How can I start my life in AUSTRALIA?

Mr.Tan’s questions might be your question too...

Dear Global Migration Solutions:

Thank you for your professional and informative consultation last Saturday. My

spouse and I are in great favor about the Australian PR application, but this is a

very big leap that we are taking in our lives and is no easy decision. We both are

working adults earning an average income, we would greatly appreciate if you

could help us overcome our fear to make the first step towards towards our PR

application?

Thanks and love,

Tan Lxxx Hxx

Some migrants feel settled quite quickly, perhaps within six to 12 months. For others it may take some years. How quickly you settle into your new environment may depend on a range of factors, such as your English ability and your level of health, and whether you came as a skilled or family migrant or as a refugee. If you have visited Australia in the past and you are familiar with this country and society or if you join the work force quickly, you may settle quite quickly.

Most of you will need some help to settle successfully. As soon as you arrive, you will need somewhere to live, money to live on and information on services available to help you get started, such as schools, transport and health services. Shortly after you arrive, you will also need access to employment and education. You may also need access to English language classes and help to form individual and family social networks.
