Recently Boris Johnson revealed a post-Brexit immigration plan that some say would attempt to look more like Australia's system. The plan would create three categories of visas for those trying to come work in the UK:
- one for exceptional talent that could be fast-tracked to the UK without needing a job offer
- one for skilled workers that have a job lined up already
- one for unskilled workers that would be eligible for short-term visas in sectors where there are domestic shortages
While some suggest this plan is exactly what is needed, others feel that the hospitality, agricultural and care sectors would be negatively impacted by the removal of lower-level skilled talent.
