Architect - Applying as Architectural Draftsperson

bob88

Hi, I've been reading this post and the replies have been very helpful. Can somebody enlighten me with the following:

1) Job Title. Does my title in my COE have to match "Architectural Draftsperson" as stated in the CSOL? Kasi I worked as an "Architectural Assistant" sa SG but the tasks/duties are the same as Archi Draftsperson sa AU. Although pwede naman baguhin sa COE ko yung title to Archi Draftsperson (kasi good friends kami ng boss/ HR namin), pero I would prefer to have my declaration 100% accurate.

2) CoE. I worked in Dubai for a couple of years. However, yung company nadissolve na. There is literally no way for me to obtain my payslips/ statements/etc. I do have a copy of my Employment Offer Letter and an old Employment Certificate from that company pero kulang sa info na hinihingi ng VETASSESS. Should I omit this on my declaration of work experience?

Architectural assistant is fine, make sure na consistent with the employer reference letter.
Can you get employer reference letter with detailed job description from any of your former colleague? If yes, then u can still include it but if not, you can opt not to claim points for this employment.

@bob88 for Q2: you can submit copies of your offer letter, contract, employment cert, UAE visa and gawa ka self statutory declaration for job description as supporting docs. isama mo na sa submission sa vetasses and let them evaluate kung pwede o hindi.

afaik hindi recognised ang education for architecture sa pinas kaya mataas ung risk of having negative assessment. y not apply as architectural draftsperson, then once granted visa, u can still pursue your registration/licensing with AACA and work as architect in Au

Salamat sa mga responses. I decided to exclude my Dubai experience sa application ko. Instead of getting max points for overseas experience, I will settle for 5 years na lang pare less hassle magcompile ng documents.

Regarding payslips:

I have 3-4 payslips from each year I have worked with my company.

Kaso black and white lang. Pag magpapasa ba sa Vetassess kelangan CTC lahat yung payslips? Kasi medyo magastos. Yung iba kong documents colored originals naman kaya no need CTC. Sa SG around $40 yung isang page, around 24 payslips meron ako. Almost 1k para sa payslips lang.

Tanong ko Lang gaano katagal mag assess for architectural draftsperson?

kaidenMVH

So I decided to take the plunge. Paid 810Aud for the assessment. It's been 1 year in the making. Pero habang papalapit primary 1 ng anak ko we need a backup plan kasi hangang ngayon Di approve ang PR nya. Hopefully positive assessment as Archi Draftsman and sana open pa once na approve. Pd din ako pa assess as Const project manager kasi for the past 2 years un ang trabaho ko. Asst project supervisor. I just felt I have better chance of approval as arch draftsman pero kunti Lang na open state ngayon.

Greetings!

Magtatanong lng po sana ako kung valid po ba ang PTE instead of IELTS sa associate builder applying for state sponsorship sa Victoria.

Maraming salamat po..

@kaidenMVH usual timelime is 3 to 4 months para sa assessment ng vetassess 🙂

Goodluck sa assessment! Just pray for it, pati na din na sana may mga state na mag-open na mas madaling pasukin. 🙂

@bob88 hello! Kamusta ang gathering ng docs? Nung nagpa-assess kami, hindi na pinaCTC samin ng agent yung payslips. May murang CTC dito sa Singapore. Dun sa Adelphi da may city hall. Dun usually nagpapaCTC karamihan kay Mr Andrew Ee. Pero he retired na and may pumalit, si Janice Lim. Same office and rates naman daw. May mga docs akong napaCTC before kapag multiple pages yung document, $5 lang yung front page then succeeding pages $2 lang.

@m_j should be 🙂

Ito yung nakalagay sa liveinvictoria website for english reqs:

Alternative English language tests will be accepted. Applicants should obtain the IELTS equivalent in any of the following DIBP accepted language tests: OET, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic and Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE).

Hi! kumpleto na documents ko and I have filled out my form. Di na ako nagpa CTC ng payslips just like what the others did. I plan to send it in the following days. However, a few things are holding me back.

1) Some states require you to indicate in the EOI that you prefer them above other states. Meaning on your EOI you only need to tick that particular state. Sa Vetassess form, there is this same question. Should the states in the VETASSESS form and EOI forms match/tally?

Gusto ko kasi gamitin yung VETASSESS results (should it be "positive") for EOI application to other states should there be a new openings in other state around 2nd half of 2017. Wala akong makita sa forums about this query.

2) Proof of funds. Kelangan magresearch pa ako onti kung magkano required funds mo bago ka matanggap sa particular state. Each state has their own fund requirement afaik.

@bob88 hello! Sorry sa late rep...

With regards dun sa EOI and vetassess forms, hindi ko makita sa email ko yung form. Nalost ko yata somewhere dahil sa dami ng email exchange namin ng agent. Yung agent namin ang nagfill-up kaya hindi ako makabigay ng concrete na answer. Meron bang option na any state? Parang ganyan yata yung pinili ni agent para samin before. I think ok lang kahit magkaiba yung sa form and sa eoi. Kasi kami after mareceive yung assessment from vetassess, paiba-iba din kami ng state nun sa eoi. Depende kung san magbubukas. And parang wala naman akong natatandaan na may nakaindicate na state sa outcome letter. Research mo yung vetassess outcome letter sa google, makikita mo yung samples, wala naman nakaspecify.

Yes. Diff state, diff proof of funds. Sa QLD nung time na nag-aapply kami, AUD45K for a family of 3. Pero ang kailangan mo lang ng proof is cash amount of AUD15K. The rest, declaration lang. But of course, hindi ka pwede magoverdeclare para in case hanapan ka ng proof, may mapapakita ka pa din.

Kung gustong-gustong-gusto mo matuloy sa Australia, kayang-kaya mo lampasan yung mga bagay that are holding you back. Hindi madali ang buong process, tedious and nakakakaba talaga. Pero sa tiyaga and dasal, kayang-kaya yan!
