Immigration System” White Paper. The White Paper proposals include a new route for
skilled workers which will be open to anyone at RQF level 3 and above, irrespective
of where they are applying from. This route will not be capped, allowing all of those
who meet our requirements to come to the UK.</p><p><br>The White Paper also includes
a transitional route for temporary workers which will be open to anyone from qualifying
countries, wishing to fill positions at any skill level, for up to 12 months. We do
not intend to impose a cap on the number of people wishing to use the route.</p><p><br>The
Government is undertaking an extensive programme of engagement with a wide range of
stakeholders across the UK, throughout 2019, including with the private, public and
voluntary sectors and local government, as well as industry representatives and individual
businesses, before taking final policy decisions on the future system.</p>
