My husband is an aircraft technician (avionics) and we were just about to start the process when it got removed from the SOL. The occupation has been bumped onto the CSOL which is a secondary list. States can use this list to create their own State Migration Plans so if you find a state with it listed on their plans you can apply for state sponsorship. The lists do change in line with job demands, but when we checked last month it was listed on the NT and ACT state migration lists as a job in demand. That would mean you'd have to move to one of those states and stay there for a couple of years but after that could go wherever you wanted. We've since decided to try to go in as an electrical technician instead as his qualifications and experience also meet the criteria for that occupation too. An agent is helping us through the process but it's still not 100% certain if they will accept him under that occupation so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Good luck!

thank you for your reply information here is really helpful

I will search more about this list and contact a migration agent too. I can't believe why they removed such a competitive field from the SOL, however hopefully they will consider about bringing it back.

best of luck with your plans

Hi rahalroxz,

 

Why don't use discuss your case with a migration agent in Sri lanka who has MARA license. These people are authorized since they hold the valid license and on your behalf they can apply for you and also give you the latest info and can guide you and tell you your available options.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Cheers

Shugah, Thank you for your reply

I know it's the best option. But I have to be very careful when finding an agent. hope you can understand what I'm trying to say

That's why I'm trying to get an idea first and the try one of them. It's always better to walk in with facts in your hand

Hello

I'm new to this forum & please excuse me if I'm posting something discussed earlier.

I'm a Sri Lankan citizen. I've completed my higher studies in UK in the field of EASA Part 66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineering ( B1 Mechanical). This is not a degree however the main requirement to obtain the Aircraft Engineer's Licence. The certificate is issued and recognized by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and after minimum of 2 year of work experience I'll be eligible to apply for the Aircraft Engineers Licence.

Currently I'm working at Sri Lankan airlines as an aircraft technician. I've now gained work experience of 1 year.

Here's the matter ..... I was so interested to move to Australia after I got sufficient work experience. However unfortunately the New SOL does not consist Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.

I'd be really greatful if someone could tell me about the other options available to me to move to Australia once I've gained enough experience.

Thanks in advance
