@annafonz Considering the age factor, the bp pathway would have been the fastest. However, AHPRA will be doing away with the BP sometime next year in favor of the <a href="https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/FAQ/Transition-to-a-new-assessment-model-for-internationally-qualified-nurses-and-midwives.aspx">outcomes-based-assessment (OBA)</a> pathway towards registration for internationally qualified nurses. The exact details and timetable has not been published yet. Nursing Conversion program may be the next best thing for you since this will not be affected by the new pathway. However, you cannot claim additional points for the PR application because the basic requirement is 16 months of study for the <a href="https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/work/allocation-dates-for-general-skilled-migration-applications/2-year-study">Australian Study Requirement</a>. You will need to enrol in another course to qualify which would put you back in the same situation you outlined in your query. You will finish at age 39 and will be around 40 when you apply for PR which would drastically lower your points for the age requirement.

If I may suggest, try gathering your docs now, apply to AHPRA and hope to get Letter of Referral in time for Jan intakes of BP. Of course, this is very dependent on how soon you can submit your application and receive the letter of referral. Medyo mahirap talaga ngayon dahil marami ang naghahabol na maka BP dahil sa for sure there will be uncertainties during the initial implementation of the new pathway.

Anyone na nakaexperience na nakabridging visa while waiting for student visa then nakareceive ng invititation at nakalodge ng PR? Pwede ba iwithdraw na lang student visa applocation?

cucci

@jvs_mmm If the question is simply "<i class="Italic">pwede ba i-withdraw</i>", of course, that is your prerogative but it's another case if you intend to ask for a refund of the visa application fees. You can of course, request for a refund but it will be up to the DoHA to decide if the refund is merited or not.

It would be prudent to withdraw the student visa application because, if for example it was not withdrawn and you were granted the PR visa first, the subsequent grant of the student visa might supersede the PR grant.

Thanks @cucci ❤️ Perth po kasi ako ECU. May form po kaya sila dun narequired. I searched sa website ng uni wala ako nakita na form just the needed vaccines. Para po sa mga vaccines naeron na ako ano pong pwedeng pakita na proof na meron kung wala na yung baby book ko. Nung college din nagvaccine na kami thanks

@velvetcake1214 Eto po ata ang gamit na <a href="https://www.ecu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/682242/Checklist.pdf"><b class="Bold">form</b></a> ng ECU.

Most of the requirements are adult vaccines naman. I think ang relevant na nasa baby book ay yung para varicella para sa chicken pox. Otherwise you can have booster shots na. HepB will require booster shots if surface antibody count is less that 10 or 12 depending on the health department of a state.

sa mga taga middle east na hindi mabigyan ng COGS haban hindi ka pa resigned pede bang magpasa ng statutory declaration kahit wala pa go signal ng RO? nagrequest na sya ng additional docs for COGS. Nagemail na ako sa kanya na nagpadala ng explanation letter un employer ko sa AHPRA. antay ko pa un reply eh. Naisip k kasi magpagawa na habang para ready na ipadala. Until Nov. 15 lang kasi ang deadline nya sakin eh

Cassey

@jvs_mmm Yes, you can. Just make sure that you have a valid visa once you withdraw your SV. That happened to us before.

cheng1003

@lizzie86 @danjoe03 bakit po di kayo mabigyan ng COGS. nkakuha naman po aq last june. Dpa naman aq resign. Oman din po ako work

lizzie86

@danjoe03 magpapasa pa lang ako ng statutory declaration sa Sunday pero napadala ko na un letter from my current employer. Nung September pa pero hindi pa daw nya natatanggap un SQUH good standing ko. eh same day un pinadala so I assume hindi pa dn nya natatanggap un letter from my current company pero nag email dn ako asking kung natanggap nya ba un. Sagot nya magemail daw sya ulit pag natanggap nya un SQUH COGS at titigan nya kung okay na ba un. kaw ano sabi nya sayo?

FYI: Sa mga balak mageenrol sa Deakin for IRON, I’ve just called and was told na full na yung slots for their January and May intake. You may want to check other schools offering BP.
