🚀 We’re Upgrading the Mothership!
Our site is moving to a shiny new platform.
The engines are warming up, the crew is busy, and it may take a little while ⏳.
Sit tight, we’ll be back better, faster, and cooler than ever. 🌌
Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

“If we lose this opportunity, those skilled migrants will go to other countries,” he said. “We won’t get those engineers, those accountants, they’ll commit to other projects.”

Grabe nakakaexcite, ito yung sabi:
_"Dr Rizvi said applications for employer-sponsored visas had shrunk for the last seven years because of the soft labour market and changes to the scheme that had made it “very unattractive”. “So the question arises, which visa category would you use to bring the people in?” he asked.
Any surge in the migrant intake would likely come through the skilled independent visa category, Dr Rizvi said, which requires prospective migrants to pass a points test to qualify for a visa. The test awards points for attributes such as youth, English language skills, educational qualifications and employment experience.
But Dr Rizvi said it would be necessary to ease the selection criteria “very significantly” to engineer a surge in migration rates."_
