Visit to Port Moresby
Last week we visited Port Moresby with a Trade Delegation and the Cairns Chamber of Commerce. Watch this area for future development in the next twelve months. Many spin offs and opportunities will be there for supporting businesses in the service area in many different fields. There are many projects, "in the pipeline" as they say which in this case includes "THE pipeline". Many expats will be required across different disciplines and many support services will be required on a large scale. In addition to this Australia may have the opportunity to use unskilled labour and trainees from PNG and the Pacific Islands to help meet our agricultural labour shortage in some areas. Stay tuned as we may be able to help if you have a need in this area.
457 Visa Refusals are increasing the case of self lodgement
We are currently seeing an increase of persons who have lodged their own 457 application and have had it refused. If they are on a Bridging Visa this has extremely difficult consequences as they cannot lodge another application onshore. If lodging a visa application and your current visa may expire before the new visa is granted, you will be granted a Bridging Visa, but be aware that if you application is refused in most cases you must go offshore before you can lodge another application - of any sort. Be sure that you application WILL be approved or you might be leaving Australia. In some cases we have been able to help resolve these issues. Current changes are catching people out!
Helping You, Helping OTHERS
Migration Plus adds value to the community in which it works. At least 5% of our profit goes towards our charitable fund Step Up and Reach Out which assists selected young people from around the world who choose to improve their position in life through education and learning. Particular emphasis is given to those at potential risk and those who will assist other young people in a variety of ways eg: teaching and mentoring, and thereby improve their lives and that of others. Assistance is given to young people who choose to step up and reach out in return for a commitment that they will help others in some way in the future. This accords with our philosophy of putting a little back to the global community in an outreach of commitment. Our partners and clients are of course invited to contribute to this gift deductible fund.
