Ms Copper said, “We are delivering a complete reset of our immigration system to restore proper control and order
United Kingdom authorities have commenced a move to end recruitment of caregivers from Nigeria and other parts of the world as it is subject to abuse and exploitation, blocking over 100 occupations from its immigration system.
The UK Parliament in a statement on Tuesday announced that “Subject to parliamentary approval, the changes will come into effect from 22 July.”
The new changes include, “raising the skills threshold for skilled worker visas, removing 111 eligible occupations, and closing the social care worker visa route to overseas recruitment in response to widespread abuse and exploitation,” the statement read.
This move blocks Nigerians and other foreign nationals seeking greener pastures in the UK through the caregivers visa route.
UK Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, described the move as a reset for Britain’s immigration system in the bid to bring an influx of immigrants into the country.
Ms Copper said, “We are delivering a complete reset of our immigration system to restore proper control and order, after the previous government allowed net migration to quadruple in four years. These new rules mean stronger controls to bring migration down, to restore order to the immigration system and to ensure we focus on investing in skills and training here in the UK.
“As part of the Plan for Change, we can build an immigration system that serves the needs of the British economy and people – one that values skills, tackles exploitation, and ensures those who come to the UK make a genuine contribution.”
