It depends on what limits are agreed and the method used to decide who is admitted or not.
If the EU says that each EU country have to take say 100,000 immigrants but 200,000 want to come to England we can use the Australian Style points system to decide who comes.
That gives us the opportunity to find those immigrants not only of most use in our economy but also those who are financially self-supporting.
We can still use the Australian Style points system when vetting rest of the world immigrants and adjust numbers accordingly as it's not compulsory to admit them.
Then again it will depend on which candidate gets the job of PM given that quite a few have said "out is out" even Theresa May and they will be working on that premise.
If they come away with a deal that is miles better than Cameron's it will be a bonus as a Remain PM would probably have done a minor tweak to Cameron's and kept us in. At least some of these candidates are looking beyond the EU for trade deals which should give the EU something to think about.
