after graduating college as civil engineering. whats the best way po to work and live in australia? can someone advise for the steps? thank you.. planning po to work there sana after graduating or any advise na kuha muna ako ng experience sa pinas and pass the exam or dun na sa australia mag exam? any tips po. maraming salamat
@udonggo imo, gain job experience first since you can get points from it and will be part of your migration assessment as a professional. time your application where you can get max points from age (i.e. 25-32yrs old = 30pts). the only draw back of waiting for the right time is the change in migration rules. every year pabago-bago ng rules or requirements kaya minsan nauudlot yung plans to migrate.
But if you have the money, why not study here and work part time to gain experience. marami naman pwede pagpilian na related sa CE dito like Construction Project Management, Quantity Surveyor, etc. And in my experience mas mabilis ang processing ng PR visa (given you completed all requirements) kapag on-shore ka.
I agree but also be mindful that student visa doesn’t guarantee a pathway to PR since new rules would most likely be applicable by the time you’re ready to lodge your PR visa application. I’m a product of a student visa myself but was lucky that it worked for me. Not all are successful with this pathway.
yes @RheaMARN1171933. I agree that it is no guarantee. Even having a working visa does not guarantee that you can get a PR afterwards. But being a student imo is an opportunity to learn, understand and adapt to the culture and meet people. And aside from those it is also an opportunity to earn money to sustain your education while also saving for the next milestone in ones migration process.
Of course my comments above would only apply to the average "can afford" person/family. It would be different story if a one is wealthy or with abundant resource.
At the end of the day, prayers, hard work and choices we make, imo, will dictate the outcome of your chosen migration pathway.
I’m not sure if earning money should be highlighted. You can only work up to 40 hours per fortnight. That’s not even enough to sustain your everyday living. Also, it will be difficult to get employed within your chosen field whilst on student visa since your work rights are limited so you’ll end up doing odd jobs. This is the reality one would be facing on a student visa...it’s not a bed of roses. I wouldn’t see it as a better option but one which would fit someone willing to take the risk. I took the risk and it definitely paid off but not sure how I would have survived if I didn’t have my parents for support. So if someone is considering this, be prepared.
the reality for the average person:-
1) earning while studying is important to sustain daily needs and pay for tuition fee. if it is not enough, it will greatly help whoever is sponsoring the migration process. Difficult but not impossible to study and work to live and pay for tuition fee specially with persons who are used to doing hard work. I know a few who did it and made it possible even at this very moment.
2) "kapag gusto may paraan, kapag ayaw may dahilan". It is difficult but certainly not impossible. If a person, for example) is a Civil Engineer (ph) and become a student here in au taking up anything related to construction industry, the choice for part timework should not be limited to civil engineering or project management jobs alone. one could work under a tradie to familiarise ones self of the knows and hows of construction industry in au.
3) an average person going through the migration process is NEVER a bed of roses. obviously. taking a big risk then just relaxing afterwards is a pure waste of time and money. a big risk like migrating is requires a good sense of responsibility and hard work. the hardest work one can possibly do.
