Almost 1,400 new migrants have been granted their Australian visas and are now trying their luck at the Australian Capital Territory. This is in response to the state's aggressive campaign to bring in more skilled and professional migrants to combat the labor shortage.

As reported by ABC News Online, Acting ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher says "the city can handle the growth as the Government's Live in Canberra campaign starts to pay dividends."

This exodus of skilled migrants is the highest in a decade. And while Canberra is still experiencing severe housing and rental problems, this hasn't deterred people from wanting to live and migrate to Australia.

For the past three months, real estate in Australia has been bleak. Economist Simon Tennent from the Housing Industry Association cites that the country is about 25,000 dwellings short, with the rental market the biggest sufferer.

Canberra is up about two-and-a-half per cent over the last three months.
But the ACT Government declares Canberra can accommodate the growing number of overseas migrants. If anything, this Australian immigration is a welcome addition not just to the state's workforce but to the overall community as well.

"We've got a lot of housing coming onto the market soon," Chief Minister Gallagher said.

True enough, as housing steadily mends itself, migration to Canberra gets a lot easier. Again, quoting from ABC News Online, "a Canberra migration agent says it is easier to migrate to the ACT than anywhere else in Australia. We get a sponsorship in a month or two months' time, whereas in other states, it takes nearly six months to get a sponsorship."

Overall, these figures mean a win-win situation for both the state government and all skilled and professional migrants. Indeed, immigration to Australia has never seen better times such as now. And hopefully the trend will continue in the years to come.
