Australia today has one of the most streamlined and stable immigration policies which are very much in tune with local requirements and occupational shortages. - You pay the visa application fee only if you clear the skills assessment process
- You do the medicals only when the visa officer instructs you...not otherwise
- When you clear the skill assessment process, you will know that by and large you are through
- If the skill assessment is negative, you can nominate another occupation and try again
- The skill assessment process is extremely flexible and is a combination of work experience OR qualifications or both
- Occupational registration requirements can be done once you actually migrate
- You can include your parents or a dependent relative in the application for no extra charge
- Processing time is 1 year for most applications and you get PR (there being no concept of job search)
- You get a multiple entry visa valid for 5 years. Compare this with New Zealand where your PR visa lapses if you do not make your first visit within 1 year.
