The UK Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has made further recommendations for additions to the shortage occupation list. The MAC feels that Teachers in special schools and skilled meat boners and trimmers and certain other occupations should be added to the shortage occupation list.

The Government usually takes recommendations of the MAC seriously and it is likely that these recommendations will be followed. If the recommendations are accepted UK employers will be able to employ people in a greater range of occupations without the necessity of carrying out a resident labour market test. This will make it much easier to make Tier 2 visa applications.

The new citizenship test for those who wish to become Australian citizens started on 19 October. The twenty multiple choice questions is no easier than the previous test. The Australian Government says that it is fairer; Each question is given equal weight.
