Rob Paul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi there, My name is Rob and i have never used a forum before. I am a qualified refrigeration and air con engineer. I'm 24, single, no kids or dependents. I did a 7 month stint in WA fitting air con down in the wine region and Perth 2013-2014. I'd like to apply for a skilled visa and come back to work as a fully licensed engineer. I was lucky enough to make many contacts that are keen to employ me. I didn't want to do a sponsorship when i was there as i wanted my own freedom and not to suddenly find myself "trapped" in one company. Also i have literally no family in Aus, just some close friends and an ex girlfriend. I'm looking for anyone that can recommend me a decent agent in which i can do my skills transfers with. I've been talking to a guy called James (jim) Gordon who seems very professional and boasts a 100% migration record. He has a MARA number but when i searched on the IMMI/MARA database it returned no results, there were only 2 migration agents registered on MARA that are in the UK of which i have contacted. But was just wondering if anyone has any advice on Jim or anyone has used him? I'm not very Anal normally but i just want to find the best agent that would do the best job. Recommendations and stories appreciated. From what ive seen its gonna be a long, rocky road to Australia. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello rob. Welcome to the forum. I can't help you much with the migration side other than to say I would definitely stick with a registered person. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Not sure where you looked but there are definitely more than that. We used Go Matilda who have offices in Australia and England they were very good. There are many more who post on this site regularly and who are all recommended.

lebourvellec Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Not a name I've seen previously in the forum but he is MARA registered, and has been since 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Collett Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 PS. Note that only individuals can be registered with the MARA, not business entities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
