Hi Mga Kabayan and Fellow Civil Engineer, I am new in this forum. I got concern a lot of question regarding migration/working to Australia.
I am a licensed Civil Engineer in PH. PH experience: - Four (4) years’ experience as a Site Engineer in Building Projects in PH, Singapore Experience: -1 (one) Year as Project Engineer and Three (3) Years as QS Total of 8 Years Working experience. I am planning to take Visa 189 or 190, currently am drafting my CDR but am doubted what should I Write in my Career Episodes.
• Am drafting my Career EP 1 regarding my thesis manuscript during my student time. This thesis was about research on how to strengthen the concrete using the steel waste fiber generated from lathes machines. So there’s an involvement of calculation, concrete analysis, etc. and social and environmental contribution.
• Career Episode 2&3- On progress drafting but It's more in Site operation and completion of Building project.
I got a concern that hoping you could help me as follows:
Is my 3 years’ experience as QS can recognize as related working experience for the nominated skill occupation I wish to apply for?
I read the MSA booklet Clause 2.5.2 stated, “career episode is an account of your engineering education and/or work experience”. That’s why I drafted my career ep 1 during my engineering Educ. Is my Career Episode 1 drafting being strong enough? Or I should focus on 4 years of working experience as a civil Engineer?
If using a point calculator, I could have 75 Pts for 189 while 80 Pts for 190. What type I should select 189 or 190. Or any other visa you can advise?
I’m also exploring maybe select the visa 491 I could have 90Pts. Understand this is not PR. Any concern or disadvantage of this visa?
Gusto ko n kc po I process ng rush para atleast mkpunta nako sa Australia at mkawork. If hindi po ako successfully n ma invite sa 189 OR 190 baka don muna ako sa 491. Any thoughts on this?
Hope you guys can answer all my question. Thanks in advance!
