Not getting the joke. Why is he staring at the cup like that?

When talking about Australia, the first thing that comes up is the bars and night life. Where l am from, bars are seen as shady places where losers like to hang. l don't drink (for health and I simply don't fancy the taste). Also, l'm almost a vegan (for health and ethics). l eat vegetables and some fish. So barbecue and burgers are also out of the question. So what can people like me do to entertain themselves in Australia?

Thank you for sharing. This is really inspirational. Having traveled to different countries, I know how you feel. Yes, Australia is a luxurious and happy place but there are many hidden inspirations that you can find in developing countries. It's really about getting used to a new place and looking at the positives.

That's a very nice quote in your signature, calNgary.

Is driving taxi/Uber a physically demanding job? I have a white collar background so I don't have any experience with physical labour.

I see what you mean. I was asking this because if I get into Australia with a job that's on the skilled list but it takes some time before I actually get the job. In that case, I could drive Uber in the mean time to pay for bills. However, if it's necessary to be an Australian citizen to drive Uber, then my plan won't work.

Yes, I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and although I don't have formal work experience, I have worked on open source projects online.

Could you elaborate if you don't mind.

Yes. Not sure. Yes.

So I can take your jobs. Just kidding. If I go to Australia next time, my situation will probably be different, because previously, I was on a student visa without much income. Next time, I'm most likely to have a full time job.

So I can be in the first category of making money and living well.

Suppose the owner of an Australian company knows a distant relative who lives overseas. He recently graduated from a good overseas university but doesn't have that much work experience. Can the Australian employer sponsor that graduate to come work for him in Australia?

Thank you.

What are the requirements to become a Uber driver in Australia? Can anyone with a driving license and a car become a Uber driver? Is there any training that needs to be completed first?

Australia is a money pit. If you have money, you can live well. If not, will end up in the streets and constantly harassed by cops.

Although I don't have certs, I have practical experience with pentesting.

If you don't mind, can you give me an approximate range so I don't get ripped off by someone shady.

Does the migration agent only help with applying the visa or can they help me choose the visa subclass (189, 190 or 489), the specific job code and the state that is likely to give me a nomination?

Do they charge by the hour or a one time fee?

Are there any good registered migration agents based in India or Bangladesh?

Suppose, I do a skills assessment (In my case, it will be through ACS). Let's say the points turn out to be insufficient. So, I work hard for a couple years, improve my PTE score and get more work experience. Now, I have the potential for more points. Will I have to get my skills assessed again by ACS or is the original assessment fine?

If I'm being honest, the whole process seems very simple and it's something I'm more than capable of doing.

Due to my negligence, I overstayed my student visa by about a week before leaving Australia. As a result, Home Affairs gave me a 3 year ban from entering Australia. Now, my ban period is over. Can I apply for a 189, 190 or 489 visa now considering that I did not comply with the condition of my last visa (i.e. overstaying)?

I'm not sure about the exact job code but it will be something under the ACS (Australian Computer Society) like Software Engineer, Developer, Programmer, etc. I studied Bachelor of Science in Information Technology which is about ICT, Computer Science and Software Engineering.

Suppose I have 70 points and apply for a 189 visa. However, a large number of applicants with 75 points and above were granted the visa which reached the cut off point. What happens now? Will my application be refused or will it be applied for the next round automatically?
