Hi folks.
right , anyone got any ideas. we came on a student visa three years ago done course , passed it etc, cant find a job, on a graduate visa now.
We were sold the visa as a direct pathway into the country, if we did this this and this. well we did and we are as far away as ever. I stupidly chose mechanics , Qld no longer sponsor mechanics as GSM so its employer sponsored on $57 k. never gonna happen. cant get a foot in the door as employers prefer young aussies that come with huge tax incentives and breaks.
We cant justify going regional without a job, kids in school , current jobs etc. We have no drama in moving any where in OZ with the guarantee of a visa, but mechanics is at best looking laboured and limited.
We have also been in touch with Govt , who basically told us we could come in through the back door , this sounded to good to be true and despite voicing our concerns he repeatedly assured us we could. My parents decided to pay the final huge sum to get there PR and are now in. We then got the call saying he was mistaken and we don't get it
My wife works in real estate, would it be beneficial for her to get her real estate license?
There have been so many changes its almost impoosible. They want us in, spend our money, pay tax, then leave before were a tax on the state in benefits etc.
As I said my whole family are here and now residents through marriage and the like.
There staying and were going at the moment.
any advice or help greatly appreciated.
We spent years researching student visas and whilst we knew it would be hard, within days of landing the rules had changed beyond belief.
thanks
Matt
