Certain Change in the seasonal occupation visa for New Zealand

People who wish to immigrate to New Zealand on the seasonal occupation basis will have to stick to the policy of recognised seasonal employment which would be practised by the employers. Many employers wish to woo foreign workers to get a maximum benefit from their work will now have to implement the same. But the policy by which an employer can call foreign workers to live seasonally in New Zealand is going to have some amendments with the introduction of a new- New Zealand work permit, mentioned the New Zealand Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman.
The new- New Zealand work visa would be called ‘Supplementary Seasonal Employment Permit’ and would be granted to some foreign workers who are already living in New Zealand on the employment basis. The visa would be granted for a period of 6 months and they would be able to move around SSE approved employers. People would be able to move around and pick up a job of ‘picking fruits’ or seasonal things during the harvest season. The wages given would be the same as those to New Zealand residents, states the new rules. Apart from that the workers would have to have a health insurance which would be organized by the SSE employers minimizing the burden on the employees. The new plan would not put any restrictions and would attract workers to work in New Zealand under seasonal harvesting.

Demanded Skilled Occupations in Australia

The Australian Man Power’s Fourth Annual Talent Shortage Survey highlighted that with the shortfall of skilled occupants in Australia, the employers in Australia are finding it difficult to fill the vacant positions in their companies. The top 10 occupations that are difficult to be filled by the employers list include Engineers, Technicians and Machine Operators. The results of the survey are on the basis of the interviews of nearly 11,500 employers of Australian firms. Although there are many jobless individuals in the market in Australia, but the difference happens when the skills of the employee does not match with the required skills for the job.

The Managing Director Lincoln Crawley said, “Despite high levels of unemployment in many markets, this year’s talent survey suggests a mismatch between the type of individuals available for work and the specific skills that employers are looking for”. According to him, the companies are being taught as how can they mould the already existing employees to help them sharpen their skills more creatively and strategically as how can they utilise them to help them supervise their talents. “Employers are looking for ways to accelerate their business strategy with less people. It’s this specificity of skills required in the individuals that employers are now seeking that is creating a sense of talent shortage amidst an overabundant pool of available workers. This challenge is frustrating both employers and individuals,” he said. The survey highlights that the skilled vacancies are difficult to be filled in recent years with the vacancies ever increasing to fall in a second place this year.

Canada to Attract More Indian students

Good news for those who wish to study in Canada as the immigration bureau would be amending its rules and regulations to make the international students gain a student visa within just seven to ten days. This route is especially taken into account to attract foreign students to come and commence their studies in Canada. The scheme for allowing students to study in Canada will also follow problems of bogus documentations as many immigration agencies have duped students by showing the same leading them to a rejected application by the authorities in Canada. To keep a check on this, the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi would be performing certain checks for the forged documents of fake students allowing genuine students to get an actual chance to study in Canada thereby boosting the number of Indian students going on a student visa. Since there was a high rejection rate in 2008 on student visas, the Canadian High Commission is expecting to draw many Indians students to study in Canada this year. The new scheme for the same would be simple and focus on the genuinity of the financial status of the applicant. As it is widely accepted that Canada has one of the world’s best universities than the US, so the students going to US would be attracted towards choosing Canada instead. The motivation of attracting more students would also be to boost the population gap and also the economy of Canada helping the country generate more money for its economy by welcoming foreign students. There are several advices that the Canadian High Commission is giving to the aspiring students such as-
Choosing a genuine and registered agent with good track record
Choosing a registered university and a right course to study
Genuine documentation for the application files

The chances of filing for an appeal would be very rare if fake documents were found with the applicant, resulting in blacklisting of the applicant as well, reported the Canadian High Commission.
