Country Profiles

These Country Profiles bring together a whole of country perspective on permanent and temporary migrant inflows and outflows and provide relevant information, including key statistical data, on the different types of visa categories.

The Country Profiles provide information on 14 migrant source countries.

These consist of profiles for:

• the top 10 countries providing the most permanent migrants to Australia, with the addition of Indonesia
• Afghanistan, Burma and Iraq—the largest source countries of humanitarian entrants to Australia.

Being among the top 10 does not mean that a country will be in the top 10 across all visa categories.
Example: The UK which is Australia's second largest provider of both skilled and family migrants, only ranks 20th as a provider of international students.

The current country rankings based on 2010–11 data provide a succinct insight into the different types of migrants coming from our top 10 source countries.
