Migration

Explaining the Process of Migration to Australia

For centuries people have moved from their home countries for all kinds of different reasons. Generally, some are drawn to a new place while other find it difficult to remain where they are. From a historical point of view, a lot of people were sold into slavery, some left because of poverty, wars, hunger, unemployment, and so on. But today the reasons are often for education or better jobs.

Australia has always been a popular destination for people throughout the world mainly because of its economy, culture, climate, and almost certainly not for its diverse wildlife (unless you are a biologist).

However, applying for a visa as a migrant can be really confusing, expensive, and time consuming. The Australian government is constantly making changes to the rules even for applications that are already lodged but not processed. This is the main reason for the rise of a large number of migration consultants. An immigration consulting firm specializes in providing personalized migration services for foreigners with a different social status and background. Australia has a reputation of welcoming people with new skills and expertise from overseas and an immigration consulting firm is here to assist you in choosing the right visa, but also handle the entire application process from start to finish.

Welcome to Australia

If you think you can handle the the whole immigration process on your own, I highly recommend you rethink that decision. As I mentioned before, the Australian government is constantly changing the regulations and criteria for visa application. Sometimes, even with new requirements announced, the same may not be introduced for months or years to come and can even be rejected by the upper house of the Australian parliament.

In order to be accepted for migration to Australia, you must meet both personal and occupational requirements of the category for which you are applying and also be of good health and character. Migration in Australia is split into the following categories: family migration, skilled migration, and special eligibility migration.

Family migration referrers to people who can be sponsored by a relative who is either an Australian citizen or a permanent resident. Skilled migration deals with people with particular business and work skills, or have outstanding talents and there is a quota for territories with a lack of particular skills. Special eligibility migration deals with former citizens or residents who want to return to Australia and it also includes certain New Zealanders.

Applicants for migration visas must go through a procedure which includes health and character checks, providing a number of certified copies of documents, go through and interview, and all this must be done within a strict schedule. To avoid all the pitfalls and hurdles of the complex ever-changing Australian Migration Law, you can hire an immigration consulting firm which will take care of everything with great responsibility and make the process simple and what is even more important successful.
