Hello just wondering if anyone on here has used emmigration agents at all? They have advised the help with the visa and job searching side of things I would like to hear people's experiences of them???

Thankyou for this, has he managed to get anything yet at all? Xx

After all the research I have done , it's not looking great to emigrate - we knew initially that my OH would have to start at the bottom which we did not mind but from what many have advised they are even struggling to get employers to take on anyone on the restricted licence - so what's the point??? We cannot afford to go and struggle we initially thought he could get work as an electricians hand - we are going to speak with our emigration agent but they are only going to tell us what we want to hear - maybe it's different in other territory's????

Thanks for this that sounds great I hope we do!! Xx

I'm glad I have researched into all this!! Seems abit disheartening when your told they are short in these trades to find this is not maybe so.... But we do want to go for the lifestyle and to be honest even since he has been self employed right bang in the middle recession here in the uk it has been a struggle something we are definitely use to by now, and we are not really doing anymore better really than when he was working for someone else, so we will have to see

Thanks for all this information it's great! Obviously you mention a lack of work due to the mines, he only really does housing re-wires bit bobs like that etc he is also is registered with napit as he can fully sign off work as well?

Yeh!!! Go out on quite a few ride outs with actually and made a lot of friends on SYB - how you finding it over there? X

That's great where would we start to get the restricted licence from? Once in perth?? And how much does this cost? And what roles ca he do and pay we looking at on this restricted licence? Thanks again - are there any sites about this ??

Yeh he's from UK I don't think we realised this side of things well we did but the agent advised that we would have no problems getting work etc so now I'm not sure - it may have to be one of those things that we have to jump the gun and go for and hope for the best lol!!! Xxx

Sorry an a grade licence any help much appreciated!! X

Yeh that was what we was worried about- how much is the licence and can you do it over here? Xxx

Hey!!! Nice to hear from someone like us!! Haha wish you all the best - did he become an electrician in the UK or over in Australia?? Xxxp

Hello we are starting out visa process I'm abit worried our agent advises we would have no problems finding work but read a few posts about electricians and him needing an a licence??? He's going to doing his skills test here in the UK is this not enough? Thanks!!

This is very interesting me and my partner both have yams! Just trying to find what the bike scene is like because I cannot live without my bike so as soon as in over and got work etc sorted that's the first thing I'm buying!!!
