Update! Yesterday!
Once again, great changes have taken place in Australia`s immigrants!
Following New South Wales, the Queensland Business and skilled Immigration Service suddenly announced that new business immigration applications will not be accepted for the time being from January 2, 2019!

Including 188a, 188b, 188c, 188e, 132e and 132b.
As to when to reopen, we have to wait for further notice from Kunzhou government!
Just this first working day of the New year, the state of Kunzhou to a large number of applicants came to the head!
The road to Australia`s green card is getting harder and harder!
As soon as the news came out, the Chinese Time line had already forwarded it urgently!
As the states shut down a large number of category applications,
What will be the trend of immigration policy this year?
Australia proceeds to close business investment category application!
New state Kunzhou bear the brunt!
In recent years, the number of immigrants to Australia has increased unabated, but Australia`s immigration quota supply has not increased accordingly, such a result can only lead to an unusually fierce competition for immigration quotas!
Policy adjustment, do you still meet the standards of skilled immigrants?
On the 18th of last month! Government, NSW, Australia abruptly informs: suspend all business immigration applications! These include 188A Venture Capital, 188B Investments, 188C Major investors and 132days Entrepreneurship Visa applications from the state of guarantee, blocking many Australian immigrants` access to the new state.
Clearly, New South Wales launched Australia`s first gun to tighten business immigration in FY 2018 / 2019! Everyone is already very nervous about this. Just the first day of this year, Kunzhou shot! Complete closure of business immigration category application!
In fact, this is not the first time Kunzhou has heard the news of business immigration shock!
In recent years, in order to attract overseas immigrant investors, Kunzhou has taken the initiative to plummet the investment threshold for 188A visas and 132visas, reducing the price by up to 1.5 million Australian dollars, thus setting off a wave of emigration from overseas people to Kunzhou. This also made the last fiscal year Kunzhou business investment immigration quota was very popular, ahead of time was looted. In the face of overheated applications and a severe shortage of immigration quotas, Kunzhou`s government chose to tighten immigration policies, such as tightening the 188A visa compliance business type, and excluding nominees for entry-level small businesses.
This year, South Australia government needle also because of the popularity of immigration applications more than expected, the final decision to first inspect the application of immigrant investors, implementation of the principle of priority review, disguised to raise the threshold of immigration!
However, even if the state of Kunzhou and the state of South Australia have successively tightened the immigration policy, the enthusiasm of the investors is still high, which is not affected at all!
Business immigration news repeated this year, and there is a growing trend.
First, South Australia closed its 188 / 132 visa state, guarantee, on Jan. 31 because it exceeded the quota, and reopened on April 12 and closed again for less than a day.
Also on May 11, Queensland government announced that it was closed to accept new state government guarantee applications.
Then, May 16, Victoria government announced that due to too much accumulated pressure temporarily closed the Victoria guarantee application channel.
On the 18th of last month, the new state suspended all business immigrants.
With business immigration applications now closed in Queensland, it appears that half of Australia`s immigrants have been closed.
So, predictably, in the future, Kunzhou, the new state will not rule out further adjustments to business immigration, and will these reforms will lead to the trend of popular immigration states such as Victoria? Will immigration reform eventually raise the investment threshold, or will the overall amount be cut? We don`t know.
There`s been a lot of bad news about immigration policy,
Cut immigration or affect Australia`s economic growth!
For an immigrant country like Australia, immigration policy is definitely a topic of continuous discussion!
At the same time, immigration policy is also a good tool for Australian politicians to use! Every time a general election comes, immigration policy is a necessary tool to cater to voters and fight for votes!
Not long ago, at the (COAG) meeting of Australia`s government committee, held for the first time since Prime Minister Morrison took office, when he proposed a plan to cut the annual quota for permanent immigrants from 190000 to 160000, in addition to the new state government`s explicit agreement to reduce immigration quotas, Other states have expressed their willingness to oppose cuts in immigration!
Among them, Victoria Governor Daniel Andrews made it clear that he would not support the immigration reduction plan: "cut immigration, no!" And insist that this is not the solution to rapidly expanding cities!
The "five-year policy of going up and down the countryside" discussed by everyone this year is even more frightening to the entire immigration community! But the immigrant minister announced to wait until the election before the release of specific policy information, so it is likely to solve urban traffic congestion, lack of supporting facilities and other excuses to go further!
So how important is immigration to the Australian economy?
Glenn Withers, an economics professor at the Australian National University, said cutting immigration by 30000 a year could cause huge losses to Australia`s economy and the well-being of its residents. The economic benefits of these immigrants in a decade are comparable to those of a Wolonggang or a gold coast.
"if Australia cuts immigration by 30000 a year, it will be 300000 in 10 years and 600000 in 20 years," Withers said in a media interview. If the impact of immigration cuts on the Australian economy is quantified, the economic losses caused by the 10-year reduction in immigration will be comparable to the loss of a Wolong Gang or Gold Coast. "
At the same time, immigrants are still the backbone of the Australian workforce!
Australia will have 4.1 million new jobs in the eight-year period 2017-2024, according to a new study. As society ages, Australia will lack a young workforce to fill vacancies.
In the absence of adequate emigration and the constant employment rate, by 2026 the labour force under the age of 35 will be reduced by five hundred thousand. This means that without immigration, Australia will face unprecedented labour shortages.
Australia`s immigration age structure is often younger than the average Australian population, and skills are relatively higher than the average. The continuous introduction of a large number of immigrants can well fill Australia`s severe labor shortage in the coming decades!
brief summary
Australia`s immigration policy has been tightened in recent years, skilled migrants go up and down the country, business migrants shut down in large numbers, the number of migrants planned to cut, these persistent news like bad news, heavy impact on the immigration circle!
With mining capacity saturated, resource prices falling, housing booms off the eastern coast and emigration falling, can Australia`s economy again perform miracles?
