Germany opens its doors and adapts its immigration policy to meet labor market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faced with skills shortages, Germany takes inspiration from the Canadian model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to the severe shortage of skilled workers hampering its economy, Germany has resolutely chosen to review its immigration legislation. The country is turning to a system inspired by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/en\/guide\/immigrate-to-canada-in-2022-for-free\/\" data-type=\"guide\" data-id=\"5432\">Canadian model<\/a><\/strong>based on <a href=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/en\/guide\/immigration-canada-work-permit-or-express-entry-differences-and-which-route-to-choose\/\" data-type=\"guide\" data-id=\"8760\">points<\/a> which has proved its worth. Against this backdrop, the Bundestag passed an innovative bill on June 23 that represents a real turning point in Germany's approach to immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nancy_Faeser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nancy-Farser-Wikipedia-664x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9507\" width=\"168\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nancy-Farser-Wikipedia-664x1024.png 664w, https:\/\/oppsup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nancy-Farser-Wikipedia-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/oppsup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Nancy-Farser-Wikipedia.png 744w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The promise is clear: to make Germany a more welcoming country for immigrants by easing restrictions and opening up new opportunities. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser's announcement sets the tone. The country needs almost 400,000 people to join its labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \"opportunity card\": a gateway to the German job market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, the new legislation will give qualified foreigners the opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/en\/guide\/visa-for-seeking-employment-in-germany-who-is-eligible-and-how-to-apply-2\/\" data-type=\"guide\" data-id=\"9503\"><strong>opportunity to look for work in Germany<\/strong><\/a> provided they score at least six points on a list of eligibility criteria. These criteria include language skills and qualifications. Eligible candidates will be issued with an \"opportunity card\", enabling them to seek employment on German soil for at least 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law also relaxes eligibility criteria for \"blue card\" work visas, and grants more rights, such as residence permits and family reunification. This should make it easier for German companies to hire skilled workers from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Despite resistance, Germany adapts to skilled immigration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, these advances are not without controversy. Germany is facing a resurgence of opposition to immigration at a time when it has been welcoming increasing numbers of refugees since 2022. Some of the law's provisions have sparked debate, notably that which would allow asylum seekers to stay in the country if they find a job, even if their asylum application is rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All well and good, but the figures show that public perception of immigration remains divided: 41% of Germans are in favor of increasing skilled immigration, according to a poll conducted by ARD Deutschlandtrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future challenges: integration and adaptation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us will agree that this <a href=\"https:\/\/oppsup.com\/en\/news\/new-german-emigration-law-2023-to-attract-skilled-foreign-workers\/\" data-type=\"actualites\" data-id=\"8569\">a change of direction for<\/a> immigration represents a major challenge for Germany. We must learn to cope with these new realities and adapt our approaches accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the issue is not simply to attract more workers, but also to define which areas are most in need of this talent, and how to effectively integrate these newcomers into German society. In our quest to overcome the skills shortage, the challenge lies not only in quantity, but also in the quality of integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, this law represents an important step in the modernization of Germany's immigration policy. It remains to be seen how these new regulations will be implemented, and how they will influence the dynamics of the German labor market in the years to come.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La nouvelle loi de 2023 sur l&rsquo;immigration en Allemagne qui introduit un syst\u00e8me bas\u00e9 sur des points pour accueillir les talents \u00e9trangers.
