calNgary Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 It will depend on a few things, mainly his age and skills(trade) Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beffers Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Has he checked to see if his occupation is eligible for state sponsorship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick S Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 I don't think he has.. I'll tell him to match his skillset with the eligibility criteria. Any idea of the charges for the Visa process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick S Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 And his age is 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beffers Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 You can find some if not most of the info on immigration website, he can also get sound advice from a migration agent, some of whom do free initial assessments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lothar Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Ok, ill bite, even though you do not provide any information or show any prior research on the Aus Government website which can pretty much answer all your questions. If he is "good at computers" and has "programming knowledge". Does he have a degree in computing or similar? Does he have at least 3 years work experience in computing? If the answer is yes to both the question he can look at the skilled occupation list and find one that matches closely to his degree and work experience and take it from there. The costs are also available on the government website, I cant remember them off the top of my head but you are looking at around AUD500 for the skills assessment of his degree and experience and around AUD2k for the visa plus around another AUD1/2k per person coming with.

Rick S Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 @lothar Thanks for the information. I'll forward your message to him and also check with the government website... I'll check for his qualification and work experience.. I know that there is a gap in between his jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothar Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The gap between the jobs shouldn't be a problem. They look at all experience in the past ten years and add it up to give you a score. So ideally, he has a degree that is comparable to an Aus degree and work experience which is related to his degree. The degree and experience is very important as he will need 65 points to apply under 189, with his age he gets 30, and if he gets high score in an english test he can get another 20, putting him at 50. The remaining points can come from a range of sources, but most commonly its from degree and then some points for experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighbee98 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 There is also the option to do a RPL (recognition of prior learning), this is useful in cases where IT pros may not have a degree but oodles of experience and other training that could in fact add up to a degree equivalent. You would be well advised to seek the guidance of a registered migration agent (there are a number who frequent this site). We have enlisted an agent and it has been a godsend. Get a list together.. Age Qualification Experience related to that qualification (count from the date the qualification was granted prior don't count) Is that skill on the list for a skilled visa check here https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/work/skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/combined-stsol-mltssl Can he pass the ITSL-PTE english test (up to 20 points available here) Any partner? do they have a skill on the list? Any study in Australia? Can he afford to do this? be realistic it could cost thousands depending on all the above Hope that helps and do post back if you gather more detail. (feel free to correct anything above i'm no expert...that's why we have an expert helping us) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
