Hi Wac and Jill,
If you're 45 already you might never qualify for PR. I think the
suggestion that you could get it in two years is highly misleading,
unless you've got highly developed individual skills justifying the
claim that you're truly exceptional, or you're going through the
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme. Ask the agents for an honest
appraisal of your circumstances in that respect.
Cheers,
George Lombard
