The US has a very similar requirement for their visa (I'm specifically referring to E3, which is the H1B for Australians) which only lets in 'skilled' people, defined by a university degree (or 3 years of work experience for every 1 year of degree, so a total of 9-12 years).
It was pretty disheartening to get a job offer from a big tech firm in New York only to have any chances shot down because of visa...

At least it's only a 4-year degree though.

In France, 4-year degrees do not exist so it counts as a Bachelor.

Have you considered Belgium? Take a look at http://www.actiris.be. Lots of opportunities there.
The minimum education requirement being a Master's degree is quite disappointing. I fear they are making the same mistake as Japan when the latter introduced their points-based immigration system that requires you to be fluent in Japanese with a Master's degree and published research, making far above the salary any Japanese worker would make in the same position.
France isn't exactly an easy country to immigrate to. I was toying with the idea of doing a Master's earlier this year; this might be the motivation I need to get it done now.
