sorry pero wala talaga.. kasi yung nominated occupation is PT so hindi credited ang years of experience mo as pharmacist. mas maganda sana 3-5 years na experience as PT. first step talaga is either mag-IELTS ka or unahin ang VETASSES kasi assessment will take sometime 2-3 months. IELTS naman sana mag-aim ka ng higher score like 7 or 8 kasi may points yun although 6 passing ng PT pero zero points yun. now is the time to gather docs and do these steps para pag nag-open na sila sa july (SNOL) perfect to lodge at Skill select. hope na makatulong. cheers!

Hi po! @merickboy @G_australia so nirerecommend nio po na may 3-5 experience as PT prior to applying for VETASSESS? Pharmacist po ako dito sa atin. Naisip ko nga po na mag work as PT muna bago ko maglodge ng application though nagpaassess ako sa isang migration agent. Ang worry ko lang baka after ko mag experience ng 3 years iba na ang requirements ng SA sa PT? sorry po newbie lang po ako sa ganito. Thank you po! God bless!

I am not saying na dapat 3-5, just a standard lang kasi you are claiming points kasi. minimum kasi is 3 years as you can read in the page 23 ng link na to --- > http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1119.pdf if 3 years you will get a minimum of 5 points sa experience, so zero pag wala. and dapat mo makuha ay atleast 60pts para mainvite ka to apply for visa. so i guess kung kulang ka sa exp is you can get more points sa IELTS score mo, age at ung qualifications. basahin mo ung links kanina. you can apply also as pharmacist meron din sila pero i dont know if open ang pharmacist iba din assessing authority APC yata sa kanila. vetasssess is for technician occupations lang. since kukuha ka ng agent they can explain it to you further. cheers!

@merickboy bro madami pala kayong Pharmacy Technician dito sa forum!

musta naman pagtapos ng grant.. kelan plan nyong big move?

merickboy

boss @wizardofOz eto sobrang busy lately. nagpassed kasi ako sa company ng resignation last week pero naging magulo. initially 2 months notice lang pinasa ko kahit our company requires us to serve 3 months. willing ako magbayad, then the next day nagchange plan kami ng partner ko we decided to na magserve ako ng 3 months para di ko na bayaran ung 1 month then magsabay na lang kami punta Oz next year feb or march. Ang dilemma lang namin is where to stay kasi ung relatives ng partner na citizen na dun inoffer yung house nila so free accommodation yun and all, pero they are from NSW at probinsya tlga, eh ang visa 190 namin is sa SA. ang plan tlga namin is SA sabi ko na lang sa partner ko is stay na lang kmi ng 3 months dun pero sa SA ko pa din gusto tlga magstart ng new life. si boss @rareking ang nagbigay sa akin ng inputs about SA. kaw boss kelan na? musta?

merickboy

@daetabinas kelan kayo naglodge? I waited for 4 months actually pero buti direct grant. Kita kits tayo down under! lets help each other! cheers!

daetabinas

@merickboy naglodge kme last month lang..pro we r going for our medical today ska un NBI s pinas pnapaayos n rin nmin..wait p kme ng go signal ng agent nmin to finish nman un police clearance dto s sg. btw, nag agent ba kyo??

merickboy

@daetabinas yes, nag-agent kami. pero mas helpful pa din ang forum na to for me, kasi lahat ng questions ko at updates dito ko nakukuha, yung agent namin parang after 1-2 days lagi magreply. nagfront upload kami ng NBI thru Ms Sandra nalaman ko lang yun dito sa forum kaya nakakuha kami agad, hassle free, bait pa nya. tapos yung SG police clearance naman kaht wala pa kami CO nakakuha na kami, pumunta lang kami sa HQ tapos nagrequest. 3 weeeks waiting time. nung nakuha namin lahat at front uploaded na waiting na lang kay CO tpos nung lagpas na ako 3 months kinulit ko pa yung agent ko na nagcompare ako nga mga naapprove na applicants here compare sa actions nila. nagagalit sya kasi wag ko daw pangunahan ang CO kung wala pa hinihingi, in the end kung di ko pa pla kinulit hindi kami maapprove kasi nagfollow up sya sa DIBP tapos the following days approved na. so it means pwede pala ang front upload.

wizardofOz

@merickboy wow ang haba ng required notice ng company nyo pala.. pero oks na rin para may income then todo ipon muna for 3 months.. oo nga sayang pala yung accomodation sa relatives nyo sa NSW, kaso SA pala ang sponsor nyo.. anyway baka destiny talaga na sa SA kayo, baka magkakuha na rin kayo ng work agad ni misis.

Yun sakin, bale ika 1st month nung Nov12 since nag-lodged ako, so hintay-hintay muna, hopefully in the coming days or weeks magka-CO na rin... or Direct Grant na tulad mo hehe

merickboy

@daetabinas yes, nag-agent kami. pero super bagal sumagot, mas helpful at pinagkakatiwalaan ko pa tong forum with regards sa mga updates at requirements, nauuna pa ko malaman ang sagot dito bago pa sila magreply parang after 1-2days lagi. san medical nyo? sa amin medical lang hinintay namin from our agent, then NBI sariling lakad namin thru Ms Sandra ang galing ang blis lang. mababasa mo ung about kay Ms. Sandra ng NBI para less hassle sa inyo search mo na lang. Then yung SG police clearance, ginawa nanamin kahit wala pa kami CO ang tagal kasi ng antayan ng CO tpos yung pagkuha ng SG police clearance 2-3weeks pa sa dami kmuha, pero pwede naman pla kaht walang letter ni CO pde kumuha. so in short ngfront upload kami like anyone here in the forum na nagfront upload at wala naman tlga naging problem kaht ung agent namin is opposed sa pagffront upload.

@merickboy - if you dont mind bro sino ang agent nyo?via agent din kc kme ng aims..tama ba ako sg based ka rin?

Psensya n po newbie lng tlga..un nbi nmin nkuha na but wait p nmin un relatives nmin s pinas na iscan pra iemail ko s agent.tpos dalhin n lng nila physically dto s december..

So pde po pla mag apply ng sg police clearance without the letter frm CO?kc accdg s aims we have to wait for te CO muna then we can apply for the sg police clearance.we just finished din un medicals nmin last last wk so wait n lng tlga ng CO ska sg police clearance the by God's grace ma approve n rin un pr ng family nmin
