Immigration To Australia

When talking about living in other countries, it is always hard to check currencies and change the money you are used to in your old country. Australia’s actual currency is really strong and living in Australia appear to be really expensive for foreigners. If the Aussie dollar is weak against your country though, Australia will seem like a cheap country to live in. The biggest problem of migrators is that they should understand that when living here and earning Australia money, everything gets easier and cheaper.

The immigration of Vietnamese people to Australia has been occurring for over 40 years in this period of time the reason for migration has changed with the times, but predominantly began with the conflict between North and South Vietnam. With the end of WW2 in 1945, many counties and regions had been greatly affected, including the Pacific, Asia and Europe. The rise of communism, beginning in Russia, and slowly spreading to China was soon adopted by the Northern portion of Vietnam. After declaring independence in 1954, Vietnam divided into North and South Vietnam. Only a few years later the North spread their power and overtook the South, of which resulted in the whole country being ruled by communism.

It was in 1945 following the end of WWII that thee Chifley Labour Government established the Department of Immigration with Arthur Calwell at its head. The department used the slogan ‘Populate or Perish’ to promote the idea of increase Australia’s population to the people. The surrounding events such as the recent war and vulnerability to border security breech by the Japanese on top of the small population, convinced the then prime minister Ben Chifley and the Australian public that immigration was vital to the nation’s survival.

Australia is a diverse and multicultural that allows anyone who needs safety and shelter to come to Australia and feel safe and free. Australia wasn’t always like this there was a time where immigrants could not come into the “Safe Haven”. To get away from poverty, war and diseases.

Australia evidently is not the ‘lucky country’ for the vast majority of people living there. Australia has potential to be the ‘lucky country’ for everyone living there but we choose to not embrace their cultural values and attitudes that these marginalized groups contribute to the ‘lucky country’. These marginalized citizens have been sidelined on the terms of development and social amenities and have been are vulnerable to social injustices and human discomforts, hence making these groups disadvantaged in most aspects of life. So, once again, is Australia the lucky country? Well maybe not for all.

In the last few decades, the number of immigrants has increased in Australia. The department of immigration started in 1945 and about 7000,000 immigrants have moved to Australia. The recent data showed that almost 23.9% of Australian residents were born aboard according to Department of Immigration and Citizenship (2008). Nearly 43 percent of residents were born aboard (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2012). In addition, 2.8% of the world's immigrants lived in Australia, while only 0.3% of the world's population lived in Australia (UNDESA, 2013). Because of the huge number of immigrants’ Australian government set programmes to control the increase, which are integrating immigrants into its society and focusing on skilled migrants. This essay will examine how immigration is an advantage to Australia in terms of the integration program of immigrants in Australian society and the economic benefits for skilled immigrants.

Now a day’s immigration is best tool for globalization. Immigration helps in knitting yarn for advancement in economical aspects of any nation. To explore nation like Australia there is an opportunity for permanent residency where one may enjoy all citizenship rights of the nation

Okay, now I don’t want to alarm anyone in this room, but it has comes to my attention that Australia needs to have an increase of temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers. As you know our country is filled with many people talented in different categories but the issue is that even these talents are not enough to seal Australia’s job sectors. During early 2007, Australia has targeted Europe and particularly the UK to help them resolve the problem. But that wasn’t enough workers so during that year and the upcoming 8 years, there has been an extreme lack of skilled professionals in Australia particularly in Medicine and other Health related fields.

Population, participation and productivity: needs to have new migrants to lift the three ‘"Ps" of high economic growth - population, participation and productivity’ (Carvalho, 2015) for its economic sustainability. The IGR 2015 shows that compared to 54% of Australians being under 40, more than 88% of the migrant population is below 40. Similarly more than 50% of those who came in within the last three years are aged between 20-34 years whereas one in five Australians fall in that age group. Migrants are mostly young and fall within the productive age group. Therefore the migrants can be easily the valued human capital for Australia to continue its economic growth. Moreover, increasing aged population will

After the Federation of 1901 was formed a legislation was made to restrict the immigration to australia, Immigration restriction act, to a select ethnic group, particularly White skinned and english speaking europeans. This had an impact on religious scene as it excluded many religious groups from migrating to Australia. At the same time Australian government was attempting to marginalize the indigenous population. Causing the religious scene to be mostly comprised of Christian and Jewish beliefs.

An increase in skilled immigrants can greatly alleviate the current fiscal burden that the aging population of Australia is having on the economy but only until the point where the migrants themselves age. The number of migrants that relocated to Australia throughout last year was 212, 700 people which contributed to the estimated 28.1% of the population being born overseas. Approximately 68% of immigrants were those with the purpose of working within Australia. The increase in skilled migrants greatly improves the dependency ratio which is currently 51 dependent persons to every 100 labour force aged workers.

The immigration restriction act was made in 1901 by the Australian Government. The Australian government made the immigration restriction Act because they were trying to minimize immigration from all non-European countries, mainly the Chinese.

If you would like to emigrate from the United States, I would recommend moving to Australia. Australia is known to have a high level of economic freedom, a relatively low amount of corruption, and it is relatively easy to start a business there. By observing these factors, we can determine that you would most likely be successful when emigrating to the country and easily find employment.

The process of obtaining a visa for Australia and New Zealand can be a complex process. The complexity of the process depends largely on the type of visa being applied for and the evidence you have in support of your application. For instance, short term tourists who are passport holders from certain countries (if there is no adverse record against their name) have free entry to New Zealand and are granted a visa when they arrive at the New Zealand airport.
