Hey all,

Going through the process of recruitment for Epic. While doing research on the company, one thing that excited me was the international presence.

It’s my dream to move to Australia at some point (Have been there before), and after doing many hours of research on visas, immigration, internal transfer experiences, and more on online forums and groups, and after considering my major and what is considered in-demand in Australia… The most realistic way to move over there is a career change into medicine, construction, trades, or social work. That, or an internal transfer from within a company.

So working with a company that has a large presence in both the US and Aus (And a track record for international mobility) would be huge for me.

Would it be feasible to get an internal transfer to Australia from within Epic? What roles are most suited for international transfers, how long would I have to be in the role to be considered, and how should I approach this topic while recruiting?

Thanks!

US student graduating in applied stats within a year. Have three citizenships (US, Canada, and an EU nation).

Have read 20+ threads on here in regards to Australia and surveying, trying to get an idea of how to ultimately break into surveying over there. Obviously, I would focus on employment here first to build up work experience. But trying to see potential avenues for jumping ship to Aus in the future, so I can keep that in mind while I plan.

I've read of needing equivalent education to a 4 year surveying degree from an Australian Uni: am I up shit's creek without a paddle if I don't go back to uni?

Are Australian surveying firms actually willing to sponsor overseas surveyors, and what candidates are competitive?

In case I would have to go back to school, has anyone here had a U.S. surveying/geomatics degree assessed as equivalent to an Australian four-year surveying degree?

Which sectors have the greatest shortage: cadastral, construction, engineering, mining, infrastructure, hydrographic, etc.?

Thanks for any advice!

Graduating from uni soon in the US and realizing the major I picked has a low chance of ever qualifying me for a visa in AUS (Statistics). Apparently the only other option is re-skilling or getting hired on by a multinational known for allowing transfers? Loved my major and applying principles of statistics to solve problems.

Currently interviewing with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, in no small part due to the supposed internal transfer optionality at financial firms. But would like more advice about where else to apply, and what entry-level to target within these firms. Or whether I should try a large multinational tech company, mining company, insurance company, healthcare company etc instead.

I am aware of Australia’s WHV, but I am not particularly interested because it seems to be intended for low-skilled labor that has a low chance of leading to sponsorship or permanent residency. Already done the dead end job and backpacking thing, I’ve been to over 50 countries in my early 20s. But correct me if I’m wrong.

Also a US, Canadian, and EU citizen if that changes the visa situation at all. Have spent time in both AUS and NZ.

US Undergrad with a stats and data background applying for analyst roles in multiple industries. Have 3 citizenships (US, Canada, and an EU nation). Lockheed Martin recruits heavily at my campus.

It’s been my dream to live in Australia for years. My relative also moved to Australia with her Australian husband, and the pull is even stronger for me now. Unfortunately, visas for jobs related to statistics, data, or tech are rare to come by, as compared to medicine, construction, trades, etc. i am well aware from my friendships with international students and immigrants that visas are no small matter.

I have read from some scattered reddit and forum posts that large multinational firms can give you an internal transfer and thus a more feasible way to immigrate. A quick search says that Lockheed has around 2000 Australian employees.

Is this an opportunity I can expect at LM in my early-career or at all, or is it a pipe dream? Would other defense companies offer a similar opportunity, or no? I know that defense can be a sensitive industry, so I don't know if this is feasible at all.

Thank you!

I have read from some scattered reddit and forum posts that these large consulting firms are a more feasible way to get an internal transfer and thus a more feasible way to immigrate.

Is this an opportunity I can expect in the consulting industry in my early-career or at all, or is it a pipe dream? Obviously taking into account the competitive nature of these big firms, are there other companies I could target in the case I don’t get in to one of these? Should I direct my efforts towards another niche altogether?

Thank you!

Say if you had all of these citizenships. From what I am aware of, they all have generational limits of passing on their citizenships that are conditional to requirements like place of birth and time spent in them.

How many would it be feasible to maintain? For example, my children will certainly be US citizens due to the time we have spent here.

