Australia RRV Renewal

[jerrypda]

Hi all,

I am currently holding a RRV till 2014, but at present, due to my work i am unable to go over to settle down but would like to have my RRV renewed another 5 year. As i did not met the requirement by Australia, i am kind of worry about the RRV renewal.

I have seen from Ntrust website that they are able to do so even if i did not met the requirement, subject to the discussion to have with Ntrust.

Just want to know anyone have deal with Ntrust on similar issue and what was the result? Any bros and sis here faced the similar situation as me but managed to overcome could you please share with me?

Bro, All destination countries will consider extensions. They need a reasonable cause to extend. I know people who have successfully got renewals and have personally not heard of a rejection. The common reason that I have heard are sick parents etc, children completing certain courses etc. If you are comfortable, might as well let Ntrust to handle. I know a Poly lecture who is on his second renewal but in his case, his kids and wife are in OZ doing their schooling.

Yeah, I suppose on good grounds they will renew your RRV, but mainly if the person can show ties to the Country like the case you mentioned.

Back in the 90s, I knew a couple who came in 2 months before their RRV expired, thinking that they could renew here in that duration. They were told by immigration that either they met with the period of stay or the visa would be canned. This was way back when the residential requirement was 2 years, and perhaps Oz is more compassionate about these kind of things nowadays.

Never found out how they were "convinced" to stay, but it was a mad rush to get their affairs in order and to prep for relocation. The husband had to leave his job and they were stuck in Brisbane for a full year before being allowed limited visa's to leave the country for fixed periods at a time.

Yes, DIMA will extend for another 5 years if you done some time and have ties. One has to decide which boat you want to step on.Cant have both because your career path will be compromised

If by choosing which boat to step on you mean a physical presence, I would choose Oz, as I have done.

Anything else is up to a person's perception of space and time because money does not sleep.

Hi all,

thanks for the replies. I would love to be there but at present moment, beem trying to secure a job over there have been friutless, either they reject me or never even respond. Gov job is out as they need to be citizen.

I am currently quite well extablished in my SG job but wanted to stay on another few year to built up my finianial (dont think i can if i go over Australia now).

Beside reason given in the thread, i have a close friend who bought a land and built a house and inadditional, he is also planning to start a company over there so he can renew his RRV for 5 year. Worst case, i would plan to buy a property there to show my committiment. Any advise?

That explains why you are stuck. This has been covered extensively over the years in the folder.

1. All the popular destination countries are by their very nature get millions of applications for job by potential migrants who either don't bother to show up for interviews or don't even show up for the jobs that they have an offer for. The usual answers are that their mother in law sick, parents old, the country origin job still pays better. HR depts in these countries bin the applications and don't bother responding.

Where there is an acute demand for jobs, they go thru specialised HR and Migration consultants to cull the "ask alot of questions but never do anything" lot. Nurses are in high demand and specialised recruitment agencies package the PR and job offers together. Competition is so tough that's they even throw in opening of bank account with debit card with spending money with tax exemption.

Despite this, I know of an aspiring young golfer who spent one 1 month with his nurse wife on a holiday cum job search for this wife. They knocked on hospital HR depts in Sydney and Melbourne. This guy came back and told me that demand for nurses is an illusion. This is the same guy who went all the way to Philipines to find his own maid and the maid ran away. Penny wise, pound foolish.

2. They will respond, if the applicant is onshore, have a local address and local contact number. Singaporeans have a distinct advantage because of the qualifications, the handle of English and their work ethics are pretty well known. Unless you are entering an industry that is saturated, the economy in OZ is booming.

3. Buying new land and building is open to all and not just citizens and PRs. It just shows that you are an investor. Many Singapoans have done that and many are not interested in moving there.

4. Frankly, I don't think you even did any research. I was surprised that you are in possession of PR but unaware of what is going on.

1. OZ State & local govt jobs are open to PR. Fed govt jobs are open to Citizens only, even then, sensitive jobs (some defense/intelligence) are not opened to first generation migrants citizens.

The problem is getting the right mix. Any govt jobs up to Level 5 have better prospect if you are not overly qualified. Level 7 onwards are senior executive positions that attract more attentions from the recruiters.

2. XXXXXXX DELETED XXXXXXX

2. Any overseas applicants are usually filtered out by the admin clerk/PA opening the recruitment emails. (There are exceptions such as an OZ educated with OZ PR working for BBC applying for a ABC job)

You tell him that state and local jobs are open to PR and he will spend the next few months applying and wondering why there are no job offers. He will then probably have it in his head that he has no prior australian job experience.

The issue is not availability of jobs but how does a Singaporean who intends to migrate get a job. You don't need prior Australian experience to get a job. The first rule of thumb is land in the country, get a local address, get local fixed lines and say you are in town for good and looking for a job. I have mentioned of people who landed and within the week got a call.

As I pointed out about Nurses which has been facing shortage for decades. You can knock on doors but you will not get it because the HR think you are so blur and therefore not the right person. It like going to someone house and knocking on the back door for no rhyme or reason.

Excuse my scattered writing. Having a local address is a MUST.

No Australian experience is at the discretion of the interviewer - they usually activate a clause in the Selection Criteria relating to OSH or policies etc. Unless they are really desperate for workers. But as far as I know, public services are always "Waiting awhile"

I have got this from ex-colleagues in govt who spent 3 months getting HR to advertise for jobs. Then there are all kinds overseas/interstate applicants and local applicants as well.

We all thought new migrants will be better, but it is just stepping stones to another lucrative jobs with in weeks or months. And they have to start the recruitment all over again.

Time consuming!

It also depends on what sort of jobs he is applying for.

Nurses are always welcomed. Again, they have to be professionally registered here, which is what the agencies look for. They will recruit anyone registered in Australia and living here,including another state.

As you may already known how these things work with Government and their stupid idea of using agencies to get more nurses instead of putting up more training places.

Saturday newspapers will almost without fail, carry nursing positions employed directly by government, usually in fixed-term positions.

Hi sroobal, can't really understand what kind of research you are referring to, anyway, appreciate you comment
