Scrap or reduce the salary and income requirements for work and family visas.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The new policy of raising the income threshold for skilled worker visas and family visas should be abandoned by the government because it will make it impossible for many people to meet the requirements given their low income, which will have a major negative impact on families.

To ensure that families are not unduly impacted, the government should either eliminate this new policy or lower the income threshold requirement in the name of justice and human rights.
