Acquiring Student Visa & looking for an employer sponsorship while Studying in Australia

Would like to seek your inputs on this:
-My husband & I wants to go in Australia, & the fastest option we are looking right now is to acquire for a Student Visa. My husband will take Masters for two years so I, his pouse, can work in full time while he can work too for 20hours/week. during this time, while he is studying, we will look for an employer that can sponsor our stay there & convert our visa from student to working visa or PR. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

    @december9, it's not that easy but YES, it's POSSIBLE.

    Hadn't been granted with skilled visa, I might have been using student visa route to acquire permanent residency status.

    Share ko lang din baka makatulong sa iba nating fellow Filipinos.

    May friend kami dito sa SA na nurse with tourist visa. Nagaral siya ng 3 months dito sa adelaide, then nakakuha ng employer sponsorship. Now she's working in a hospital. Try nyo din lalo na kung ang occupation nyo e nasa line ng medicine.

    Kung wala syang kamag anak sa adelaide. malamang nag-invest muna yan ng higit sa half million pesos ang nagastos.

    to become registered nurse here kailangan mag aral at mag take ng exam... Kaya malaking gastos at pakikipag sapalaran ang ginawa na nya. dipende rin kung anung year sya dumating sa Adelaide.

    cheers

    @Totoy ganun ba, nung Oct 2011 lang siya dumating. Walang kamaganak pero meron siya parang tita na. Ang narinig ko kasi kapag nurse grad ka na sa pinas, kukuha na lang ng tinatawag na bridging school ba yun for three months.

    @sohc Yes sir may option nga na ganun. Bridging Visa naman ata yung tawag dun i think for Nurses ata to na kalinagan mo muna mag aral sa Oz before you could practice your profession as a nurse there. Ito yata yung patok ngayon sa mga nurses ngayon if you want to enter Oz kaya lang mglalabas ka talaga ng malaking pera for this scheme.

    @december9, tulad po ng sinabi ni k_mavs, kailangan niyo po ng bridging visa para makatransition from student to full time employee. Sa isang kaibigan ko, after student visa kumuha siya ng graduate visa pero hindi pa yun PR kaya naghahanap pa siya ng isa pang visa class.

    Your plan is doable but be very careful lang po. Kasi technically, as a bearer of this visa, you are not supposed to seek full time employment at all during your tenure as a student.

    Kung manood po kayo nung "Border Security", automatic cancellation ng visa kasi ang penalty pag nahuli kayo ng immigration tapos hindi kayo puwede bumalik ng Australia ng 3 taon. So ingat ingat lang po :)

    Sa mga may experience sa ganun, post po kayo hehe

    @sohc ako rin walang kamag-anak sa Adelaide. I am planning to go there early next year for bridging course for nurses.

    Would be availing the services of a consultancy firm to facilitate my bridging course in WIlliam Light Institute.

    Is it okay if you share the facebook account of your friend? Ask ko lang sana siya tungkol sa naging experience niya diyan sa Adelaide as a bridging course student.

    Thanks.

    Ask ko lang po kung lahat ba ng nurses na nagpapa assess sa ANMC eh nirerequire na ba ng bridging program? o meron din po ba na hindi na kung ok lahat qualifications including IELTS?
