Australia's permanent migration program is expected to fall to pre-2010 levels as a result of tighter vetting rules.

The Australian newspaper is reporting the intake for 2017-18 is expected to drop from the 190,000 annual cap to between 160,000 and 170,000.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed numbers would be lower this year because of tighter restrictions on the visa approval process.

It is understood the Department of Immigration is anticipating the number could come in as low as 160,000, which would be the lowest intake since 2007-08.
