各國移民新政盤點：澳洲或將提高門檻.2012年05月25日
法國移民政策突出選擇性
作為歐洲移民大國的法國實行選擇性移民政策，一方面，對法國需要的人才敞開大門；另一方面，嚴格移民准入制度，嚴厲打擊非法移民。
根據法國統計局的數據，截至2008年，法國移民數量523.7萬，佔總人口的8.4%。當時，法國內政部曾估計，非法居留法國的外國人，為20萬，至40萬，每年，湧入的非法移民，為8萬，至10萬。
法國以平衡原則管控移民，對不遵守共和國法律的移民採取有力限制措施，同時，對選擇合法途徑進入法國的移民採取謹慎歡迎政策。法國一直以來，都是歐洲的“移民天堂”。 2005年，兩名移民少年，為避警而觸電身亡，引發法國全國騷亂後，法國強化了移民管理制度，移民准入日趨嚴格。
2005年，法國推行“選擇性移民”政策，即，根據法國經濟需要選擇勞動力，並接納“持有投資、科研、文化及人文項目”的外國人。 2006年7月的新移民法規定：增設新的居留證，即，《 優秀人才居留證》，鼓勵擁有專業技術，能對法國社會繁榮起積極作用的人士，來法國定居工作。
移民機構加大對假結婚的打擊，同時，取消了無證移民在法國住滿10年，即可自動獲得合法身份的規定，並將拒絕頒發居留證與遣送出境令的決定程序，合二為一。
法國使領館頒發的簽證，含有生物特徵信息。以旅遊簽證入境後，非法居留者，即便扔掉護照，法國當局可通過其生物特徵及簽證記錄，確認其需要被遣返的目的國。對以家庭團聚為名申請移民的，政策通過更嚴格的住房和收入條件，規定予以監控。加大打擊非法移民，對已進入法國，而無合法身份者，採取自願或強制遣返的辦法。
2012年，法國公佈新法令要求：申請法國國籍者，法語水平要達到B1級，申請人要證明了解法國的歷史文化和社會，水平，相當於六年級學生水平。
移民德國，須跨“三歷”檻
作為歐洲經濟火車頭，德國在當前經濟衰退的背景下，成為歐洲內外不少國家移民的目的地，國內用工需求的擴張，使德國一定程度上，對海外移民敞開懷抱。不過，德國並不是移民者的天堂，技能要求、資金數量，以及嚴格的內部檢查，成為外國人在德國居留和工作不得不跨越的門檻。
今年4月初，德國《 世界報》刊載了一則特殊的“招工啟事”，援引德國聯盟黨議會黨團副主席富克斯的話說，德國不少地區勞動力緊缺，呼籲歐洲其他國家的年輕人，到德國來工作。
不過，看似“你情我願”的移民潮並不意味著德國對外來人員大開國門，在德國生活和工作還需要滿足學歷、資歷、財力等方面的條件。
按照德國2005年1月開始實行的《居留法》，非歐盟成員國公民在德國學習期間，每年最多可工作90天或180個半天；在德國工作需要提供工作合同、語言水平、學歷、工作經驗等證明文件；在德國成立公司則需要提供商業計劃書並滿足投資25萬歐元以上、提供至少5個工作崗位等條件。
與德國公民結婚是入籍德國的一個途徑，一些外國人也想出了假結婚的辦法，試圖渾水摸魚。不過，德國外國人管理部門會針對可疑移民仔細盤問，對外國人與本國公民分開問話，以判斷是否為假夫妻。另外，移民局還會突擊檢查，比如清早登門，看看“夫妻”衣物、洗漱用品是否放在一起。如果露餡，造假者非但移民願望落空，還將面臨巨額罰款。
德國在各個州設立容留所，收容無法立即遣返的非法移民。非法移民在容留所內的基本生活能得到滿足，但行動受限。一旦德國政府確定移民的真實身份和原籍，就將把他們遣返。
德國地處歐洲中部，鄰國眾多。近年來，德國投入大量人力，控制非法移民進入德國。在德國國內，機場、火車站等地，有警察檢查外國人證件，檢查其是否非法入境或非法滯留。 (新華社/記者 唐志強)
俄羅斯多管齊下管理移民
隨著全球化進程的加快，近年來有越來越多的海外移民進入俄羅斯境內，其中非法移民佔了很大比例。大量的非法移民給俄羅斯經濟和社會帶來很多問題。近年來，俄羅斯採取多種措施管理移民，一方面引導高學歷高專業技能的移民移入俄羅斯，另一方面加大對非法移民的打擊力度。
根據聯合國公佈的世界移民報告，俄羅斯僅次於美國，是世界上第二大移民目的地國家。根據俄羅斯移民局的最新數據，該國現有海外移民總數超過900萬人。相較於2008年金融危機前，這個數字已經有所減少。 2005年時，俄羅斯擁有超過1200萬海外移民。
