@syaoran Hi, maybe they’re coming up with something that will be implemented next year that’s why they are delaying the assessment or they may be introducing changes that’s why they are not assessing applications yet.

@jessa0601 bridging program is enough. usually mga education agent, ineendorse nila yung mga school like for certificate or diploma courses muna bago mag bridging kasi may nakukuha cla mga commision from that. and its faster na mkaalis and fly to aus. compared s bridging n mg aaply and mag aantay kpa ng AHPRA tas visa. pero it would boil down to your preference and financial status. weigh pros and cons

@juantamad Kung magstudent visa ka bakit hindi mo na lang siya isama sa application mo as your dependent? Kung ang tinatanong mo eh kung maaapektuhan yung PR application niyo dahil magTourist Visa siya, siyempre hindi. Separate namang application yun. Ang GTE ay requirement ng student visa at hindi ng PR application.

@juantamad Hehe Kapag Tourist Visa siya, hindi siya allowed magwork, pag nakadependent visa siya, allowed siya mag20hrs a week na work so matutulungan ka niya with your living expenses. Anyway, all the best sa application niyo.

Hello po! Question lang po, nagaantay po kasi ako ng LOE, bale nareceive po ang docs ko ng AHPRA Aug 14, then nagfeedback sila ng Sept 6 informing that they need further documentation. Naprovide ko naman po lahat, tapos nagfollow up po ako sa registration officer ko nung Oct 4. Last friday lang po, oct 13, ang nagreply sakin ibang registration officer na po at sabi nya still being assessed for suitability pa daw po ang application ko. Nagworry lang po ako, may ganung case po ba na nagiiba ang RO?

Hello po! Ask ko lang po kung advisable ba na lakarin ko na po yung docs (CHED and UNI DOCS) before ako mag-exam ng PTE? Usually po pag natanggap na po nila sa AHPRA yung first 2 docs from CHED and university(which is sila ang magpapadala) gaano po katagal bago nila(AHPRA) iacknowledge na natanggap na nila and for completion of further requirements pa po? Balak ko po kasi lakarin, then to follow nalang po yung sa english exam. Any advice po? TIA! God bless!

Hi @syousoonOZ you don’t need po to go to ched, yung sa school lang, tapos yung school dapat magpapadala sa ahpra, yung sakin kasi nagrequest ako sa university ko, then ako nagpadala pero naka address sa school at envelope dapat ng school.

@mrsespejo Ay opo. Naclarify ko na po sa kabatch ko na nagbridging, may clinaim lang po pala siya from CHED pero siya rin po pala nagdpadala. Accreditation status po kasi hiningi din sa kabatch ko na kukunin from CHED.
