Australia could be next destination of an active Indian diaspora on the lines of the US, Canada and UK with increasing number Indians choosing the country. Over 207,900 migrants settled permanently in Australia during 2013- 14, the Economic Times reported, citing the government figures released on Wednesday.
 

The data shows that nearly one in five of the 207,900 migrants who settled permanently in Australia in 2013-14 came from India.
 

Australia's Migration Trends 2013- 14 report shows that India remained the main source country for migrants with almost 40,000 Indian nationals migrated to Australia in 2013-14. In the same year almost 30,000 people born in India chose to become Australian citizens, according to the Australian government.
 

Migration continues to be the major component of population growth in Australia. Between June 1996 and June 2013, Australia's overseas-born population grew by 51.2% to 6.4 mn. The substantial growth in over-seas born residents is changing Australia's ethnic composition.
