Wow, so many posts since I last logged in ...
you mean that one is required to have a flight instructor rating to be on the skilled immigrant list
Yes. As I said, apply for a student visa for Oz. You'd have to convert your licence to CASA first and then get an instructor's rating here in Oz. It is true you need sponsorship from a flight school but these do exist. Preferably learn your FI rating at a flight school who is willing to sponsor you afterwards. When that happens, apply for a 457 visa and work there to build your hours. (Basically you could even acquire permanent Oz
PR if you work in Oz for 2 out of the 4 years under 457.)
If you have the equivalent of FI, MEI and MEII, then you'd open a lot of opportunities in other countries.
