Dom Churchill Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hiya Everyone. I was recommended this site from my sister who used it when she was emigrating back in 2008. I have been to visit her a few times and everytime I go there, it reinforces my desire to move out there permanently. Trouble is, I do not possess any skills that are on the Critical Skills List :cry: I am here to meet and greet fellow people in the same/similar situation and to get as much info as I can on how I can go about realising my dream to live in Australia. I know I will need to retrain in a skill that will be useful, but I heard something about Family Sponsorships for relatives whom are Australian Citizens??? Thanks in advance Everyone and I look forward to interacting with you in the future DOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ianjb Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 welcome, I dont know any of the answers to this but will be interested in the answers as I would love to try and get my sister to take the jump in a few years once im settled. someone with some more knowledge will be along soon to offer their knowledge Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Have you looked at the Employer Nominated Skilled Occupation in Demand (ENSOL) list too? There is a far wider range of jobs on there, the snag is that you have to find an employer willing to sponsor you. Have a look on http://www.immi.gov.au and specifically the visa wizard which may help to give you a few ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi Dom and welcome, I'm in a similar situation as you! Really want to get over to Oz but my current job isn't on the Skilled Occupants List. Looking at exploring all avenues to try and find a way over permanently!

Dom Churchill Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks Guys. I have checked out the Oz Govt Website and did a mock points test, and I came up short as I didn't have any skills or experience that are required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
