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 per cent - 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.
The most in-demand skills this year in Australia include nurses, electricians, secondary school teachers, motor mechanics, metal fitters, carpenters and joiners.
