Approaching the end of the year, the promulgation of new regulations in various countries is also endless, some people are really happy and some are worried No, Australia has another "big move", data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that the net number of immigrants this year will exceed 500,000, which is the largest number of new immigrants in Australia's history.
In order to change the situation of "emphasizing quality" rather than "quantity", this new immigration policy can be said to be "subversive".
On December 11, according to Australian media reports, the federal ** announced the latest immigration strategyIt aims to halve Australia's net migration within two years. The new measure will reduce net migration to 37 in June 202450,000 by June 2025, if the new plan fails to reduce net migration to 250,000,** more "draconian" measures will be enacted to curtail immigration, such as limiting the number of students or raising visa application fees.
Australian Commonwealth **willIncrease the minimum English language requirements for international studentsand will impose more restrictions to discourage "visa skipping" in the country to curb the number of migrants living in Australia "long-term temporary".
In addition to restricting visas for international students and graduates, a new "Skills in Demand" temporary visa will be created to:Attract highly skilled workers who have "the potential to improve the skills and expertise of the Australian workforce".

Although Australia is talking about drastic cuts in the number of immigrants this time, everyone knows that Australia's labor market has been heavily dependent on immigrants, and the rapid decline in immigration also means that in the next few years, Australia's output and production capacity will be limited, and the economic growth rate may slow down to a certain extent.
With the release of the new immigration policy and the subsequent specific implementation, some people will be affected, especially for international students, the requirements for staying in Australia in the future will be higher, the difficulty will increase accordingly, and the planning needs to be more detailed
