On the 11th, Australia's official website released the country's new version of the immigration strategy, the report pointed out that due to the excessive number of immigrants previously absorbed, Australia will implement a series of measures to control the number of immigrants.

The picture shows the cover of Australia's newly released migration strategy report in 2023.

The report pointed out that when Australia** reviewed the introduction of immigrants, it was found that there were serious problems in the review mechanism of the previous introduction of immigrants, resulting in many people who obtained visas to enter Australia whose English proficiency could not adapt to local employment and Xi, and many people who applied for visas with professional skills such as engineering and information technology actually engaged in jobs far below their education level in Australia because of language problems.

Australian Home Affairs Minister Claire O'Neill pointed out that a high proportion of the new immigrants are international students who have come to study in the local area, and many of them have been brought in to fill Australia's scarce professional fields, but the language problem has ended up in local low-income jobs, which not only intensifies competition in related industries, but also makes these migrants themselves more vulnerable to exploitation.

In response to these problems, Australia** announced a new policy announcing that starting from 2024, for those who have graduated from a university and applied for a temporary graduate visa, the IELTS score requirement will be no less than 60 dl to 65 points, IELTS score required to apply for a student visa from 55 points rise to 60 points.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in the year 2022 to 2023, Australia's total number of new net migrants reached 510,000, the highest on record in the country, and net migrants accounted for 81% of the country's population growth. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in an interview that Australia's new immigration policy will do its best to ensure that the immigrants brought in meet local needs.