俄羅斯的海外移民中，有四分之三來自高加索和中亞地區的獨聯體國家。外來移民大多在商業和建築領域獲取收入，例如俄羅斯幾千個露天市場裡，超過60%的從業者為外來移民。
俄羅斯聯邦安全會議秘書帕特魯舍夫此前曾表示，該國就業市場上充斥著“低技能”的移民，他們大部分沒有特別的專業和資歷，對俄語的掌握程度不高，在很大程度上無法適應俄羅斯社會。
在湧入俄羅斯的移民中，非法移民佔了很大的比例。根據俄羅斯移民局估計，非法移民數量在500萬以上。大量的非法移民對俄羅斯的社會穩定構成多重威脅，主要表現在以下幾個方面：
逃稅給國家財政造成損失。因為身份不合法，非法移民游離於國家正式就業和納稅體系之外，給國家經濟造成嚴重損害。俄羅斯移民局局長康斯坦丁曾對媒體表示，非法移民每年僅因逃稅就給俄羅斯帶來高達80億美元的經濟損失。
惡化國內治安。部分非法移民罔顧法律，在俄羅斯從事犯罪活動。在較為惡劣的犯罪中，例如槍械、毒品及精神類藥物的買賣等，有相當一部分是由非法移民實施的。
擠占勞動崗位、推高當地失業率。為了維持生計，非法移民不得不同當地民眾爭奪低端勞動崗位，從而造成廉價勞動力供過於求、工資水平下降、失業率上升。
非法移民引發俄部分民眾的民族主義情緒。近些年，俄羅斯數個大城市均出現了極端民族主義組織，其中最臭名昭著的就是以青年人為主的“光頭黨”。這些組織使用恐怖手段襲擊外國人和本國外族人，使極端主義犯罪案件呈現上升趨勢。
俄羅斯權威民調機構列瓦達中心此前的一項調查結果顯示，有超過半數的俄羅斯人認為“應該限制外來人口來俄”；有34%的人認為，“俄羅斯在許多方面的貧困是由非俄羅斯族人造成的”；僅有20%的受訪者對“來自周邊國家的非俄羅斯族的工人”持正面評價。
近幾年來，俄羅斯頒布和實施了一系列移民政策的法律法規，通過制度建設和政府引導緩解大量移民帶來的社會問題。這些政策實施取得一些成績，並體現在查獲的非法移民數量有所減少。
將吸引境外的俄羅斯族人作為移民工作的優先方向。政府擬定了一系列優惠措施，包括簡化入境登記和國籍辦理手續、從法律上保障其享有各種權利、提供就業支持、免除數年的商業稅等。並在吸引外來移民時，注意引導其向遠東和西伯利亞等人口較少的幾個邊疆區流動。
規範移民管理。自2007年起，幾項新的管理國外移民的法律法規開始生效，並引入了“勞動配額”的概念。政府根據國家對外來勞動力的實際需求確定勞動配額的數量，並優先分配給急需的相關專業領域人才。
新的法律還做出了硬性規定，要求移民在出入境時提供學歷、專業技術證明和個人履歷，提供假材料的移民將被處以罰款，甚至可能數年內被禁止入境。
加重非法移民以及違反移民法的雇主需要承擔的責任。外國人如果違反入境規定或在俄羅斯境內居留的規定，需交納數千盧布(1盧布約合0.2元人民幣)的罰款；為非法移民提供各類場地的單位或個人將被處以數万至數十萬盧布的罰款；僱用非法移民的單位將被處以數十萬盧布的罰款，並勒令停業數月。
建立移民管理系統，加強國際合作。未來俄羅斯將在邊境口岸和移民檢查部門配備現代化技術設備，並建設統一的外來人員信息數據庫。 (新華社/記者 曹妍 報導員 薇拉)
2012年以來加拿大移民政策變化動態
2012年對於加拿大移民注定是不平凡的一年，新政策和新的舉措計劃不斷出台，隨著5月進入炎炎夏日，加拿大移民似乎也隨著溫度的上升而“亂花漸欲迷人眼，淺草才能沒馬蹄”。
2012年不僅加拿大移民政策變化不斷，各國移民政策均有調整，國內申請人及移民機構始終被各種移民消息所困擾，加拿大政策變化幅度之大，讓很多沒有經驗的移民公司也疲於應付，在此，邁斯林集團移民專家為大家整理一下近期加拿大移民政策變化的軌跡，希望可以幫助移民申請人捋清頭緒，進一步把握加拿大移民政策走向。
2012年2月17日，“加拿大移民顧問監管委員會”第一次會議透露，聯邦移民部目前正在致力修改的10項移民政策，其中最快的將會在今年7月施行。十項政策具體內容如下：
