Fact Finding Mission

Hi

 

After reading some of the threads on this forum, I realized that I will get proper and best advice/information to the questions I have.

 

I am a 37 year old, Apprentice trained Instrumentation and Control Specialist with more than 10 years of experience. I have a National Diploma in Instrumentation & Control(Electronic Engineering), Certificate in Industrial Measurement & Control Technician Part 3 (City & Guilds), Technician Diploma in Electrical Engineering Theory & Technician Diploma in Engineering (City & Guilds).

 

I am currently residing and working in South Africa.

 

On the SOL 2016, there is Electronic Instrument Trades worker (General); Code: 342314 - TRA and Electronic Instrument Trades worker (Special Class) Code: 342315 - TRA. What are the roles and responsibilities/differences of these two occupations? I googled but there isn’t much information. Also what is the demand like of these positions in Australia?

 

I have got a two year old son and my wife is 34. She holds a Masters in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) & she is a Registered Professional Natural Scientist with (SACNASP). She has also 6 + years of experience doing EIA Consultancy and 4 + years as a University Lecturer.

 

We are planning to migrate to Australia as soon as possible so; we are looking for the best way to do it. The VISA we think suits my situation is Skilled – Independent Visa (Subclass 189), so how best can we hit this road?

I know this is a rather naughty suggestion & is based on the assumption that you'll be preparing the visa without the help of an agent, but if you call one up the chances are you'll get the answer to your question from them! Personally, I used an agent & would highly recommend doing so, but I spoke to several prior to choosing who to sign up with & each & every one of them answered extensive amounts of questions re which visa sub class etc would suit us most

There are very few visa options so picking the right one isn't nearly as hard as people believe it might be. If you don't have an employer sponsor then indeed skilled migration is the only way to go which means the 189, 190 or 489 visa in that order of preference. Meaning get the 189 if you can, the 190 as next best and 489 if you can't get one of the other two.

 

As to the "best" way about going about it, well there isn't a best way, there is only one way in that you follow the set application process. This involves getting skills assessed and acceptable IELTS results then lodging an expression of interest and then applying when invited to do so.

 

Regarding the occupation descriptions, as it is your occupation you would be better placed than most to read those descriptions and determine for yourself how they differ.

 

Good of luck with your process.

Thank you for taking your time and responding to my requests, so 189 is the way to go. I will post the same request to agents and see who can further assist.

 

Thanks again.

Any one of them will assist you but they'll only go so far without a fee! Yes 189 is the way to go. The easiest way to get it is to engage a MARA registered agent (there are several on these forums) and let them do the worrying for you. There is a cost, but compared to the overall cost of migration it's not a lot.

 

The application process isn't difficult but it is complicated and doing it yourself takes a lot of concentration and minute attention to detail. If you make mistakes, there's a good chance immigration will just reject the application rather than giving you a chance to correct them, and you've wasted the application fees. An agent gives you peace of mind.
