Updated migration laws in Australia create 'favourable prospects' for Indian people, a newspaper has claimed.
Major changes to Australia's immigration rules could favourably affect the prospects of future immigrants from India, the country's Economic Times has reported.
The Australian government recently announced that a new Skill Occupation List (SOL) would come into effect from July 1st, in a bid to attract only the most skilled migrants.
Devinder Sandhu, chairman and managing director of leading immigration consultancy WWICS, told the newspaper that, amid the sharpened guidelines, Australia would offer more attractive opportunities to the people of India.
He said: "With the changed scenario, Australia will soon become the number one destination for Indians seeking migration abroad."
Under Australia's new SOL, all major-skilled professionals and tradespeople are welcomed to apply for federal and state-sponsored programmes.
Earlier this year, a ranking of the top expat locations, commissioned by the bank HSBC, named Australia the best place to emigrate to, with superior health and integration prospects cited as the main reasons for its appeal.
