Britain Business Leaders Urge Government To Ease Visa Restrictions For Foreign Graduates

23 Feb 2015

With an intention to woo more foreign graduates to work and reside in Britain, after completing their studies, a group of business leaders are urging future UK government to simplify the visa restrictions.

In a letter provided to the leading news channel, 17 participants from throughout the industry urged all the political parties to take out foreign students from the immigration target. Most of the Britons say that they look positively on the university students who have enter to the UK from outside the EU, and in the previous year, there were over 310,000 such foreign students.

According to the sources, many of the world’s brilliant minds and entrepreneurs have completed their studies in UK universities. Presumably one third of Nobel laureates working in the UK universities since 2000 were born in foreign nations. And UK doesn’t want to lose these brilliant people because of ill-thought-out migration laws.

In this week, all the Party Parliamentary Group on Migration has made a report on the impacts of closing automatic post-study work visa that had on business, universities and native economies. The group is likely to make a number of recommendations to ministers to make sure that Britain does not drop back in baiting students from overseas nations.

The Prime Minister of UK, David Cameron, has focused on his repeated trade visits to India that there are no caps on the number of international students enabled into the UK.

The shadow home secretary of Britain, Yvette Cooper, has clarified that she denies the enclosure of foreign students within the net migration target. She also said that the labor government would operate with businesses, universities and native authorities to assist them to woo best talents as well as compete in the international market place.

She further added that, they will not put country’s economic growth or worldwide reputation of UK’s world-class universities at hazard for a completely not viable net migration target.
