Brits lead surge in immigrants

December 27, 2006

AUSTRALIA welcomed more than 130,000 immigrants in the last fiscal year, most of them swapping the cold of Britain for sun and sand down under.
Figures released by the Department of Immigration show Australia welcomed about 8000 more immigrants than the previous year, with the majority choosing to settle in New South Wales.

While many of the new settlers arrived and stayed in Sydney, Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said immigrants were finding it easier to settle outside the city.

"A network of support services has now been established in regional NSW and throughout Australia and this has made it more attractive for migrants to live and work away from the big metropolitan centres of Sydney and Melbourne," she said.

The biggest increases in immigration were in South Australia and the ACT.

South Australia welcomed 9099 new immigrants, an increase from 6364 in 2004-05, while the capital territory became home for 1372 new Australians, up from 1217.

A building boom, low unemployment and the aesthetics of Canberra were all behind the ACT's attractiveness, Senator Vanstone said.

"The Canberra community is to be congratulated for welcoming these people into their lives so readily and willingly." Unquote.

There is some sort of organisation that sends us temporary staff from time to time - claims to be a govt agency "Helping to place new Migrant Workers" ....however the only staff we have ever seen from there are either Russian or from the Philippines. The last poor Philippino girl could barely speak English, so they gave her a job answering the phone to the Aussie public Of the two Russians I have had most contact with, one as good as admitted she was on a spouse visa as a result of a sham marriage, and the other offered me cash last week to do her job applications for her

Where to Go for Help
Organisations that help you settle are in many places in Australia.
You looked for: [ QLD +o:4502 ] - and we found: 0 matching all your search terms plus 0 matching some of your search terms
No results for 'QLD +o:4502'.

So like I said... all on my own... .
