In an interconnected system, a very small amount of initial energy can produce a series of chain reactions, which people call the "domino effect".
On April 18, Australian Prime Minister Tam Po announced the abolition of 457 employer-guaranteed visas, which had been in force for many years, and soon after, 20 days later, Tan Bao came up with another startling news-goverment`s decision to sharply tighten naturalization policy.
For many, the news came too suddenly, as if all their efforts in Australia had been wasted overnight.
What people do not know is that, from December 1, 2016, all of this has long been doomed, just in accordance with the fixed script starring.
A whole week after April 18, Mr Tan`s two deep-water bombs no longer seem to be able to stir up any more waves.
Applicants who had wept in the toilet were long overdue. The abolition of 457 and the tightening of immigration policies ultimately did not touch on the fundamental interests of some people.
Without 457, there are 189 skilled immigrants who can apply, the changes in the list of occupations, the slashing of 213 jobs, and ultimately it doesn`t matter.
As long as the accountant IT works is still on the list, change whatever he wants.
The second message is more distant and less important, as many PR holders have no plans to join Australian citizenship.
And for those who don`t have PR, getting PR is the top priority at the moment.
After the storm, it seems to have finally ushered in the calm of immigration policy.
However, the real storm, in fact, has not yet arrived, huge change, is surging undercurrent.
The prophecy of last December`s document has now come true one by one.
If there is no surprise, Tambo goverment may then abolish the existing PR system and replace it with a new visa system-
This piece of cake, to be cut, has touched on the interests of the vast majority of Chinese in Australia.
Why am I so sure? This starts with a report in Sydney Morning Peak on December 1 last year.
At 03:46 that day, the Morning Peak updated a piece of news in an unobtrusive position on the home page of its website.
According to the headline, people can`t even catch the point, only to see what goverment cabinet documents have been leaked, and it seems to be related to the visa (visa).
Not surprisingly, the news didn`t get the attention of the public. It was like a lonely snowflake, falling to the ground and disappearing in the sight of people.
However, five months later, when I opened the news again and saw the leaked e-mail,
There was only a gust of chill rising in my heart.
This machine file is labeled "protected" and "sensitive"-
Now, looking closely at its contents, you will feel in a trance that this is not a cabinet document, but an unmistakable old prophecy-"the Immigration Board plans to provide visa types such as temporary, transitional, permanent residence and so on."
And the conditions for naturalization,
Trying to tighten social welfare
The ultimate goal is to save money. "
"Transformation of temporary and transitional visas"
On April 18, Mr. Tan announced the abolition of the 457 employer`s visa and replaced it with a new visa called TSS, which also comes in two and four-year categories.
"Reform of naturalization conditions"
In response to the announcement of naturalization reform on April 20th, the difficulty of naturalization of Australian citizens will be greatly increased, with higher English requirements, longer waiting periods and stricter test requirements, as well as explicit requirements for the inclusion of values.
Yes, there aren`t so many temporary resolutions in the world.
There are only long-planned conspiracies and hatchets that have been brewing for a long time.
So what`s the only thing that hasn`t been done in this document yet?
Only the modification of the permanent residence visa is left. And this day will come sooner or later.
Rather, goverment wants to completely abolish the current PR system.
As mentioned in the document, Mr. Tan is planning to add a new visa category, "migrants in transition."
Transitional immigration visa, don`t get dizzy after reading it.
A reform measure in the document requires a non-Australian to obtain a new "transition visa" (provisional visa). Before acquiring permanent residency, or PR.
This "transitional visa" is mandatory.
The information so far disclosed in the document is as follows:
Transition Visa Provisonal Migration Visa
Temporary resident visas will be fully extended to all visa categories, whether you are an independent skilled immigrant, a new TSS employer, a 190-state goverment guaranteed visa, an investment immigrant visa, or a spouse immigrant, or a relative immigrant, who must have a transitional visa first. Get PR. after you meet the criteria.
The duration of the visa transition will range from 2 to 4 years in remote areas and up to four years in first-tier Australian cities.
Transitional visas will not be eligible for PR benefits.
Immigration may pass restrictions among transitional visa holders to cancel visas for some.
During the excessive visa period, holders will have to demonstrate their contribution to Australian society (tax payment) and integration (community activities), otherwise they will also face failure to apply for PR.
In a word, the conclusion is
The current immigration and visa system is:
Temporary residence-permanent residence-Citizen
And then it turned out to be:
Temporary residence-transition-permanent residence-Citizen
The one-button "PR" era will be history, and the road to Australia will be even harder in the future.
Both in time and in money, more will be invested.
Transitional immigrants? In fact, to prevent excessive immigration.
You can see in the terms of the transitional visa, there is such a sentence.
Transitional visas will not be eligible for PR benefits.
And in the documents leaked by the Morning Peak, it was also mentioned that
The ultimate goal is to save money by tightening social benefits.
To put it bluntly, the current PR system is too loose.
As a result, many people have taken PR and then deceived them into eating and drinking welfare. Therefore, Australia`s goverment should prevent excessive immigration and raise the threshold of PR.
The possibility of transitional immigration? Almost 100%.
How the document was leaked is now unknown.
But its accuracy, I think, is not a simple coincidence.
Then there are two noteworthy points in the document, which appeared in December last year, when there was a passage like this:
The person who drafted the plan hoped to put the idea into practice in the short term.
Five months later, it was short enough to announce the abolition of 457 and tighten naturalization in just two days.
The other point is that the document is concerned that such reforms are likely to have an impact on Australia`s social cohesion.
It could even lead to an increase in extreme violence and create a `two-tier society` in Australia.
And just a few days ago, a petition for a new deal on naturalization was quietly launched.
The new deal was boycotted by all parties, two days 20, 000 petitions, a bitter day.
All sectors of the Australian community have also issued a wide range of warnings:
This scenario is exactly in line with the projections in the document.
In a word, decision-makers have known everything six months ago, including the reforms to be carried out, the public`s reaction, and the measures to deal with them in black and white.
What`s left is that it`s time to follow the script at a fixed time.
As for what this script is,
Probably.
Reduce the impact of low-end immigration on society, stabilize the existing Australian base, and ensure Australia`s economic prosperity by exploiting unimmigrant foreigners and migrant transition visa holders.
This is the future direction of Australian immigrants, but also the main consideration of the current goverment.
epilogue
At the beginning, I wrote that in an interconnected system, a very small amount of initial energy can produce a series of chain reactions, which people call the "domino effect."
Now that the first domino collapsed on April 18th, the sword of Damocles, which hangs over our heads, is about to fall.
Therefore, or the old saying, learn English well, take the points early, immigrants should be early, and move and cherish.
