Default Migration Agents

Hi all,

We are looking to start our application to migrate (To Oz) at the end of this year/ start of next. I am getting as much information as possible. Our application may be quite difficult as we are hoping to migrate under the CIPFA qualification (Partially Recognised), we may run into problems so we are looking to use an agent.

I am thinking of going with either Ian Harrop or OE Visas, what does everyone think of these two or would they recommend another?

Could anyone recommend an agent who they used to migrate as an accountant?

Thanks

Gethy

Ian Harrop were very good when I went through 4 years ago. My particular agent was Zeno Bolzicco and he was a top man.

Due to being in the RAF at the time as an engineering weapons technician my case was very difficult to get across into civvy terms for TRA. Zeno got it sorted though and I got my PR.

Highly recommended.

Hi Gethy
We're using OE visas. Just at the start of the process, but so far they have been great. I'll let you know if we have any problems with them as the application Progresses.
If you do a search of the forums you will find alot of references to agents and recommendations. As with everything, we all have diferent experiences, some good some bad.
Best of luck with the application

Hello Gethy
We're using OE visa too, and they've been excellent so far.

Well I'm very pleased with my Agent. I've just had a positive result come back this morning following a rather difficult RPL (Recognition of prior learning) for the Australian Computer Society. My agent (Ray Terry) at Ozmigrate has been really helpful. I would definately recommend them!!

Thanks everyone,

Good to hear (so far) that most people have positive things to say about agents. I think for our perspective application we are best to use an agent as it could get messy.

Much appreciated.

We used Annie at Global Visas....couldn't recommend her enough, she helped me write an RPL and I'm sure I wouldn't have got through first time without her!

We are using oEvisas - they are excellent no complaints so far.
In fact they are on the phone to hubby right now!! We had our meds today as well - scary or what??

Highly recommend any of them from OE

Another vote for Ian Harrop - excellent service - no worries!

Ian dealt with our application - but we spoke to Zeno (excellent) and Dave Clifton - if we rang - the calls were dealt with immediately & really professionally - but with friendly service too!

No hesitations recommending them - in fact we have recommended 3 sets of people & they are all delighted. My brother will also be using them if he decides to apply (after visiting us Xmas 2005.

cheers
