Many Metal Machinist positions are currently unfilled in Australia due to a severe shortage of trade certified professionals with two or more years of experience. Metal Machinists from other countries are routinely hired by industrial recruiters in Australia for both short and long-term positions. Even if you don't have a job offer, you can apply for permanent residency in Australia through the well-known Skilled Migration programme.
How do I secure a Residency Visa in Australia as a Metal Machinist?
Without a Job Offer
Did you know you can apply for residency in Australia before you get a job offer? Skilled migration in Australia allows you to apply for residency solely on the basis of your professional credentials.
Eligibility is influenced by factors such as age, education, and work experience. Companies will find it much easier to hire you once you have obtained your temporary or permanent residency status because they will no longer have to deal with the onboarding work permit procedure. Because you already have work authorization in your passport, you may be able to start working right away. This is, without a doubt, the most effective way to start a new life in these countries.
With a Job Offer
Most applicants who do not meet the skilled migration criteria begin looking for work Australia, being "Job Ready" is critical in this situation. The vast majority of work visa subclasses require a skills assessment. A legitimate skills evaluation will add a lot of weight to an applicant's CV when looking for work.