They will not necessarily be Canadian, unless I satisfy 1 of these 3 requirements:

• Spend 3 years cumulatively in Canada before their birth
• Have them born in Canada
• Bring them to Canada and naturalize them(Generally takes around a year of residence)

Now what if I went and naturalized in Australia? If my kids were born there and spent time there, they would likely meet the requirements for their future kids to be Australian. But then, to pass on Canadian citizenship, they would also have to have a substantial connection to Canada.

Now imagine adding the UK into the mix.

And eventually this would get unfeasible save for those that deliberately move themselves across the planet to maintain citizenships. Trying to imagine a gameplan that would allow you to maximize citizenship inheritance and minimize effort. Citizenship minmaxxing so to speak.

Now obviously, this is conditional on laws not changing. In the case of my wife and I, both German and Luxembourgish citizenship can be passed on indefinitely provided you register your child’s birth in an allotted time period. Either country may get more strict in the future.

As a side question, what citizenships are very easy to maintain indefinitely throughout the generations? Apparently Mexico has theoretically infinite citizenship by descent since 2021 or so.

Hello,

I am looking for advice in what my next steps should be in finding birth records for my great-grandma.

Vada Lowell | FS ID : (MW3G-WT3)
Born on 10 July 1912, according to Familysearch.
https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/MW3G-WT3

Her, along with half of her siblings, are all said to have been born in South Dakota. The family had a presence in Hecla, SD and in Britton, SD at a later date.

South Dakota has a search function for birth records over 100 years old. According to this site, the records were mandatory and should exist.
https://apps.sd.gov/PH14Over100BirthRec/index.aspx
No luck in finding them, although I did find her youngest brother, Clifford Lowell, in 1918.

I found an Evangelical Lutheran Church of America baptismal record for her youngest brother Clifford Lowell on ancestry. Perhaps this is a hint that she may have a baptism record with that church.

And for anyone feeling super generous in wanting to help with genealogy, I also cannot find a birth record for her mother, although she was born in the 1870s, before official records were required.

Any advice or hep is much appreciated!

I have an application that is currently in process(AOR in June), based on a Canadian ancestor that was born in 1855 and left as a child in 1857.

My concern is that I have been unable to find any Canadian record directly documenting her birth. After months of searching for a baptism/birth record and her parents’ marriage record, the only Canadian record I’ve found is a census entry for her father. I documented my searches and correspondence with various archives in my application.

In lieu of a baptism and birth certificate, I included many US-sourced records(Marriage cert, death cert, and her child's birth certificate) that consistently identify her as Canadian-born. However, these are all US records.

I am aware that IRCC wants a Canadian document corroborating citizenship. But after submitting, I am worried that this line may be insufficient.

I have another possible line that appears much better documented. My British-born ancestors moved to Canada, married there, and appear in Canadian censuses. They later lived in the U.S. for several decades, where my next ancestor was born, before returning to Canada later in life, where they died. I have their Canadian marriage record, census records, and Canadian death records.

From what I understand, these British-born ancestors would have been Canadian and would have transmitted citizenship to their U.S.-born child. I wasn't aware of this at the time of submission, and assumed my Canadian-born ancestor would be a more solid anchor.

I’m hesitant to simply wait, since processing could take over a year, and if IRCC ultimately rejects the first line I could be starting the process over again with even longer processing times of years.

Should I consider uploading these new documents and a new letter covering my other family line to my IRCC application via the online portal?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello,

I have 3 lines of descent that are Canadian. Two were born in Canada pre-confederation that also left pre-confederation., For my current submitted application, I used one of these lines.

Because of the recent speculation regarding a potential 1867 cutoff(That I should stress, is not confirmed, and I do not mean to cause panic), I have returned to look at my other Canadian line.

My other line is a couple born in England, that moved to Canada around 1860. They had a few kids in the 1860s, before moving to the USA before 1870. They then had my G1 in the USA in the 1870s. In the 1910s they moved back to Canada for the last decade of their life, where they died in the 1920s.

I did some researching, and some threads mention that there is a legal pathway for G1s to be Canadians if G0 were British subjects that became Canadian. And supposedly, this applies even if G1 was an adult by the time G0 became Canadian. But does this apply if the G0 moved to Canada, then America, then back to Canada?

Thank you.
