澳八大院校建议设新签证为外国研究生提供永居

澳大利亚人报消息，澳洲八大院校建议开设新的一类签证给研究类硕士和博士毕业外国留学生三年的临居TR签证，之后可以直接获得永居签证PR。

联邦政府正检讨技术移民计分制，以配合今年稍后优先技术名单的修改。

澳洲八间大学的组织“G08”对计分制递交意见书，其中建议对完成澳洲学位课程的博士生，开设新的研究较高学位(RHD)签证，保证后博士外国学生自动得临时居留三年，及为取得永久居留而铺路。

有资格的外国学生，必须按学生签证的规定，成功完成澳洲其中一间大学的博士学位课程，而且在公营或者私营部门受聘博士后职位。RHD签证会有助澳洲吸引及挽留世界各地优秀的学生。

八大院校已建议为外国硕士研究生开设类似的签证，但保证的临居年期较短，但将来也可以获得永居。

八大院校还建议外国学生的配偶，倘若资历足够，也可以得分。如果有家人赞助，应可得小量分数，以承认移民获家人支持的价值。

八大院校同时支持目前的制度，掌握指定小语种的申请人获得相应的分数。

在英语能力方面，八大院校认为将来修订后的计分制，应承认英文程度高的申请人。合资格的程度不应得分，“八大”建议由一个专门机构考核申请人的英文程度。 澳洲目前短缺19000名工程和理工人才，澳洲高校也面临人才短缺，所以此举将有助于吸引人才加入到澳洲科研和教育机构。 STREAMLINED immigration controls are needed to help Australian universities recruit top research talent and compete with their burgeoning Asian counterparts, CSIRO deputy chairman Terry Cutler has warned.

"Foreign postgraduates should be given residency at the drop of a hat," he urged.

"This is all about the global competition for talent and countering an ageing Australian research workforce.

"Why wouldn't you make it as easy as possible?" asked Dr Cutler, who reviewed the innovation system for the Rudd government.

He made the comments to the HES as the Group of Eight called for the postgraduate visa, now limited to course duration, to include an automatic period of temporary residency and clear pathways to permanent residency.

"One area of particular concern for the Group of Eight and the higher education and innovation sector overall is the worldwide shortage of higher degree by research trained individuals," the Go8's submission to the government's immigration points test review says.

Australia faces a shortage of researchers in academic, industry, government and wider professional workforces, the submission says.

The peak National Skills Policy Collaboration had estimated a shortfall of 19,000 science and engineering professionals across industry in the short term.

In the academic workforce alone, the University of Adelaide's Graeme Hugo estimates that universities are likely to lose between one-fifth and one-third of their staff in the next decade.

"Given current levels of domestic student enrolment in higher degree by research training, migration of PhD and research masters-qualified individuals in large numbers will be required if we are to adequately supply demand," the submission says.

It was vital Australia found ways "to build the highest levels of human capital possible" given the global competition for talent, especially for scientific, medical and technological development. The new research higher degree visa category should offer up to three years automatic post-degree residency and clear pathways for permanent residency for overseas students, the Go8 said. It should be open to overseas students that complete a PhD at an Australian university, and a similarly structured visa should be available to research masters students.

Former University of Queensland deputy vice-chancellor research David Siddle has estimated that up to 70 per cent of university research is performed by postgraduates.

Monash University pro vice-chancellor research Max King said the new Australian research visa push was especially important to help counter rich scholarship schemes in the Middle East and elsewhere.
