juk2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I notice that a marketing specialist is one of the occupations on the new skilled occupations list. Does that mean if I get hired by a contractor over there I could get a permanent residence visa? As I am over 45 I am discriminated against and get zero points, yet if I was 29 I would get 100 points for some bizarre reason. I know considerably more about marketing now than I did then, so logically I should get 100 points now and get zero points at 29 years old. But as we all know there is no logic when it comes to Australia and immigration. It's crazy and illogical and makes no sense. I would score highly on their English test too. I know people who have got into Australia and their grammar and spelling are appalling, yet somehow they are allowed in. Makes no sense. Anyway I divert, back to my question. I noticed that a Marketing Specialist is on the 2017/2018 list of occupations. I am a marketing specialist! If I get a few Australian clients including one or two clients in the city I want to live in would I get into Australia or would they find a reason to deny me entry?

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 @juk2017 when all of your posts seem to be against Australia and our immigration policy can I ask why you want to move here? Please also bear in mind when responding we do have high ranking members of the immigration department in our midst along with potential employers.

Family live there, as a last remaining relative I need to go there. I like it there more than anywhere else. My posts are not against Australia, Im saying everything is made difficult by their rules. They seem to favour certain ages which is incredibly unfair to say the least. I have more experience now at marketing than ever but if you are 29 you get 100 pts, now I get zero points and I have vastly more experience. To me that is illogical.

I like it there more than anywhere else. Why don't you contact a reputable agent like @Richard Gregan and see if together you can come up with some strategies. I would also ask him about the working online scenario, if it's a UK based company he may know if it's possible, the only problem I can see is that funds may have to go in to a UK bank account, but, like I've said I'm not qualified to give you that advice and Richard would be the one to help.

juk2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 ok thanks. I don't have a UK based company, it's an online digital marketing agency where I get clients from all over the world growing contractors' businesses through online marketing. My intention was to get clients in Perth (where every single family member is living) and other Australian cities, just as I do elsewhere. I was hoping that I could qualify for some kind of permanent visa as a marketing specialist since it's now on the updated list but I get zero points simply because I happen to be older than 45 so I'm not convinced I will qualify for any visa.

I have no idea if I qualify for a visa. I might do, I might not. Discrimination is a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
