LokiJr

sir batman buti nga kayo accountant, nasa Skills Occupation List ang trabaho ninyo di tulad ng sa akin pahirapan hehe.

Ang gawin po ninyo mag-apply kayo ng 175 General Skilled Migration Visa...magpapasa kayo online ng mga requirements at kung palarin mabibigyan kayo ng visa....Pag andun na kayo sa Australia puwede na kayo maghanap dun trabaho

Check niyo po yung ibang threads sa forum, may specific thread para sa 175 visa

Hi good day to all.... Ask ko lang ung site na SEEK. Nag chek kasi ako, Lahat ng job as cook/chef na n chek ko ang nakalagay is YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND WORK IN THIS LOCATION TO APPLY FOR THIS JOB. Diba this means na dapat nasa Australia ka na and immigrant na? Hindi ba sila talaga nag hihire ng nasa Phils. pa? Im a newbie here and planning to work abroad and one of my choice is Australia kung papalarin. Pls help.... Im a graduate of Masscomm. and worked for toyota for 4yrs as Marketing professional and studied culinary arts and planning to work as a cook/chef as a new career. I hope somebody can give me tips and suggestions and It will be a great help... Thank you in advance.

LokiJr

@sotrue88, may mga opportunities diyan na direct maghhire ang employer...kailangan lang matiyaga ka maghanap...otherwise, mas mainam nga pong makakuha muna kayo ng visa

Ask ko lng po sa mga migrant civil engineers thru GSM jan sa OZ, malaki po ba ang chance na mkahanap ng work pag nandyan na? Is there a specific state na malaki ang chance na makahanap ng ganitong work?

I'm 33 yrs old and working here in SG for 5 years with a total of 8 years work experience in my profession (construction site). Nababasa ko lng kasi sa mga ads na more on civil works ang hiring nila for civil engineers. In my case, nalilinya kasi ako s building construction. Sana may makapagbigay sakin ng idea with regards s field ko when it comes to job hunting once nandyan na s OZ.

Maraming salamat po.

it depend on your

yeah for permanent resident at citizen talaga yan. nagkakataon kumukuha sila ng overseas skilled worker kapag walang match sa local na hinahanap nila na qualified o walang qualified at nagtakataon na may qulaified na galing sa ibang bansa yun minsan ang kinukuha nila lalo na kapag kailangan nila agad ng worker. usually ang nakukuha dyan mga minimum of 5 years work experience at the same skilled na hinahanap nila. Ako direct hire at almost 10 years working experience in the philippines bago ako naka punta dito. Nagkataon kasi nung 2008 wala masyadong qualified sa mga nag apply kaya they decide to look for overseas. Nakita yung resume ko naka post sa job site at tinwagan nila ako agad tinanung ako kung ako mapipilikung gusto ko daw ba pumunta ng australia sabi ko "yes". then mga ilan buwan bago nila ako ulit tinawagan at napili daw ako at inaasikaso na daw ang 457 visa ko. haggang sa tuluy tuloy na...then ngayun Permenent resident na ako dito after 3 years been here.

kaya mahirap at tyempuhan na ngayun ang pagkuha sa iyo ng Australian employer. kailangan may ilan years of work experience at dapat match ang qualification ang hinahanap nila. kung match ang qualification mo gawa ka ng cover letter na your looking for sponsor to apply for 457 working visa so that they will know kahit wala kang rights mag apply at nakita naman na qualified ka baka magisip sila na sponsoran ka. cheers

wow galing ni totoy!

TotoyOZresident

thanks... much appreciated

gemini23

Thanks for the info....but there's a possibility that the visa will not be granted if the applicant doesn't meet the standard requirement kahit nakapagbayad na po?

LokiJr

Unfortunately, opo...hindi porket nagbayad ka pasado na ang visa application

dhyzer

Hi peeps, newbie ako dito..hingi sana ako advice..ok na yung skills assessment ko, got state sponsorship from WA for Subclass 475 visa..kaka lodge in lang ng visa ko..so waiting for the release nlng..wala ko kakilala sa WA pero sabi ng immigration agent ko dito sa SG discreetly na pwde naman ako mag live and work sa other regional areas eventhough Regional WA nagbigay sakin ng state sponsorship..i guess di naman sya nagsinungaling since may nakausap din ako before na client nya na pinoy na parang ganun ginawa..Gusto ko sana tlga Melbourne kaso di pwde..sa Geelong naman wala masyado trabaho Civil engineer..Ok ba sa Adelaide? Hope to be in OZ before the end of the year..thanks in advance sa mga feedbacks nyo..

LokiJr

Hi sir, may employer na po bang magssponsor sa inyo? Kung state sponsorship kasi two years (?) kayo dapat magwork and stay dun...WA isn't so bad

sheep

h there..ask klang po...daming work sa australia especially mining,,di ba delikado kasi nababasa mo minsan sa china maraming namamatay sa mining kasi mayrong natabunan at kung anop ano pa...dyan ba sa autralia kailangan ba na puypunta ksa ilalim..for underground mining..?

