Have anyone tried to apply migration to Australia? Anyone know of the license agent in KL and the charging rate?thanks

there are many migration agents around..
flip thru d newspaper, ady got a lot of ads...
charges will depend on wat's ur situation.. if straight forward case, then it's cheaper.. oso depends on whether it's skills migration, business migration..etc...

total cost for PR application plus migration lawyer fees is around RM10000 to RM15000, depending on AUD/MYR currency exchange rate.

is your job in the demand list?

Thanks. So the agency mostly is located in KL. Wow the agency fees quite high hai.

do it yourself. just read up on it. it isnt that hard. u might have to make a couple of international phone calls though..

not as easy as you think it is. the amount of paper work and documents required. it's worth paying for the services, the lawyers will keep track, follow up and make sure your application goes through as long as you are qualified (based on the points system).

shawnnny,

Actually it is not that difficult to do it yourself. I have migrated to Melbourne since Mar last year and I applied on my own. Many of us here also did it ourselves. You just have to do some research on www.immi.gov.au and you can get lots of info from the globalmalaysians forum at www.globalmalaysians.com/forum.

texcedo,
What industry are you in? Currently Australia is controlling the number of visa applications. If you are not state/employer sponsored and your skill is not in the critical list, it might takes you quite a while to get it.

my elder bro is a pr there, what options do i hv to migrate. i've seen lots of family migrated to aus, but works in restaurants. and those restaurants aren't theirs.

First and foremost I'm not really sure if this is the place to ask and my apology if I have posted this in the wrong section.

I'm migrating to Australia next year and everything seemed settled except for moving stuffs there. Any idea of fowarding agents in Malaysia (or even better Sabah) that provide cargo service for such? I have been looking up and down for months and still going no where. Thanks.

My family used the service of a forwarding agent in Puchong (Selangor) when they migrated to NZ few years ago. I can't remember the cost already though but it was via ship and took around a month to reach so we send it around 1 month earlier and it reach just in time for them to move in and settle down.

Anyway, let me know if you want their contact, don't know if it'll be any help to you since it's in Selangor and not Sabah.

Hi do u mind pm me their contact number and how much they cost? Thanks

Please give me their contacts, I'll ask from there

So nice!! I want to migrate also ...

Honest question, why are you looking to migrate?

I just love to live overseas ..

Go for homestay or working holiday then. It's not easy living overseas unless you plan to retire there, or plan to study there and continue to work there, if you can find a job that is.

Grass isn't always greener on the other side.

If you have never personally been to a place, do not assume you will like it.

Well, it depends on individuals...

I get along with people quite easily; and I like to immerse into a foreign cultures. I've lived in 3 different countries other than Malaysia, ranging from months to years, and I like them all (they are all advanced countries of course)..!! And I've no doubt that I'll like Australia more than 1Malaysia.

When I moved from KL to SG, the company engaged Crown Relocations to move my sh*t. They came to my house, wrapped and packed everything, shipped (by van lol) to SG, 30 days temporary storage in SG while I sorted out where to stay, then unpack everything in my SG place also.

No idea the cost cos company pay.

I have FREE storage for your RETRO items :-)
