List of conditions for chefs to immigrate to Australia

Chef is now a high-paying profession in China, and it is even more popular abroad, which has also attracted the attention of some friends who fantasize about immigrating through chef courses. Let's look at the conditions for chefs to immigrate to Australia. Let's take a look together.

There are three main types of students who consult chef immigrants:

1. misled by outdated information from domestic intermediaries;

2. Being tricked into reading by an Australian intermediary with employer's guarantee as bait;

3. People with working holiday visas want to attend simple, fast and cheap immigration courses.

Without exception, these people were corrected in time and transferred to other courses. Let's talk specifically about why chefs can't do without ordinary skilled immigrants:

The core issue of skilled immigrants is job evaluation first, followed by immigration score. For example, if you don't study PY or have no work experience for one year after graduation, even if you graduate from IELTS with four nines, you won't be moved because you can't pass the ACS career assessment. For chefs and Australian students in all other technical occupations, if they want to emigrate, they must pass the employment preparation plan of TRA to get a comprehensive career evaluation.

Without real skills, it is impossible to pass the employment preparation plan. It is divided into four steps, step 1: before the student visa expires, get 360 hours (20 hours per week, 18 weeks) of paid work experience (study period), then apply for temporary skill assessment, and then apply for a 485 TR visa of 1.5 years.

Only this step 1 has declared the death penalty for the profession of chef. Why? Because Cook is not on the list of 189 and 485 at all. Therefore, even if you have a career pre-assessment, you are not eligible to apply for a 485 visa. Because there is no 485 visa, there is no visa to do steps 2 to 4.

Let me briefly introduce the contents of steps 2 to 4:

Step 2: TRA sends someone from Canberra to your workplace to check whether the working environment meets the requirements.

Step 3: After working for half a year, TRA sends two TAFE teachers to your workplace to assess whether your work level meets the requirements.

Step 4: Apply for full evaluation after working for one year.

As can be seen from the above, from the second step to the fourth step, you have to pass the on-site assessment and work for one year before you can get a complete career evaluation. Because the chef is not on the 485 list and can't apply for a 485 TR work visa, there is no way to do the second to fourth steps of TRA without a visa.

Some people say that although Cook is not on the list of 485 and 189, there are still chefs. Can't I go to the chef? The answer is: no.

Chef can also be called Chef in Chinese translation. In fact, Chef means chef (that is, the owner of the kitchen). The role of a chef is mainly management, and it is not the same level as a chef. Generally speaking, it takes many years to cook before you can be promoted to a chef. ANZSCO's definition of chef is as follows, obviously excluding chef:

Some people say, can't I discuss with the restaurant owner to make it 360 hours? The answer is: really not. If you haven't done a TRA career assessment, you have no idea of TRA's strictness. TRA can't believe that a student who came to Australia to study can actually achieve 360 hours of chef work experience before completing the course. I believe that you have worked as a chef for 360 hours, but it is very strange that an international student with almost no chef experience becomes the boss of the kitchen without even getting a degree. Judging from common sense alone, you can directly reject your application for step 1 career pre-assessment. What's more, there must be a telephone survey in step 1 of TRA career evaluation, so unreasonable work experience will be directly exposed by experienced investigators. English telephone survey can make many Chinese restaurant owners or managers who have poor English give up testifying for you directly. So, so far, I haven't seen any case where a chef has successfully obtained a pre-assessment of his career.

I can only think of an extreme method, and it is possible to migrate by skilled workers through chefs:

First, you have to have a spouse. You go to school together. You are a chef, and your spouse is a two-year undergraduate. And then you graduate together. Your spouse applied for a 485 PSW visa for two years, and as a deputy applicant, you also got a 485 PSW visa for two years. In this way, you will have a two-year visa to do this Cook Job Ready project and get a complete career evaluation (of course, you should be confident to pass the on-site evaluation of TAFE teacher).

That's not all. Because Cook is not on the list of 189, you have to apply for a state guarantee. When you first choose to be a chef, you may choose ACT or TAS or NT, three state governments that take care of local graduates, otherwise you may only apply for 489 in NSW.
