New Immigrants To Face More Scrutiny
July 31, 2007
MIGRANTS seeking to live permanently in Australia will face extra questions over their ‘adaptability and resourcefulness’ under changes outlined by Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews.
Mr Andrews told an audience in Sydney on Tuesday night the assessment changes, including an applicant’s capacity to integrate into Australia’s way of life, would affect all new applicants for permanent visas and provisional visas that lead to permanent residency.
