...have an Oz girlfriend? Hi,

I am currently in Australia on a working holiday visa which I plan to extend for an extra year.

I want to know if it's possible to undertake an apprenticeship as an electrician thus earning me a qualification and keeping me in Australia for the near future?

I have an Australian girlfriend and wanted also to know how long it takes to process an application for a de-facto partner visa.
Has anyone done this? It says something about 2 years to process on the website but that would mean if I applied today then i'd have to go back home before it was issued- Is this correct???

In essence I am asking 2 questions. . . .

Any info would be hugely appreciated.

Regards
 
check with the apprentice board to see what the requirements are, i'm guessing that you have to be a citizen or landed immigrant to qualify.