1.為年輕的聯邦技術移民申請加分。
2.為在非加拿大本土的工作經驗減分。
3.要求技術移民申請者在遞交移民申請時，提供來自第三方的語言成績，而且需要達到移民部對語言要求的最低標準。
4.讓僱用海外技術的雇主更了解移民步驟。
5.重新策劃投資和企業家移民項目。
6.簡化並加快勞工的申請步驟和時間，政府同時還計劃重新策劃整個申請項目。
7.加快各項移民申請時間，政府目前已經確定即將使用一個名叫“Global Case Management System”的辦公軟件，軟件的投入使用可以讓申請更電子化，快捷化，該系統計劃在未來兩三年內投入使用。
8.更新聯邦技術移民的職業名單。
9.擴大加拿大經驗類移民(CEC)的申請範圍，同時加快審理時間。
10.省提名(PNP)移民須提交語言成績，計劃今年7月開始實行。
這十項議案中的絕大部分新政策開始或已經實現。
2012年3月7日，聯邦移民部部長康尼提出：國家移民制度體係將進行轉折性的改變，目的在於解決移民申請的積壓，同時改善國家勞動力市場的人力欠缺問題。被積壓的移民申請人將被鼓勵撤銷舊申請，然後重新通過處理更快的省提名移民項目提出申請。
2012年3月15日，聯邦技術移民申請打分標準發生改變。工作經驗，原來工作4年及以上，得分21分，改為現在15分。被減掉的6分，其中有2分加到了年齡，年齡35歲以下得滿分12分，超齡減分。還有4分被加到語言，第一語言由原來的16分漲到20分，也就是雅思考4高的，原來是16分，現在是20分。第二語言最高得8分不變。
2012年3月19日，為解決聯邦技術移民積壓，聯邦政府與8個省及地區合作的“聯邦技術移民積壓減少試驗計劃”開始。有5個行業的聯邦技術移民舊個案申請人，有機會符合安省推薦提名計劃而獲得加快審批，包括﹕電腦分析員及顧問﹑軟件開發員﹑互動媒體程式員及開發員﹑財務及投資分析員以及數學家。加入該項計劃的8個省及地區包括﹕安省﹑卑詩省﹑阿省﹑薩省﹑緬省﹑斯高沙省﹑紐芬蘭省及西北地區。
2012年3月20日，為了進一步解決魁北克移民局移民申請積壓案件的處理速度，魁省移民局宣布效仿聯邦移民新政策，從2012年3月20日到2013年3月31日，魁省移民局對投資移民項目的申請設置2700個的限額。這一政策變化雖然邁斯林移民早在聯邦實施新政之後第一時間準確預測，但是對於國內加拿大移民申請人來講還是猶如“晴天霹靂”一般。 2700名額十余天迅速被申請人搶申一空，4月12日，魁北克投資移民關門大吉。由於聯邦投資移民新一輪配額尚未開放，政策是否變化尚不可知。加拿大投資移民似乎已經“窮途末路”，邁斯林集團審時度勢，第一時間推出薩省省提名項目，投資條件較低、申請流程快速、材料文件要求簡單等優勢成為移民加拿大最後的一根救命稻草。
2012年3月29日，30萬技術移民申請將被退回，“一刀切”計劃開始。加拿大政府計劃退回近30萬份技術移民申請，以解決嚴重移民申請積壓問題。歷經數年等待，全球數十萬人申請加拿大技術移民人士，終於發現移民加拿大隻不過是美夢一場。此次被劃出輪候名單上的是2008年2月27日以前的申請人，其申請處理費將全數退還，此舉意在消除技術移民申請積壓過重問題。
2012年4月11日，加拿大移民部長康尼近日在薩斯喀徹溫省(簡稱薩省)宣布，從今年7月1日開始，絕大部分省提名移民(PNP)中低級技術移民申請人，一律需要參加語言考試，在聽、說、讀、寫等四個領域，必須達到加拿大語言標準(CLB)4級，藉此確保PNP移民有一定的英法文水平。
邁斯林移民秉持誠信、專業、優質的服務理念，無論在廣大申請人中還是與各國使館、移民局都有良好的口碑，邁斯林移民將繼續通過加拿大、美國、澳大利亞等分公司以及與各國移民局良好的關係等獨家信息渠道，密切關注各國移民政策動態，第一時間為廣大國內移民申請人通報政策相關信息及政策應對最佳方案。邁斯林集團致力於打造移民行業鑽石品牌，您的口碑與信賴將是我們最好的廣告。 (新華網)
澳大利亞移民新政或提高移民門檻
