The government of the United Kingdom has forbidden international recruitment for social assistance roles and has announced a dramatic cut of the so-called “low-quolific migration”, declaring that “skilleds must mean skilled”.
The rigid move, detailed in the new 82 -page White Paper of Immigration released on Monday, constitutes the backbone of the restoration of the most significant immigration in a generation.
“We will close the visas for social assistance to new applications abroad,” said the Ministry of the Interior.
“This route has been exploited and abused in ways that damage the trust of the public and do not support the sustainability of the long -term workforce”.
This is a vast revision of the British immigration system, revealed by a declaration obtained from the website of the Ministry of the United Kingdom Interior.
The article, entitled “Restoration of control over the immigration system”, marks a decisive movement towards the reduction of net migration, which according to the government came out of the control, quadruplication from 2019 to 2023.
Final line for visas for healthcare professionals
The decision to block new applications abroad for social assistance roles has immediate effect. Existing healthcare professionals already in the United Kingdom will be able to extend or change their views until 2028, pending the implementation of a new national workforce strategy.
Read further: “The sector of health and social assistance must move away from dependence on recruiting abroad with low salary,” said the document.
“We will support the planning and training of the long -term workforce in the United Kingdom.”
Skilled must mean skilled
At the center of the reforms is a redefinition of the “qualified work” in the context of the immigration system based on points.
The government is lifting thresholds on salary, qualifications and English language through most of the paths, removing what it calls “escapade for low qualified migration under a qualified label”.
“We are strengthening the definition of qualified work – skilled must mean skilled”, insists the white paper. “The work that does not satisfy the bar will not be entitled to a visa, regardless of the sector.”
The controversial list of immigration salaries – which has allowed employers to hire workers below the general salary threshold, will be abolished.
“We will remove the list of immigration salaries to prevent the underestimation of the united kingdom wages and to ensure that migration supports, rather than suppressing, the labor market,” he said.
Moving the burden to employers
In the future, employers will be required to demonstrate the efforts of home hiring before moving to foreign work, in particular in sectors previously dependent on workers abroad.
“No employer should be made to default migration. We are rebalancing the system to reward training, not for addiction,” said the Ministry of the Interior.
The secretary at home Yvette Cooper defined the “bold and necessary restoration” plan.
“We act to break down the numbers and restore control. We must reconstruct the trust of the public and put an end to the perception that immigration is a substitute for the planning of skills,” said Cooper.
The tone of white paper is intransigent in all: “We will not allow that temporary migral routes will become permanent. Our reforms restore integrity and will guarantee that immigration works for Great Britain, not vice versa”.
