Helicopter pilot migration to AUS
 

Hello, I am a helicopter pilot looking to migrate to AUS and hoping to find someone who has been through the process who can point me in the right direction. I understand I neeed to do CASA assessment and find sponsorship. How hard is to find a sponsor? Do training agencies help with CASA assessment? Etc. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you

Helicopter Pilot is on the Skilled Occupation List: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...ccupation-list

However if you experience is limited to light helicopters your chances of gaining employment and sponsorship would be negligible - there are many Australian citizens and permanent residents ahead of you in the employment queue. If your experience is heavy specialist helicopter operations you may have a chance.

Recent redundancies and the reduction in offshore activity means that there are quite a few out of work S-92 and AW139 pilots in the marketplace.
