Assuming your boyfriend is about the same age as you, how about he goes on a 1 year working visa to see how he likes it first? Unyone under 30 can get one. I don't know the ins and outs of it, someone else would probably be able to advise you better, but it's an option worht considering, and a lot more feasible in the time frame you are talking about.
Good luck!

hi thank you for your reply. do you know if he can apply for the two visas at the same time or does he have to wait until he is out in oz on a working visa to apply for permanent residency?

Re: hello everyone im a newbie!
Have you checked that his skilled occupation is on the list? If he is the same age as you you might have a problem due to length of time he's been doing the trade I think (but again not sure)... Have you tried looking on the DIMIA website to see what options are available?

Hello
You could try posting your question on the immigration section too, might get a better response.
On a one year working visa i think you can only do temp work for 3 months at a time, but dont quote me.
