A Job Offer is the Key

At the present time - and for the foreseeable future - Australia's immigration focus is firmly on EMPLOYMENT: in dealing with visa applications DIAC is giving priority to applications from people who have been offered a job in Australia or who are certain to get a job in Australia soon after they arrive. If you want to settle as a skilled migrant in Australia as quickly as possible (and you meet all the standard skilled visa requirements), it is best to have a job lined up for you. But how do you do this?

These days the quickest route to a Skilled Visa is THE OFFER OF A JOB!

In this critically important section of our web site we will give you our answers to the question of what you can do to get offered of a job in Australia before you apply for a visa.

We say "answers" - plural - for there is no single answer, the answer depends of where you are at the moment - overseas or in Australia - as well as on a number of other things, as we will explain.

  

Hi Juan,

What Hapiness! I can’t believe that only 6 months have gone by since you started providing advice to us and my employer, and we are permanent residents and have full-time employment in my field. One thousand thanks! My husband is sending greetings and both of us are sending you a big hug.
