Australia also gave a big shock to thousands of Indians, from students to working professionals everyone is in trouble

Australia Migration Limit Announcement: After Canada, Australia has also given a big blow to Indian students. The government has now prepared to curb the increasing number of students here. Australia said on Tuesday that it will limit the number of international student enrollment to 270,000 by 2025, because due to record migration, property (rental houses) prices have increased here.

Education Minister Jason Clare said in a press conference that today there are about 10% more international students in our universities and about 50% more in private vocational and training providers than before Corona, so a plan has been made to take strict action on this. Earlier, the government had more than doubled the visa fee for foreign students last month to stop the increase in migration.

Relief was given after covid
Australia had increased its annual migration numbers during COVID to 2022 to help companies recruit to meet staff shortages after the COVID-19 pandemic kept foreign students and workers out for two years. Record migration led by students from India, China and the Philippines has boosted the workforce and also contained wage pressures, but this is now difficult as demand in the property market increases. Immigration reached a record high in the year ending 30 September 2023, rising 60% to a record 548,800, up from 518,000 people in the year ending June 2023.

The number will decrease under the new rules
Education Minister Jason Clare said on Tuesday that this limit would mean a limit of about 145,000 new students in public universities in 2025 and a limit of about 95,000 new people in vocational institutions. According to government data, the initial number under this will be about 7,000 less than the pre-Corona level and about 53,000 less than last year. In a statement, Education Minister Jason Clare said university enrollment numbers would be reduced to 145,000 or around 2023 levels. 30,000 new international students will be able to enroll in 2025, while the number of vocational education and training providers will be limited to only 95,000. In July, visa fees were also more than doubled, so that immigration could be reduced from 528,000 in 2022-2023 to 260,000 by 2024-25.

Canada also gave a blow
Earlier, Canada had also given a big blow to Indian students. The Trudeau government there made some changes in the visa rules, which also came into effect from June 21. After June 21, 2024, foreign nationals will not be able to apply for post-graduation work permit. This process has been stopped. The Canadian government said, foreign nationals can no longer apply for post-graduation work permit at the border. This decision will come into effect with immediate effect. It is going to have a huge impact on hundreds of Indian students.
