Get a job and apply for residency...either work to residence or if your qualifications relate to your job offer skilled migrant.

Good Luck! It took me 7 years after working on a one year holiday work visa to get Permanant Residency.

Really? I thought my muddling about for four-and-a-half years on temporary work permits before applying for PR was over the top.

Seven years?

Cool.

To be honest would never have got residency until I met my wife and having a brother over here only came into play at that point. Spent several trips out here looking for a wife ends up with a English wife :blink:
