Pls help!
My nominated occupation is not electrician and I plan to go Oz on SIR visa. If I have a electrical cert acquired in my home country but with only 1 yr of experience, can I get a licence in Oz? What is the procedure like? Or do I have to undergo apprenticeship in Oz before I can apply for one? I understand that if one goes on SIR visa, he must complete at least 1 yr of full time employment of any job on the SOL list to be able to apply for concessions pts for PR, but does electrician apprenticeship counts as a job on the SOL list? SOL lists General Electrician, does that mean a licensed one or apprenticeship counts? Sorry for so many questions but all these stuff on certs and experience seem really confusing to me!

This is similar, but not the same as getting a licence to be an electrician. Once you migrate you then need to get a licence to work as an electrician. You could work as an apprentice if you wanted to and you wouldn't need a licence-although I don't know why you would want to do this. Licencing for electricians is governed by state law and each state has slightly different requirements-eg the laws regarding electrical safety are different in each state. Immigration is federal law. Therefore it is the same for the whole country. That is why there is a difference between being an electrician for migration purposes and an electrician for work purposes. This is confusing I know but I hope i've clearedit up a bit. tony www.jklawyers.com.au |
