Australia's Downturn in Immigration 2018

Since 2010, Australia was the main destination for Skilled migrants. But, since mid last year we have seen a downturn in immigration to Australia. Mainly, because there increase in point system. Previous 60 points are now 75 points, difficult to reach by a normal candidate.

Australian government has been changing policies regularly since beginning 2017, restricting skilled migrants and foreign workers. Categories like 457 are closed now. The opposition party is criticizing government on this action as Australia manly depend on foreign skilled workers.

Australian Economy is also affected by this action, but government for unknown reasons are ignoring this. They have also restricted the student visa policy. University incomes are considered to be the 3rd biggest industry of Australia. 

If the current trend continuous, Australia will soon be facing serious labor issues. Candidates have changed destination. More and more people are applying for Canadian Immigration. Canada's relax policy have seen skilled workers moving there.