LokiJr

Di po maiiwasan yung mga ganung aksidente...pero di hamak mas strikto at pulido ang trabahong minero sa Australia kaysa sa China. Mahigpit ang safety requirements dun at kung may mangyari man sagot ka naman ng Medicare.

Yung projects sa Australia may open-pit, surface at underground...iba iba yan

Bro, may nabasa ako sa britishexpats. South Australia sponsored sya under 475 visa, pero lumipat sya sa Victoria (regional area) after 6 months. At dun na nya tinapos ang 2-yr commitment. Pero bago sya pumunta ng Victoria, nagpaalam sya sa state government ng South Australia. Dun nya nalamang MORAL commitment lang pala ang pinirmahan nya sa South Australia at hindi LEGAL commitment. So ang state sponsorship pala ay isang MORAL commitment lang at hindi LEGAL commitment. Therefore, kung gusto mong lumipat ng other state (as long as regional yun), magpaalam ka lang sa sponsorsing state mo at papayagan ka naman daw nila. Hope this helps. Cheers.

LokiJr

Moral commitment...ang ganda ng term...parang..sige lumipat ka, konsensiya mo na bahala sayo hehe

i think there's no problem on that Actually may consideration naman ang australian government ang importante honest ka sa immigration. importante nag enquire ka sa kanila at you inform them na plan mo lumipat ng ibang state. sasabihin naman nila kung hindi talaga puede eh. at least legal pa rin ang pagproseso sa pag lipat nyo ng ibang state. kaysa yung iba takot kaya di na sinasabi. mayrun nga dito nalaman ng immigration canceled na yung visa nya pero binigyan pa rin ng immigration ng chance na maghanap ng work. gumawa sya ng formal letter to immigration. Kung sa ibang bansa yan baka kulong at kaagad deported na yun. malalaman naman yan eh sa police records kung lumipat kayo ng ibang state....cheers

@engr_alds I was granted regional sponsored visa by QLD subclass 475 too... as advised ng consultant namin pwede naman kahit saan state mag stay as long as nasa list ng regional postcodes.. kahit sa WA kayo sponsored pwede din kayo diretso sa Vic. at hindi naman kayo pwede sa Perth.. kami ng family ko sa Geelong mag iistay and unang landing namin is sa Melbourne..

Hi. newbie here and have just joined the site.
Lately after working here in SG for almost 4 years and 6 years in the Philippines, I plan to migrate in Australia hopefully. Have check Australian website and nakakapagbasa na rin about GSM 175 visa which I think the right visa and applicable for me. Industrial Engineering course but experience is QA engineer. Currently I have a friend there also advising me what are the reqt's needed.Question is do I need to have an agent or just process it online application na lang on australians gov website after completing all the reqt's?. Nabasa ko kasi after completing all your docs, can do it online and no need for agent.Another question is how long is the processing of aplication from start of lodge ng application. If ever start ka na lodge application, you need to pay na right?(correct me i am wrong). Is there a guarantee na papasa ka ba?How about the payment you have initially give pag di ka pumasa?.Looking forward po for all your replies.Thanks a lot=}

LokiJr

@iangrace, considering you have a friend already there and you have a library of reference thru this website, I am sure you can lodge your 175 visa on your own.

Yung panggastos mo sa agent, itabi mo na lang para may pera ka pagpunta mo Australia (first month's rent, food, transpo etc)

Malaking pera ang kailangan bayaran pag magllodge ka na, (~Php150,000 I think)..one time fee yun at hindi guaranteed pasado ka na sa visa kaya siguraduhin mong kumpleto na lahat ng supporting documents mo bago ka magsubmit

Marami option para makapasok ng Australia: General Skilled 175, Temporary Residence, State Sponsored...or Employer Sponsored (which is ideal in any situation), basa basa ka muna ng pinaka babagay sayo

You can do it without agent. Just read EA and DIAC booklet #6 over and over again for you not to miss something. If you are aiming for visa 175 then, start reviewing IELTS to get band 7 across all test components. With 10 yrs experience, and below 39 yrs of age, you can apply for 475 (state sponsorship regional) if your IELTS band is only 6.

Try mo din maghanap ng state sponsorship. Mas mabilis ang processing nun compared sa 175.

Hi Everyone!

I am a newbie in this forum. I would just like ask if someone here knows a company in Australia that can sponsor a visa for me. I have been working in the Philippine Call Center Industry for more than 3 years (collectively) now.

Thank you,

Admin

hehehe other people were also looking for a company that can sponsor visa, but I'm afraid its hard to find one nowadays, not unless your profession is in demand in OZ like those in the mining industry.
