Hi Maria,

 

Yea were from Dublin too, cabinteely for me, tallaght for boyfriend!

 

Our 457 is with the DIAC at the moment so haven't been asked about the TRA yet! he is currently working for engineering company doing some electrical work but its more maintenance type, he was industraial electrician at home.

 

so once that comes through I was going to apply for the ARTC? (women have to do everything ;-))

 

Should I get him to do the wiring course in SA before i do this?

Hi Ciara,

I feel your pain i have to do it all too what are they like....

Yea he could do the peer course in SA before he gets his ARTC, but to be honest you might be better off waiting because you need both to get the licence in SA and it would save you a second trip to Adelaide

I was on to peer last night, they sent me all the information if you want i can send it to you just PM me your e mail address.

I'm originally from finglas and the OH is from East wall but we're living in donaghmede now.

Life is obviously treating you well in Sydney if your staying.

Thomas has lots of relations in Sydney so when the 457 comes through that's were we will head to first.

Well bye from a surprisingly sunny but not so surprisingly cold Dublin, talk to you later

Hi All,

 

I have just come across this site. My partner is a qualified Irish electrician, he finished his apprenticeship in 2004.

 

We have been living in Sydney since march on a 417 visa, my partners job are now sponsoring him so we have just lodged our 457 visa which fingers crossed will be approved in a couple of weeks.

 

My partner wants to get his NSW electrical license, i have been reading back through this form and I just want to enquire is the nest way for him to do this through the SA route?

 

I am hoping to get sponsored in my position too so that he can go defacto on mine and change jobs as he is quite low paid in current job, which is why having license would make it easier to find other work.

 

Any advice welcome!

 

Thanks a mil,

 

Ciara

Hi Ciara,

Did your boyfriend do a TRA assessment for the 457 ?

We have just been offered a 457 in NSW we already have a 176 PR in since may so had the done the TRA.

So the plan is as soon as the 457 is granted to do the wiring regs course in peer south Australia, reapply to TRA for ARTC and get the A grade licence and trans fare it to a NSW one well that's the plan anyway.

I think that's the easiest and fastest way to obtain the licence.

Were in Ireland are you from ?

we're in Dublin, soon to be in coffs harbour can't wait.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone can answer this one. My oh has been offered employer sponsorship in coffs harbour just wondering what kind of wages he should expect to be offered.

Also the company want him to so a solar power installation and design ticket. Does anyone know were this can be done i can't seem to find it on the tafe web site.

Thanks.

Hi guys i wonder if anyone can offer some advice, my OH is an electrician in Ireland we have applied for a 176 family sponsored visa and are waiting on SA sponsorship.

He did the TRA for immigration purposes.

Am i right in thinking that he has to obtain an ARTC first ? is this similar to TRA for immigration.

Then do the wiring regs course in peer ?

Then get the licence ?

Can he then work as an A grade sparks straight away or does he have to work on a restricted licence?( hope not he's highly qualified ) Sorry for all the questions its all very confusing.:goofy:

Thanks in advance.

Its the State migration plan, its a list from each state of their occupations in demand, if your on whatever state list you are applying to you will get priority 2 processing. None of the lists are out yet they should be published soon so fingers crossed.

Hi,

That's right its great news for us, so one down one to go SMP next if we are on that hopefully we wont have to wait till 2012.

Its due out on Friday, fingers crossed that sparks will be on it, they were on the draft list but i suppose that doesn't mean anything.Tthe new list doesnt come into effect till july.
