IMSVISA Services: Australian visa application advice and support

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has just released its report on the 2011 working holiday scheme. Overall there was an increas of some 7% on the total number of visa grants since the same time last year. The country responsible for the largest single increase was Ireland where the total number of first working holiday visas granted rose to 18,274 - a whopping 87% more than the previous year. An indication of the tougher times in Ireland. 

 I was fortunate enough to spend a few days in Western Australia last week. The boom economy is palpable and there is just an air of confidence about the place that we don't feel in the Eastern States. Despire the current financial woes WA is continuing to expand and needs more skilled workers. So much so that Perth itself has now been designated as a regional centre for the purposes of the Regioal Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS). This is great news for people with the right mix of skills and experience and who are reqdy to move within the next 6 months.

 An article just published in the respected Irish Echo points to the growing problem with people overstaying their visas and suggests some remedies. The article reinforces what we have been saying here before - if you are coming to Australia on a working holiday visa and decide that you would like to stay on don't leave it to the last minute to look at the options that might be available. Going underground won't do much good in the longer term either
