The Permanent Migration Program of Australia is inclusive of the Economic migration and Family reunion immigration. It is also the chief pathway for obtaining the Australia PR. The only other pathway for immigrants to obtain PR is to be accepted by Australia on humanitarian grounds.

 

The PMP is based on unbiased principles regarding Religion, Gender, and Nationality. Overseas immigrants who fulfill the requirements outlined in the 1958 Migration Act can apply to immigrate to Australia.

 

Permanent Immigration corresponds to outcomes in any fiscal year. It does not consider whether the recipient of the Australia PR Visa actually arrived and settled in the nation.

 

Australia Skilled Immigration focuses on assisting the PR arrival of those immigrants who can positively contribute to Australia. This is through their employment potential, entrepreneurial spirit, qualifications, and skills.
