Today is as good as any other time to migrate to Australia

For so long, hundreds of Filipinos have looked over the horizon and thought of better opportunities in other countries, often at the cost of personal safety. Western countries are by far among the safest and best places to immigrate in terms of over all livability.
Skilled workers from the Philippines looked for greener pastures and among the steady favorite destination is Australia. Currently Filipinos are the third largest Asian Australian immigrant group behind Vietnamese Australians and Chinese Australians according to data retrieved in 2008 by Australian Social Trends, 2007, Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Australia is a country built by immigrants from a couple of hundred countries and the current demand for skilled immigrants is still a couple hundred a year despite the global financial crisis and a policy to cut down on migration visa.
Migration has helped increase population and Australian population is seeing a bit of a baby boom with many women wanting to get pregnant across demographics.
Australian cities are among the most attractive cities to live and work in the world offering many of the best aspects of where it is much nicer to live than anywhere else in the world.
Internally, the policy to cut down on issuing skilled migration visa is not a welcome policy by some sectors within Australia.
The Australian Technology Network is one such entity believing in skilled academics coming from elsewhere will help improve the economy. The ATN also advocate the view that the restriction will put Australia in extreme shortage of skilled workers should the global financial crisis ends and world economy begins to recover.
Another reason why the policy to cut back on accepting skilled immigration is that this policy will actually do little to protect jobs for Australian citizens since the policy may take time to take effect and again, if by that time the global financial crisis is over there may be a huge workforce deficit.
This logic is not exclusive to skilled migration visa but goes to all types of visa, more or less.
