In this episode I speak to Marlene Prentice the owner of Migration Network Australia.
She shares the inspiring journey of a family determined to emigrate to Australia despite facing numerous challenges.
Their journey motivated her to leave her accounting career to become an immigration agent to help others.
One of the beautiful stories she shares is about a young mother who, lacking qualifications and work experience, embarked on a seven-year journey to secure a visa for her family. Through perseverance and dedication, she successfully navigated the visa process, ultimately achieving her dream of settling in Australia with her family.
She offers valuable advice for people who want to immigrate to Australia.
