Can I get a work visa for a cosmetologist to work in Australia

Can I get a work visa for a cosmetologist to work in Australia?
I'm thinking of moving from NC to Australia for 6-12 months. I'm a licensed cosmetologist in NC only for 1 year and was wondering what I would have to do to work as a hair stylist in Australia for my stay. I may want to live their permanently in the future if I like it. Does anyone know how I would go about doing that? Thanks!

Your profession has now been removed from the list of migration professions, so unless you are eligible for a 1 year working holiday visa, you will not be able to work in Australia. At the end of this visa, you will have to return home as a perm visa is no longer possible for your profession.

If you're aged between 18 and 30 and are a high school graduate, you will be eligible for a 12 month Work and Holiday visa. You can do any kind of work but can only work for each employer for up to 6 months. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462/usa/ Work and Holiday visa for US citizens. If you're a good hair stylist, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding temporary work in any state except Western Australia - you must be registered there to work as a hairdresser. If you want to stay in Australia, hairdressing is still eligible for employer sponsored visas so if you can find an employer who is willing to sponsor you for a temporary work visa, that will be your route to an eventual permanent employer sponsored visa. You would have to start on a subclass 457 temporary visa because your W&HV isn't an eligible visa to lead directly to permanent employer sponsorship. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/visa-options.htm

If it is just a regular electric guitar with a normal 1/4 inch jack, yes it will work in any amp anywhere in the world.

How difficult is it to work in Australia

How difficult is it to work in Australia?
I currently have dual citizenship with Canada and the UK, I'm attending college in Canada. My dream is to live in Australia. How difficult would it be for me to obtain a work visa? How difficult is it to find work there? How long would it take to eventually immigrate?

You could get a Working holiday visa which allows you to stay and work for a year - but to migrate it is extremely hard. The government makes a list of the areas of need (Where there are not enough Australians working in) every couple of months - these careers are the ones you can migrate with but you have to have the qualifications and experience. At the same time the government puts in place encouragement programs to get more Australians trained in that area - when they graduate that career is then removed from the list. So realistically - if you see a career on the list that you are interested in but not trained in - by the same you get qualified and have the 2 years experience needed it will no longer be on the list. Remember migration is in place to help the COUNTRY not the wants and desires for other countries citizens. Harsh but that is life.

Hello. It is ok here. There is work if you want to get out and look. Some people find work hard but also you have to try and get work. I dont know anyone who has had a problem with getting work who want it. We went through a bad time before Christmas like everywhere but it is picking up really well. Hope this helps. :)

To immigrate into Australia you will need formal recognised qualifications plus at least two years verifiable experience in a skill that Australia wants and needs at the time. This is the SOL - Skilled Occupations List. This in itself is no guarantee of acceptance. The entire migration process would normally take between 18 and 30 months. Your Canadian & UK citizenships would have no bearing on the matter. As a college graduate you would not have the experience needed to fulfill that part of the requirements. What you would probably be best off doing is getting a "young persons working holiday" visa. These are valid for 12 months (extendable in certain circumstances) and allow "young persons" between the ages of 18 & 30 to come to Australia for an extended holiday and finance it whilst over here by short-term (6 month max any one employer) working. This gives you the chance to see if real living & working in Australia bears any resemblance to the TV shows that you have been watching, prior to embarking on the full-scale migration process. For all of the answers to all of your questions regarding immigration, visas, skill & assessments, Australia in general etc, follow this link to the very informative government site: http://www.immi.gov.au

You cannot work more than 20 hours per week* when your course is in session (other than work which has been registered as a part of the course). Note: No work limits apply during recognised periods of vacation offered by your education provider. You cannot undertake work until you have commenced your course in Australia. *A week begins on a Monday and ends on the following Sunday. Got it straight off the website ^^

20 hours.
