Immigrating to Australia is no small task. It can be quite an emotional and stressful time for anyone considering it. There are several types of immigration categories. The process of determining which one would be the best for you usually begins with understanding what is involved.

First, we will look at those types of immigration categories; that apply to people that have come to Australia by way of other countries such as the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and even Europe. Immigrants who make this type of migration are called Permanent Residents (PR) or Permanent Resettlers (PR). This classification means that these people cannot apply for Australian citizenship because they have not become permanent or settled residents of the country. Instead, they are subject to the laws of their home country until a certain period of time has passed. Immigrants who have been awarded citizenship of another country are still considered to be Permanent Residents even though they have left that country.

Another type of IMMIGRATION category; is that of the refugee. Those who have been forced to flee their home country due to war, violence, or simply because they are no longer of service to their countries can be considered a refugee. If they have received some kind of refugee status in the United Nations, Red Cross, or similar bodies, then they may be eligible to apply for immigration. In the case of the world war ii, some survivors of the conflict are still considered to be refugees and may be granted immigration consideration. In most cases, a person must be a resident of a country for at least three years in order to be granted refugee status.

  • The next category of IMMIGRATION is that of the dependent spouse and family.
  • Dependent spouses and their family members who have become permanent residents in another country can apply for immigration into the country.
  • In general, those who have children that are over the age of 18 can become legal permanent residents of the country when they reach the age of 16. However, the children must be enrolled in school or college or serve in the military.
  • After they reach the age of majority, their status will change to that of a dependent spouse and the remainder of their family will have to follow the same procedure as dependent spouses.

There are also several other types of IMMIGRATION; These include B Anniversary or “riage” visa, deportation, Purity Certificate for tourists, citizens of certain states while working there, certain professions (lawyer, doctor, etc), spouse or partner visa, and marriage certificate. However, the most common IMMIGRATION category is BANNED status. Those who are banned from immigration because of their race, religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group are considered Banned immigrants.

Before you begin to apply for IMMIGRATION; it is important to understand all the requirements needed. If you are unable to obtain approval right away for IMMIGRATION, there are a few options available. The first option is to work with a private company that specializes in Immigration services. This will allow you to have a one-on-one interview with an Immigration attorney so you can understand all of your options and obtain IMMIGRATION legally. Immigrants must also be prepared to face their initial challenges faced while immigrating.
