Is it true you stand a better chance of getting residency in Australia if you
are a trained pastry chef than if you are a police officer (in a UK context)?

Hi Ben,
What you don't know is that we all watch "the Bill" here and haven't had the
benefit of a BBC program about pastrycooks. Therefore we feel that we have quite
enough UK police but can't get enough of those Cornish pastries

Nothing wrong with pastry chefs - I like pastry and pastry products. A lot. In
large quantities. As for the whole 'hours put in thing', I doubt being a pastry
chef could compare with the torments which poor rozzers have to face on the mean
streets of say, Congleton.
This was meant as a genuine question - is it true that certain professions (no
matter how noble!) are considered more favourably than others with respect to
immigration.

Yes. The aim of the Australian skilled immigration program is to attract people
who are highly skilled and contribute to the Australian economy. Therefore they
favour people with certain skills, who have a good chance of finding employment,
over those who have an occupation in which it is hard to find a job in
Australia. If you are interested in details, you will find the Skilled
Occupations List here: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf
If you have an occupation that is not on that list or at least similar to one on
the list, you cannot apply as a skilled migrant. Doctors, for instance, are not
on that list because Australia has a lot of them. The ones that are on the list
give between 40 and 60 points for the points test. The current pass mark (the
numer of points you need to get a PR visa) is 110. As you can see somebody in an
occupation with only 40 points will it find harder to reach that passmark than
somebody with 60 points. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Stefan
