Ask not what Australia can do for You…

But what you can do for Australia… Does the skilled migration visa hint at this? Is this just typical migration conditions anywhere?

When immigrating to Australia on a skilled migration visa you come with:

• your skills/education and work experience,
• a willingness to be a self starter – find a home, job, schools, circle of friends, community/church life to connect to,
• the drive & desire to build a life,
• the ability to contribute and participate in social and community activities so as to be accepted,
• the capacity to shoulder the risk of moving,
• the stamina to cope during the unsettling early months/years until you start to feel a sense of home, (for some this can take longer than others)

In addition, you may be expected to take on a heavy work load at work. Skills are short locally you know.

You may find that you will be the one with the need for a greater social (support/friendship) network – so you initiate the social and group activities to ensure your sanity.

Let me know…what do you know?
