Are You An Engineer? (Visa 476)

makarunee

@guboer hindi ako nagpacertify ng any document. 🙂 tinanggap naman nila scanned copies. Then I submitted all the reqts and medical within 28 days. Wala na naassign na case officer. Derecho grant na.

Btw. I lodged my visa last Feb lang.

guboer

@makarunee... wow congrats! Sana ganyan din sa akin hehe. Btw, anu-anong mga docs inattach mo? birth cert, diploma, transcript, passport, passport size pic, english proficiency exam report, medical exam result, nbi clearance? May kulang ba?

Dun sa medical exam and nbi clearance, hindi ba dapat hintayin ang advice nila? Hindi ba sila nag-email sa'yo bago ka nagsubmit? Basta diretso submit ka na? Kelan ka na-grant/ approve?

Hi,

Magagamit ko ba yung license ko after board exam sa Australia? Iniisip ko kasi kung aalis na ako or hindi at magantay ng board exam. Feeling ko kasi nagaaksaya na lang ako ng oras dito kung hindi ko rin naman siya magagamit dun.

What do you guys think?

makarunee

@guboer hindi ko na hinintay na mag-email sila. derecho upload na. 🙂 Nagsubmit ako nung Feb 26. Granted April 14 2015. Nakita ko pala ng PTE ung inexam mo, tama ba? How was it?

@pseudoaussie I think di recognized yung license natin dito. Though mukang mas okay na kumuha ng experience muna bago pumunta doon para makatulong sa paghahanap ng work. I heard medyo mahirap daw maghanap e. or swertihan lang talaga 🙂

@makarunee, hintayin ko na lang ang email nila. Hindi naman ako nagmamadaling umalis haha. Yes, nag-PTE ako imbes na IELTS kasi mabilis magbook. Puwede magbook kahit 24 hrs before your preferred exam date. Tapos within 5 days may result na. Sa case ko 1 day lang ata haha. In terms of exam's difficulty, hmm....same lang ang level ng difficulty pero mas komplikado ang mga type ng exams kesa sa IELTS. Pero sa tingin ko, mas malaki ang chance na makakuha ng mataas na score sa PTE kesa IELTS. May mga modules kasi na more than one skills ang tinitest. Hindi tulad ng sa IETLS, kung listening, listening lang; kung speaking, speaking lang; etc.

Hi,

Nanggaling ako sa CFO sabi hindi na daw kailangan ng sticker nila. Kayo ba kumuha kayo ng sticker? Baka kasi harangin ako sa airport.

Thanks

Hindi ata Immigrant Visa ang 476... If so, hindi required ang PDOS and CFO sticker

PDOS and CFO sticker not required for visa 476.

I just learned that 476 are mostly engineers coming from UP? I wish I had this subclass when I was younger 🙂 Anyway, I have an opening for an IT role and I want to give an opportunity to a fellow isko/iska migrant. Please add a cover letter. Our office is based here in Melbourne (Rowville, Victoria). I will do the interview so if you want to know more about me, see geocoding.io. This is for a permanent full time position here at www.datalinktech.com.au. Please pass this on if you know someone who may fit the role and is currently in Australia with valid work rights.

Goodluck to all of you in your journey here in AU. Dream big. Be brave.

Cheers,

Hello, my bro is graduating from UP in 2016 at naghahanda na kami ng mga needs nya and required docs. I am now lurking in this thread. Happy migration peeps!

Hello everyone, me and my wife have been here in Brisbane for about a month now. We are both visa 476 holders (we applied separately) and still on the job hunt. Land surveyors/GIS specialist (geodetic engineers) kami. Anyone knows what's the best way to approach the job search for this industry?

Hi! I'm new here. I'm a ChE grad from UP Diliman. Gusto ko lang itanong kung may mga ChE din ba dito, saang fields sila nakahanap ng work sa australia, at kung mahirap ba talaga maghabnap ng ChE related job. Nababasa ko kasi na mababa daw ang job openings para sa mga ChE sa Australia. Thanks! 🙂

My 476 visa was granted on October 22. Just wanted to post my timeline for reference:

August 1 - IELTS

August 14 - IELTS result (OBS: 8.0)

August 31 - Lodge

September 23 - CO Allocated

October 7 - Medical Exam at Nationwide

October 9 - NBI Clearance

October 20 - Form 80 and 1221

October 21 - CV

October 22 - Visa Grant

Initial Entry Date - October 9, 2016

Nagulat rin ako sa bilis nila mag-grant. Anyhow, anong itatanong ng immigration sa airport (both sa NAIA and OZ)? Kailangan ba magpakita ng return ticket?

Thanks!

Hello guys, I have 476 visa as well. Nasa Pinas pa ako, June 2016 ang expiration ng first entry ko. Pero nagdadalawang isip pa ako tumuloy.

Seeking advice sa mga tumuloy na, madali ba makahanap ng trabaho? Chemical engineer din ako, with MS in environmental engineering and with 2 yrs experience on envi management and consultancy.

@guboer I suggest sa Perth (WA) ka pumunta at subukang maghanap ng work sa mining/engg companies. Medyo nagtanggalan ng jobs this year na pwedeng magrollover until next year pero marami pa rin namang nagtatanggapan on the side (city-based work) and with your quals, merong consulting firms na willing to take you on board. Goodluck!

HeisenGibbs

@surveyor89 Does your visa allow you to work and live in WA? Kung oo, try nyo maghanap ng work sa metro Perth or regional WA 🙂

iammaxwell1989

@guboer If you're apprehensive, take a 1 week vacation anywhere in Oz just to fulfill the initial entry rqments. That way your visa doesnt expire, and you have 18months to think about moving down.

Finding a job and migrating is a risk, in all honesty. But risks come with rewards if you play it right. I am glad I took it.

iammaxwell1989

@heysoulmister they might ask about the visa as it's not particularly popular, so bring your visa grant notice.

You don't have to show a return ticket.

Hi, I just want to ask about the requirement for having a valid Medicare card or receipt of enrollment with Medicare or health insurance in Australia. Recent requirement lang siguro siya kasi nung chineck ko naman yung reqts dati wala namang ganun. Alam niyo ba kung pwedeng magenroll sa Medicare kahit nasa Pilipinas pa? Or kung paano makakakuha ng health insurance sa Australia? Thank you.
