The medical criteria are less stringent for temporary visas than they are for PR so the case may be different should you ever decide you hope to be permanent. 

We will cross that bridge when it comes to it. We will be 9 years remission by then so much further along. Not going to let it put us off. 

 We were granted our 4 year 457 visas on Monday 4th June. Which was exactly 15 weeks since we applied. We were advised by agent that it is a high risk application due to my husbands medical history and not to get our hopes up. We were not asked for any further info 

Husband is a carpenter.

He was diagnosed  with an aggressive form of Leukaemia in September 2012 and finished chemotherapy june 2015.  He reached 5 year remission november 2017. 

This may give hope to others in a similar medical history position.

Have any of you appeared on Wanted Down Under?

If so how was it being involved in the programme?

Hi,

Would love to chat to any families who have made the move to Sydney.

We are in the very early stages of visa process.

thanks

Let me know when you are here and if you need work, I need over 20 + carpenters as we speak? I am based in Sydney.

 

cheers

Hi,

we are in the very early stages of our visa process but will be looking to come to Sydney.

Husband is a qualified highly experienced carpenter with 19 years in the trade.

Looking online it seems the carpentry jobs are plentiful at the moment.

Thank you everyone, thats really helpful.

The more I read about the health care costs etc the more Im confused about it all. Is anybody living out there with a similar situation to mine?

Is there somewhere I can email for advice?

Myself, my husband and our 2 daughters are in the early stages of applying for a skilled Permanent Resident Visa to emigrate from England to Sydney.

Im reading lots of information online but want to be 100% sure on the health care side of things.

My husband was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2012. Treatment went well and he has been in remission 3 years, will be 4 years by the time we would emigrate.

Would we be entitled to the standard Medicare? I wondered if Cancers had to be in remission a certain amount of time before they are no longer classed as pre-existing?

Also for the near future he will be having 6-12 monthly check ups. Would this just continue under Medicare?

We want to know we have all bases covered and what the costs could be.

I hope those questions make sense.

Hi did any of you hire a private tutor to help prepare for the IELTS test? and if so do you recommend getting one or just using the information online.

Thanks

That is exactly what i want to do. But dont know where to start, hence my readon for asking on here

Thankyou

was yours Leukaemia as well or a different cancer?

Hi guys,

My husband and I were very close to applying for the skilled migration visa back in 2012.

husband is a carpenter.

He was then diagnosed with Leukaemia.

He reacted very well to treatment and in October was in remission.

So this October he will have reached 3 years remission.

We would still like to go but obviously need to check where we stand with his health.

Has anybody successfully got their visa and been in a similar situation or do you know where I should be finding this out? Are there agents that specifically deal with this type of case?

Thank you

kylee
