Loading ...More seeking to Migrate since Last Month
via NST:
KUALA LUMPUR: More now than ever before. And they are selling their properties and their cars. “On an average, we used to receive between 15 and 20 enquiries (on migration) a day,” said Desmond, a migration agent in Kuala Lumpur.
“However, over the last two weeks, our phones have been ringing non-stop.”
This “ringing non-stop” translates into about 6,500 enquiries for migration to Australia between Nov 14 and Nov 19.
There were 5,500 enquiries for New Zealand, and 4,000 for Canada, about 3,500 enquiries for other countries, including Norway and Switzerland.
“The country of choice is Australia, followed by New Zealand. “If they do not meet the requirements for these two countries, their next option is Canada.”
The most number of enquiries, according to Desmond, comes from professionals (60 per cent) and the rest from tradespersons like cooks, mechanics, tool-makers, carpenters and hair dressers.
Is it a coincidence that Nov 14 was the 1st day of the 57th UMNO General Assembly?
