I need information on immigrating from ireland to Australia

Question

asking for my mam and dad,

my mam and dad own a successful plastering company and want some information, can you help??

Answer 1

Definitely start at the official Australian Immigration Department website, link provided. Its not easy.

My own experience:

Hubby and I just spent 2 years there giving it a go. Long and short of it - we're now back in Canada, broke and starting again in our 40's!

Best advice:

If you want to move there, make sure you have lots of money!

Answer 2

Fibrous Plasterer and Solid Plasterer are on The Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL) if that helps you. - http://www.workingin-australia.com/info/...

You will need to see Immigration for Australia - http://www.immi.gov.au to see if your family qualifys.

There is an Expo for Australia coming up - "Change your life and move to Australia!  See if there is one in your area soon...

Find your job at the Opportunities Australia Expo." see details http://www.expo-australia.com  - They state job offers are made at these expos for the skilled workers and they can also fast track your applications.

Other sites for EXPO’s are “Australia Needs Skills Recruitment Expos”  - http://www.immi.gov.au/skillexpos/index....

Another great website is "How to Live in Australia" - it's a Step-by-step guides to procedures and paperwork...

http://www.justlanded.com/english/austra... is a great guide that explains things in simple terms, applying for visas, working or as an international student etc…

Good Luck

Answer 3

The first thing they need to check on is a trade licence.

Many trade people arrive and find they have to start at the bottom for a while, whilst they organise the correct licence.

I am not sure about Plasterers, but look at this: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/...

Changing from running a successful company, of any kind, to a new start, even in the same trade, is a very difficult thing to do.  It is just like starting again,  I have done exactly that myself.  It can be very hard, but IF it was what you want, or THEY want, in your case, then it may be worth it.

Many people come to Australia with the idea of relaxing a bit, and it is very possible to do that.  But, if they want to build a business again, then in all honesty, ask them to remember what it was like starting their current one in the first place, to give them an idea of what it may be like again.
