Recently unveiled the Australian government’s population and migration plan give a clear message that regional Australia has better permanent residency prospect than in major cities. Now international students who want to be a permanent resident are struggling hard in major Australian cities and prefer regional interstate migration to achieve that.
Permanent Residency Prospect
Australian government’s recently unveiled population plans and a migration amendment give an insight that Australia would focus on regional development in upcoming days. Recently the Federal Government has signed a couple of DAMA with regional government bodies to steam the skilled supplies. And those DAMA relaxes requirements including English language skills to move forward to permanent residency in Australia. DAMA Northern Territory provides migrants an opportunity to apply for Australian permanent residency with relaxed English requirements and wide skill lists that includes low-level occupations too.
Since last year, regional certifying bodies more focused on the requirement of local employment and residence to nominate an applicant for regional provisional visa subclass 489. After cutthroat competition for a subclass-189 skilled independent visa, many international students moved to regional to be eligible for 489 visa nomination. The Australian government’s recent amendment on migration regulations and introduces new regional visas for skilled migrants also open a wider gate for ‘permanent residency’ to live in regional Australia.
