A Complete Procedure to Get Australian Work Visa

Start with an Evaluation

You need to have the appropriate qualifications and skills if you aspire to work in Australia. Australia requires newcomers who can attach value and supply skills as per the country demands. That’s why it’s essential, to begin with, an immigration qualification evaluation, to find out if your qualifications and skills are in demand in Australia. A comprehensive evaluation, done by an authorized immigration agent, will explain whether you are eligible or not to work in Australia, and also explains the visa that suits your profile.

The two possible visa categories are:

Skilled Migrant
Sponsored Work

There is a separate process for both types of visa, and we described both below.

Skilled Migrant Application Process

When you suit for general skilled migration and choose to continue, the initial step is filing an Expression of Interest. Your Expression of Interest shows your interest in a particular Australian visa and details:

The subclass visa and stream you plan to appeal for
Whether you’re attempting sponsorship from the government of territory or state
Whether you are ready for living in specific territories or states

If your Expression of Interest is allowed by an organization or a government body of state or territory, you’ll go on to the following step, which is the Invitation to Appeal. The Invitation to Appeal is specifically what the name implies — an invitation to you to appeal for an Australian skilled migrant visa. It will show the below information:

The subclass below which you are being called to apply
The time span within which you need to make your application of visa
Any further information you must include with your appeal

The last step is making and lodging your application of visa.

Process for a Sponsored Work Visa for Australia

There are few steps in the category of employer-sponsored process, but don’t make the error of assuming it means it’s simpler to appeal for these visas. The initial step is an Australian employer nomination. The documentation needed and it will ultimately depend on you are appealing below the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme or Employer Nomination Scheme also the stream you are applying below:

Direct Entry stream
Temporary Residence Transition stream
Labour Agreement stream

The next and last step when the nomination has been allowed is preparing and filing your application.

UK Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa Tips

UK Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa from Dubai

It only works if you are a “genuine” applicant / entrepreneur and have “genuine” funds “genuinely” available!
Why do we say “genuine” so many times? It is from the Immigration Rules – Genuine Entrepreneur Test and it is the main reason for refusals in this visa category. Evidence of funds – can be arranged; evidence of English – same; evidence of being “genuine” – now it gets tricky (for you) and makes it easier for the government to refuse your application.

Our advice – be a genuine applicant! May sound obvious but this is the most important thing in the whole application! You have to be a genuine entrepreneur and genuinely intending to come to the UK to run your own business or to join an existing one. Do not use this category “just to come to the UK”, it is fairly obvious to professionals like us (and the Government officers!) when someone is trying to do so.

When we work on an Entrepreneur visa application, we look at least at one of the following (better both):

1) Does the migrant have past experience of running his/her own business? If the answer is No, maybe at least their family members do? Such as a parent or uncle’s business in their home country.

2) Does the migrant have past experience in working in the chosen business sector? Very often we see foreign students applying as Entrepreneurs, in which case they have to at least have relevant qualifications.

Here are some examples that work:

A student obtains a UK degree while on a Tier 4 visa, returns to their home country and applies for an Entrepreneur entry visa to set up a business in the sector that he studied and which is connected to his family’s work in the home country. For example, a student obtains an accountancy qualification here and has a parent who is employed as an accountant in their home country. Here most “skilled” business sectors work but generic things, like export/import of clothes or phones, tend to be less successful. A restaurant or a shop are least likely to succeed unless it is a franchise (Subway is very popular).

A variation of the above: a student applies to set up a business in the UK, which is connected to his/her UK degree. They have no family members working in that field but their family run a different business in their home country. Although there is no connection to the given business sector, the family members’ experience of running a business would be helpful to guide our client with running a business in the UK. The general logic of running a business is the same in any country, the details are different, for which a professional, such as a UK lawyer or accountant, can be hired from the £200,000 investment.

A Tier 2 migrant comes to the UK, works for 2 years in, say, IT sector, then applies for Entrepreneur visa to run a business in the same or similar field, using the business connections that he has built up during the time spent on Tier 2. Here the previous experience of running a business would not be important.

