Much like other destinations of the world, Australia, too, suitably determines the total number of immigrants it will accept every year. Sometime at the very beginning of every financial year, the Australian Minister for the Department of Immigration & Citizenship makes public the projected âEUR~planning levelsâEUR(TM) (overall figures of immigration & visa applications to be entertained) for the next year of the migration program of the country. Such levels cover the total figures of immigration and visa applications that Canberra will admit from the candidates applying from abroad, besides the aspirants applying from inside the borders of the nation.

The immigration laws of the country enable the Immigration Minister to suitably fix the upper limits on the total number of permits/visas which could be offered inside a particular visa category for any specific financial year. Wherever a limit has been put--and once the limit has been touched for the given financial yearâEUR"the Australia Immigration is not lawfully permitted or allowed to offer any additional permits/visas. This is done to properly and effectively regulate and control immigration to the nation.

However, the visa applications still waiting to be duly processed--after the upper limit has been touchedâEUR"should not lose heart as their applications will be put in a row and considered for the next financial year. Yes, itâEUR(TM)s a fact that Immigration Australia (though not many people know about this!) will give due attention at that time even as this modus operandi is known as âEUR~cap & queue.âEUR(TM)

Temporary Australian permits/visas could be given to any individual who caters and fulfils the given requirements for that specific visa category. Canberra offers temporary permits/visas to qualified individuals, who could be keen to study, work and/or visit the country.

Available reports suggest that Canberra would throw the doors of its thriving natural resources industry wide open before the casual overseas workers to assist ease an unceasing labor scarcity plaguing the nation even as the same has made the overall expenses related with wages and business head north.

Reportedly, the Immigration Minister of the country, Chris Bowen, has granted the first of several probable Enterprise Migration Agreements, which enable for the short-term employment of the overseas labor across the many mining fields of the country. It was offered to an iron ore mine from the north-western region of the country.

The same will enable for over 1,700 overseas workers to be engaged for the project at hand. Though this comes as excellent news for a large number of migrant workers--keen to work in the rich natural resources sector of the countryâEUR"widespread fears exist amongst the local workers that a large number of them will lose jobs to their counterparts from abroad.

Meanwhile, Bowen was quoted as saying that although the topmost priority of the government continues to be making certain jobs for the native workers, thereâEUR(TM)s no denying the fact that pressing requirements for the overseas temporary workers, to assist keep the Australian economy robust, do exist. Significantly, all workers from abroad involved with the project will get the wages and conditions akin to what greets the local workers.
