hi all. Me and my wife are seriously thinking of a permanent move to oz. However our skills are not on the list (i'm a freelance courier and my wife is a beauty therapist) we are both self employed. It seems like doors are being closed on us before we've begun. Does anyone have any suggestions how we can achieve the dream???? I've spoken to an agent who wasn't very helpful though he did say we may have to retrain in oz but only work 20 hours per week...is this right? If so how do you live when only working part time hours. Any suggestions would be grateful...thanks > hi all. Me and my wife are seriously thinking of a permanent move to > oz.

Are you under 45 years old? > An alternative is to find an employer or state who is willing to > sponsor you. Are you under 45 years old? yep. i'm 33 and my wife is 23. I have an HND in IT with 2 yrs experience tho this was gained about ten years ago i dont know wether this will add weight to the application. If sponsorship is realistic how do we go about it? > yep. i'm 33 and my wife is 23.

Speak to one of the good migration agents recommended on here. I'm sure they will be able to give you some advice. Good luck. >>yep. i'm 33 and my wife is 23.

If your wife was a hairdresser as well as a beauty therapist that would help. Has she done any training in this area? tony www.jklawyers.com.au > >>yep. i'm 33 and my wife is 23.

Not really sure what to do next. Is it possible to work on a temporary visa and apply for pr when we are there? Has anybody tried this? > unfortunatley my wife has no experience in this area.

Since ur wife is under 30 yrs, why don’t u go for a working holiday visa 417 which allows u to stay at least 1 yr in Oz. I think there is however some restrictions regarding employers and duration of employment. If this works and once in Oz, you shud be able to find an employer to sponsor you for an Employer Nomination Scheme visa if you are under 45 yrs. But chek with an agent for more details > Since ur wife is under 30 yrs, why don’t u go for a working > holiday visa 417 which allows u to stay at least 1 yr in Oz.

Because he's over 30 he wouldn't qualify :) To the OP, I'd suggest contacting George Lombard, Alan Collett or any one of the other agents on here and getting advice from them. Although without a skill on the Skilled Occupation List there aren't many options left. :) > Ah, but how would he get in to the country?

His wife would be the main applicant for the work to holiday visa and therefater she or he would seek for an employer nonimated scheme. I don;t know if this will work > Well it was only an opinion as i am not an agent. > > His wife would be the main applicant for the work to holiday visa and > therefater she or he would seek for an employer nonimated scheme. > I don;t know if this will work Family members can't be included in an application for a WHV, they must apply for their own visa. ;) I only know because I was looking for my brother who may want to come out for a while. > Family members can't be included in an application for a WHV, they > must apply for their own visa. ;) > > I only know because I was looking for my brother who may want to come > out for a while. thanks for your ideas guys. We're going to have a chat with an agent or two later today so hopefully we'll know more about whats needed. On Jan 30, 11:27 pm, perksy <member60...@nomx.britishexpats.com> wrote: > hi all.

Students can work 20 hours during term and full time vacation with dependent of student eligible for part time work rights (full time with post grad study). Some private Vocational (VET) and state TAFE courses now include paid training hours e.g. cookery, one college has half your study time paid internship plus student work rights. See this Immigration Dept link: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/880/index.htm We can assist with study applications and you do not pay us anything as we are contracted to the education institutions, they pay us :) Look at our website http://www.aiec.biz and you can get back to me with any questions. PS We are Australian :) Cheers Andrew Smith Cert IV WPA, B. Bus. & M. Ed. http://www.aiec.biz |
