@jcgagni @pilot_marker Kada bata ba tagisang form 47CH and 40CH? About police clearance hindi kami nag submit kasi sabi sa guide "Don't arrange the police certificate(s) until we ask for them."

Right now they also have Critical Skills Occupation system which is currently more diverse than the priority occupations of AU. That is, not only health care workers are being considered. > > > > > > I just got an offer from an Irish employer with luck and lots of effort of submitting (spamming? lol) CVs. My occupation (not health care related) is in the critical occupations list and I got my work permit approved with the sponsorship of an employer. I am currently in the visa process. > > > > > > I'm sharing this because I think Ireland is not well known as a consideration for immigration but they do have a system that encourages it. Critical Skills Work Permit is a path to permanent residency (not exactly but the equivalent) for only 2 years in Ireland plus 5 years for naturalisation. Irish passport will allow you to live in any EU member states. Although Ireland is a bit behind AU, NZ, and Canada government system. > > > > > > To know more about Ireland's Critical Occupations List: > > > https://dbei.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Workplace-and-Skills/Employment-Permits/Employment-Permit-Eligibility/Highly-Skilled-Eligible-Occupations-List/ > > > > > > > > > > Hi po, inquire lng po, does it need an employer to apply with this visa?

Thanks po

> @altuser41 said: > Same dilemma. Sa case namin, ang plan namin ay si Misis ang kukuha ng SV at pag pinalad, saka ako magsusubmit ng EOI (me as primary). Though meron na akong EOI ngayon, plan kong i-cancel kung ito ang susundin naming route para walang conflict sa GTE. Sana ay may makapagbigay ng payo ukol dito. Sana nga ay may iba nang may experience na ganito. Hindi ko kasi option na i-cancel yung EOI ko dahil malapit na akong mainvite kapag bumalik sa dati yung bilang ng invites.

Thanks for sharing. [Tutoring cranbourne](https://www.tutoringcentre.net "Tutoring cranbourne")

> @andreagreypena said: > Hello! Mas ask lang po ako kung pano ba namemeasure kung proficient or superior ang result ng PTE exam mo? Yung overall score po kasi is 69 pero yung reading ko is 64 Hi @andreagreypena proficient po kapag 65-78 ang score mo sa listening, writing, reading and speaking tapos superior naman kung 79+ score mo sa apat. Kung 50-64 naman po competent. so kapag 64 ka po sa reading tapos mataas yung 3 sa competent pa din po kayo papasok..ano po ba score nyo sa 3?

May nakita akong AD from an agency called my new Australian life na may offer na job and accommodation pa. I don't know if legit na agency sya. > > > > > > > > > > For the program nila na may job offer, they will look into companies kasi na hiring that would fit sa qualification mo **once approved na ung vis**a. > > > > > > > > > > > > > So this just means that you have to have the visa first. This needs to be emphasized. They will not look for an employer who will sponsor you. That should be clear because a lot of people are expecting these kind of agencies will be looking for a sponsor for you which is misleading. > > > > > > > > Visa first, then they will look for companies for you? Parang tinulangan ka lang maghanap ng work once na magka visa ka. You can easily do it yourself once you have the visa and competent CV. > > > > > > > > > > Ang convenient kasi once you land na sa AU, you have guaranteed job na. And they clearly explain it to us naman before we availed their service. And they never mention naman na they will look for an employer who will sponsor us. It is clear naman sa website nila yun if you check it. Anyway, other than that naman, they have services din naman na walang guaranteed job offer. Just merely process your visa. It's your choice pa din naman what will you avail, if you want convenience, then their migration plus program suits you, but if not and you are confident naman, then ung migration program ka lang. Sguro they have advantage lang na makaoffer ng ganyang program since they are based in australia and they can easily look for a job na suit sa qualification mo. > > > > May clarification lang po ako, if they said they will assist you to find a job... Gaano po katagal ang assistance? Time based po ba? Or assistance lang to set up a certain number of job interviews? > > Looking into getting onboard with them for my migration plan. From what I understand sa consultation, it's just recruitment assistance but a job offer is guaranteed. You will still need to attend interviews with prospective employers but they'll help you prep so you can present yourself from an Australian perspective. So, basically you WILL get an offer, not sure lang sa timeframe. Up to you pa rin kung ia-accept mo yung offer or not. Of course pwede rin namang you hunt on your own but if you're in a specialised field and competition is tough, this could be a good service. :smile: My professional take on this, sign up with caution. I could imagine that the recruitment assistance is no different to other recruitment agencies out there. All candidates any recruiters would endorse are briefed before the interview. It’s their best interest to prepare their candidates since they get paid by the hiring employer a percentage of the candidate’s salary. Hence, if you will sign up with them, have a realistic expectation regarding job opportunities as I don’t think your chances of getting hired is any higher. It’s maybe similar to a placebo effect in medical term. Also, with the current climate, it’s very misleading for an agency to include its recruitment assistance as their selling point. In reality, it is very difficult to find employment when most businesses are struggling or at least on the edge waiting for how this pandemic will pan out. All the best. Not to promote our services but if you want to gain more understanding on the whole migration process you will definitely benefit from the webinar we are hosting later 9pm Philippine time. Registration will close at 8pm https://pinoyau.info/discussion/13848/general-skilled-migration-fy-2020-2021-webinar#latest
