Could he go for a student visa at the ripe old age of 41? The business visa is also a possibility.
Thanks for the suggestions

Have a look at the regional opportunties, employer or state sponsored and business owner visas.
Also as for no trade - I'm presuming he has particular skill that can be assessed, usually a third level qualification is required, but depending on the skill previous work experience can compensate. You will need to check out the relevant assessing body.
An approve Agent might give him the most direct accurate best advice on his possible outlook.
Good Luck

Student visas are not an easy route to permanent residence, despite many
myths to the contrary.
He'd be well advised to have a paid consultation with a good migration
agent, maybe Ian Harrop in the UK - http://www.ianharrop.co.uk
And in the meantime - http://www.immi.gov.au
Ian should be able to conduct an assessment of his skills, family links,
employer sponsorship prospects, senior management possibilities and advise
on that basis.
However he needs to be prepared to accept the possibility that there's no
realistic chance of migrating, if the circumstances don't allow it.
New Zealand has a different set of rules, start at
http://www.immigration.govt.nz and if a paid consulation is desired,
perhaps try David Ryken in Auckland
