Want to Move to Australia? Test Your Eligibility
Now that we've done it, I would highly recommend City Kayak next time you're in San Francisco. The tour was a lot of fun, not too guided which I personally like, but you weren't completely out on your own either. The guide was nearby and could help anyone that needed it. My favorite part of the trip was when we paddled by house boats and the ball park. The guide took pictures of us so you'll be able to see them at www.citykayak.com in a week or so probably.
Reading International Herald Tribune, I found out about the Skilled Worker Visa and thought I would share with you if you're interested in moving to Australia.
This is the info listed on the Migration Expert website
"To sustain its population growth and fill specific skill shortages, Australia is looking to attract skilled migrants to its shores. The Skilled Migration Permanent Residency visa (work visa) is specifically designed to target migrants who have skills or outstanding abilities which will contribute to the Australian economy."
There's a short test you can take online to find out if you're eligible. I took it for fun and failed but the rejection letter was so nice, I didn't mind (see below).
"Dear Miss. Goupil,
Unfortunately, according to the information you have provided, you have not passed the Migration Eligibility Assessment under the Skilled Independent stream at this stage.
However, our migration agents can advise you how to maximise your chances of qualifying for the Skilled Independent Visa. Additionally, your assigned migration agent will inform you about alternative visas that may better suit your circumstances.
You can now explore your Australian migration options by taking advantage of our Prospective Migration Service."
Good luck and let us know if you're able to get a visa!
