Guest adam31 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Everyone, I'm Adam along with my wife Maif and baby due in August not to forget our dog Ruby, are looking at the possibility of moving out to Aus (if they will have us). Maif is a recruitment consultant 37 years old, I (33 years old) served my time as a sheet metal worker, 2 years ago i moved into the management side of things, but i am now going for a complete career change into IT. It will be about 6 months before i am in my first IT role(fingers crossed). I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on our chances of being able to emigrate if so do you know the best way for us to start. Thanks for any help in advance.

The Ozcans Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Adam Welcome to PiO If you want to get a visa through IT without an IT degree you need 8 years experience and to complete RPL skill assessment by ACS. All the best Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam North Manchester Hi Adam Welcome to Poms in Oz. Do you have formal qualifications, an apprenticeship etc behind you as a Sheet Metal Worker? Because if so, that is the skill which would get you to Oz. How long ago did you move into management, please? Sheetmetal Worker (First Class) 4124-11 - Australian Skills Recognition Information The name of the game at the moment is the State Sponsored 176 visa. Each State produces its own list of occupations in demand and it will sponsor people with skills on its list for a visa as long as all else is equal. At the moment the States which are after you are: Northern Territory Victoria Queensland Western Australia Australian Capital Territory Tasmania South Australia Everywhere except NSW, in other words, and that is only because NSW does not sponsor trades skills applicants, no doubt. However the occupation is not on the new Critical Skills List: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/critical-skills-list.pdf This makes it essential to pick a State and persuade it to sponsor you if you wish to be able to move to Oz any time soon, my friend. Have a look at the various State Websites and see which State appeals to you most, I suggest: State & Territory Migration Sites - australia.gov.au Also the DIAC website: Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) Australian General Skilled Migration Booklet Best wishes Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adelyn Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Adam, I came here through my 457 visa, currently in WA. I work as an IT consultant. In order to apply for the visa, I think you need to have at lease 3 years work experience in the same field. Hope it help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
