CliffnAl Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 First off thanks for reading this, I have never used anything like this before so I am grateful for your interest. my dream is to emigrate with my family in2017(there is me,my wife and 2 daughters who will be 10 and 8. I will have retired at the age of 48 and my wife who is a nurse under 45 is hoping to get work.we want to settle in Adelaide or Melbourne where we have family. We came over for a holiday recently but would love to chat to people who can give us ideas of where to settle to and indeed if the dream can become a reality. once again thanks again for taking the time to read this and if you can help more thanks.

Guest Guest26012 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Have you got a visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffnAl Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Have you got a visa? Not yet, my wife is confident she can get one but can't decide a) how and when to go about it or b) whether to get sponsored. I'm sure we will need to decide soon as I guess the process will take a long time so any advice we can gleam from your good self would be gratefully appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 My advice would be to consider the school ages carefully by the time you come round to it. Also sponsorship doesn't sound like a good idea if you want to migrate, sponsorship is generally a temporary visa. For a family that wants to migrate, the skilled migrant path is better.

calNgary Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 As a nurse the skilled visa route should be quite straight forwards, it also means you are not tied to an area or employer once you arrive. My son was 8 when we moved ,he is now 15 and settled in well. Life can be good, but its darn hard for quite a while once youve stepped off that plane, i sure had my share of tears and tantrums,lol but looking back i wouldnt change a thing.

fifi69 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nothing much to add except go for it. It's a great thing to do, if you've got family around to help you settle then even better. Some people feel they can't do change in their forties, I think it gives you a new lease of life. wishing you all the best with the visa process. It can have you tearing your hair out...but it's worth it. Oh by the way...retiring at 48....that's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Go now! Or at least start the process! actually not worth starting too early as complicate with having to validate either visa or nurse reg bit seriously why wait? Can you not go now?
