Are You An Engineer? (Visa 476)

dglsp

Hi, ask ko lang, anong IELTS yung tinake nyo, Academic o General Training? Okay lang ba kahit alin dun for the 476?

iammaxwell1989

@dglsp For engineers, the general training module is required.

Hi po! is it ok to ask for the step by step process (documents needed etc) sa pag-apply for visa 476 and then if how much ang reqd fee (estimate)? medyo magulo po kasi 'yong sa immi site. Thank you so much! 😃

Ei. mga masters. Help. NAATI. Gusto ko pong i-avail ang +5 points from NAATI. I have read threads regarding NAATI, pero malabo pa din. Since I know that later on, 476ers will soon apply for PR visa, we might as well discuss NAATI.

iammaxwell1989

You take it to be a registered Translator (ANZSCO Code 272413) and Interpreter (ANZSCO Code 272412). You get 5 bonus points when you pass the test.

@ghypez, ilan na ba points mo so far?

ghypez

Is that the easiest way? 60 points ang estimate ko if matapos ko tong EA and IELTS.

OMG ngayon ko lang ito nabasa haha! namiss nyo ba ako! Same month and year tayo ng IED. Kailan ka punta ng OZ?

Aba'y naging live-in/kasalan na pala itong thread na ito hehe.

Good luck sa mga 476 applicants! If you do intend to migrate permamently, I'd suggest na basahin niyo rin yung requirements ng 190/189 visa para ready na rin! Honestly it was easier for 476 visa holders nung 2010 and early 2011 to become PR kasi mataas ang points ng skill assessment alone noon. Eh yung sa EA, na-approve sila kahit thesis nila sa college yung CDR nila. Ngayon important na rin yung work experience.

@fritz First things first. Make sure you are eligible. Dapat graduate ka ng engineering course from UP within 2 years prior to lodging the application. Kailan ka ba nag-graduate?

Your initial step is to take the IELTS. You only need at least 6 in all the test modules to qualify for Visa 476. But if you're planning to push through with PR in the future, better get at least 7 or at least 8 in all modules.

Initial documents you need to prepare include TOR, Diploma, English translation ng diploma, birth certificate, and the IELTS results form.

Here's my cost estimate :

IELTS : 9,000 PhP

Visa App Fee : 315$ (approx 15000PhP)

Medical : 6,500PhP

Clearance : 500PhP

Miscellaneous : 5,000PhP

Air Fare : 15,000 PhP

PhP 57,000 pre-departure expenses

Back read ka lang masasagot almost all of your questions. =)

@ghypez

Why 60 points? Please share your computation if you don't mind. Uhm, i am not sure about the NAATI test, but I think IELTS 8.0 is achievable. If you get 20 points from IELTS i don't think you have to take the NAATI test. Mas mahal yata yung NAATI.

@Birhen_ng_Guadalupe

That's exactly what i'm doing. haha

@max: yep. 60 points. I assume that I'll get 7.0 in IELTS. That is 10 points. 5 points for 1 year local exp. 15 points for EA. 30 points for age.

other options: a. get IELTS 8.0 = +20

                   b. NAATI = +5

                   c. mag asawa ng Skilled din (assessed na din xempre) = +5

so invest na lang ng effort and time to get IELTS 8.0 🙂

@fritz: add buffer to airfare. Say, 25k. hehe

iammaxwell1989

@ghypez bakit ang laki ng buffer sa airfare? haha. madami ba dapat padulas?

ghypez

Hnd naman. Haha. Direct flight to Au. Haha.un kinuha ko last time. Takot ako e.

i have not read any one here who claimed for NAATI - 5 points...

if you are already in AU.. mas mabilis pa sguro mag-claim ng state sponsorship which is also 5 pts..

@iammaxwell1989 : Okay lang ba na 'yung natake ko na IELTS ay Academic, kahit engineer ako.? Nakapagtake na kasi ako, inisip ko, pwede ko rin kasi siya magamit for scholarship applications 'pag nag-Masters abroad. Pano yun, okay lang kaya? Sabi nila "AT LEAST General Training" sa Immigration website. Is it right na mas mahirap daw yung Academic? Macocover din kaya yung General Training if Academic kinuha ko? Thanks!

lock_code2004

@gslp - okay lang ang Academic..

pareho lang ang Listening and Speaking..

pero iba ang Reading and Writing ng Academic, at sabi nga mas mahirap ang academic..

iammaxwell1989

@dglsp With regards to the visa 476, I am not entirely sure if you can take the IELTS Academic instead of the IELTS General training. This was my dilemma a few months back. Strictly speaking, dapat general training for migration purposes.

If your scored lower than 7 in any of the academic module, I suggest you take the general training.

ghypez

I have a friend who took the academic stuff. Ok naman. Andito na siya. So pwede siguro.hehe.

dglsp

Naku sana nga okay. That's my case, I have already taken the exam and still waiting for the results.

iammaxwell1989

Nice. May gumawa na pala nun, hehe. 🙂

@iammaxwell1989 saang stage kana ng application? nakapaglodge ka na? musta ang de facto?
