Chances of getting away with it ??
A crazy one, but please, I'd like to know me chances ?
Here is the situation.
I would love to go live in Australia. I have no skills in demand, relatives in Australia, or basically anything that will let me go live out there.
I have a friend who owns a Car Repair firm. He is happy to say I work there as a Mechanic, and have worked there for as long as I want him to say. He will say I've done an apprenticeship & loads and loads of training there. He is happy to take phone calls, or answer letters to say all the above is true.
I obviously have no qualifications as a Mechanic, but from what I've read some people can get a positive TRA (or whoever for mechanics) without qualifications, relying solely on 'experience'.
I am under the impression if this crazy plan was to ever work, I would not actually be tied down and told I had to work as a Carpenter once there, so could go sell Maccy D hamburgers & chips for a living
I would love to hear if anybody thinks this could actually work, and if not, when would the first hurdle be hit ??????
Thank you please

At least he admits to being a troll! That eliminates four oages of "is he" "isn't he".
Bit like being an alcoholic I guess, "I am Mr Troll" he announces, at the inaugural meeting of Trolls Anonymous

I reckon he would get in OK, as long as he didn't mention the "Carpenter" bit
I can understand him wanting to hide his true identity on here though

This actually angers me, as so many genuine people are getting TRA fails at the moment & to think that a rat may find a way in purely through lies is a kick in the gut to everbody fighting to pass.

Hi
Been reading this at work today - made overtime more bearable!!!! I've been lurking on this site for a while as I only discovered it after emigrating when a colleague showed it to me (fellow expat although they've been here years!) Don't really see the point of what this guy is on about, surely the actual idea itself is highly suspect and illegal? Also found it baffling that they used the terminology 'troll' as that was their first post - admitedly I'm using it too but I've been on this site for a couple of months now and there have been a few on here so I recognise the term - they don't acknowledge this though...can only assume it is a disgruntled person who failed in their own TRA application - dont like the way they are making a mockery of the process though as it was hard work to get here and get a visa. I'm sure you all know what I mean
Read on another post that new people aren't really meant to come on here and criticise but hey it's just wound me up today so sorry about that
Hope to meet up with some of you in the future and share a few beers
Jim
