How we think?
On 31 May 2021, Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has revamped the nation’s skilled migrant intake with more people to come in as employer-sponsored. The Australian senate official transcripts read: “The global talent category decreased to 11,000 for the 2021/22 Migration Program”. Previously in 2020/21 Migration program for the global talent category, it has 15,000 places.
Employer-sponsored visas will be lifted to 23,500 from 22,000, the regional visa will be expanded by 17% to 13,150 positions while an extra thousand will be available through the skilled independent visa. The number of business innovation visas almost doubled from 6862 in 2019-20 to 13,500 for this financial year. But it will be cut to 11,000 in 2021-22 and follows a review in recent months.
