Default Are we likely to get a visa?

I am 41 and my girlfriend is 28, we are expecting a baby in a couple of weeks. We would really like to try Aus as I guess everyone does here. I may be able to get sponsored, but we may not wish to go this route.
Is my age likely to hold us back do you think? Or would it be the sooner the better?

Age does come into the visa points scoring but does not preclude you getting a visa if you can accumulate enough points without them.

45 is the cut off point for a lot of visa categories so don't hang around mate.

What type did you have in mind going for ?

You may want to ask in the immigration forum or seek professional assistance from an agent to see if you are able to obtain a visa. Welcome to the forum

Would all depend on your qualifications, work experience, trade. Hard to tell what your chances are without any information other than your age! Cut off point is 45 as previously stated, so you'd need to get your skates on

The best way to do an 'online assessment' is to download and read the Skilled Migration Booklet from the DIMIA website.
