[quote=lovstad;123624]Hi, my daughter who's 2, other half and I are currently in the process of applying for a STNI 137 visa. Just finished TRA ready to send off and are in the middle of the STNI application. Can anyone help or give tips about the question regarding "commitment to Canberra". We have never visited, or have family or friends or an offer of employment in Canberra but this is the only place that may have us. We've visited our friends in Melbourne and flew to Sydney. Can anyone help with what to say on the statement of why we would like to commit to Canberra apart from the usual - its a better lifestyle, clean and higher standard or living!

Hi, I am also applying for 137, but to Tasmania, however the questions are more or less the same. You can and should include proves of attempts to get a job in Canberra, by printing copies of emails to Career One, attempts to talk to people in Canberra, by this forum for instance. You should also look at more specific information about Canberra, don't just say " because of better lifestyle" cause all states offer that. Try to dig informations on Canberra by visiting their tourist website. What Canberra offers to you that other state doesn't? How affordable is housing and how much will you be earning, schools curriculum are different form state to state, have a look on that too, you might find something interesting to mention on your application! All the best, I am sure more people will post here.
