Its already May 12. I believe the government was expected to give details on the new migration rules changes. Does anyone know anything in more details.

Skilled migration program for 2009-10 down from 115,000 to 108,000 which is about 6%.
That doesn't seem so bad until you look at the projected 2008-09 figures which were 135,000 on that figure the 2009-10 program is down 20%.

in 2009–10

I guess after reading the fact sheet. The advise for everyone on CSL is not to book medical or PCC till Co requests for it. The reason being since they have imposed a caps/quota on number of skilled migration, there is a chance that the applicants might be put on hold till next financial year.
