UK immigration high flyers

Who says an influx of immigrants is bad for a country’s economy?

This is certainly not the case in the UK.  The migration advisory committee says almost double the number of “highly skilled” workers have applied for a Tier 1 UK visa. This category of applicant is open to entrepreneurs and investors who have the skills, the education and the money in the bank to qualify.

An estimated 55,000 such people are expected to arrive in the UK in 2009, compared to the 28,000 who came in 2007.

So even in the depths of a recession, Britain is booming when it comes to receiving the cream of the migrant workforce. Why not consider a move to the UK yourself?
