Bye Bye Australia: Temporary Visa Holders Stuck Offshore Abondan Australia for Canada
Months after being at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Most temporary visa holders and their families’ Australian plan has moved to Canada now.
Temporary Visa holders like Gurpreet are now dreaming to move to Canada after spending 3 years in Australia. COVID 19 has stopped him to move to Australia, but not his dream of working outside the country for the betterment of his family and friends.
Highlights:
- Temporary Australian visa holders stuck offshore like in India, Nepal, Bangladesh is not leaving their Australian dream to settle out in Canada.
- Australia’s 25 million people are born outside the country which is roughly 30% of the entire Australian population
- As per our experience, it is because of the temporary freeze of work for the migrants due to COVID.
The 33 years old like Gurpreet who came to Australia with his 5 years old daughter with a dream of having a good future is now facing difficulties. He was a native of Chandigarh, a city in the state of Punjab, India. He said that due to harsh border measures, his dream of permanently settling in Australia is now shattered, although he has not lost all his hope, still, he is now looking to move out to Canada with the help of GIEC Global Education and Migration Consultancy.
Why people like Gurpreet are looking out to Canada?
Gurpreet says this pandemic has not only taken his job but also the settling dream to Australia and his savings. Moving out from Australia to India, was not an easy decision for him, especially when there are no jobs in India itself.
With the current travel restriction, it is nearly impossible for the Non-Australian people to go back to Australia. Either the person has to be an Australia or S/He must get a travel ban exception from the relevant authorities, which is again a very difficult task to do.
This doesn’t mean people are not trying, even Gurpreet tried, but all his efforts went in vain as all his applications were getting rejected again and again. Even his employed has stepped in to help, but the result was the same. In his own words “I have never dreamt of this nightmare happening to me ever and I have expected we would be treated this way after spending 3 years”.
The IT engineer who had dreamt of living a life in Australia is now preparing his documents to apply under Canada’s Federal Skilled Worker Program via GIEC Global team.
Immigration to Canada is Easy
22% Canadians are Immigrants.
Australia and Canada, both rely on foreign work force for their industries and this is evident from the fact that more than 30% Australia population, i.e. 25 Million people, identify themselves as Immigrants.
Melbourne based Immigration consultant says while the migration is important for both Australia and Canada, the temporary Australian Visa holders are not looking to move to Canada due to our Authorities reluctance. Canada is running many programs like “Canada Immigration Express Entry Program” More details can be found by checking the page embedded with the Canada Express Entry Program.
What is the “difference” between Express Entry and the Federal Skilled Workers class?
FSW is a category of immigration to Canada while Express Entry is a system/method for applying to Canada.
While FSW is a program which is for permanent residence, Express Entry is not. Express Entry is mainly an online system through which you apply for permanent residence under one of the federal programs, like FSW, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades (FST).
Changing application category does not change your Express Entry points
Change in Policies with the change in Government in Australia
While the intake was reduced from 190,000 to 160,000 migrants annually for 4 years after the new Government came to power. Before the starting of the pandemic, the Australian Government has promised to intake almost a million immigrants to Australia in the next 3 years.
It’s also important to note that Australia’s travel restrictions are way stricter than Canada’s, which is allowing foreign workers to return as long as they have a valid work permit,” he added.
