Shortage occupation
The Immigration Advisory Committee (MAC) did not propose any changes to the current job list, so China Chef is still on the list, and the position is still allocated 50 points. This is undoubtedly good news for China chefs. Of course, there are many suggestions in the report. The most important clause of RLMT (residential labor market test) is to substantially increase the minimum income level related to work.
Back in June this year, the Chinese community and civil rights of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London have been actively campaigning for the British government to investigate whether China chefs can be on the shortage list. /kloc-in July of 0/5, they submitted a research report to the British government and a questionnaire survey report on the list of labor force and skills shortage in China catering industry to the Immigration Advisory Committee.
The Immigration Advisory Committee (MAC) said that it will cooperate with the Employment and Skills Council of the United Kingdom to study the consultation questionnaire project and conduct a series of conceptual reviews on skills shortage and demand.
The progress of the technical job shortage report will be pointed out in the autumn of 2009 and the report on the list of occupations in short supply in the spring of 20 10.
In addition, it is pointed out in detail in the MAC report that the Panel on Home Affairs (2009) indicated that the list of occupations in short supply only provides periodic shortages in the short term and under special circumstances, which has certain flexibility. This means that even positions that appear on the shortage list may change in the future.
In the report, the Immigration Advisory Committee stated that their long-term consideration included the following six conclusions, including a more detailed technical definition; The balance point of Tier2' s income and total strength; Whether the vocational qualification certificate (NVQ) meets the requirements of technical visa; What is the actual implementation of English proficiency and cultural examination for technical visa employees and employers?
Civil Rights With these definitions in mind, civil rights officials told the British-Chinese Times that they would monitor and provide answers to these six related factors. First, civil rights stakeholders think it is wages. The reason of MAC is that the higher the salary, the higher the skills of workers. The salary level has been set according to the average full-time salary and the professional skills (time and income of annual survey) of working-age employees. Civil rights activists believe that this obviously cannot be compared in different industries. This is a very important point, and we need to respond to the MAC.
Secondly, civil rights believe that whether NVQ level3 is a suitable "technology" or not, they will continue to prove that China chefs' technicians have always insisted that NVQ level3 is only a suitable "technology" in the catering industry and cannot become an "academic" threshold.
Third, civil rights activists believe that in law enforcement, there are a lot of explanations about employer law enforcement and employer supervision in the published report.
It should be emphasized that in the immigration laws of the Ministry of the Interior and law enforcement agencies, it is not the responsibility of employers to maintain law and order. In fact, if they need to be examined, they need training. They have no corresponding professional knowledge and can only face the results of punitive inspection. For example, many employers face civil penalties.
Although in the report released by19 in August, China chefs are still on the shortage list, which means that they can get 50 points and get the basic score to meet the technical visa (Tier2), but this is not an insurance card.
Civil rights activists told UK-Chinese Times that it still needs some time to study various methods and continue to monitor the situation, and called on the people of China to pay attention to this matter and pay attention to the report results of the shortage list together in the coming months. At the same time, civil rights also indicated that they would stand firm and protect the interests of Chinese restaurant chefs.
