Indian migrants have emerged as the top source of citizenship by conferral in Australia during the last five years, overtaking the United Kingdom. During the five years between 2013-14 and 2016-17, over 118,000 Indian-born applicants top the list of visa recipients by country under Australia’s annual permanent immigration program. Former Citizenship minister Alan Tudge revealed the country-wise break up of the citizenship statistics in the federal parliament earlier this year.
In the year 2016-17, over 22,000 Indians pledged their allegiance to Australia, while 19,617 people from the UK became Australian citizens. Australia has one of the biggest immigration programs in the world with 190,000 places kept every year for permanent migrants. A large part of the program- nearly 70 percent – is reserved for skilled migrants who bring the in-demand skills to meet the needs of the Australian economy. Over 128,000 permanent visas are issued to skilled migrants with the requisite skills each year.
Occupations such as Software and Applications Programmers and Accountants, which attract a very high number of applicants and seem on track to exhaust their quota. There were over 7,200 places for Software Programmers at the start of this year and 1,231 applicants were issued invites until 11 September to apply for a visa.
