Question
Hi Mick,
I & my Husband are considering moving in to Australia. Currently both of us are settled in Dubai, UAE & are working here as Planning Engineers in Construction Firms.
What do you think are our chances of career options & attaining citizenship in Australia?
Thanks & Regards,
Dia.

Answer
Dia:
If you are not from a Commonwealth Country the chances of attaining citizenship in Australia are slim unless you have a lot of money and a critical skill.  The best chance is to obtain employment with a firm that is doing business in Australa.
