The skills of educated and talented Indian nationals are in high demand the world over, particularly as the need for IT professionals, in abundance in India, remains a core occupation in need. 
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) May 12, 2008 --
Millions of Indians live away from their homeland, opting for fresh opportunities in countries from the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Unlike other developing nations India looks at migration abroad as essential in the nations aim to immerse itself in the global network.
The numbers of Indian’s out of country continues to rise with 3000 Indian students in New Zealand, numbers as many as 120 000 Indians settling in Australia – 6000 each year and the opportunity of as many as 13 million jobs opening up in European countries in the next twenty years.
Indians are wanted and the reason for their relative acceptance is their maturity in age, level of education and sought after skills.
The Indian government, somewhat surprisingly, is not unhappy with the flood of skills leaving their borders. “It allows those Indian nationals overseas to invest back into India itself, this projected surge of foreign capital is seen as nothing but a positive development by the Indian government,” says Liam Clifford of www.globalvisas.co.in.
New and attractive initiatives from the Indian government itself, such as a welfare scheme for Indians overseas, have even been proposed.
These attractive prospects however, make Indian’s looking for a new life abroad to be prey to corrupt and fraudulent immigration advisors and travel agents.
As Clifford says, “Many have paid thousands to these advisors with the hope to guarantee them a new life abroad, but often this is not the case. These people hand over their life savings only to get conned out of their money with no visa in return”. “It is essential to do your homework and use only reputable immigration companies,” he adds. If this is done then there should be little to no problem for Indian nationals.
In an interview with the Economic Times, Ministry of overseas Indian Affairs secretary K Mohandas has estimated that as many as 5 million Indian workers live overseas, particularly in the Gulf, with professionals in the healthcare, IT and engineering sectors mostly in North America.
This number is set to rise as countries open their doors to more foreign students and the need for workers, particularly those with speciality skills, continues to rise.
