Australian Immigration.
Australia is one of the most popular countries in the world for people to want to migrate to.
Consequently, to avoid an unsustainable fast increase in the countries population, due to Immigration, there are various factors to hold the total numbers of new immigrants in check.
These factors include high visa processing fees and strict limits on annual numbers of visas that can be granted.
