Guest mantha Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi Cal Thanks for the info - I will see what I can find. When are you off to Oz then? Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 hopefully this time next year but got to get through the medical yet (i have a liver disease),we knew from the start i may get knocked back but no-one seemed to know for sure ,so we just decided to go for it ,but i must admit i would be gutted now ,our advantage is we are going on my partners occupation and im not over the health spend limit but no one knows if i may need a transplant 20yrs down the line,,we are crossing our fingers and legs and anything else we can.it will be a better life for the children in oz and hopefuuly less stressful for us , we are looking at brisbane and the surronding areas ,i have never been but gary travelled around for year (albeit 18yrs ago ) and said brisbane or perth would be best suited to us and after alot of reading and research i do fancy brisbane,but have some distant family in perth ,i dont know ,,there is so much to think about ,so i guess we go were the jobs are ,keep me informed as to how you get on with the jobs ,have you any qualifications behind you?i did nvq2 a few months ago and really want to get No3 before i go,im rambling again so im going take care good luck cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mantha Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hi Cal I have been on the website you suggested and it was very useful - thank you. We will keep our fingers etc crossed for you - don't give up we have been trying for 2 years and thought that we wouldn't get through. Becuase my partner is over 45yrs we needed a work sponsor (then to sponsor for residency once we are there), we had so many knock backs but now we are finally off - so don't give up!!! And if you decide to go to Perth instead of Brisbane you will have to look us up. Take Care Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
