Nathan Sabherwal, of recruitment agency Randstad, says it's very difficult to find good tech workers in Australia.The global race for the world's most talented people is hotting up - particularly in tech amid a spate of cyber attacks - with immigration experts saying Australia needs to rethink its approach.
"People are still nervous about Australia, we're not getting the same influx of people that we were getting," he said.
"So I think the fact that India is on our doorstep, is now the biggest source of international students for us, I just see that as a huge opportunity that Australia can benefit from, and emulate some of those pathways we see in the rest of the world." She said the lack of migration during the pandemic had shown there was a genuine skills shortage in the tech industry, which meant skilled migration was going to be vital to fill the gap while Australians trained for these roles.
Australia is also facing increased competition from countries including Canada to attract highly skilled migrants. "We have hospitals closing their emergency rooms because we don't have the staff," Ms Lalande told the CEDA conference. She said Century Initiative is advocating for an increase in Canada's population to 100 million by 2100, as a "provocation" because it got people's attention but also because it evoked a vision of what the country could be in the future in terms of influence, power and prosperity.America's immigration system is notoriously slow but it is trying to change this.
A racist bully country - incompetent managers - they keep reminding you “ go where u come from “ -
I completely blame Scott Morrison
Because it refuses the PhD students. There are plenty of students waiting for their visa over one or two years
Because of Australia extremely strict immigration policy and point system.
I don't think people like australia any more What they doing to refugees and woog people it's not fair
Why would anyone in their right mind move to Aus? The economy is complete garbage by global standards. By geography alone, Canada and Europe are miles ahead if you are looking to develop your career. Australia is a dead end
Why is this a bad thing this could lead to wage increases maybe even free university how about investing in aussies instead of shipping in cheap labour
Which one is more migrant friendly and better easier work opportunities in all sector of profession or trades
BS，I’m not going to Canada
The Morrison effect.
We don’t need too many people, let them go
Morrison et al got what they want, a white Australia run by oligarchs.
Skilled? How many more delivery drivers do we need?
What a load of rubbish. If you need to try and boost Trudeau's self esteem by reports. It is already to late for him...
We don’t need to be reminded that Canada is a racist country.
And then realise how F&$king cold it is there and move to Australia
Doesn't help that we just raised the rent of all the shit boxes by 50-70 a week
Australia has a bad reputation for unkindness toward smart, talented people
The most overtaxed expansive country and good luck buy a house
Australia as on date has become the Activists Capital of the world with only 27 million people only .. the current administration..loves refugees illegal migration Criminals extremists.. there is no city night life Cancel Culture Blaming each other rather than being productive
Hope they enjoy the crap climate in both those countries.
Is the race to attract skilled migrants due to each country’s inadequate domestic vocational training, a desire to prop up its fragile property bubble, or both?
Remind me again why Australians are racist 🤣🤣🤣🤣
By definition, this headline is false.
Good we don't want them
Good riddance
probably because they are smart!
Getting a visa is difficult. Many international Ph.D. students have been waiting for their visas for more than 2 years.
SBS agenda 🤮
Australia must softens its tough laws in order to have quality intake of skilled professionals.
Look the whole thing is not great. We should not be taking the brightest from the global south.
Ya because Australia keeps refugees for 10 years in detention centres with out crimes I think all the world knows about Australia now
Australia visa system is quite different from other countries, e.g the max waiting time of student visa in the US is 1 year while for Aus we have some cases in their 3rd year! (Mine just past 2 years!)
Good
The 'smartest' people move to somewhere warm 😝
Covid19Canad speed bump
Time to act now to secure talent and make Australia a global competitor
But i thought the dim wits believe Australians are racist 🤣🤣
Canada ! haha if they are smart they wouldn't take their children. Kids are dying in Canada, no ICU beds no meds . Smart people avoid Canada I wouldn't come to Australia either.
Oh well!
Great news.
