so for
All Those whom the department identifies they are not as skilled as the department wants them to be
they will give them a set time frame so that they can stay until that time frame here in
Australia and they have to move out this is something the review has proposed there has
been no solid statement about this is how it is going to be however what they have confirmed is
the student visa requirements might be tightened in the near future let's now talk about parents
and family Visas so did you know some of the parent visas have processing times of about 40
years that's ridiculous right so the government is looking uh to introduce a parent Visa Lottery
system so that the backlogs are not as much as they are currently now and they're also looking
to propose temporary visas for parents so that they can stay here in Australia for longer term
rather than waiting looking for ridiculous amount of years however the government uh
government's priority currently is on skilled migration and international student filtration
um with parents and family visas they are looking to propose new changes at the end of this year or
probably next year that has not been yet confirmed with all these changes what I understand is it
is important for you to be highly skilled in at least one field so that you will be able to get
top-notch salary and you will be considered as hired a higher skilled migrant and another thing
is do not do not get into malpractices when it comes to your visas and then work rides and all
of that because apparently you are the student and you are the Visa holder so you will be always
at risk if you are violating your student visa rules so please be mindful about it if you have
any questions please put them down in the comment section and I'll see you next week until then bye
