[@tebogomasetlane9664]

Perfectly articulated. If anybody wants to migrate to Australia, they must tick every single box of any requirements throughout the process. From Skills Assessment, to EOI, ROI for certain states, to Visa application. Its the only simple and sure way to succeed. The nicest thing is that the Australian government has detailed all the information on their Immi website, you can never go wrong. Thank you for the enlightenment @ Chioma.

[@lifewithchioma]

Exactly as it is! Thanks

PLEASE NOTE. It is also important to understand that housing in Australia IS IN SHORT SUPPLY and there are over 100,000 HOMELESS Australians ( including 10,000 children).This is expected to last for several years. Consequently accomodation IS VERY EXPENSIVE throughout Australia so check this fact BEFORE you commit yourself. There are to many people who tell the good parts but not the probelms.

[@mercurius6352]

Housing crisis is an issue that happens in various parts of the world such USA, Canada, UK etc so it nothing surprising as people remain homeless in several part of the world due to not being able to afford rent. On what grounds and basis did you conclude and generalize that accomodation is expensive throughout the entirety of Australia?? Have you been to every facet of Australian cities across the country?? Am sure that's a big no. Australia is composed with metropolitan cities and regional cities, you can't compare accommodation prices with metropolitan cities to that of regional cities, there is a huge difference in there prices so let's not be dense and say accomodation is expensive throughout the entire Australia. Not sure you have been to UK or Canada but citizens of those countries pay way higher taxes than any Australian can imagine. In UK or Canada, you can pay tax as high as 50% of your earnings but for Australia it not the case, they do pay tax but not as high as Canada and UK. All these are factors to what contribute to people being homeless. What the government does with the tax is also another factor if they decide to build more houses or focus on social amenities, it's up to them. Not trying to defend Australia or anything but using housing crisis as an excuse dosen't justify why people should remove the thought of coming here because several other developed countries experience housing crisis issues for number of years. The 100k homeless people you even mentioned is way smaller compare to what I've seen Canada or other developed countries out there.

Yes. Also in Nz. I would not advise people who are currently employed and who already owns hoyses to come to nz. All these visas cost lots of money as well

[@priscillaomene7158]

I'm thinking in the line of Australia...the work sponsorship or skilled migration is all I knew a bit about. But with this details from you on 189 and 190..hnmmm...let's see what comes up. Thank you Chioma.

[@BRIANNYAEGA-lk5kz]

I'm impressed by the article and atleast I have learnt something which I new before

[@user-oo8ei4lj6s]

It is better to speak to licenced immigration officers. Thee are actually laws in Australia and Nz that states only licensed immigration officers workers can give advice. We get hefty fines. The best I recommend is to send emails directly to the govt website. Or call Niw a days you have to wait very long for responses back.

It is Impossible to obtain General Registration (= positive skill assessment) without working in australia for at least 1 year (that is after passing the exams). So Michael, could not apply overseas and land for the first time in Australia as a permanent resident through 189 visa - medical practitioner!

Great video, super informative. However, does application for the 189 visa require one to have previously studied in Australia???

[@mercurius6352]

Not really but if you have studied in Australia then it would add more points to your profile. Having studied in Australia helps one improve his chances on getting approved for the 189 visa but it is not mandatory to have studied in Australia to apply for the 189 visa.
