Interesting migration figures

Apparently Australia is taking around 200,000 migrants a year. In 2007-08, 58,050 migrants (excluding family members) became PR after they came to work in the 457 work visa. Among them, 8250 were INDIANS!!! And 5120 were filipino and chinese were 3360. So, looks like Indians are leading BIG time. Compare this to figures from 2004-05, Indians:2880, Filipinos:600, Chinese:930. I have been thinking lately that there are more Indians in aus than before - this fact proves I'm correct :) and this is excluding student migrants..mmm.
