How'd you get approved for that? I thought Australia was very locked down for immigration
I didn't get approved for anything yet but getting a 417 visa shouldn't be that hard AFAIK and from there you just have to get lucky and be sponsored for a 482 visa by an employer, after that you can get permanent residency on the 186 visa, after 2 years with the same employer. Aaand from there it's just another year until you can apply for citizenship.
Pretty straightforward, albeit a bit tedious...
30% of the population of Australia was born outside Australia.
Immigration is straightforward (although maybe expensive) if you can get one of the skilled migration visas.
