A new immigration system will from next year prioritise skilled workers. Boris Johnson has picked a difficult time to conduct this experiment given the risk that trade talks with the EU could turn sour, says swahapattanaik: ReutersFlasseur
Britain will prioritise access for high-skilled workers from around the world in its post-Brexit points-based immigration system, the government said on Feb. 18. Students will be covered by the points-based system, the government said, while there will be separate initiatives for scientists, graduates, National Health Service workers and those in the agricultural sector.
The new system, which will come into force from the beginning of 2021 and treat European Union and non-EU citizens alike, will assign points for specific skills, qualifications, salaries or professions and only give visas to those who have enough points. There will be no specific entry route for low-skilled workers, something the government hopes will help reduce the number of migrants.
The Home Office said it would follow a recommendation made in January by the Migration Advisory Committee , an independent body which advises the government, to lower the minimum general salary threshold for skilled migrants to 25,600 pounds a year from 30,000 pounds.
