Question how to get into australia???

hi everyone,
i want to emigrate to australia (sydney) with my family, wife and 4 kids. i work in the house build industry as a site manager. i have not got a degree or trade and this seems to be stopping me from coming. i have contacted numerous agencies here in the uk but they just laugh and say 'you have no chance'. any one got any advice.
THANKS.

Hi

Has your wife got a skill? If not and you are well under 45, get some qualfications relevant to your job. Don't give up. Agencies only want a sure thing, they told me that I couldn't get my points as I have an unusual job. We did a DIY and the visa's arrived last month.

Good luck

Hi Bill

You say you dont have a "trade" so what do you do in the building industry?

The best thing to do is have look at the jobs on the SOL and see if yours is among them. http://www.australia-migration.com/p...ations_List/43

Even if you havent got qualifications, as long as you have a minimum 6 years (some industries you may need 7 or 8 years) experience this should be enough, provided your occupation is on the list.

I think you need to start there and see where it leads you...

Also have a look at ptlabs FAQS at the top of this forum and download booklet 6 from DIMIA website. Have any of the agents actually said why they don't think you will qualify?

btw welcome to the forum and any more specific immigration question maybe better answered on the immigration forum where several agent frequent.
