Australia, New Zealand and Canada have long attracted skilled workers, qualified professionals and business persons from around the world seeking a better life for themselves and their families. It is widely thought that immigration has built these 'new world' lands into the prosperous countries that they are today.
However, in recent times, Government cutbacks have seen the closure or scaling back of many immigration sections at embassies around the world and at onshore offices, making it more difficult for intending settlers to obtain visa information and personalised assistance with the migration process. Although governments remain committed to providing direct access for applicants, this has grown increasingly impractical given the nature of the complex, over subscribed immigration systems.
Increasing competition for a fixed number of places means that the immigration authorities can only approve applicants with the best prepared applications, thus creating the need for independent immigration consultants.
The immigration consulting industry bas been formally recognised by the various governments through the creation of professional industry bodies such as the Migration Agents Registration Authority of Australia (MARA), Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) - New Zealand and the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC).
The Migration Bureau has advisors who are members of these bodies and are permitted to advise new settlers on all immigration and visa application matters, and are allowed to represent them in their dealings with the Government immigration authorities. The objective is to increase your chances of success and to avoid delays. Today, most applicants now use migration agents, with the Migration Bureau being one of the most popular and well-known agencies.
REFUSAL ON A TECHNICALITY
It is a commonly known fact that immigration systems are confusing and increasingly over-subscribed.
More applicants are applying for a fixed number of places, meaning that the immigration authorities can only approve those persons with the best-prepared applications.
Every year, the applications of thousands of hopeful migrants are refused or delayed due to errors or mistakes, many of which were avoidable. Hence the need for professional advice and assistance during this difficult interface between you, the individual, and a powerful, uncompromising government authority.
COMPLEX IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS
Many misconceptions exist about the immigration regulations. Information available from the immigration authorities and embassies often only summarises the regulations and does not always clearly explain the conditions and entry criteria.
The immigration rules and regulations are confusing and can change on a regular basis, sometimes even weekly! From one day to the next, you cannot be sure which regulations will apply to your case.
As a result, many applicants incorrectly assess themselves or apply under the wrong visa class, invariably leading to substantial delays and ultimately refusal.
BRIDGING THE MIGRATION GAP
The Migration Bureau bridges what is commonly referred to as the "migration gap". That is, the gap between what the government will do for you and those things that you must do yourself.
As a client of the Migration Bureau you will be supported by a professional organization that
- Deals with the Government immigration authorities on a day-to-day basis
- Has access to the full library of immigration regulations
- Constantly monitors changes in immigration law
The Migration Bureau protects you from the risk of refusal or unnecessary delay by submitting a fully documented case on your behalf in the format requested by the relevant official authority.
