state sponsorship - evidence of research done on your chosen state

[Aurita]

Hi,
I hear that one needs to show evidence of having done research on the state that one has applied for a state nomination for.
I could not find any specific question asking for any essay etc. on this? do we have to fill any specific forms or write an essay on this? can anyone point to any answers and or resources on this?

regards
Aurita

Hi Aurita

I have state sponsership with queensland government but i never had to do anything like that. As long as your profession is in demand in the state you are applying too, i think you will be okay. It took 3 weeks and i had the acceptance certificate from them, which then lasts for 2 years.

Hope this helps

Hi Lisa

Hi Aurita,

If you do a search on the forum this has come up before since an agent mentioned that you have to prove that you want to move there - I'm not sure if this is only for specific states (we didn't come over on that visa).

thanks Karen - i will check out that thread. I am a little confused right now because as per the forms it clearly states that you need to show evidence of such desire to settle in the state and your personal research but at the same time, the form does not seem to ask for any such evidence...

Hi ellisa

It's been a while since this thread was first listed but I'm hoping you get some indication of this reply.... I was initially going for the skilled independent visa but am now considering looking into state sponsorship to land my family in Perth WA. Before I look into things a bit further are there any pointers for the application process?
