I have taken the plunge and done CPV and am now moving permanently. I have left $10 with government. What exactly does this cover? Have been told it is for healthcare? Do I get it back? Do I get interest on it? I land on 10 November 2014. Is that when I a permanent resident or does that just 'activate' my visa. Can I then move in and out of the UK as much as I like until 2019?
Also, I need to buy a home. Will I get the first time buyer grant and how much is that as I think the recent budget changed things? I believe that 'pensioners' do not pay the full stamp duty - so what percentage do they pay? I have looked on the government website and are still not quite sure what is what.
Can anyone recommend a good book on moving to Australia?