A foreign entrepreneur has been running a successful business in their home country for several years, can prove it with official tax filings (not cash business), and now wishes to set up the same kind of enterprise in the UK. This usually works well, especially if manufacturing of goods is involved (future manufacturing in the UK) but tends to work better for “skilled” or specialist industries. Again setting up a shop or buying/selling business like at home tends to be risky, although it depends on the case and the applicant. (UK Tier 1 Visa)

In a nutshell, Skilled Independent Subclass 189 is a points-tested stream that allows foreign professionals with skills to live and work in Australia. This visa subcategory is designed to target individuals who do not have any sponsorship or nomination for Australia immigration. The visa is issued on the basis of eligibility, work experience, skills, and the extent one can contribute to the country.

Must score at least 65-75 points in the points-based assessment.
Be older than 18-years and less than 50-years at the time of receipt of the invitation.
Must have fluent English-speaking skills
Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), and also be invited to apply for the visa.
Must provide medical clearance and good character certificate as per the Australian standards

Australia 189 Visa Processing Time

Although, the processing time for Australia subclass 189 is entirely dependent on application to application. However, below are some factors that might affect how your application is being assessed by the case officer.

Whether your application satisfies the eligibility criteria
If all the documents are submitted within the specified timeline
Whether you have successfully cleared all medical examinations, background check, and police clearance.

Generally, it takes around a period of two months for an application to be evaluated by the Australia Department of Immigration. So, it’s important for a candidate to ensure no delay in terms of document submission or completing any other relevant formalities.

To Conclude

Australia Independent Visa subclass 189 is a highly sought-after visa category, therefore, competition is quite strong in this field.

Austria Immigration News

Austria Immigration from Dubai

For all Non-EU citizens who would like to come to Austria, there are different kinds of possible work and residence permits. For highly qualified persons, two options are especially interesting if an immigration to Austria is desired: The Red-White-Red Card and the Blue Card EU.

What is the difference between the Red-White-Red Card and the Blue Card EU?

For the Red-White-Red Card, a point system is in place where applicants have to achieve a certain number. Points are given for example for the qualification/ the studies, knowledge of the German or English language, work experience and the age.

The other option is the Blue Card. Mainly two points are decisive to find out if a person is qualified for one. The applicant has to prove that he has studied for at least three years at a credited University and the monthly salary has to be at least 1,5 times the amount of the average gross income in Austria.

Currently the salary has to be at least 4.353,00 € per month. (see: http://www.migration.gv.at/de/formen-der-zuwanderung/dauerhafte-zuwanderung-rot-weiss-rot-karte/blaue-karte-eu.html ). The required amount has been raised for 2018, in 2017 only 4.266,00 € per month were required but the amount is always adapted to the average income in Austria.

Change of requirements for the Blue Card EU:

There are certain general requirements that had to be fulfilled for both residence permits. One of them has been the confirmation of a suitable apartment in Austria for at least three months. There has been a change to this rule recently: The confirmation of an apartment is now only required for applications for a Red-White-Red Card. No such confirmation will be necessary for the application of the Blue Card EU.

As it is not easy to find something suitable and affordable for three months from abroad, this simplifies the application process for the Blue Card a lot. The card can however only be picked up at the authority after the applicant is registered in Austria – latest at this point also the applicants for a Blue Card therefore need to have a suitable accommodation. The good thing is that no specific time frame is necessary and in total, the applicants have more time for the search. Still the booking process can be simplified by a relocation specialist such as Start- Up Services because we obtain experience regarding the area. We can help you to find the perfect accomodation and help to save time and money.

Changes regarding the entry Visa: from now on, a D-Visa is necessary

Furthermore, there have been changes regarding the entry Visa:

Once a residence permit has been granted by the Austrian authorities and the applicant needs a Visa to enter Austria, the responsible Embassy will be informed immediately. The Embassy then contacts the applicant directly and gives information about the required documents for a national D-Visa.

This special D-Visa allows the applicant a one-time entry to Austria and serves specifically the purpose to collect the residence permit. As soon as the applicant has the residence permit in hand, the Visa is no longer required.

A lot of applicants already have a valid Schengen-Visa which would allow them to come to Austria. It is no longer possible however to collect the residence permit with it. In order to pick up the residence permit, the national D-Visa is required. This means that despite the fact that they still have a valid Visa, also Schengen-Visa holders have to apply for a national D-Visa as only this special Visa allows them to collect the residence permit.

As the Embassy will be notified about the positive decision for the residence permit directly from the authority in Austria, the Visa application process is usually very smooth and without problems.

