groentjie Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi guysI'm actually getting conserned. There is such a lot of us that are thinking of leaving. I'm worried that the Aussies will stop us getting into their country soon. As all of you I'm starting this long process to eventually get there. Also because I do not see a future for my son here. I also want to take my mom as there is nobody else that can take care of her here. Did anyone of you do this? How do we need to apply for her to go. We qualify for a skilled visa.I would also like to know if there is anything that you DON'T like in Oz.Anyway, you will hear a lot of me in the future.See ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendia Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi groentjie,Welcome to the forum.You can take your mom with as a dependent. You have to prove that she is solely dependent on you, she lives with you, you feed her and clothe her, medical aid etc..... So in other words if you had to leave her here she wouldn't be able to survive on her own.Secondly is the "balance of family" (I think thats what it's called) if you are the only sibling or if you have A brother or sister in SA then it's ok. If there are more than half of your mom's siblings living in SA then she won't be able to go with you.I really hope I make sense.Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just B Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi,I don't think Aussie will slam there doors just yet. Adelaide with has a population of around 1,1 million have set a target to grow the population to 2 million by the year 2050. The Australian economy to on the rise and they require skill (particularly technical) to continue the grow. I think it's just a perception they a lot of people are leaving. I think there is a large percentage leaving Australia (for the UK, USA and returning home RSA).I had the same felling when I first started on the forum.Anyway Welcome to the forumRegardsK&B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikej Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hello GroentjieI dont think Australia will stop South Africans any time soon, bare in mind that we represent a small percentage of people immigrating to Australia. Most immigrants to Aus come from the UK, China, Malaysia, India and New Zealand.It is more likely that the SA government will stop proffesionals leaving here when the economy starts failing.So get out soon.Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
