Can Australia still immigrate now? 20

Now Australia can still immigrate, but at present, Australia's ** immigration policy is tightened, the immigration quota is reduced, and the application requirements are increased, which is more difficult than before.

Family-based immigration

This type of visa requires that the applicant has a spouse or parents, or children who have the status of an Australian permanent resident or Australian citizen. The application requirements for this type of visa are not too high, but the number of people who can meet them is not particularly large. In addition, the processing time for this type of visa is relatively long.

The processing time for spouse and child visas is generally years, while the processing time for parent visas is 5-11 years, or even longer.

Immigrant by Investment

At present, there are four main types of investment immigration visas: 188A, 188B, 188C, and 188E.

Since July 1 this year, Australia** has increased the application requirements for investment immigration visas a lot, resulting in some applicants who originally met the requirements becoming ineligible again. Because of this, many of our clients are very worried, and they have to increase the company's turnover or their own personal investment amount before they can meet the application requirements. In this way, it will take at least 2-3 years, because the immigration office generally looks at the last 2 years.

The investment quota for the investor visa has also been increased a lot. 188a requires the applicant to invest at least $600,000 in Australia; 188b requires the applicant to invest $2.5 million in Australia; Section 188c requires the applicant to invest $5 million in Australia. Although there are many wealthy people in the country, it is necessary to put such a large amount of liquidity there, and it needs to be carefully considered.

Skilled immigration

The funds are not enough, and the technology will make up. For some people who have relatively few assets, but have certain skills and skills, and have a relatively high level of English, it is generally recommended to choose the Australian skilled migration visa category. The following categories are included:

1.189: Skilled Independent Visa

2.190: Skilled Nominated Visa

The application requirements and fees for the above two types of visas are similar. All require applicants to be under the age of 45 at the time of invitation; The occupation is on the SOL or CSOL Occupation List, and is also on the State** sponsored occupation list, and has passed the Occupation Assessment; Be state-sponsored**; Achieve a minimum score of 65 points through the Skilled Migration Scoring System; IELTS with a minimum of 4 6s; Meets physical and quality requirements.

3.Subclass 858: Global Talent Visa

The advantages of this type of visa are: no age limit; No English proficiency requirement; No proof of assets and proof of personal funds** is required; No career assessment, no scoring; One person applies, the whole family immigrates, and gets Australian PR in one step; The number of places is large, and the processing speed is fast.

There are currently no explicit restrictions on immigration in Australia.

However, due to the increasingly serious hatred of China in Western countries in the past two years, especially during the current epidemic period, there have been many outbreaks of unfriendly behavior towards Chinese citizens in Western society.

There is currently no clear policy to restrict immigration due to the large impact on state-to-state relations such as immigration restrictions and transnational borders, but in practice it may not be so simple.

There is no doubt that Australia is indeed a country of immigrants, which is similar to Canada and the United States.

Australia has always had many types of immigration policies that attract elites and people with professional skills from all over the world to Australia.
