Moving To Australia

Episode Summary:

Australia's migration program was introduced to the world in 1994. Since then it has become home to millions of people from around the world who have moved here to play their trade and a better & safer future. There are now, as a proportion of the population, more people living in Australia who were born overseas than at any other time in the last 130 years.

A fairly large number of highly skilled migrants are drawn to the land down under. But many struggle to navigate the vast landscape of the every changing and complex migration system. Applicants applying for a visa struggle with the PR process: lodging an Expression of Interest, Skills Assessment, English Language Proficiency Tests etc.

In this episode Amitava answers the most frequently asked questions about the PR process. We cover a range of topics that cover many visa categories: lodging EOI, skills assessment, IELTS, bringing spouse or partner into the country, living and working in regional areas, getting sponsored by an employer in Australia, business investment for a pathway to PR and more.

If you are considering moving to Australia as a student, skilled worker, business owner, or investor and would like to understand the various pathways available for permanent residence, then think of this podcast as a primer for it. It clearly delineates the migration program and Amitava shares his valuable insights about it as a registered MARA agent.

Episode Summary:

There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. The NDIS is Australia’s first national Scheme for people with disability. It provides funding directly to individuals with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.

The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community. This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.

In today's episode, Amitava discusses how professionals from overseas with experience in providing essential mainstream and community services to individuals, families, groups, or communities can qualify for a Permanent Residency or a Pathway to PR.

Episode Summary:

Australia is the destination of choice for hundreds of thousands of international students seeking high quality education every year. International students are a valuable part of its social and economic fabric. International students contribute $30 billion to the Australian economy per annum and are Australia’s fourth largest export. International students help Australia meet critical skill needs and make a significant contribution to its labour market.

Many International students are unaware of the various pathways they have to extend their stay in Australia after graduation. Many find it difficult to seek employment while holding a 485 visa and re-enroll themselves back in school fearing they may have to leave the country as their time runs out. Visa hopping by international students is a problem the Australian government acknowledges. They plan to bring in measures to counter recent graduates from remaining permanently temporary for extended periods of time. Many unscrupulous education providers charge international students heavy fees to keep them enrolled in deprecated courses which eventually leads to students failing to meet visa eligibility and thereby having to leave Australia or being deported.

In this episode, Amitava and Arun discuss how International Students can maximize their stay and improve their work experience in Australia and ultimately secure pathway to Permanent Residency.

Moving to Australia is a podcast for skilled workers, students, or business investors who are keen to migrate to Australia. In this weekly podcast our founder, Amitava Deb, brings to you valuable insights on the Australian Immigration system and guides you on how to successfully migrate to the land down under.

Episode Summary:

In this episode our host, Arun Belur, talks to the founder of Debika Migration Services, Amitava Deb, and discusses why Australia has become a home for so many from around the world. Amitava, an IIT graduate who moved to Australia in 1989, talks about his roots and why he started his company back in 2004. He details the services DMS offers for those seeking immigration advice and gives his insight into how DMS helps skilled migrants, students and business owners pick the right pathway to make Australia their permanent home.

Lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) can be quite a daunting task for some. Most people are wary of hiring a MARA agent for immigration service. Tapping into his 20+ years of experience, Amitava makes a case for why some applicants do need MARA agents and how they can avoid making certain mistakes which can have detrimental outcomes for their pathway to permanent residence in Australia.
