15.01.2022 Using 485-visa time to change occupation into a long-term trade one, is it still feasible now, after Covid-19?

12.01.2022 New visas are to be introduced in an attempt by the government to attract more skilled migrants to Australia’s regional areas like Perth and GoldCoast to ease congestion in Australia's biggest cities, they will also avail of the Medicare card assistance.

09.01.2022 Migrating to Australia is very difficult, very expensive. A lot of people seem to think you just ask nicely, and they let you in. It doesn’t work like that.... You need ‘points’, i.e. skills, age. Most people do not have those points. If you are over 35, basically, it’s not going to happen. If you don’t have an in-demand skill, it’s not going to happen. If you are sick, nope If you have a criminal history, nope Australia also has a cap of around 200,000 migrants per year, once they hit that cap (and they do), no more allowed in. You need to hit the sweet spot of being old enough to be skilled, but young enough to still be allowed in, not many people actually meet this criteria. Emigrating to Australia is not possible for most people..that’s the reality.

08.01.2022 Hold a little respect or support to Migrants who spend their time to be able to survive here and pay huge amount in the way Uni fees, huge taxes, health funds. And no Medicare for students even if they have lived in Australia for nearly a decade and called Australia their home. They’re not getting permanent residency due to ongoing rules and regulations but at least seeing you stand up for all these issues is something that connects you with people more, looking forward to y...our powerful speeches and their effects on such issues. Remember Falling in love, and marrying a foreigner, is so very Australian. Yet the Government is deliberately slowing partner visa processing. Over 90,000 Australian families are suffering, separated for years. All so Peter Dutton can manipulate the migration numbers, and suck up to One Nation, pretending he's cutting migration when he's not. I am bringing up this issue. As I am confused why this present government do not understand the importance of family being together. They seem to think that marrying a foreign spouse is a crime that should be discouraged and that they should be punished by long processing time. They never think that this long processing has broken up a family.

05.01.2022 The two new regional visas that came into effect mid-month open the door for skilled migrants to obtain permanent residence and eventually, citizenship. Do you want to live in Australia? The good news is there are two new migration routes, but there’s a catch: you must live and work in a regional area. If you meet this requirement, then the door opens for you to obtain permanent residence. After a few years, you could even apply for citizenship.... As of Saturday, qualified migrants who commit to living and working in a regional area will have access to two new provisional visas, the Australian government announced. The list includes hundreds of occupations. Now, real estate agents, journalists, accountants, paramedics, filmmakers, historians, among others, will be able to apply for this visa. Those who obtain regional visas will be able to apply for permanent residency if they prove they have lived in a regional area for at least three years. The two new visas: - The Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional), which is aimed at migrants who are sponsored by an employer from a regional area of Australia. - Skilled Work Regional (Provisional), which targets people who are nominated by a state or territory government, or sponsored by an eligible family member to live and work in a regional area of Australia. The government has also simplified the definition of regional Australia. The entirety of Australia, except for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, has been re-classed as regional for migratory purposes. This means qualified migrants can settle in satellite cities, such as Wollongong, Newcastle or Geelong, near Sydney or Melbourne. Another option is the Gold Coast, an hour’s drive from Brisbane.
