Finding a Job in Australia & Getting an Employer Sponsored Visa: 10 Tips

Osirisryver01

Hi Guys, I'm a newbie in this forum. Need ko po ng advise/information regarding sa pag-apply ng visa. I'm a network operations engineer and my auntie wants me to go to Perth this year. My questions are: how to start my visa application? Do I need to go directly sa embassy or pwede online? Then, may mga exams pa po ba yun? And the payment, as in agad2x po mgbibigay ng bayad? Last, what kind of visa do I need to apply? Is it tourist or skilled sponsorship? I really dont know the process that's why I newd your inputs.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

@Osirisryver01, puwede kang isponsor ng auntie mo pero malaki-laking show money ang kailangan niya ilabas para magrant ka ng visa. So pinaka mabilis na siguro para sayo yung mag-apply ng skilled visa..check mo yung link na binigay ni lock_code...basically yung exams na kukunin mo at IELTS at Skills Assessment...tapos ihanda mo rin mga dokumento mo tulad ng transcript of record, birth certificate etc 🙂

Guy's ,

I'm planing to applay skilled migration in australia I'm mechanical engineer and 7 years in related to my profession. Kyalangan pa ba ng gumawa ng requirements ba ang CDR for applaying skilled migration.

Please advice

Thanks

Reply to @Dugongquatro: If your college degree is from the Philippines..CDR is required by Engineers Australia for your skills assessment.. otherwise kung ang college degree mo is from countries like Canada, UK, US, Aus, NZ... iba ang assessment process..

i suggest start reading the requirements from Engineers Australia: http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/about-us/migration-skills-assessment

lock_code2004 thanks for the info appreciated. If you are holding a US working visa for more than a year puwede na bang magaplay kahit na d na mag IELTS or required parin ako mag IELTS?

Reply to @Dugongquatro: required pa rin.. and also you need it to get points for the visa application in DIAC..

hello guys! bagong member lang ako dito. Just wanted to say na sobrang na-appreciate ko yung site na ito. very informative and helpful.

Na grant ang 175 visa namin (with husband and 4 year old son) last month. Around that time ko lang din na discover ang pinoyau. Very helpful kasi dito ko nalaman na kailangan pa namin ng CFO sticker bago umalis. or else sobrang hassle sana pag nasa airport na tapos hahanapan kami ng sticker.

Plan namin is mauuna muna ako tapos susunod ang family ko pag nakahanap na ako ng trabaho. Meron na akong ticket for July. Medyo kinakabahan ako kasi hindi ko alam kung makakahanap ako ng work agad. Tumitingin ako ngayon sa seek.au.com. Meron po pa ba kayong masa-suggest na ibang job sites or headhunters na pwede kong i-check? Susubukan ko kasing mag-submit na ng resume baka sakaling makakuha ng ako ng interviews bago ako dumating. Btw, @sgmumsy and @diwata, I'm also an sap abap programmer.

Salamat! Looks like malapit ka na rin may CO na kayo. 🙂 Ang bilis ng process nyo. Sa amin took almost 8 months. Pero paper application naman kasi kami. Didn't know na pwede na pa lang mag online application (or lately lang ba pwede ito? ) Anyways, correction pala. Na-assign kami ng case officer April 13. Na submit namin additional docs (health exam, ITRs, NBI) May 3. In less than a week, lumabas na visa grant namin. (May 10) 🙂

Mga kaibigan, bago po ako sa forum na ito, at napansin ko naman na matulungin ang mga kababayan natin dito. Magtatanong lang po muna sana ako...

a. Kung gagamit po ng agent sa pag-assist for 175 visa, magkano po ba aabutin? Ang alam ko, mga AUD7K+ ang gastos for the visa application itself, so malaking halaga na yun. Magkano din kaya pag may agent na?

b. May nababasa po akong kailangan pang i-certify ang work mode. Ako po ay taga DLSU, at CPA po ako. Third party po ba ang magbibigay ng assessment sa work experience ko at school?

Marami pa po akong tanong pero ito na lang muna. 🙂

@elyvedder - welcome to PinoyAu...

To answer your questions briefly:

a. DIAC visa application is 3kAUD, but there are other costs like skill assessment, IELTS, medical and police clearance.. so in total it would be approximately 5-6kAUD.. a migration agent will cost an additional 3-5kAUD.

b.Yes, skills/educational qualifications must be assessed by the recognized body.. (EA- for Engineers, ACS- for IT...etc)..

There is a separate thread/discussion for this for CPA/Accountants. Please check.

@elyvedder, di ko masyado mahirap yung pag-asikaso ng 175 visa...basa basa lang po kayo konti sa ibang threads dito siguradong kaya niyo na magpasa kahit walang agent. Anlaking matitipid niyo nun hehe...

question naman po. kung nagaaplu na kami ng work and outside australia kami, pano po ang contact details namin sa resume? advisable po ba na bumili ng australian sim an ipa-roaming? or skype account na lang?
