hi ya the only thing i can think of is a student visa or sponsorship what do you work at. you could get in touch with a crowd called Professional Recruitment Services - Robert Walters Plc - 10k they are a recruitment agency and find jobs for employers in Australia and other countries might be worth a look at

hope that helps

Hi, We are getting into Oz firstly on a student visa and then we are hoping to get a permanent visa after 2 years of study. This visa has come through really quick too.

hi
as far as i know you you contact were you want to go to college as soon as you have a place you apply for visa you also have to apply for a work permit that allows you to work 20 hours per week i don't know if that would suit you as with two children to look after it would make things hard esp as you have to pay for your course as well and colleges usually charge foreign students more might be wrong there some one else might know.

good luck

i only have the 1 child, thanx lol ones enuff i think. shes 3 years old.
looks like only other way i can look into living there is getting a business there, not sure if that would work tho , coz dont the business have to be so many thousand $`s to get granted a business visa?

theres an easy option and thats let me wife have the custody of my lil girl but i DONT want to do that coz i dont trust her. theres no one there to sponsor me as i dont have a trade or a family member there.
