Just recently got my Perm Res for Australia, here's what I did. First came out to Australia on a 6 month's visitors visa to see if I like the place, then applied for a 12 month Working Holiday visa (you can only work in one position for 3 months at a time) and then met a lovely Aussie bloke, got engaged and went for my perm resident. If you wan to remain more than 12 months working, you must hold a recognized skill as listed on the www.dimia.gov.au website. There they will give you all the information on how to obtain what you want and who to get into contact with. Be prepared though, it's not as easy as you may think. It has taken me 4 years of applications and interviews to finially get where I am today. Good Luck though. And no it's not true and it's not false about Australian disliking foreigners. People have grugess against certain countries, like any country really. I didn't get any crap from anyone, and now I feel like my home country is a terrible place to live, but that's because of the different aussie life style, it's relaxed and set back from any place I've ever been. If you stick to the country's code, then your'll get along fine, just dont go into a new country and expect it to change for you. Good luck

yes we hate foreiners but only those that come to australia because its better than their country then try to make australia like their country

we have no problems with people coming to australia as long as they know and adopt our laws and our ways

i dont mean change your religion or anything like that i mean our customs like equal rights for males and females
females should not wear burkas and that sort of thing

Hi. I'm from Venezuela, and will soon obtain my Permanent Resident's visa to live and work in Australia. If your career is listed among the ones in the MODL list (the most demanded in Australia) you'll get your visa easily. You can find more information at the Department of Immigration and Multicultural affairs website (www.immi.gov.au)
From what I've heard of felllow venezuelans living in Australia, they're extremely nice to foreigners, as long as they're legally allowed to be there. That's one of the reasons why I chose Australia as the country I'll be migrating to.

To become an Australian citizen you must be a permanent resident for 2 years at least. Perhaps you could apply for a working holiday (417) visa i think that is valid for 3 months...

There are a number of ways of getting wok in Australia. Unless you come from NZ you will need a visa to work.
You could apply for the "Working Holiday Visa" which will allow you to work for a limited period of time, whilst "holidaying" in Australia.

Depending on your skillset you could apply directly to employers and ask them to sponsor you and therefore your family.

Or you could apply to the government for a visa related to a professional/skilled worker visa, which is not linked directly to one employer, but your skillset should be in high demand etc

Your success on obtaining these visas will depend on your skillset, your employment history, previous salary and salary you can expect to earn amongst other things.
I suggest you look at the Dept of Immigration Website
http://www.dimia.gov.au/ for more information.

As to your question relating to Australian's disliking foreigners - Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. There is no dislike of a particular race or nationality. Like any country, dislike of people come from actions and words, not race and culture.

I hope this helps...

Your best option is to contact the nearest Australian Embassy or consulate. You can find Australian consulates on the internet. There is plenty of work for skilled immigrants. You can also get a "working holiday" here. Most of the advice you get on visas etc on this system will be guesswork or out of date.

Foreigners?
I work with 25 people, all Australian citizens. They come from Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Japan, India, South Africa, England, Malaysia and France. One woman is of recent Russian background though born here while our Ferrari enthusiast boss who does not drive has Italian parents..

My first boss in this job was born in Java. His brother is an officer in the Australian Navy. On the same floor is a man from Ethiopia and women from Argentina and Germany. In the same building there are people of American, Canadian, Spanish and Ghanaian background.

The Hindu Mandir is about 3km from here and a family of Sikhs lives 10 minutes walk from here. Another Indian family lives a block away and Gianni and Maria across the street arrived from Italy about 45 years ago.

There have been problems with a riot or a big brawl in Sydney mostly between Lebanese and "old" Australians at the beachside suburb of Cronulla. The problems do not seem to extend outside the sizeable Lebanese community in Sydney who seem to have a chip on their collective shoulder. Set against this were considerable efforts by the Australian government to evacuate Lebanese-Australians during the recent Israeli attacks on Southern Lebanon. You will also get problems in small rural communities with a few people who are stupid and ignorant.

There is a bit of traditional prejudice against Americans caused by Americans who arrived and shot their mouths off a bit too much - wanted to tell us how things should be done. The half dozen American I have met recently were not like that.
