Guest billy braveheart Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi Kelly Its ok I answer to anything well almost anything :biglaugh:I bet Edinburgh is freezing lol dont miss the cold of Glasgow one bit. It really depends on what ur looking for hun. Is your 13 year old boy or girl? If they like football then I would suggest where I am as the local high school runs soccer scholarships which is what my 13 year old son has & loves it. The school as shown in this link is to become the first sports academy in WA Forrestfield Senior High School to become a sports academy - WA Education and Training Minister We are pretty much central for everything well that I know of in the short time we have been here lol. Keep in touch anything we can help with just ask or pm & maybe we can meet up when you come over in June. Janette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son will be 13 and daughter 3, my oh has tried everything to get our son into football but its just not him so instead hes taken well to rugby, i will be a newly qualified nurse and as i mentioned my oh works for the council just now, im hoping to get on the graduate programme at joondalup hospital so we were looking north of the river, its just really hard looking at property on the web not knowing the areas! roll on june!! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Impatient Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 permanent residency can only be obtained after 4 years of living in australia i am led to believe Billy, think it is citizenship that can only be obtained after 4 years' Permanent Residency. Used to be 2 years, has just gone up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyjamie Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 so i phoned a well known migration agent today who told me that we will definately qualify for independent skilled visa so we,ll get perm residency and the oh will be able to work for local government!! what a relief it just makes the process so much easier when weighing up what mortgage we can get etc. hope everyone thats new to oz is settling in well, were really jealous sitting back here in crappy blighty!! enjoy your sunny days xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WishIdneverleft Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi There Permanent Residency is fine if you want to work for a Council or a State Government.(I have done both on a Perm Resident Visa) The only hasstle arises if you want to work for rhe Commonwealth Government. Some Departments require you to take on Citizenship. However, dont worry about it, I have loads of mates in Local and State Government who have never taken on Citezenship.
