From November 14, 2011 a new Shortage Occupation List will come into effect for prospective skilled migrants to the UK.
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) has accepted recommendations from the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to amend the list of skilled occupations for skilled workers wishing to migrate to the UK through the Tier 2 migration program (sponsored workers). The new Shortage Occupation List has reduced the number of eligible occupations from 230,000 to 190,000. The MAC recommended the changes because the current evidence suggests that UK nationals are available to fill any vacancies for the occupations removed from the list. The revised list has been designed to help the UK find migrant workers that the country really needs.
"Alongside our limits on overseas workers we are also taking action to provide businesses with the skills they need from the British workforce and reduce their need for migrants. We want the brightest and the best people from outside the EU with the skills we can benefit from in the UK", said Immigration Minister Damian Green.
The following occupations will no longer be on the Shortage Occupation List:
- secondary education biology teachers;
- speech and language therapists;
- pharmacists;
- orthoptists;
- veterinary surgeons; and,
- rank and file orchestral musicians*.
*Rank and file orchestral musicians will not be removed from the list until further discussions take place with the industry to discuss the resident labour market test.
Whilst there will be an overall reduction in the number of occupations on the Shortage Occupation List, the following occupations will be added to it:
- actuaries;
- high integrity pipe welders;
- environmental scientists; and,
- geochemists
The revised list will come into effect from 14 November 2011 and applicants for UK work visas should note that:
- For applications covered by the annual limit, the new list will apply to all applications by Tier 2 sponsors for restricted certificates of Sponsorship made on or after 14 November 2011.
- For applications outside the annual limit, the new list will apply to all unrestricted certificates of sponsorship assigned to migrants on or after 14 November 2011.
Prospective applicants can only work in the UK under Tier 2 visa if the job is on the Shortage Occupation List or if they pass a resident labour market test (no suitable resident workers apply after advertising the job in the UK first for 4 weeks).
