Priyanka Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hello everyone, I am planning to move to Australia. I am a software engineer by education from a very elite institute in India (Indian Institute of Technology Delhi) and have worked for both finance and software industry for three years in total. I want to do a part time culinary course from Australia and I can work along side (in either IT or finance). I am planning to get a part time job say maybe 4 days or something. I wanted to know what kind of visa would suit for the part time work and would I be able to study while being on that visa? I like the option of the work visa and then study part time with it better than being on student visa and work part time (20 hrs per week). I see that the software engineer profession is amongst one of the skillsets. Thank you so very much, Priyanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You can't get a visa to work part time unless you apply for pr straight off. Have a look to see if you could qualify for the skilled independent or state sponsored visas. Once you have pr you can do whatever you like.

Priyanka Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 My profession or studies is one amongst the skill sets. I think I can get the skilled independent or state sponsored visas. I guess that is done by registering on the point based system test on the immigration website. But how it works further then? I will be employed by the government or I wil be working independently on a private basis. like self employed.. ? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You apply for a visa. If they want you they invite you to apply. Then if you get the visa you come over and you find yourself a job. If you can't find a job you don't work. You can be self employed. You will need a skills assessment done and ielts done before you can apply.

Priyanka Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I looked for the PR option. I can do whatever I want then with a PR. Can study or work or whatever. I need to know what are the practical timelines of getting a PR? I will complete the EOI by say March end. Then how much time can I expect will take to get a PR?
