Guest bindog1uk Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I didn't realize that the list was still affective, so thanks to Rachbarlow for pointing that out, OH still on it. Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAITINGGAME Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I personally don't think that us tradies have much to worry about. My Oh is a cabinetmaker, and I have looked at the new MODL list released as of feb 8th 2010 and there are quite a few trades still on here, as well as ours. PHEW!!!! Is Your Occupation in Demand? - Workers - Visas & Immigration. Even though our application has already been submitted and we are not going to loose any points, and wouldn't because we are still on the list, it is good to know that were are still on this list and our trade is in such a demand. Hopefully in the long run this will mean that things are pushed through quicker for us all still on this list!!! Well my OH - Joiner is still on the list, so fingers crossed it stays like that !!

Guest rachbarlow Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 All I think is if our occupations are STILL on this list post 8th feb, and for new applicants this list is N/A, (that's the way I understand it!), it is good news for those of us in the system??

Guest Tanjev Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Here is some positive sign, for good dreams: Skills shortage returns to Australia as economy improves:biggrin: The most highly sought after people are those aged under 45 with six to seven years experience in a trade especially in specific jobs such as automotive electricians, car mechanics, furniture upholsterers, welders, tool makers, roofers, tilers, carpenters, brick layers, plumbers and chefs. mhhh i've got a strong feeling that the cabinetmakers are still some of the unlucky guys:arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el capitan Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi all, I've been in Perth for nearly six months now and I haven't managed to find a plumbing job! There are jobs advertised and I've applied for a lot of them, this is only what's happened to me, I'm sure their are others out here that have found a job, so I don't want to put anyone off! I just thought I'd post this so u know it's not gonna be easy! The main thing I am being asked when I call or apply is....what west Australian experience do u have??? Obviously I haven't any and then I don't hear from them again even if I call back! When u get here u need to apply for your plumbing licence $200?? I think, then u have to do a migrants course with the books it's about $900(it's easy but it's a week long) I'd recommend getting yr gas license as well recently I was told it's about 2.5 weeks long and costs $2500 ish. Even with that some do still ask about wa experience!!! I'm popping over to Melbourne for a few days to c if it's any better out there! Once again some people can and will find work I just wanted to post this as I wish someone had done so before I sold everything and came out! Nice and sunny tho!!! Lol anyone kno wat plumbing work situ is like in the south east?? Just in case....;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfarrell Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just wondering if anyone is yet to apply for a visa. I am just in the process of getting all my letters/certs for the TRA for Carpenter/Joiner and will then be applying for visa. Am hoping tradies will get some good news mid 2010. Wondering if anyone is holiding off on their visa application until they know what exactly is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi tfarrell Already got my positive trade assessment for Carpentry, Just waiting for my WA SS ( hopefully mid March ) then I think I will put my application straight in and hope the DIAC and W.A. still want me.:notworthy: Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfarrell Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Am thinking the very same.. once TRA is approved I will just go ahead with visa application. And hope that we getting good news as in timeline wise in mid 2010. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rachbarlow Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 mhhh i've got a strong feeling that the cabinetmakers are still some of the unlucky guys:arghh: When I read your posts, not being funny, but they are depressing!!!!!! :cry:My OH is a cabinetmaker, we would NOT be on the new feb MODL list I attached the other day, or on WA SS list if we were not wanted!!!!! We would not have got WA SS if we were not needed. All these new immigrants need houses, they ALL need kitchens bedrooms and bathrooms, esp the new ones being built!!!!!! Keep positive..................it is the only way forward. I don't think that when they make speeches they are going to say every last trade on the list, or they would be there for a good 5 mins just reaming off trades. We are on the lists...............we are wanted...........please stay positive!!!!!!! P.S. waiting game it HAS to be cat2!!!! (please!!!!!!)

Guest Freudian Slip Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I had just got in touch with Go matilda a couple of days before the Feb 8th fiasco, to get the ball rolling and got a reply, but basically told me they would re-contact me when they had more info regarding the changes, being a tradie, taper/jointer (fibrous plasterer) im stuck in limbo as i dont know where we stand or what happens next or if we will even get a chance to lodge for a visa, im debating wheather to go ahead and get my AQF III done or wait till i hear more back from go matilda, What would you do???? Hi Scotty sdp is a solid plasterer,( I am his Mrs who has just hijacked his username,) he is working away at the moment, but when he gets back I am sure he will advise/help you anyway he can. We started the ball rolling early this year, our agent advised us to try and get the visa lodged before 1st of July 2010. At first we thought, well yeah, he is bound to advise us in that direction because he has a business to run. But I suppose you have to put trust in someone at some point, so why not trust someone who has just taken a load of money off us :huh:................:laugh: Sarcasm aside .........Yes we are going ahead with the visa application, and fingers crossed it will work out, it's a huge risk I know, but it is for many other people too, so you are not on your own, good luck!:biggrin: Regards, Gill.

You must stay focus on the 175 or the 176 ss, once you have secured the ss then you will feel as though you are making progress, its very hard trying to keep up the good spirit for a good out come, but with all us people on PIO im sure we will get there soon, I have a good feeling many trades will jump up to cat 2 although nothing is for sure, but lets all keep our fingers crossed, Must admit this Forum does keep me going and gives me hope with all the good vibes from most people. good luck guys Proview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos fandango Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Bet you cant wait carlos, when you get the ss it feels good to get on to the next stage, do you think we will get our visa this year, I lodged myself on the 10th Dec 2009, I hope i can see light at the end of the tunnel..................... good luck proview Hi Proview Its the waiting, its a killer..... My guess is that the DIAC will put SS up to cat 2..... if this were to be true I am not holding my breath for getting my visa this year, presuming I apply in March. Just hope the DIAC dont cock up the system again with these new changes due in April/July.... Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
