With the Indian government issuing a travel advisory for its students in Australia, the Australian government has now decided to focus more on high skilled jobs than on issuing visas for vocational courses.

Around 20,000 migrants will now be left out, as the Australian government will focus only on high skilled jobs that will help in developing the economy of the nation.

The Australian mining sector welcomed the move as they are running short of skilled workers to meet China’s demands.

This will be a major drawback for the Indian students as Australia has put a check on Indian students who go there for vocational courses and seek residency in the country. With the growing concerns over the recent racial attacks and the bad media publicity, the focus now has shifted to high skilled jobs as the government feels that most of them take up vocational training courses like hairdressing, catering etc., to gain permanent residency.

Speaking on this, the Immigration Minister Chris Evans said, “We want to make sure we're getting the high-end applicants.”

He added that concentration would be on doctors, nurses, engineers and miners.
