hi
i m sorry if you have heard this question a dozen times .
i have a friend in Australia who will sponsor me to work ,does anyone have an idea of how long the procedure takes and fees.
I have heard this is a good way to get citizenship
any advice would be great.

Take a look at www.immi.gov.au. You will probably find answers to all your questions on there. Good luck!

Re: advice on sponsorship please
Be aware that you need to live in Australia for at least a couple of years as a permanent resident to be eligible for citizenship.
Most employer-sponsored visas are temporary in nature, which doesn't enable you to claim Aussie citizenship.
Current visa charges are here:

Processing times depend on the visa category you apply for.
Best regards.
