Government tightens skilled migration

THE global economic crisis has forced the Federal Government to tighten its skilled migration program.

- Skilled migration program tightened
- Economic crisis forces rethink
- Skills shortage fast-tracking


Under changes announced yesterday, the Government will make it harder for some migrants to get permanent visas, while fast-tracking approvals for migrants with skills in critical demand.

Immigration Minister Chris Evans said engineers, medical, IT and construction trade professionals on a new "critical skills list" would be favoured.

As revealed last week by The Age hairdressers and chefs will no longer get priority.

"The overwhelming message is that we need to maintain a skilled migration program but one that is more targeted," Mr Evans said. "There were concerns that the permanent skilled migration program was not delivering the right skills to the right areas."

Under the changes, states and territories will have greater scope to sponsor migrants to fill shortages specific to their economies , while "457 temporary visa" holders nominated by employers for jobs that cannot be filled locally also get priority.

The Federal Government has come under pressure to revise its skilled migration program as the economy has slowed and unemployment has crept higher.

In the May budget, it expanded skilled migration from 102,500 to 133,500 places in light of more positive economic forecasts. But Mr Evans said yesterday: "Since the budget, there has been a significant shift in the global economic outlook, with some major developed countries entering into recession. This is having an impact on the Australian economy."

While industry and business have pushed the Government to retain the cap of 133,500 places, Mr Evans said the number of visas granted for the rest of the financial year would be "kept under review".

"The Government retains the ability to cap the program below that figure if necessary," he said.

The changes are designed to channel skilled migrants to industries with shortages, while retaining the program to a level that keeps the economy going as the population ages.

The "critical skills list", which includes 60 occupations, will take precedence over the "migration occupations in demand list", which includes hairdressers, pastrycooks and locksmiths.

Mr Evans said the "migration occupations in demand list" had failed to fill shortages and some applicants had nominated occupations they had no intention of working in.

The changes could have a big impact on what international students choose to study and the types of courses colleges provide. Tens of thousands of international students have gained permanent residency after studying courses which are weighted with visa points because they are included on the "migration ocupations in demand list".

It is acknowledged in the international education industry that hairdressing and cookery have been popular as they attract extra migration points, allowing a path to pemanent residency in Australia, without students having any intention of working in those jobs.

International education sources said it was too early to tell what impact the changes would have on private training colleges, which have boomed on the back of demand for such courses.

收紧的是那些走“捷径移民课程”之类的移民类别。移民部推出一个新的极度紧缺技术名单（"critical skills list"），包括engineers, medical, IT和construction trade professionals等60种技术职业工种将被包含进去。

而原先包括hairdressers, pastrycooks和locksmiths等工种的“移民需求职业名单”（"migration occupations in demand list"）将不再被优先考虑。

这一移民政策的改变将极大影响包括中国、印度、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡以及东南亚等在内的国际留学生。

至于明年的移民总额到底会不会大幅下降，移民部长在昨天的新闻里已有暗示。









据2008年12月11日《The Age》报道，有传闻澳洲移民部将会把美发与烹饪这两个专业从短缺技术工种名单中剔除，这将对开办此类课程的私立训练学院和公立工艺学院（TAFE）造成极大的影响。入读这些学院的国际留学生将会锐减，一些学院将会裁员甚至倒闭。

澳洲移民计划中增长最快和最庞大的一个类别就是一些年轻国际留学生持学生签证抵达澳洲，通常以修读完服务行业技术培训课程后申请永久居留权转身份为PR。

目前澳洲每年有20,000名国际留学生获得永居权PR，他们多数有大学学历，特别是会计专业学历。不过，以理发师和厨师等技术课程学历达到移民资格的人数正在急剧增加，他们的人数未来可能还会攀升。这些学生已占澳洲计分技术移民的一半。

来自中国福州的留学生Eileen Li和印度学生Jinal Patel一样，完成了两年的理发师培训课程，将获澳洲工艺技术资格协会承认她们的技术资格，这样就可以向移民部申请永居权。

移民人口学家Bob Birrell表示，2005年共有10,782名海外学生到澳洲开始修读服务业，餐饮业和运输业的工匠技师程课，2006年增加到18,524人，到2007年人数更高达30,492人。

他说，在2005年，来自印度的这类学生为1800 人，2006年增加到4661人，2007年更升到 11,866 人。他们都将在2008年底和2009年申请永居身份。

悉尼移民代理Mark Webster表示，理发师和厨师技艺证书已成为申请移民的“捷径”，这是一个“漏洞”，他呼吁联邦政府再度检讨它的移民计划。他说，这套制度并未真正能挑选到澳洲经济发展所需要的人才。显然，让在澳洲修读理发师和厨师之类匠师技艺课程的留学生优先办理移民手续，是移民部引进短缺技术人才计划中的一个漏洞。






Hairdressing cut may leave colleges stranded

   
December 11, 2008  The Age

HAIRDRESSING and cookery are expected to be removed from the list of occupational skills in short supply in Australia — a move that would affect migration rules and have widespread ramifications for the international education industry.

