Record immigration in Australia: 400k will arrive this year

Australia’s migrant intake will soar to its highest level on record as 400,000 people enter the country this year in net terms.

Of the increase of 165,000 in the forecast since October, about 70 per cent are students. Of the 400,000 in net overseas migrants this year, about half are students. India tops the list for the most student visas and skilled migrants.

“More skilled migrants – and more support for skilled migrants so they can build a life in Australia – is key to our economic recovery and growth as a nation,” a Victorian government spokesman said.