繼加拿大陸續調整移民政策後，此前一直“風平浪靜”的澳大利亞移民政策或將調整。有消息稱，今年7月1日起，澳大利亞移民局可能將對商業移民政策進行大幅調整，商業移民類163簽證將被取消，由新的簽證類別取代，而門檻則會大幅提高。未來澳洲移民何去何從？移民申請人又該如何抓住這最後時機搶辦呢？日前，記者就此採訪了多位業內人士。
焦點一：新政如調整，澳洲移民何去何從？
雖然官方還沒有出台新政，但南京各中介都已經從“可靠渠道”獲悉，新政或將於近期實施，並且開始著手為客戶加緊準備材料，趕在新政出台之前過關。
據了解，此次新政調整可能會將門檻繼續調高，內容集中在三個方面：其一是商業移民類163簽證將被取消，換成新的簽證類別，從而從多方面調高要求；其二是維多利亞州(墨爾本市所在的州)將於5月28日停止接受州政府擔保申請。其三，新政可能將採取打分制，公佈一個基本要求，但除了這個基本要求之外，還將根據一些特定的因素對申請人進行評分，如年齡、英語程度、經商經驗、公司淨資產等。
焦點二：如何抓住最後時間搶辦？
據了解，澳大利亞投資移民大致分為163、164、165三個類別。不同的類別對應不同的商業精英。通俗地說，163的申請人針對的是公司經營者，擁有30%的公司股份，年營業額在30萬澳幣以上；164針對的是公司高管，公司營業額達到1000萬澳幣；165則針對資產龐大的證券、投資等精英。對於國內申請人來說，大部分都是走163方式申請，這也就是為什麼163可能成為調整急先鋒的重要原因之一。
英達出國相關人士介紹，3天時間，他們可以為客戶辦完報表審核、投資計劃書等手續，迅速把材料遞到移民局。只要趕在新政出台之前遞上，申請人的材料都是有效的。接下來的時間則比較漫長。和中移民相關人士介紹，隨著移民澳洲的國內申請人越來越多，使得辦理週期大大拉長。比如以前平均12個月可以辦理好163，現在則需要1年半左右。而1年後，申請人通過審核，則可以獲得澳洲4年臨時居留簽證，中小學孩子在澳讀書免費，在澳洲待上2年時間，從事生意經營，如果2年內經營業績不錯，則可以獲得正式綠卡。 (現代快報)
美國移民政策優勢漸失、影響猶存
由移民建立起來的美國不僅有著悠久的移民傳統，也是世界上最大的移民國家。
不過，美國紐約市長邁克爾•布隆伯格5月22日在紐約論壇上對美國移民政策表示擔憂，稱，受不利移民政策影響，美國正在喪失全球人才競爭優勢。
布隆伯格在主題為“人才競爭”的討論會上公佈了一份研究報告。研究結果表明，在全球人才競爭加劇的今天，美國移民法沒能適應經濟發展的需要，人為設置的簽證限制和嚴重的官僚體系障礙將很多移民拒之門外，造成大量人才流失和經濟損失。據美國國稅局的統計數據，2011年放棄美國公民身份及綠卡的人數達到約1800人，比2007年增長9倍，超過2007年到2009年的3年總和。
布隆伯格說，美國原本是世界頂級人才的嚮往之地，是工作最勤勞的人實現夢想的首選之地，而優質的移民人才也是美國經濟領先全球的重要原因。 “但現在，我們的移民優勢正在快速喪失。 ”他認為，當前美國政府制定移民政策主要出於選舉考慮，是黨派鬥爭妥協的結果，完全不考慮其對經濟發展的影響。
報告警告說，如果美國不及時改革移民法律，將很快面臨創新人才短缺、年輕勞動力短缺、創業數量減少等諸多問題。
其實，隨著加拿大、澳大利亞等國的投資移民或定居政策門檻相繼提高，美國投資移民的綜合優勢得以凸顯。因美國次貸危機，美國經濟的發展受到影響，政府不斷地放寬投資移民政策希望吸引更多的國外資金來為經濟發展助力，致使移民美國的申請數量不斷上升。
目前現行的美國EB-5投資移民法案到2012年9月底到期，也就是說這項法案又面臨著一個延期與否的問題。對此，之前業界也是眾論紛紛，對於最後的結果也是尚未可知。但是從近期移民局內部放出消息來看：美國參議院或將現行的EB-5投資移民法案延長2年，目前參議院還在商討是否延長3年，進一步信息將會在近期公佈。至於是否將EB-5區域中心法案變為永久法案這一說，移民局還在商榷之中，預計未來幾週內應該有結果。