Thousands of international students who complete courses in hairdressing and cookery can gain extra migration points towards applications for permanent residency because the two trades are currently included on the Migration Occupations in Demand List.

It is widely acknowledged in the international education industry that hairdressing and cookery are popular courses among international students because the extra migration points allow a "fast track" to permanent residency in Australia.

But the impact on training colleges nationwide is expected to be far-reaching, with possible job losses and business failures.

The removal of cookery and hairdressing could result in a significant drop in students seeking to enrol in such courses, leaving TAFE and private training colleges struggling to fill classes.

Colleges that offer hairdressing and cookery courses and only have international students on their books, are likely to be hardest hit as student numbers drop off.

Private training colleges, particularly in Victoria, have boomed in recent years on the back of demand for hairdressing and cookery courses from international students.

For the year to July, national training sector enrolments jumped 44% on the previous year, reflecting the popularity of private training colleges as lucrative businesses thriving on fees from international students.

In Victoria, colleges registered to teach international students cookery and hairdressing far outnumber any other state or territory.

These colleges offer 134 courses in hairdressing and 109 courses in cookery.

Research by Monash University demographer Bob Birrell last year found international student enrolments in cooking and hairdressing nearly tripled between 2004 and 2006.

In response to questions by The Age, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Evans, said: "As has long been the case, the skilled migration program is monitored in light of the economic circumstances at the time. The Government has also been consulting business and industry about their future skills needs," he said.

The Australian Council for Private Education and Training, which represents private training colleges, called on the Government to install appropriate transitional arrangements for students and colleges.

"We've got the risk of job losses and business failure in already difficult times," said council spokesman Andrew Smith.

International education is a $13.9 billion industry in Australia.

Skilled migrant door left open


December 18, 2008  Article from:  The Australian

PERMANENT migrants with the promise of a job or who possess critically needed skills will be given priority entry into Australia in an overhaul of the program.

Immigration Minister Chris Evans said yesterday there would be no cut to Australia's record high intake of skilled migrants, defying expectations the Government would move to cut the program in response to the global economic crisis.

Instead, Senator Evans has announced a retooling of the way the Immigration Department processes skilled migrants in an effort to make the system more responsive to businesses' needs.

The cap of 133,500 skilled migrants for 2008-09 will remain, although the minister says the option to cut the program will stay on the table.

Under the changes, announced in a ministerial statement yesterday, skilled migrants with a confirmed job will be placed at the top of the processing queue along with migrants with qualifications deemed to be at a critical shortage in Australia.

Currently the system operates on a first-come, first-served basis making it, in the words of Senator Evans, supply-driven, rather than demand-driven.

The list of about 60 critical skills will prioritise medical, IT, engineering and construction trades, Senator Evans said.

The occupations that state and territory governments can sponsor will be expanded to make the scheme more responsive to varying economic conditions across the country.

The changes are in part a response to the growth of the 457 temporary-skilled migrant program, which in recent years has been favoured by industry because of its relative flexibility.

They are also driven by concerns that too many skilled migrants are not working in their chosen fields.

Senator Evans said the existing arrangements had delivered a "less than optimal" mix of skills and occupations.

"In the last three years just five occupations, out of the hundreds available, accounted for almost half the visas granted to primary applicants," Senator Evans said.

The Opposition immigration spokeswoman Sharman Stone dismissed the changes as minor.

"What we've got is a ministerial non-statement, a statement of the status quo," Dr Stone said.

She said the changes would do little to augment Australia's skills base as most permanent skilled visas went to temporary migrants already working in Australia.

But yesterday's announcement represents a win for the business lobby who had urged the minister to hold his nerve and not cut the program despite the threat of rising unemployment.

Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Anderson applauded the changes, describing them as "measured and manageable".

"It reflects a sense of realism about the skills needs of Australian industry being supplemented by a targeted migration program," he said.

There had been "real anxiety" within the business community that Senator Evans would turn off the migration tap, following a series of statements by Kevin Rudd and the minister, Mr Anderson said.

Just last week, Senator Evans told The Australian a cut to the migration quota remained more likely than not.

Australian Industry Group chief Heather Ridout said the focus on medical, IT and construction skills would be welcomed by business.

