      Chances of a sponsorship for qualified electrician with 18 years experience

      By mcdonagh migrations · Posted

      There are a lot of regulations, agreed.  Some see red tape, others see standards to protect workers and consumers.  Truth is probably somewhere in the middle 🙂 This is a good point though - as both you and Marissa say migrating is about more than "find an employer and move".  Satisfying the work requirements over here and meeting the various visa eligibility requirements are not at all simple.  The other factor is time - 20 years experience implies a primary applicant at or close to his 40s which might limit future options.  Finding a job is an early step but not the first. I would recommend looking into the trades registration and qualification requirements, make sure your husband meets or exceeds them.  Then verify the probable visa requirements (age, skills, health, etc) to make sure there aren't any blocks.  If you're good with those then a job hunt can start.  Good news is that trades are in demand but it can be a long road.  The usual advice of a chat with a Registered Migration Agent (there are several who post here) to verify eligibility is a wise investment applies.   Good luck!

      Think I’ve messed up my RRV application

      I don't see how that's going to make any difference. Immigration know exactly what type of visa you have. It's not altered by what box you tick.

      Cashing 20GBP notes in Australia?

      By Marisawright · Posted

      The trouble with recorded delivery is that it's drawing attention to the fact that the contents are valuable.    I don't think you get any compensation if it goes missing. I think you can claim compensation if you send something Registered Post, but last time I looked, they specifically said it didn't cover money.
