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.
