Sorry, I can't answer your question myself but a call to an emigration agent for some free advice would help. Kind regards Karen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The.Colebecks Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thanku for your reply - good idea. Are you there yet or waiting to go? Hiya We're still in the UK. We are just about to send off our visa application. If you PM me I'll be happy to let you have details of our agent, there are plenty of agents recommended on this site though and its definitely best to go with one whose recommended.

Lots of opportunities fro good design drafters, especially in electrical and structural. When you firm up your plans, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rew&lisa Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hello Leanne and Mark, Yes, Canterbury, Kent. Well, Barham actually. Eldest daughter goes to Langton girls in Cant. Very small world. What are your plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rew&lisa Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Fraser - thanks for your tips and as soon as we've made some decisions we'll let you know. Your advice has finally made Rew do his own research. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leanneandmark Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Lisa, I went to Barton court Grammar, and Mark went to Cant high!! not sure yet, just got contact with agent (seemed to take forever to get a reply) Waiting to work out our best visa options probably a regional visa to melbourne . Marks a structured cabling project manager working in partnership with B.T but the skills list is more for the trade itself as opposed to managers, but we have seen jobs advertised so hopefully he'll continue managing once we get there. Money looks nicer too. Have taken kids out of St Christophers to save our money for oz (3 lots of school fees goes a long way), eldest started at preston primary now. So hope we get in!!!!!!!!!! Take care Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rew&lisa Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Leanne and Mark I used to teach at Canterbury High a couple of years ago. Weird. Well, we haven't quite decided what we're going to do. We tried New Zealand 2 yrs ago but I was pregnant and just wanted to come home. It's far more remote than Australia and things are very different there. We regret not giving it longer than 2 months and so Rew is hesitant about Australia. But he has family there so I hope it won't be as hard. Who knows until you try it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy10 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Fraser, This is a really old thread but I did a search on CAD and found it. We are in the same predicament at the guys rew&lisa who originally started the thread and were wondering whether you (or anybody else reading this) could shed any light. My husband is a CAD engineer/department manager but we're not sure what code to apply under. Can you or anybody else shed any light please? Thanks very much :unsure: Yup, Autocad is pretty standard here. Lots of opportunities fro good design drafters, especially in electrical and structural. When you firm up your plans, let me know.
