There must be a way?!

[lozwalsh91]

Surely there has to be a way I can become a resident of Australia. I have a degree from England with Business Information & Systems, but was told on here that was void as a skill unless 2 years experience in that area of work?

 

 

I've read numerous other ways such as;

 

Moving to NZ to gain PR there?

Self sponsorship, not sure how this works without a trade or setting up a business?

Becoming a student, the fees seem absolutely ludicrous considering the alotted time you can work on this visa, not sure how many international students manage?

 

And the obvious one people talk about is marrying an Australia, although the time for meeting the woman of my dreams is radically closing quick.

 

Apart from these is there no ways of gaining entry to be a resident? It just seems very difficult for a country that would thrive from letting people in surely?...

 

I don't think I can get a sponsorship because I have no trade which sucks.

You can get sponsorship if you have an occupation on either the sol or csol.

 

There isn't a way for everyone to get in. I came on a student visa and the only way is to bring money with you. But that hardly ever leads to staying now. They closed most of those doors.

Without any commercial experience even PR in Nz is unlikely and even then you would need to wait a few years to become a NZ citizeN before you could live and work in Australia without a visa. A lot of people come on these forums quoting this and that degree or a masters but with no commercial experience maybe thinking that both Australia/New Zealand dont have any graduates with same qualifications all competing for jobs. Maybe you need to consider a working holiday visa first to see if you could even get a job without previous commercial experience.

Gain the two years experience to pass the skills assessment and then apply providing the occupation is still on the sol/csol?

[VERYSTORMY]

I think you will find oz lets lots of people in. But it stipulates what skills those people have based on what it needs. It produces many graduates of it own, and so simply having a degree is of little relevance.

Why would Australia "thrive" from letting people in willy-nilly? Fifty years ago, Australia was under-populated and desperately needed people to fill countless vacancies in industry and business, and to start their own businesses to service the new country. Australia is not a new country any more. It may look like an empty continent - but huge swathes of Australia aren't habitable because there's not enough water.

 

Australian unemployment is higher than the UK's - they don't want to let people in who will struggle to get a job and end up drawing unemployment benefits.

A lot of people seem to be under the misconception that Australia will 'thrive' as you put it, by 'letting' people in. Yes, sure it will and it has.

 

However, Australia is a first world country with lots of trained and educated people, the days are gone where it was crying out out for many skills.

 

Australia can rightly be very choosy about what skills are needed and in doing so look closely at demand.

 

As for studying, well, international fees are expensive for students, just the same as any other country....

 

Your post seems very self entitled, not sure why. Think about what you can offer (get some actual experience) or train in perhaps.

NZ Citizenship takes a fair amount of time I think, probably for that reason.

How about this for an idea?

And even then it does not give anyone the right to be a permanent resident or citizen of Australia, only a temporary resident.

Why ? There are no age restrictions on Spouse Visas.

The main point though is even getting PR in NZ is doubtful as a route without commercial experience and job being on the 'wanted' list. Even if that was a viable route would be years after that to become a NZ citizen and then as you say even then could only be a temp resident in Australia without applying for a perm visa. Which ever way you look at it the poster needs to be realistic and look at this as a long term plan over number of years and for sure via NZ is not a quick fix but likely adds more years in the end. A working holiday visa could be an option simply to even test the water as not even sure the poster has even been to Australia or whether this seems like a good idea based on some TV program. Who knows might be some romance in the air which at this point might be the only viable option.

[Quoll]

It really is incredibly simple - get yourself the training and experience that Australia needs then hope you can apply. Nobody has a "right" to emigrate just because they want to. If you have a degree/skill that is on the list then get the experience to go with it and work your way there.

Have you consulted a registered migration agent about the possibility of developing a viable visa strategy?

[Tickled Pink]

At present you have nothing in particular that is special or unique to offer. There are plenty of graduates from Australian Universities that could/can help Australia 'thrive' without there being the need to offer a non citizen a visa. People that migrate (with exception to those on visas such as parent or spouse visa) are generally older because they have taken the time throughout their 20's, maybe even 30's plus to get qualifications, experience and often further specialist qualifications again. These are the people that help the country 'thrive' because they have a wealth of experience to offer, fill gaps where needed, or can maybe train or teach Australians so the gaps can be filled without the need for the issue of visas.

 

At your age you need to be realistic, enjoy the rest of your time on your WHV, use it for what it is. If you want to come back here long term you probably need to develop a 5 year plan or so - like an awful lot of posters on here... but I can tell you from my own experience of migration that there 'can' be ways, there often 'is' a way.... but it takes planning and work - it won't fall in your lap. As for there 'must' be a way? No, for plenty of people there simply isn't.

[Skyba]

Go home get the experience and do it. If you want it enough you will do what it takes.

 

I retrained as an electrician, got the necessary experience and then applied for the visa. It took 5 years of planning and then a further 12 months of organising and doing assessments and tests and now I have my visa. It can be frustrating and the rules change ALL the time, when I first started organising I needed 2 years post qualification experience to get the visa, two months before I started the process they changed the rules to 2 years including training for electricians with my qualifications lol. Typical! Lol

 

 

Nothing good comes easy in this life but everything is possible if you want it enough.
