AUSTRALIA
Australia is one of the top most popular migration destinations. The attraction of good weather and a high standard of living remains strong as ever and there has been no decline in the number of people seeking to emigrate from various parts of the world. The Australian economy has steady growth, low inflation, low interest rates and a falling external deficit. The expansive landscape with its infinite variety, the ocean and waterways which are at the heart of Australian way of life, and the spacious and attractive cities are all valued and enjoyed. Australian society is refreshingly open and vigorous. The people are friendly and ethical.
Australia has much to offer would-be migrants’s year-round sunshine, a lot of space for a healthy outdoor lifestyle, a high level of home ownership and a strong and growing economy. It’s not surprising that the country has a sophisticated immigration system to deal with the number of applications it receives. So, do you qualify for immigration to Australia?

POINTS BASED SKILLED MIGRATION CATEGORY:
Australia has an excellent immigration system for skilled people. The Australian Government continues to emphasise skilled migration, while maintaining a commitment to family reunion migration. The migration to Australia of people with qualifications and relevant work experience helps to address specific skills shortages in Australia and enhances the size and skill level of the Australian labour force. Skilled migrants boost Australia’s productivity in two ways. They increase the output of industry and they pass on skills to Australian workers. This in turn contributes to improved living standards for all Australians. As the title itself suggests that it is for skilled people.
