Re: Hi newbie here!
Hey thanks for all the replies
Wow wee $9000 crazy money but totally worth it!
Hey yes done all the research ages ago in his field of sheet metal work and air conditioning going by the points system we qualify
I work in admin at moment but also fully qualified Personal Trainer and class instructor which I know neither qualify so would be from my partner job.
If skilled is more difficult, what other ways or visas are there?
Good to know about not needing to holiday there. I do have friends in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth & Sydney so have a pick of places to stay while get settled depending on where want to live?
At moment it's between Melbourne and Brisbane from my research and from hearing from people I know but welcome any ideas and tips?

Re: Hi newbie here!
that's one thing i was wondering about. the cost of emigrating. I too am looking at making the move in a year or twos time once i have gained some work experience as a nurse with my husband and little girl. I was hoping to move sooner rather than later but from the feedback from the forum there's limited graduate nursing jobs.

Don't forget that for Canada, you'll need to show a certain amount in your bank account (iirc, for a family of 3 it's around $19,000) when you apply. That's supposed to cover you until you find a job in Canada (it's considered by most to be far too low), and won't include all of the costs to get to that stage.
HTH, good luck with wherever you decide!

Re: Hi newbie here!
thank you for the reply and the link. i think it is good to have enough money to float you for 6 months. yes im looking at both. im leaning more towards oz as i have family but im mindful of my husband as he struggles with dry heat