僑外專家表示：目前美國仍未走出金融危機的陰影，經濟狀況一直不是很好，政府需要各種投資來解決當地的就業問題。而EB-5投資方式自啟動以來對美國當地就業乃至經濟都做出了極大貢獻，美國政府是十分歡迎並且給予支持的。同時，美國EB-5投資移民又是一個旨在吸引全球各地投資者及企業家，以幫助美國創造就業崗位的項目，可謂是目前取得美國綠卡最快的途徑之一，深受各國投資者的青睞。在這樣的雙贏局面下，此次法案到期後繼續延期2年也是一個在情理之中的結果。
美國EB-5區域中心項目一直以申請週期短、申請條件相對寬鬆獲得青睞。尤其在近兩年，加拿大投資移民政策調整頻繁，並於2011年和2012年先後關閉了加拿大聯邦投資移民和加拿大魁北克投資移民兩個傳統項目，加之加拿大投資移民不斷漲價，對材料要求的複雜細緻、審理時間長和移民監等問題，迫使很多人不得不轉而選擇要求相對簡單、速度快、沒有移民監的美國EB-5投資移民。
此外，非法移民問題一直都是美國社會的熱點話題之一。目前，美國共有超過1000萬非法移民。據統計，2011財年，美國入境和海關執法局遣返的非法移民超過39.6萬人。在全部被遣返人員中，超過21.6萬人有犯罪記錄。
面對非法移民問題，美國國內一直有很大的爭議。有人認為既然非法移民已經身在美國，就應該獲得公民的身份，而也有很多受非法移民影響的州認為應該嚴厲打擊非法移民。由於美國各州可以獨立通過法案，因此各州對打擊非法移民問題把握的尺度不盡相同。比如2010年，亞利桑那州就通過最為嚴厲的打擊非法移民法案。該法案把非法移民定性為違法犯罪行為，並規定，如果警察只要對一個人的移民身份有所懷疑，便有權查驗他的身份證，或進行進一步的盤問工作。而這一法案被許多人權組織指責為過分擴大政府權力並干涉人身自由。而美國就此也正在對移民法展開新一輪的大討論。
對於管理和防止非法移民滲透美國社會，美國政府也在逐年改進移民法。例如，在旅行時要出示合法身份證件，申請駕照和其他一些證件時也必須出示合法身份證件。自從“9•11”恐怖襲擊之後，非法移民問題往往由國土安全局參與處理，非法居留問題的性質就變得嚴重得多。 (綜合新華社 國際在線)
英國移民政策繼續收緊
繼今年早些時候收緊發放技術工人和留學生簽證之後，英國政府5月10日宣布提高英國公民海外親屬來英團聚的門檻，進一步控制移民數量。
英國首相卡梅倫宣布，申請到英國團聚的親屬要能講英語，要有足夠的現金維持日常生活，而不是指望在英領取救濟金，增加納稅人負擔。英國政府考慮為打算將親屬接到英國的人設定最低收入標準。
去年，家庭移民佔英國非歐盟移民數量的五分之一，內政部共發放約5萬個簽證給英國公民或可永久居留者的親屬。
與此同時，英國政府將加大力度打擊通過假結婚騙取居留資格的不法行為。這一做法如今相當普遍，許多人為移民英國先與英國人結婚，獲得永久居留權後離婚，再婚之後又為新配偶申請英國簽證。
談到這種情況，卡梅倫說，英國政府再也不能坐視移民制度被濫用而無所作為。政府正在考慮改革公民資格測試，納入英國歷史和文化等內容。他還呼籲英國公眾及時向邊境局揭發非法移民。
英國聯合政府去年5月上台以來，將控制移民數量作為重要工作目標之一，計劃在本屆議會期滿(2015年)前，將進入英國的淨移民數量從每年20多萬減到數万。為此，英國政府決定從控制來英的非歐盟成員國技術工人、留學生和英國公民的海外親屬入手。
為限制非歐盟國家的技術工人，英國將2011年至2012年有關簽證發放數量限制在2.17萬。不過，年薪高於15萬英鎊(約合149萬元人民幣)者不在限制之列，公司內部調動人員如年薪超過4萬英鎊(約合40萬元人民幣)也不受限制。
“新政”重視高薪和緊缺技術工人，這意味著餐飲和衛生保健等低薪行業將難以得到其需要的海外僱員。目前因廚師短缺，英國一些中餐館已步履維艱。
英國政府採取的限制海外留學生措施包括：打擊騙取學生簽證的“假學生”及其幫兇“假學校”；嚴控家庭成員到英陪讀；對招收海外留學生的私營繼續教育學院進行更嚴格的資格鑑定等。
英國政府限制發放工作簽證和留學生簽證的做法招致工商企業和教育部門的質疑。英國工商企業擔心競爭力將因移民限製而受到影響，教育部門則憂慮在生源大戰中敗給美國、澳大利亞和加拿大等競爭對手，失去海外留學生帶來的龐大收入
National immigration inventory of the New Deal: Australia will increase the threshold of .2012 years May 25
French immigration policy highlights the selective
The implementation of a selective immigration policy in France as a country of European immigrants, on the one hand, the French talent needed to open the door; the other hand, strict immigration entry system to crack down on illegal immigration.

Immigrants in Germany, to be cross three calendar threshold
As Europe’s economic locomotive, Germany, in the context of the current economic downturn, the destination of immigrants of many countries outside Europe, the expansion of domestic demand for labor, Germany, to a certain extent, overseas immigrants with open arms. However, Germany is not the immigrant’s paradise, skill requirements, the amount of money, as well as strict internal checks had to cross the threshold of the residence and work of foreigners in Germany.
In early April of this year, Germany “Le Monde” published a special “job wanted”, citing Fuchs, vice president of the German Alliance Party parliamentary group, saying that labor shortages in many areas in Germany, called on other European countries, young people, to Germany to work.
However, it seems your situation I would like to “waves of immigration does not mean that the German foreign personnel opened the door, living and working in Germany, also need to meet the qualifications, experience, financial and other conditions.

Illegal immigrants within the shelter of the basic living can be met, but with limited mobility. Once the German government to determine the true identity and origin of the immigrants, it will repatriate them.

