    Hello Johnson and welcome to our community.

    Thank you for sharing your background, Johnson. There are opportunities for skilled workers like HVAC technicians to migrate to Australia, as this occupation is often in demand. Here’s a guide on how you can approach your visa application and sponsorship search:

    Pathways to Australia as an HVAC Technician:

    1. Check if Your Occupation is on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL):
      HVAC-related roles, such as Airconditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic (ANZSCO Code 342111), are currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This means you may qualify for skilled migration visas.

    2. Visa Options for Skilled Workers:

      • Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189): Does not require employer sponsorship or state nomination.
      • Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.
      • Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491): Requires state nomination or sponsorship by an eligible family member in a regional area.
      • Employer-Sponsored Visas (e.g., Subclass 482): If you secure a job offer, the employer can sponsor your visa.
    3. Obtain a Skills Assessment:
      Your skills must be assessed by the relevant authority, Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), to confirm they meet Australian standards.

    4. Meet English Language Requirements:
      Most visas require you to demonstrate English proficiency through tests such as IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL. More info here: https://gettingdownunder.com/ielts-score-australia/

    5. Find a Sponsor or Employer:
      To work in Australia under an employer-sponsored visa (e.g., Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482), you’ll need a job offer from an Australian employer.
