I am right in saying if you are not on any states sponsored lists and do not have an employer to sponsor you can you still lodge a EOI through skillselect and see if any employers or states will nominate you.

if the occupation is listed on the CSOL then you can apply for a 190. check the state sponsored occupations List for your OHs occupation

We have checked all the Sols Lists and his occupation has been removed, so unfortunately we cannot apply for the 190 visa.

Why not try New Zealand instead, do your time there and after you get Citizenship your entitled to just walk right into Australia , that was ALWAYS going to be our PLAN B, We didnt need to do it that way in the end how ever i know a lot of Poms who have .Good Luck Never say Never

Have been looking on their lists and my OH occupation is not on there either, as we would have gone down that route. Not looking good hey!

Unfortunately I don't.

Been living this dream to move to Australia for many years now, my OH has worked hard to get himself Triple Chartered last year. He has completed his IELTS test early this year, then he started the process with Vetassess at the beginning of June, we are still awaiting results from them. Our dreams were shattered when they updated the Sols list in August to find that my OH occupation had been removed of all lists. I am right in saying this is the end of a dream I guess, I cannot think of any other route to get in Australia as we do not have an employer to sponsor him. Has anyone else had this problem?

State sponsored would be by far the way to go. Employer sponsored 457 is a temp visa, normally for 4 years and comes with the major problem that if you lose your job, you only have 90 days to find another who is willing and able (not every company can sponsor) or leave the country

I agree with you but I have looked on each state occupation list and my OH occupation has been removed of some states lists and other states do not have it on their lists at all. We are a bit disappointed as his occupation was on the list when he applied to vetassess which was the beginning of June. Now it seems we have limited options.

Employer sponsored 457 - 186

 

Skilled migration 190 or 489 state nominated, which are likely your options. You will need to see which states are sponsoring your occupation, if no states sponsoring, only option will be employer sponsored.

Thank you lebourvellec thats exactly what I thought, just need someone else to say the same to make sure I was doing my research right.

Totally confused now, so my OH occupation is only on the CSOL list so what visa can we apply for?

Am I correct in saying that if your occupation is on the CSOL List and not on any SOL List you can only get a visa through an employer nominating you?

Being looking at the South Australia SNOL list and wondered if anybody could tell me what (Off List Criteria applies) means?

We are awaiting on our skills assessment to go through, and have notice my OH occupation has been removed from the states list, his only option was state sponsorship, where does this leave us now?

That surprises me 'The Hoff' as there is a few threads on here about people that have move over to Oz and are finding it hard to find jobs.

Thank you Tickled Pink for your advice, I should have thought a bit deeper into the question. I was wondering more about the professional people that have migrated i.e Health & Safety and Environmentalists. The reason behind my question was that I thought the recession had now hit Australia and people were struggling to find jobs.

I guess that's nobody then:unsure:.

Just for my curiosity I wanted to know how many of you that have migrated this year have found jobs, and how easy or difficult was it?:skeptical:

Not good news! Why are they been laid off? What's happening with the mining industry?

Headin to Perth in Jan and have started doing a bit of research on the jobs market - contacting recruitment agencies. The general response is that because I don't have WA experience I will find it hard to get a job. I have 10 yrs experience in Local Government in Ireland in Landfills and env enforcement. How difficult is it to get in to the private industry?

 

Anybody any similar experience or any ideas

 

Thanks

 

 

Hi, my OH is an Environmental Scientist as well, we are only at the vetassess stage at the moment. I have also read that you need experience, but that is impossible unless they give you a chance to gain it. You also have to be clued up on their legislation, otherwise they don't want to know. Did you pick WA state for more job opportunity?

Can anyone tell me if there is a demand for Environmental Scientists in Oz and if so where are the majority of the jobs based?

Can some please tell me which state in Australia would be the cheapest to live in?