In Germany, airports, railway stations and other places, the police checking foreigners documents, to check whether illegal immigrants or illegal aliens. (Xinhua / Reporter Tang Zhiqiang)
Russia’s multi-pronged approach to migration management
With the acceleration of the globalization process in recent years, more and more overseas immigrants to enter the territory of Russia, including illegal immigrants accounted for a large proportion. A large number of illegal immigrants to Russia’s economic and social problems. In recent years, Russia has adopted various measures to manage migration, on the one hand, to guide the high professional skills of highly educated immigrants moved to Russia, on the other hand to increase efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
The United Nations World Day of Migrants, Russia, after the United States is the world’s second largest immigrant destination countries. According to the latest data of the Russian immigration, the existing total number of overseas migrants in the country more than 900 million people. Than before the financial crisis in 2008, this figure has decreased. 2005, Russia has more than 12 million overseas migration.
Overseas migrants in Russia, three-quarters of the CIS countries from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Immigrants mostly in commercial and construction to earn income, such as the thousands of open-air markets in Russia, more than 60% of the practitioners of immigrants.
Russian Federation Security Council Secretary Patrushev had previously said the country’s job market flooded with low-skilled immigrants, most of them no special professional and qualifications, mastery of Russian, to a large extent can not be adapted to the Russian society.
The influx of Russian immigrants, illegal immigrants accounted for a large proportion. According to Russian immigration estimates, the number of illegal immigrants in more than five million. The large number of illegal immigrants might pose a threat to social stability in Russia, mainly in the following areas:
Tax evasion to the state’s financial losses. Because the identity is not legal, illegal immigration is separated from the outside of formal employment and tax system, causing serious damage to the national economy. Russian Bureau of Immigration Constantine told the media that illegal immigrants every year only bring up to $ 8 billion in economic losses due to tax evasion, gave Russia.
Deterioration of internal security. Some of the illegal immigrants ignore the law, engage in criminal activities in Russia. More serious crimes, such as firearms, narcotics and psychotropic drugs, the sale of a considerable part of the implementation by illegal immigrants.
Squeeze labor jobs, pushing the local unemployment rate. To make a living, illegal immigration must not local people compete for low-end labor jobs, resulting in oversupply of cheap labor, lower wages and rising unemployment.
Illegal immigration caused by the nationalist sentiments of the Russian part of the population.

It is said that from July 1 this year, Australia Immigration business immigration policy will be a substantial adjustment in business immigration class 163 visa will be canceled and replaced by a new visa category, while the threshold will be a substantial increase. Australia’s immigration go from here? Applicants for emigration to how should seize this last opportunity to grab it? Recently, this reporter interviewed a number of people in the industry.
The focus of one: the New Deal, such as adjustments, Australia’s immigration go from here?
Although the official introduction of the New Deal, but the intermediary in Nanjing have been learned from reliable sources, the New Deal, or will soon be implemented, and begin to step up preparations for the customer materials in time to pass before the New Deal.
It is understood that the New Deal, the threshold adjustment may continue to increase, the content is focused on three aspects: one is business immigration class 163 visa will be canceled, and replaced with a new visa category, which in many ways to increase requirements; Second, the State of Victoria (Melbourne City, where the state) will be May 28 to stop accepting applications for the state government guarantee. Third, the New Deal is likely to take the points system, announced a basic requirement, but in addition to the basic requirements, will be on the applicant based on certain factors to rate, such as age, English proficiency, business experience, the company net assets .
Focus: how to seize the final rush to do?
It is understood that the Australian investment immigration is broadly divided into 163,164,165 in three categories. Different categories corresponding to different business elite. In layman’s terms, 163 applicants for the company, with 30% of the shares of the Company, the annual turnover of more than 300,000 Australian dollars; 164 company executives, the company achieved turnover of 10 million Australian dollars; 165 huge asset securities, investment and other elite.

The Yingda related parties abroad for three days, they can after finishing statements audit for customers, investment plans and other procedures, materials handed the immigration quickly. Just in time before the New Deal handed the applicant’s materials are effective. The next time is relatively long. And the immigration people, as more and more domestic applicants to immigrate to Australia, making the processing cycle is greatly elongated. Example, an average of 12 months for a good 163, you need about one and a half years. 1 year later, the applicant approved, you can get a four-year temporary residence visa in Australia, free primary and secondary school children studying in Australia for two years in Australia, engaged in the business operation, if the good results of operations for the year, you can get the official green card.

The advantages of U.S. immigration policy gradually lost, the impact of lingering
Built by immigrants, the United States not only has a long tradition of immigration, but also the world’s largest nation of immigrants.
