CANBERRA wants to give Victoria more freedom to choose the types of skilled immigrants it gets, after Premier John Brumby warned that the annual intake should be frozen at current levels.

The plan is for the Federal Government to work with the states to determine which permanent and temporary skilled migrants are needed where.
