The Down Under Centre Migrating to Australia Podcast

G'Day and thanks for listening to the Podcast!

In this episode, Diego, an Electrician from Chile, shares his experience with Wes Zandt about moving to Australia (he now lives in Brisbane).

He originally came on a student visa to improve his English and fell in love with Australia. After a memorable trip to Asia, he transitioned to a working holiday visa, navigating the challenges of the visa process while working hard to achieve his permanent residency.

His goal was to improve his English skills, and he spent six months studying at an English school on the Gold Coast. This initial step was crucial, as it laid the foundation for his future in Australia.

Diego’s hard work paid off when he applied for permanent residency after a year of living in Australia. He completed the necessary skills assessment and English proficiency tests, which are essential components of the application process.
