Residency visas gained through kitchen door
* Malcolm Knox
* April 1, 2009
A LOOPHOLE in Australia's skilled migration program has led to an eightfold increase in overseas students enrolling in cooking courses as a means of achieving permanent residency and a danger of a "race to the bottom" in wages, according to a Monash University study released today.
The study, "The Cooking-Immigration Nexus", describes the current system as a "mess" and calls on the Federal Government to remove cooking from the list of skills eligible for employer-sponsored permanent residency visas.
"Permanent residence is extremely attractive to people from low-wage countries," said Bob Birrell, one of the study's authors and co-director of the Monash Centre for Population and Urban Research. "People who are desperate for that [permanent residence] prize are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that, and the current system is almost an incitement for them to go to employers and undercut the going rate, and of course for employers to exploit this as well."
Between 2004 and 2008 the number of overseas students enrolled in cookery courses rose from 1019 to 8242, according to the study. Total enrolments of overseas students in trade courses trebled from 65,120 in 2005 to 173,432 in 2008.
Cooking has become the second-highest employment category, behind accounting, of "onshore" trained overseas students wishing to gain permanent residence. However, due to the low regulation of many of these courses, "relatively few actually work as trade-level cooks once they obtain permanent residence" and there remains a shortage of skilled cooks in Australia, says the study, authored by Bob Birrell, Ernest Healy and Bob Kinnaird and published today in the Monash journal People and Place.
The "Government should restrict the migrant flow of cooks," the study says. "It has been reluctant to act because it and many state governments are anxious to preserve the overseas student education industry. These governments have refused to acknowledge the reality, which is that the rapidly growing enrolments are more about selling permanent entry visas."
The number of former overseas cookery students who received permanent residence increased from 951 in 2005-06 to 3251 in 2007-08. This was 41 per cent more than the number of Australian apprentice completions in cooking, 2305 in 2007.
In January the Government published a list of occupations in which Australia has a critical skills shortage, and cooking was not included. But instead, overseas students in cooking can achieve permanent residence by working 900 hours for an employer, then having that employer sponsor their migration by working for them for another 12 months. This can be as menial as kitchenhand and waiting work.
"Leaving cookery off the list was an impressive step," Dr Birrell said, "but it assumes that employers won't take advantage of people desperate to … gain the sponsorship."
With rising local unemployment, the authors say the Government should usher more out-of-work Australians into retraining as cooks, rather than issuing more visas.
"Given the decline in the workforce in some traditional trades," the authors write, "especially in manufacturing, it is important that trade opportunities be opened in the service sector - including cooking". |
