Norway stops the job migration from India on suspicion of fraud

[mr42O]

Job seekers from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka do not get a residence permit in Norway to apply for a job here. Suspected fraud makes the whole system should be reconsidered.

- It is reasonably clear that this is a fraud, says Minister of Labour Hanne Bjurstrøm.

A scheme that was introduced in 2010, allows for the skilled people outside the EU will be able to come to Norway for six months to look for work. The first half came around 1200 applications for residence permit on this basis. Around a thousand of them were from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

The Norwegian embassies in these countries have reported that the applicants may have used fake documents - probably purchased from "agents" - in an attempt to satisfy the criteria for residence.

Fraud Suspicion has meant that the Minister has given a "stop order" to Immigration: No applications from people in these three countries will be granted. Instead, the two-year-old plan for a residence permit for job seekers evaluated. The result may be that the rules changed. Applications from other countries, however, will be treated.

- We need to take stock. There will be an assessment of how important it is to meet Norwegian employers' desire to secure skilled labor in light of how much effort and resources to be used to separate the serious from the frivolous job applicants, explaining Bjurstrøm.

At least 100 applicants will be given a boarding house in Oslo address in Norway. The management of the house - which has been freely drawn into the case - tells Aftenposten that none of these guests appear to stay there.

- We have no basis to say that many have been granted a residence permit in error, said Bjurstrøm.

I never knew that there were significant Indian community present in Norway in first place!

Funny they place a fraud just on three selected countries after having taken in the worst of all kind from the you-know-where regions of the world.

Good, they should not allow such fraud like people in their country. After all what you can say bad acts of few make majority suffer, true.

or maybe they listened to 'dalai lama his nobleness' that bharti are most corrupt.

Pak 3rd largest immigrant group in Norway - Times Of India

Poles top the list of immigrants at 60,000, followed by Swedes at 34,000. But followed by Pakistanis at 32,000? How could that be?

Why Pakistanis have the wood on Norway becomes a little clearer when you examine the next two immigrant nationalities on the list — Iraq and Somalia (27,000 each). Iran and Turkey also figure at 9th and 10th (16,000) each. In contrast, there are only 10,000 Indians in Norway, less than a third of the Pakistani immigrant population. In fact, there are more Sri Lankans and Afghans (14,000 each) than Indians.

Pakistanis are the largest immigrants in Norway. In spite of that India is the number one source of foreign skilled professionals working in Norway It is the quality that matters not quantity !!!

According to Norwegian Immigration Department figures for 2007, Indian skilled professionals constitute one-fourth of the total foreign qualified professionals inducted in Norwegian firms in the given year.

Woman of Pakistani origin is Norwegian Culture Minister

In what can be described as a fitting response to Anders Breivik’s brutal assault on Norwegian multiculturalism, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg appointed a 29-year-old Muslim woman of Pakistani origin the new Culture Minister. Hadia Tajik is the first Muslim and youngest Minister ever in Norwegian political history. Ms. Tajik, who has degrees in law and journalism and has been a career politician in Norway’s Labour Party, was appointed in a Cabinet reshuffle.

Well done to young Miss Tajik, for exposing the fraudsters.

That's because Norway is going to realize it 10 years later. Until then, the beautiful country would have become another Pakistan. So unfortunate.

My reply is to you only...as you have used some insulting words in your statement....How is it if i would tell you that you scumbugs should stop producing terrorists.....Does it sound cool????

It won't stick. Bulk of their professionals are either Indian citizens or of Indian origin.

Pakistanis go there enmasse with minimal skills and usually apply for asylum. Norwegians will start feeling the pinch sooner than later. But i sincerely hope it festers and boils into an ugly blotch before they realise their folly.

Meanwhile other EU nations have ramped up their recruitment operations in India. At the forefront, stands Germany.

Just a few days ago, i was invited to attend the opening of yet another German culture/language centre in kerala.

naa, very wrong, at least in Norway Pakistanis are in majority comparing to Indians or most visible in highly skilled programs/jobs/locations.

The only Indians you see are working in IT companies, hired from India under 1-2 years contract. In other departments including the parliament, Norwegian/Pakistanis are visible

Norway is the only country on earth, where I saw almost no Indians and no Sikhs whatsoever. It's all about Norwegian people, Somalians and Pakistanis

^If its a 1-2 year contract, that rules out the possibility of them being immigrants.
