1. What are my chances of immigration to Australia?
   Our registered migration agents will carefully assess your eligibility to migrate before we accept your application. We only represent clients in processing their migration application after they have passed our preliminary assessment. You can provide your information by submitting the online FREE Assessment or by sending your RESUME to us.
2. What are the basic requirements for migration under the skilled visa categories?
   Your nominated occupation should have been assessed by relevant Australian assessing authority as suitable for migration, have satisfied the English language requirement, have no less than 12 months work experience in the past 24 months (unless you have obtained an Australian degree, diploma or trade as a result of a minimum 2 year study in an accredited school or university in Australia within the past 6 months), and no more than 45 years of age. In addition, you need to pass a point test to be successful. We strongly encourage you to complete the FREE Assessment form for free assessment or click on: Contact us
3. Do I need good English language ability to qualify for skilled migration?
   You will need to have at least Competent English to qualify for skilled migration, unless you apply under the Skilled Regional Sponsored category; Unless you are a native English language speaker; or you nominated a Trade occupation; or have completed a degree, diploma, trade qualification in Australia as a result of 2 year study; or work legally in Australia in as killed occupation for at least 2 years, you will need to sit for the ILETS test of English language ability. See the English requirements page for further details.
4. My migration agent has assessed me as being eligible to migrate in Australia. Does this mean it is a guarantee that if I apply, I can be sure of success?
   No. Guaranteeing success is expressly forbidden by the Migration Agents Code of Conduct. Any application, no matter how strong on paper, can be refused by DIAC. Some of the criteria for the visa are beyond our control (eg health and character) or result of employment checks/ interviews conducted by the Australian Mission officers overseas. However, our rack record shows that once we have assessed your case, you should have a good chance of success. We ensure that your application is prepared in conjunction with the existing legislations and submitted with the correct supporting documentary evidence.
5. I am over 45 years old. How can I qualify for migration to Australia?
   If you are aged over 45, you are not eligible to apply for skilled migration. However, you could consider any one of the following options:
   • If you have a spouse, your spouse can be the main applicant if she/he is under 45. If you have Australian eligible relative, you can get the 25 points for relationship if your relative sponsor you.
   • If you have an overall successful career in business, you can look at your eligibility for some type of business visa to Australia.
   • If you have children who are Australian permanent resident or citizen and living in Australia or eligible New Zealand citizen, they may be able to sponsor you for a parent visa.
   • There is no age limit for temporary residence through business sponsorship and you can qualify for permanent residence through business sponsorship if you have evidence that a person of your level of skill and experience who is under 45 is not easy to find.
   • If you have an Australian spouse, or eligible New Zealand citizen, you may be able to apply under partner migration.
   • There are a number of other visas which do not have age restrictions on them- feel free to send us an email inquiry to discuss your options further.
