July 21, 2007 Hi, I am putting together a Visa 175 application to send to Immigration Australia in September. I have just booked myself on an IELTS test scheduled for September 8th, and in a few days I will post my various documents to get my skills assessed (in my case, Teaching Australia). During my research so far, I cannot seem to find out about the restrictions placed on an individual, after they receive their Permanent Residency visa. In other words, lets suppose I am unsuccessful in securing a teaching job, but am successful at securing a job in another field. Am I allowed to take on the job? And if I take on the job and say, work in this field for 4 years, what happens when I apply for Citizenship? Am I refused citizenship because I did not spend my 4 years working in my nominated profession (ie. Secondary Schoolteacher)? Or worse still, is my Permanent Residency status withdrawn before the 4 year probationary period is completed, because – in this example – I am not working in my nominate profession? I understand the position of Immigration Australia. Their goal is to bring in immigrants with specific skills, in shortage areas, and to have them work in their nominated professions. In parallel, I understand the position of immigrants. An immigrant may face difficulties in getting a job in their profession, and lets say for instance, due to pressures to get any source of income as fast as possible, agree to take on a job that might not be in their nominated profession (simply because it is the only job they could get in a short period of time after landing in Australia). In a slightly different situation, I can also imagine instances where an immigrant might get offered a higher salary working in a profession that is not his/her nominated profession, and (in seeking to earn more money) accepts such a job. In short, my question is this. To what degree is a new immigrant, with Permanent Residency status, limited to the type of work he / she engages in after landing in Australia. And what are the punishments, if any, of taking on work that is not classed as part of your nominated occupation. And thirdly, if a Permanent Resident works for 4 years in a career outside of his/her nominated profession, are they likely to be successful in gaining Australian citizenship (ie. an Australian passport) when their application is assessed? Kind Regards, Gary |
