Hi gfunc, thanks for the input and help? I feel the Oz issue is being somewhat over impressed here. I was certainly made aware that you could apply for an agricultural visa for a year or wherever their labour is short and then after a year apply for a permanent visa. Fortunately as I say I have two qualifications on that list and my GF is a secondary teacher so hopefully we have the bases covered?
May I ask what it is you fly now and how you came to be in OZ?
Also do you have any suggestions for how to go about this, as I get alot of people saying this or that and this wont work on PPR, would really love some help on how me and the OP are supposed to do this.