"Industry will also be looking to increase its use of the Employer Nomination Scheme in response to the announcement and is hopeful that the promised fast tracking under the system will be delivered effectively," she said.

澳洲推出新的技术移民紧缺职业名单

这个标题应该修改一下，因为有歧义
这次的CSL名单，跟原来的“紧缺职业名单”，并不冲突，两者不是取代的关系，所以不能说推出“新的”。现行的“紧缺职业名单”仍旧有效，而且下次修改是明年早期，即使明年修改，也不见得美发厨师会被移除

CSL的名单，只是保证名单上的职业，有优先处理的优惠，估计下一步会给这些职业更大优惠，比如不受年度限额限制等。

标题太吓人了，而且是误解，应该修改 ...

老大，下面是我对楼主转贴英文的翻译，这里面哪里有说要取消原来的美发厨师？

原文“Immigration Minister Chris Evans said engineers, medical, IT and construction trade professionals on a new "critical skills list" would be favoured.”

以及“The "critical skills list", which includes 60 occupations, will take precedence over the "migration occupations in demand list", which includes hairdressers, pastrycooks and locksmiths.”

请对照着看。

越来越紧的移民政策让很多有此念头的人不得不考虑一些旁门左道，比如改读烹饪专业。Monash大学的研究小组发现，这一现象已经到了危险的地步，很容易导致工资的恶性竞争，呼吁政府应该考虑取消其紧缺职业头衔。

Bob Birrell研究员说，很多报读烹饪专业的准移民大多来自低收入国家，他们为了获得永居（PR），不惜降低身价，这同时也给了雇主剥削的机会。

目前烹饪已经成为会计之后第二热门留学生专业，然而一旦学生拿到签证后，很少有人能真正加入厨师行列。

今年一月，联邦政府调整过澳洲紧缺职业列表，烹饪榜上无名。但是如果学生能够工作900小时，并得到雇主担保，他/她依然能够顺利获得永居签证。问题是，所谓的工作不一定是厨师，可以是厨房工或者服务员。


Residency visas gained through kitchen door

http://www.smh.com.au/national/residency-visas-gained-through-kitchen-door-20090331-9i9y.html?page=-1
Malcolm Knox
April 1, 2009


A LOOPHOLE in Australia's skilled migration program has led to an eightfold increase in overseas students enrolling in cooking courses as a means of achieving permanent residency and a danger of a "race to the bottom" in wages, according to a Monash University study released today.

The study, "The Cooking-Immigration Nexus", describes the current system as a "mess" and calls on the Federal Government to remove cooking from the list of skills eligible for employer-sponsored permanent residency visas.

"Permanent residence is extremely attractive to people from low-wage countries," said Bob Birrell, one of the study's authors and co-director of the Monash Centre for Population and Urban Research. "People who are desperate for that [permanent residence] prize are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that, and the current system is almost an incitement for them to go to employers and undercut the going rate, and of course for employers to exploit this as well."

Between 2004 and 2008 the number of overseas students enrolled in cookery courses rose from 1019 to 8242, according to the study. Total enrolments of overseas students in trade courses trebled from 65,120 in 2005 to 173,432 in 2008.

Cooking has become the second-highest employment category, behind accounting, of "onshore" trained overseas students wishing to gain permanent residence. However, due to the low regulation of many of these courses, "relatively few actually work as trade-level cooks once they obtain permanent residence" and there remains a shortage of skilled cooks in Australia, says the study, authored by Bob Birrell, Ernest Healy and Bob Kinnaird and published today in the Monash journal People and Place.

The "Government should restrict the migrant flow of cooks," the study says. "It has been reluctant to act because it and many state governments are anxious to preserve the overseas student education industry. These governments have refused to acknowledge the reality, which is that the rapidly growing enrolments are more about selling permanent entry visas."

The number of former overseas cookery students who received permanent residence increased from 951 in 2005-06 to 3251 in 2007-08. This was 41 per cent more than the number of Australian apprentice completions in cooking, 2305 in 2007.

In January the Government published a list of occupations in which Australia has a critical skills shortage, and cooking was not included. But instead, overseas students in cooking can achieve permanent residence by working 900 hours for an employer, then having that employer sponsor their migration by working for them for another 12 months. This can be as menial as kitchenhand and waiting work.

"Leaving cookery off the list was an impressive step," Dr Birrell said, "but it assumes that employers won't take advantage of people desperate to … gain the sponsorship."

With rising local unemployment, the authors say the Government should usher more out-of-work Australians into retraining as cooks, rather than issuing more visas.

"Given the decline in the workforce in some traditional trades," the authors write, "especially in manufacturing, it is important that trade opportunities be opened in the service sector - including cooking".
