Perthpops Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hello, Looking for advice off any Bricklayers who have emigrated recently to Perth on this skilled visa. My boyfriend has been a bricklayer for years and we have been together for a year. Can anyone advise us how long the visa will take approx and even maybe recommend a migration agent?

gazza Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi My OH is a bricklayer and we had a dream to come to the land of milk and honey! Back in 2007 they said it was hard but there was plenty of work and now the mining boom is over they say the same, best advice is if he is good at what he doea, get out there, walk onsite and ask for work. Give it a try, if he is worth it he will get work and a good wage but the summer is a killer no doubts. The bush flies will test him but most brickies have a strong mindset so good luck. Getting up at 4am is no fun but if he finishes at 3pm and you have a pool it' ok x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks x You may want to have a look at the abs site for levels of construction. Currently quite low. Doesn't mean it will be in two years time. Be wary of those who say she'll be right. You may have to budget for unemployment. There are several financial ruin threads about. Be open to other states, as there may be more work there, especially nsw and Queensland.

MaggieMay24 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 There are several good migration agents who post regularly on this forum - look for usernames WRussell, Raul Senise and Alan Collett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
