Why should I talk about other migration services?
As I said before, my migration process is been care by the organization “VEA”. But as my wife and I have been going through this process, we have met other families or people with the same dream as we have.
A quick search gave us two options and a chat with a friend gave us another. I am not going to discuss live in Australia, mostly because is the same company as “Viva en Australia” which is Southern Cross Alliance.
The other option was Migration Expert, which is a online organization with some free services. Their main objective is to assist a large number of skilled and business professionals wishing to migrate to Australia, Canada or United Kingdom. Their services are notable less expensive than SCA services or AMES. But you must spend some time doing your forms, getting help with the document construction process and sending your papers to Australia.
Oceania Worldwide services, is a private company which help the emigrant to move to Australia or New Zealand with a very personal treatment. Isn't the largest, recognition or the one with more customers, but certainly is the one with the more loyal customers as I have seen in forums.
The last recommended service was AMES (Adult Multicultural Education Services), is one of the largest employment and settlement services which provide assistance to the emigrant with government contracts or insertion in the educational and laborer fields. The friend who told me about this service is not on its productive age and so, it is difficult to find sponsorship with the Australian government and some services... He started the migration process with AMES because they told him not to worry, they wanted to do the best to help him make his dream come true; meanwhile SCA told him they couldn't accept their case because of the age issue.
I am not going further with these topics because my information can’t relate experiences but at least gives you a idea of where to look (besides of Google :P)

The month of October, 2004 started and very strong candidates to migrate to were in the list.
- Canada.
Excellent place, need young productive people but very cold. Wasn’t a problem at all for me because I could find a place to have a growing career, but her career is a little difficult to develop and implement. Plus, none of us speak French and if we wanted to migrate to Canada, we had to start having a French course in order to get the visa. - Spain.
Not so excellent place, but is economical steady and in almost every sense I good for planning a family and a future. The country has history and culture but isn’t growing so much, not to mention some people denigrate Latin-Americans and doesn’t matter so much your formation, if you come from South America you probably learned how to get dressed yesterday and surely you don’t know how to behave or to think…to be part of the society drop every believing and behave/talk/walk/eat just as they do, otherwise you are the nasty foreign trying to steal their jobs… uf, Spain out of the list.. - Australia.
We knew very little about it. Researching was a must; find the must we could to know more about Australia. Soon, the nice weather similar to Venezuela in some cases, growing economy, excellent education, awesome security and plenty of work became an outstanding rival of Canada. The only con was the distance, so far of everything was something to get used to if Australia was meant for us.
With just two paths the only thing to do was pick one. Distance Vs Career and language limitation. A friend telling us tons of good things of Australia made the final touch. The next step was choosing the agency to help us with the paperwork and experience to obtain with success the residential visa. At this point, 2 years had pass, January 2007 was on and the contract was signed. The process will be handled with a agency named “Viva en Australia” (South Cross Alliance).
Doing some calculations, July 2008 is the deadline. 
Australia get ready because am going.
