lebourvellec Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Are you eligible for a Working Holiday Visa - as this occupation is not one that is in demand in Australia nor would you be able to get sponsorship. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You might be able to get sponsorship under something such as the enterprise migration agreement. My OH is a plant operator, it isnt even on the 457 list but a company has been granted allowance to sponsor semi skilled occupations under this agreement. I havent saw any adverts for truck drivers but dont give up. We were told we would find it very difficult to find a sponsor but we had a interview a few weeks ago so dont give up. I spoke to a company who hires truck drivers and they said theres companys out there who want to sponsor truck drivers but its just a case of seeing if the visa rules change. apparently its jumped from a lower skill level to level 4 so a improvement. I know you want to go to aus but i was just thinking - its easier to find truck driver jobs in NZ and Canada if like you say - you want to broaden your horizons, maybe things would change in aus after you'd been over there for a while all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
