From January 2000, a total of 291,916 Indian-born migrants moved to Australia, and the program is considered a success. More than half of all Indians who came to Australia between 2000 and 2016 are buying their own homes, according to ABS statistics released last year, and about half have become citizens.
The vast majority (234,395) came on skilled visas, while 56,000 arrived on family visas.