Depending on the Embassy, the Visa application process can however take 2-4 weeks. This should be kept in mind while arranging the travel to Austria.

How to apply for Canada Visa from Dubai

How to Apply for Canada visa from Dubai

Are you living in Dubai and want to start a new life in Canada, but are unsure about where to start? Now you do not have to worry. Our guide will help you understand how to apply for Canada Visa from Dubai with these easy steps.

You can follow these steps to get you started on your application.

Step 1 Choose where you want to live;

Step 2 Do a little research on your immigration needs:

Step 3 Pass basic requirements for most visa programs;

Step 4 Prepare your basic documents;

Step 5 Apply for a medical examination;

Step 6 Pass language tests;

Step 7 Get police clearance;

Step 8 Apply for your biometrics;

Step 9 Apply for an ECA; and

Step 10 Start your application

Step 1 Choose Where to Live

The first thing to learn on how to immigrate from Dubai to Canada is very simple. Find the right province or territory for your needs.

Because there are over 70 different immigration streams and categories, you must have a clear idea of why you want to move in the first place. Consider whether you want to study, work or just visit Canada.

The 13 province and territories have many different climates, economies, labour needs, family environments and services that cater to each unique area of Canada.

The Global Talent Stream helps talented IT workers find jobs with sponsored Canadian companies. British Columbia’s Healthcare Professionals Stream was created to help doctors, nurses and other medical professionals migrate to the province due to massive labour shortages.

Other provinces have introduced the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program to help 2,000 skilled workers make Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Newfoundland and Labrador their home. It also gives applicants the chance to bring their family to Canada with them.

Step 2 Do Some Research

The next step you need to complete on our How to immigrate from Dubai to Canada guide is research.

Express Entry is one of the most well known systems that many immigrants have used to immigrate to Canada from Dubai. The four main programs managed by the Express Entry system are the:

Federal Skilled Worker Program;
Federal Trades Program;
Canadian Experience Class; and
Some Provincial Nominee Programs

Through the Express Entry system, people have the chance to receive an ITA (Invitation to Apply) to become permanent residents within six months so long as they meet all the requirements of one of the programs mentioned above!

Did you know that, according to the Canada Job Bank, there are around 470,000 jobs in Canada! This is one of the reasons the country is constantly creating new immigration programs to help keep up with labour demands.

Another popular immigration program is the Family Sponsorship/Reunification program that lets you bring your family over to Canada after you become a permanent resident of the country.

Many international students apply for a student visa to Canada to help them become actual permanent residents in the future because some immigration streams and categories look more favourably on applicant who graduated from a Canadian university! These visa streams include the International Graduate Program and Graduate Entrepreneur Program.

Not quite sure about which visa programs are right for your unique needs? Do not worry. We can put you in contact with an Account Manager who can talk to you about your options and the application process. Simply complete this contact form and they will call you personally to tell you all you need to know.

Step 3 Pass Basic Requirements

All visas, no matter which provinces or territories they are in, will have basic requirements you must pass before you can go further with your immigration.

Set work experience is normally a requirement for any economic immigration program. You must generally have around three years of work experience to apply though this does vary from program to program so make sure you know before you apply.

Please note that internships and volunteer work will generally not be counted as work experience. Some programs will require Canadian work experience.

Language ability matters. Depending on where you immigrate, your language skills in French or English can really influence your immigration chances.

You must prove that you have the ability to speak, read, write and listen in either of these languages to a sufficient degree. You can do this through the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) for English exams and TEF (Test d'evaluation) for French exams.

Just make sure you select the General Option for these exams, as it is commonly used for immigration purposes. Do not select the Academic version unless you wish to study in Canada as an international student.

A clear criminal record is a must when you apply to immigrate to Canada. You must prove this through a Police Clearance Record. Anything from a DUI to unpaid speeding tickets can cause real issues with your application.

Step 4 Prepare Basic Documents

To get ready for your immigration to Canada, you must at least prepare these basic documents.
A valid form of identification like your ID, passport, birth certificate or driver’s license;
Medical examination from an approved doctor from the Canadian Panel of Physicians;
Valid language exams results from IELTS or TEF that are not older than two years;
Police clearance document;
Biometrics; and an
ECA (Educational Credential Assessment)
