New figures released by the UK's Office for National Statistics show that 24% of babies born in the UK last year (2011) were born to women who were born outside the UK.

The ONS said that 'the increase in the proportion of foreign births to non-UK born mothers living in the UK illustrates how the demographic make-up of the UK is changing.' It added that understanding the patterns of childbearing among migrant populations was 'essential for planning services such as maternity provision and schools'.

The figures show that in London, where most immigrants live, 57% of children were born to non-UK born mothers. The five countries from where the most mothers came were

• Poland, (from where 23,000 mothers came)
• Pakistan (19,000)
• India (15,500)
• Bangladesh (8,500)
• Nigeria (8,000)
• Germany (7,000 – though these were predominantly born in Germany to UK service personal stationed in military bases there)

The ONS found that the number of births to UK born mothers remained virtually static between 2007 and 2011. In 2007, there were 603,000 births to UK-born mothers compared to 612,000 in 2011.

However, the number of children born to non-UK born mothers rose by 16% from 169,000 to 196,000. Part of this is explained by the numbers of UK-born and non-UK born women living in the UK. Between 2007 and 2011 there has been a 24% rise in the number of women of child-bearing age living in the UK whereas the number of such UK born women has actually fallen by 5%.

The survey found that fertility rates are much higher among non-UK born than among UK-born populations. The general fertility rate measures the annual number of live births per 1,000 women of childbearing age (often taken to be from 15 to 49 years old. That figure is 60 for UK born women. The figure is nearly 150 for Pakistani-born women and nearly 140 for Nigerian born women. For Bangladeshi-born women the figure is around 110, for Indian-born women around 95 and for Polish-born women around 90.

The survey found that, on average, foreign born mothers have 2.28 children each while UK born mothers have only 1.89 children.

Jason Kenney, the Canadian immigration minister, has said that he approves of measures taken by the British government to reform its student visa system and intends to reform the Canadian visa system along similar lines.
Mr Kenney was speaking to a UK newspaper while on a visit to the UK this week. He was asked what he thought about the UK Border Agency's decision to remove the Highly Trusted Sponsor status from London Metropolitan University in August 2012. The decision caused great controversy at the time and caused business and higher education bodies to warn that the attendant bad publicity would damage the UK's reputation as a destination for overseas students to take their degrees. However, Mr Kenney disagreed. He said that, in his view, the decision would, in fact, strengthen the UK's reputation.
The UKBA made the decision on three grounds;
• LMU did not have systems in place to check that students had adequate ability in English to understand a university course
• LMU did not have systems in place to check that students attended their courses
• LMU did not have systems in place to check that students had the right visa to entitle them to study in the UK.
Mr Kenney told Chris Parr of the Times Higher Education supplement that he believed that the decision had been the right one. 'I read the London Met controversy as sending a strong message to that the UK is going to maintain the integrity of its post-secondary brand to international students,' he said.
And he added 'we are intending to go in the same direction. We need to facilitate student study visas for bona fide students going to bona fide institutions. There are many sub-par institutions that are not providing quality programmes and which are mostly facilitating various forms of legal migration'.
Mr Kenney's department, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is responsible for the Canadian government's policy on immigration. Canada has the most active immigration policy of any G8 country. Among the policies it has in place is Canadian Experience Class, a visa programme which sees permanent residence status being granted to graduates of Canadian universities. So far, over 20,000 students have been granted permanent residence.
Canada is keen to attract overseas students but Mr Kenney said that he did not want to sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity; 'If universities just want to go for the fast track and bring in unlimited numbers of foreign students without any regard for the quality of their student life, then I think that's a mistake,' he said.
Many Canadian universities have told the minister that they would approve of similar measures in Canada, he said. 'Some of the more responsible universities in Canada have said to me that they should be careful. Yes, they want to attract foreign students – they enrich campus life and they certainly bring fees – but [universities] want to make sure that they don't end up with parallel communities online.
He said that universities should not take on so many overseas students and that, 'If you're coming from an upper-middle class Chinese family to study in Britain or Canada, your primary focus is to learn English. You shouldn't want to end up in a university where 30 or 40% of the students are Mandarin speakers.'

If the Republicans win the US elections held on 6th November 2012, then this could be the last ever Green Card Lottery. The Republicans plan legislation that would abolish it.
This year's Green Card Lottery began on October 2nd 2012 and applications will not be accepted after 12.00 noon, Eastern Daylight Time on November 3rd 2012.
There have been several attempts to abolish the Lottery over the years. In 2005, Republicans attempted to end it after it was revealed that an Egyptian terrorist gained a US green card through the lottery. There are also allegations that the Lottery is open to fraud.
This year, Republican Representative Lamarr Smith, introduced the STEM Jobs Act in the House of Representative, one house of the US Congress. This Act proposed taking the visas allocated under the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, the proper name of the Green Card Lottery, and allocating them instead to graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, (the so called STEM subjects).
Democrats in Congress opposed the STEM Jobs Act because it would abolish the Green Card Lottery. They accepted that America needs to attract more STEM graduates; they said that the Green Card Lottery is important because it fosters diversity in the US.
So the Democrats proposed their own Attracting the Brightest and the Best Act. This act would leave the Green Card Lottery in place and grant 2 year visas to STEM graduates enabling them to work in US industry.
However, neither party was able to make their respective proposals become law. There are two chambers in the US Congress; The Senate and The House of Representatives. The Democrats control the Senate and the Republicans control the House of Representatives. In order to become law, a bill must be passed by both chambers. This is impossible at present. This situation is known as 'gridlock'.
Congress is now in recess waiting for the election of the new president on November 6th. On that day, there are also elections for 468 Congressional seats; 33 seats of the 100 Senate seats are up for election. If the Republicans win 14 of these, they will take control of the Senate.
At the same time, elections will be held for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives. This means that the Republicans could take control of the Presidency and both Houses of Congress.
Therefore, control of the Washington government may fall totally into the hands of the Republicans in the November 2012 election. If it does then the Stem Jobs Act may very well be passed by Congress.
However, that does not mean that it would become law. The President has a right of veto. If the Republicans control Congress but President Obama is re-elected, it seems likely that he would veto the STEM Jobs Act, even if it got through Congress.
However, if Mr Romney becomes president, then, it could be that 2012 is your last chance to take part in the Green Card Lottery.
At present, the results of the elections are far from certain but this could be your last chance to apply.
