sitting HGV test in perth to get sponsored visa ???

[zoe cox]

Can anyone give us some advise please, As we thought we couldnt get into oz as my hubby has an hgv licence and has been working for a waste firm driving all modes of vehicles for 15yrs,hes 34yrs old .we are not on the skilled visa list. a lady from an immagration company called last week and says we can get into perth as long as my hubby goes to perth first sits his test there and then she will line up interviews whilst we there and ,if he gets a job we could be over there in 3mnths of that, Is this really true ,,,Or can we just get a sponsor with out getting ozzy licence we so confused and excited that we could actually be going some day,,,,but is it true that it could all happen so fast.
Ihave 3 children aged 3 , 6, and 16... its going to cost a lot to get over there as there is 5 of us time to start tightening the purse strings..

Hi Zoe

The likelihood is these interviews will be for jobs driving heavy rigs in the (more remote) mining areas, as there are limitations on truck drivers for visas in most visa classes.

Suggest you enquire about probable working conditions before going ahead. Some jobs/places are more suited to single people.