However, the United States New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Forum in New York on May 22, U.S. immigration policy expressed concern affected by the adverse immigration policy, the United States is losing its global talent competitive advantage.
Bloomberg published a research report in the discussion of the theme of the competition for talent at the meeting. The results show that intensified global competition for talent, the United States immigration law did not meet the needs of economic development, man-made set of visa restrictions and bureaucratic system barriers will shut out many immigrants, resulting in a large number of brain drain and economic losses. According to the IRS statistics, in 2011 to give up U.S. citizenship and green card number to about 1,800 people, an increase of 9 times more than in 2007, more than the sum of three years from 2007 to 2009.
Bloomberg said, was originally a yearning for the world’s top talent, the first choice of the most industrious people realize their dreams, the quality of immigrant talent of the important reasons of the U.S. economy, the global leader in “But now, the our immigrants advantage is quickly lost.” He believes that the current immigration policy, the U.S. government to develop mainly because of electoral considerations, the result of compromise of partisan struggle, with no regard to its impact on economic development.
The report warns that if the U.S. does not timely reform of immigration laws, will soon face a shortage of creative talents, a shortage of young workers, entrepreneurs reduce the number of many other issues.
In fact, as Canada, Australia and other countries investment in immigrant settlement policy threshold have increased U.S. investment immigration advantages be highlighted. Affected due to the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, the U.S. economy, the government relaxed investment immigration policy is expected to attract more foreign capital for economic development help, resulting in increasing the number of applications to immigrate to the United States.
The current EB-5 Immigrant Investor Act due to the end of September 2012, which means that the bill is facing a matter of extension. In this regard, before the industry is also all the theory have, for the final outcome is not yet known. But the view from within the recent immigration news release: The U.S. Senate or the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Act be extended for two years, the Senate is still discussing whether to extend for three years, further information will be announced in the near future. As for whether the EB-5 regional centers bill into a permanent bill, said, immigration is still questionable, and expected results in the next few weeks.
The United States is not yet out of the shadow of the financial crisis, the economic situation has not been a good government needs a variety of investment to solve the employment problems of the local, overseas Chinese and foreign experts, said: EB-5 investment since startup on local employment and even the economy have made a significant contribution to the U.S. government is very welcome and give support. The same time, the United States EB-5 Immigrant Investor is designed to attract investors around the world and entrepreneurs to help job creation projects, can be described as one of the fastest way to currently obtain a U.S. green card, by the international investors all ages. The bill after the expiration of 2 years is a reasonable extension results in such a win-win situation.
U.S. EB-5 Regional Center Project has been the application cycle is short, relatively loose eligibility criteria to obtain the favor. Especially in the past two years, frequent adjustment of Canadian investment immigration policy, and has shut down in 2011 and 2012 Canadian federal investment in immigration and in Quebec, Canada Immigrant Investor two traditional items, coupled with the Canadian Immigrant Investor continued price increases, the complexity of the material requirements careful, hearing a long time and the residence, forcing many people have turned to the requirements are relatively simple, fast, no emigration. EB-5 Immigrant Investor.

According to statistics, in fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau of repatriated illegal immigrants more than 39.6 million people. All repatriated more than 216,000 people with criminal records.
Faced with the problem of illegal immigrants, the United States has been considerable controversy. Some people think that illegal immigrants already in the United States, should be given citizenship, but many illegal immigrants affect the state should crack down on illegal immigration. States can independently pass the bill, so the states to combat the problem of illegal immigrants to take advantage of the scale is different. For example, in 2010, Arizona passed the most severe crackdown on illegal immigration bill. The bill, illegal immigrants classified as criminal acts, and provides that if the police have doubts as long as a person’s immigration status, would be entitled to examine his identity card, or for further cross-examination. This bill by many human rights groups have accused the excessive expansion of government power and interfere with personal freedom. The U.S. to being immigration laws launched a new discussion.
Management and to prevent illegal immigration to penetrate American society, the U.S. government year by year to improve the immigration laws. For example, when traveling to produce legal identity documents to apply for a driver’s license and other documents must produce a legitimate identity documents. Since 9 • 11 “after the terrorist attacks, the issue of illegal immigration are often involved in the processing by the Department of Homeland Security, illegal residence of the nature of the problem becomes much more serious.
