 Re: What Do I Need To Do To Emigrate? | |
hi knifey spooney
unfortunately, you will have difficulty getting a permanent residents visa because australia has recently (o1st sept 2007) changed its criteria for working as a tiler. you now have to have 900 proven hours of college to prove you are skilled. if you have done your nvq via college day release then give one of the agents a call. try this guy Lawrence robertson at overseas immigration on 0131 625 6909 and tell him about your background/ history in tiling and he will put you straight. apparently this new restriction has caused alot of grif in aus and it seems it will get lifted sooner rather than later, allowing experienced only workers to re-apply. you may get in on a working holiday visa if you find an employer while you are there...give him a ring tomorrow and he'll brief you with all you need to know..costs about 3,500 quid to get in approx
hope this helps mate
