Working part time is a great way to get some extra cash to support yourself while studying overseas. It may lessen financial stress on your family back home and allow you to feel more at home in your host country. Getting your first job can be a scary process regardless of circumstance. Add being in a foreign country and the job search may seem even more complicated. Don’t worry, follow these five steps and you should be able to find a job in no time! 1. Consider Your Visa Before you start to think about applying for a job make sure that your visa permits you to work in Australia. Most Australian Student Visas allow you to work for up to 40 hours per fortnight. If your visa allows you to work while in Australia it is most likely on the condition that your course has commenced. During course breaks an Australian Student working Visa allows you to work for unlimited hours. This means that over the almost four month long summer holidays you could be earning a enough money...

Having just arrived in Australia as an international student can be daunting enough. Finding a job is even harder. At least I found it really hard. I didn't know where to start. I had no idea how to apply. And I was worried that my English wasn't good enough. Here are the 9 things I learned. # 1  Start at Home Not all but most jobs in Australia require previous experience. But how do you get experience? Start at home before you leave. At home you speak the language. You know your way around. You are part of the culture. I did this. I worked as a piano teacher in Korea before coming to Australia. Being able to say that I already had experience made it so much easier. # 2  Get Real Look for jobs that suit your skills and personality and you might enjoy. I first made this mistake. I looked for jobs in cafes, restaurants and shops. But my passion is music. I didn't realise that I could just follow my passion. So I spent a long time applying for jobs I was...

The recent massive decrease in Temporary Foreign Worker applications by 74% says many different things about the government’s reforms to the TFW program. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) believes that the drop signifies success in these reforms – a triumphant demonstration that Canadians are the government’s priority in the Canadian workforce. However, other professional opinion argue that these reforms contradict the protection provided by the government to employers and their investment in foreign workers, and will result in long-term issues recruiting future Canadians. Regardless of such opinions, the reforms have already been implemented and immigration to Canada through the TFW program is on a decline. However, immigration is a major contributor to Canada’s culture and economy. Immigration boosts Canada’s economy by stimulating productivity and innovation, as well as increasing trade relations. Newcomers also increase Canada’s cultural diversity and understand rapi...

Are you rather keen to move to Saskatchewan , the well-known Canadian province, via the popular programme, under the Express Entry route? Here, one is referring to the highly popular and the widely used--well, you guessed it right—the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Programme (SINP). If yes, here’s news update especially for you! The province has duly brought up-to- date its intake thresholds for application, for the SINP, allegedly to reveal the truth that the SINP International Skilled Workers - Express Entry Sub-class has touched its cap/limit of 500 fresh petitions. Earlier, it had been reported that the SINP had opened, once again, all classes with full quotas for every specific class and sub-class. Significantly, the Express Entry sub-class is the second sub-class to hit cap since that primary update was made even as the well recognized International Skilled Workers-Occupations In-Demand sub-class hit its cap/limit of 500 fresh petitions inside just a few hours. The w...

The single most commonly asked question in our consultations with first time clients is whether there is any benefit to lodging their visa through a Registered Migration Agent rather than lodging it themselves. Now I’ll be honest here. The fact that you are reading this on a migration agency’s website may make you think that humble ol’ me has a vested interest in telling you how scary the world of migration law is and how you should only trust your application in the hands on a qualified registered migration agent. The truth is however that under most circumstances, that is not far from the truth. It is important to note, that a registered migration agent cannot and should never guarantee the success of your application. What they can do however is to give you well-informed and extremely focused advice that makes the visa application simpler to understand and easier to lodge. A registered migration agent – before they are licenced to practice – spend almost a year of their l...
