United States

President-elect Donald Trump sided with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in a row over H-1B visas, favouring skilled immigration despite past criticisms. Trump defended the program, calling it “great” and acknowledging its use in his businesses.

The debate arose after Ramaswamy blamed American culture for favouring mediocrity over excellence, sparking backlash from anti-immigration Republicans. Musk supported H-1B visas, likening them to recruiting top sports talent.

Critics accused Musk of wage suppression, and far-right influencers condemned Ramaswamy’s views. Nikki Haley and others opposed prioritizing foreign workers. Trump dismissed claims of being influenced by Musk, reaffirming his leadership amid growing Republican divisions.

Australia Issues Record 200,000 Working Holiday Visas Amid Migration Challenges

Australia

Australia has issued a record 200,000 working holiday visas, led by British visitors whose numbers nearly doubled over three years. Policy changes, like raising the maximum age to 35 and removing regional work requirements, boosted applications.

British travellers now numbered 47,000, with strong inflows from France, Ireland, and Japan. This surge coincides with Australia's housing crisis, adding pressure to rents. Experts cite agreements with more countries and a strong labour market as key drivers.

The Albanese government faces challenges balancing migration and housing targets, as slower departures push net migration higher than expected. Critics warn of prolonged housing shortages.

Ontario Reaches 2024 PNP Allocation Limit, Faces Cuts for 2025

Canada

#study

Ontario’s Provincial Nominee Program (OINP) hit its 2024 allocation cap with 21,500 nominations issued. Over 22,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) were distributed, with key streams including International Students (8,363 ITAs) and Foreign Workers (6,695 ITAs).

Enhanced nominations under Express Entry offer 600 CRS points, boosting PR prospects. For 2025, Ontario may face reduced allocations as Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan cuts provincial targets to 55,000 admissions nationwide.

This marks a steep decline from 2024’s 110,000. The OINP also shut down its entrepreneur stream in 2024, with no replacement announced. Future nomination limits for Ontario remain unconfirmed.
