Six months of searching and still confused

Hi Steve The fact that your father lives in Queensland is obviously an advantage but won't count towards your visa. The best route would seem for you to get an employer to sponsor you for a job, whi…

In some areas its higher than others. In Victoria for instance, average house prices in 2009 rose by nearly 20%. Truth is, with an oversupply of demand and an undersupply of affordable housing in most areas it will go up across the board I think.

Australian Property Prices set to rise 30% in 2011

An undersupply in the Australian property market will force residential property prices up by 30% in the country according to Frank Gelber, chief economist at BIS Shrapnel.

Quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald, Gelber said “we haven't got a bubble in our residential market. We're undersupplied, not oversupplied … [House] prices will go up another 30 per cent over the next three years.”

“We’re not over-geared, we’re not overvalued and we’re not oversupplied … I can't remember in the last 30 year… Continue

Good quote from the new Prime Minister of Australia, Karen Gillard

"I don't want business to be held back because they couldn't find the right workers... That's why skilled migration is so important.

Hi John, been trying to get your magazine from my local Tesco store and failed miserably. (Normally do shopping online) So decided to pay them a visit, only to find they've pulled it from their shelves, is there anywhere else I can get it from??
Many thanks, Helenx

Hi john
We havent decided where to move to yet. We visited Australia last Christmas. We spent a week in Perth a week in Melbourne and a week in Sydney. the idea of the trip was to get a rough idea of each place. We plan another visit next year in which we hope to visit Queensland/Gold Coast areas and Perth again. We really like d Perth but still want to visit Queensland before we deide. It also depends on where we can find work.

Hi John,
I can't say that I know of any recruiters prepared to pay to attend a seminar unless the attendees have a visa in their hands. They all wait for people to arrive in Australia with a visa. Potential migrants often agree with my comment that if you send a resume to an Australian recruiter in response to a job advert you get little or no response. If anyone from the UK emails Southern Cross Personnel in Adelaide they get referred sraight back to me to package and represent. I believe this is unique?
I am willing to bet there are no recruiters who would pay to attend a seminar. I would attend as a relocation specialist but as a very small company your events are too expensive for me. I have spoken to Tom Rowlands about my situation and he understands. I am happy advertising in the magazine and support this web site to try and attract some of your readers.
Bets wishes

Tony

Hi John,
You will probably know that people wanting to 'mograte' to Australia under the 457 visa have new obstacles in their way. Proving you have qualifications is making it as hard as the old pathway D route. We have started to use the RSMS visa which as you know is a permanenet residency visa but only takes a few months to obtain., Unlike the GSM visas which I believe are being delayed. The RSMS visa still needs a job to get the visa but with my network of recruiters we are still finding jobs for clients even in these difficult times. There are still plenty of skills being sought. I have recently rebranded operating as Bridges Relocation with a new website www.bridgesrelocation.com. If anyone wants to chat for free about their options they are welcome to call me. Best wishes, Tony
