The government has launched the first stage of a new points-based system for migrants from outside the EU.

It will initially only apply to highly skilled workers already in the country who want to extend their stay.

 

But by the end of 2008, every graduate with good English, on £40,000 or the local equivalent, will potentially have enough points to seek work in the UK.

 

Skilled workers in shortage occupations will also be able to enter provided they have a job offer.

 

But low skilled workers from outside the EU will be barred from entering for the foreseeable future, as the government believes it can fill all manual work vacancies from within the EU.

 

 

Love this comment on there by a Canadian called Barry

 

Immigration reforms are as good as the people who act on them

I'm sure it will be all talk & no trousers as usual knowing our Govt's track record :roll:
