I'm going for the youngest aggregate age for when a couple emigrated. I was 21 and my first wife was 18 (preggas with a second kid). So that's aggregate... er... 19 1/2. Beat that!

Hope for all , I think not seeing as you are in Canada , have you missed the heading of this forum?
I rant not because I have nothing to say?

"What is the collective noun for Poms in Canada?"
It used to be Limeys but you don't hear it much these days. Too many other groups to pick on thanks to former Prime Minister Trudeau.
To PB,
The heading says "What is the average age of a migrant?" It doesn't say "what is the average age of a migrant to Australia? But I'll take the hint - thank you. If you feel I am not welcome in YOUR section, why don't you just come out and say so?

I'm 30 this year and do not have assets like a house etc. which kind of bothered me for a while, especially when you read about slightly older applicants selling up and going over with something to offer and in the back pocket. I realise I don't have this because i've spent to much time travellling around.
I guess all I can offer is my youth and skills - sounds good to me.

Looks like I might be the oldest in this thread. I started by going for Victoria state nomination last year when I was 41 and applied for the visa about 2 months ago having turned 42 in December. My wife is 40 and our children are 7 and 5. Looks like we may get our visa at an accelerated rate due to an apparent shortage of state nominated applicants at the moment. We've been asked for medicals/police records already. Our agent GoMatilda ( who I highly recommend) says that its not impossible that we may get our visa as quick as 2 weeks after our medicals go in, which seems unbelievable. Just hope I can get a job, as I'm in IT which isn't quite the advantage it used to be. We'll see.
