Anyone from N Ireland Migrating
 

Hi New to this site, just wondering if anyone from Northern Ireland is in the process of Migrating to Oz

Hi and welcome to the forum! It's good to see someone else from NI!

Myself and my wife and 2 young kids are (hopefully!) off to Sydney in November from sunny Belfast.

What are your plans - are you at the early stages of the process or nearly ready to go - where are you thinking of going, etc?

Cheers & feel free to PM me.

Hi everyone, well we are from Larne and our Visa application was lodged on 17th August, house is currently up for sale with no luck, housing market has slowed down a bit! We are thinking of heading for the Central or Sunshine Coast, we has Bundeberg in mind as the company my husband works for currently has a position available in there plant there, but this will depend on when the visa comes through. Our Migration Lawer hopes for the end of the year but the company wants the position filled by the end of the year. We has a young boy of three so we think this is the right time to go, but its really scary!

Good luck with selling the house, I am sure it will all fall into place!

hi mark
we are also from n. ireland Portadown area, we are hoping to go to bundaberg also. Have you been there before?

Re: Anyone from N Ireland Migrating
 

Hi there,

We travelled up the east coast from sydney to bundaberg in may this year.....We liked mooloolaba on the sunshine coast as well but really fell in love with Bundaberg straightaway......it is a really nice area and the people were really friendly......we felt at home almost immediately!

Have you been before?

When do you hope to emigrate?

It's great to hear someone else from N.Ireland going to Bundy as well as a few people from the rest of the uk.......I believe you have been in touch with teryna......I think she is hoping to be in bundy at the same time as us.....end of the year or start of next!

It would be good to keep in touch!

Pm or e-mail me anytime

Oh this is so scary... Im from Larne also ahhhhhh

My husband is from England and we are on our last legs and nearly ready to go. House sold in 3 viewings and now renting.

We are heading for Perth but it might change if the rite job offer comes in.

Re: Anyone from N Ireland Migrating
 

Great to hear from some other mad person moving away from Larne!

Unforunatley our house isnt sold yet, we put it up for sale start of July, only had 4 viewers, 3 of which were waist of times! Property market gotten really slow 0 its depressing.

What stage are you at? Our visa application was lodged on 17th August, and we just cant wait to go.

Re: Anyone from N Ireland Migrating
 

Our was lodged in March and our medicals have been sitting in Sydney for 2 months now. They are very slow at the moment due to students visas needing to be done fast. Hope to have medicals through this week or next. Case officer is just waiting on medicals so hope to be in oz Oct/Nov time.

All fingers crossed...:thumbsup:


You always get people who like to have a nosey especially in Larne lol.:D

Re: Anyone from N Ireland Migrating
 

Hi all N.I ppl

We are from Magherafelt (hopefully not for too much longer) hoping to go to Brisbane/Gold Coast depending where hubby gets a job .......he's a baker.

Our timeline is something like this

Visa lodged 3 May
house on market 2nd wk july
ack 26 july
medicals sent 10 august

The only thing about the house not being sold is that there is none being sold at the moment tho thats not helping hubby he's pulling out what hair he has left :unsure:
