    Hi. Sana po may makasagot sa tanong ko. Planning to submit CDR + RSEA this June,
    5 years working experience as Electrical Engineer (Oct 2015- Feb 2021).
    As of the moment 1 year na po akong walang work, magkakaron po ba ng issue sa CDR + RSEA approval kapag wala akong work ngayon? Thanks in advance sa makakasagot!!

    Hello Sir @shangorajay sa tingin ko po di naman magiging issue sa EA yun. Kasi yung completeness at originality ng submitted documents mo naman ang ichecheck nila at kung ang iceclaim mo lang naman eh yung period na sinabi mo sa taas. Share ko lang po nagresign ako sa first job ko last Oct 2021. From Nov 2021 to present nag-asikaso ko ng EA documents ko at review para sa PTE at wala ako official work pa till now tumutulong lang sa family business namin pero nung nagpaassess ako sa EA last Apr 01, positive naman yung results na binigay sakin for both Educ at work Expi nung Apr 02 kaya okay lang po yan.

    Question lang sir, may migration agent po ba kayo or nag diy po kayo? Thanks!

    Hello Sir DIY lang din po ako.

    AFAIK. Individual. Need nyo mag pa assess pareho (if claim points from partner). Not an expert, lets wait sa reply ng iba.

    That’s correct. If claiming partner points, the partner has to have a positive skills assessment.

    Hi question po sana under Education nakalagay po kc sa EA booklet eto:

    2.3 Education
    You must provide your degree certificate, official academic
    transcript and/or other supporting documents (for example
    course syllabus). If you have more than one engineering
    qualification, all relevant additional qualifications must be
    provided. If you are currently enrolled in any formal
    educational program, please upload your enrolment letter
    and current transcript if available. Please ensure the name
    of the educational institution is entered using the
    appropriate upper and lower case letters (for example
    University of New South Wales).

    Sabi po dyan: "If you are currently enrolled in any formal
    educational program, please upload your enrolment letter
    and current transcript if available"

    --Im currently taking my master's degree po but it's management related not engineering. kailan ko pa po ba isama? TIA

    Hello po,
    I got a positive skill assessment from EA last December 2021. May I know if required po ba sa state nomination ang Relevant Skill Assessment (counting the years of experience)? Yung standard lang po kasi ang inavail ko. TIA.

    I think you can check status sa EA account mo. Also, did you avail fast track or standard lang. kpag standard i think umaabot ng 3mos and kpag fast track 20 working days. I did mine via fastrack and on time nman sila maaga pa ng 2-3 days.

    Hello po, new lurker po checking the MSA details. Quick question lang po, yung RSEA po ba is a big factor in finding employer? I understand sa mga comments that it is optional for claiming points for migration purpose curious lang if it has an advantage in job-seeking once visa processes are all okay.

    Skills assessment has nothing to do with getting employed, it’s more to do with migration. It’s important not to get migration and employment mixed up.

    Hi po thanks sa reply. I understand po this point. But what I mean to clarify is, both po kami ng wife ko kasi are engineers. Since magastos din yung assessment, winiweigh in ko lang ko may other advantage ba yung MSA+RSEA other than pandagdag points? Does that mean po ba, if in case hindi magpa-asses isa sa amin, makakapagpractice parin ng profession?

    Hard to provide a more strategic approach without knowing both your background. Usually I would recommend RSEA for both just to make sure there won’t be issues claiming points for work and experience. Also, RSEA isn’t about claiming points for partner skills as the partner doesn’t have to have work experience to get a positive outcome with EA. You do the RSEA for both to widen your chances for an invite since both can be the main applicant on EOI, so whoever gets invited first will be the main applicant - if that makes sense

    Hello Sir @nikkolahz it looks like bago palang po kayo sa thread. Napagdaanan ko din po yan kaya subukan ko sagutin yung mga tanong mo sa abot ng aking makakaya haha. DIY po ba kayo o mag-agent? Kung DIY, while it's good na pineprepare niyo na po yung MSA documents niyo, I would like to tell you po na major requirement yung at least Competent score niyo sa English exam (IELTS (band score of at least 6); PTE (at least 65 score in each component) etc.) bago kayo maging eligible for EA assessment ng misis mo. Tapos regarding RSEA, in summary, hati po ang opinyon ng mga tao sa thread regarding dyan. Madami pong nagsasabi na better to have RSEA para pag nagclaim ng points eh backed by EA assessment. Not saying na siguradong di masisita ng DHA kasi posible pa din yun pero at least relieved ka kasi may approval ng EA pero sa huli DHA pa din magdedecide. Pero may ilan din pong sumubok na di na ipaassess yung work experience nila kasi sigurado silang relevant yung experience na yun tapos wala naman naging isyu sa DHA. In short, regarding RSEA, decide at your own risk po talaga. Another thing sa RSEA po, medyo challenging dyan na part eh yung proof of employment history (COE, BIR 2316, SSS contributions, etc.). Better po na as early as now, maasikaso na para magawan agad ng paraan yung mga kulang. Pero again, one at a time lang po. If wala pa kayo English exam proficiency results, better na dun po muna focus para di kayo maoverwhelm. Lastly, ideally based on your profile, I would suggest yung misis mo po ang gawing main applicant provided na yung 8 years na yun ay related sa Chem Engg talaga lalo kung ang goal niyo po eh maabutan yung pagbubukas ng new FY this coming July 2022. Pero kung di naman po kayo nagmamadali, tama yung sabi ni Ms. Rhea na once mareach mo din next year yung 8th work anniversary, okay na kayong parehong maging main applicant. Sa huli, nasa desisyon niyo po kung paano tatakbo application niyo kasi kung pareho po kayo willing mag-invest sa application eh mas madadagdagan yung chance niyo mainvite. Pero again, dedepende po kayo sa resulta ng English exam niyo kung sino ba dapat maging main applicant kasi hindi yang work expi ang magdidikta yung total po. Another possible combination po kasi, what if ikaw yung maka-Superior sa English tapos misis mo Proficient so sa total score malalamangan po pa siya ng 5 pts sa total kaya in that case ikaw na dapat maging main applicant. Sana po masundan niyo explanation ko haha. Good luck po!

    Hello po, new lurker po checking the MSA details. Quick question lang po, yung RSEA po ba is a big factor in finding employer? I understand sa mga comments that it is optional for claiming points for migration purpose curious lang if it has an advantage in job-seeking once visa processes are all okay.

    Skills assessment has nothing to do with getting employed, it’s more to do with migration. It’s important not to get migration and employment mixed up.

    Hi po thanks sa reply. I understand po this point. But what I mean to clarify is, both po kami ng wife ko kasi are engineers. Since magastos din yung assessment, winiweigh in ko lang ko may other advantage ba yung MSA+RSEA other than pandagdag points? Does that mean po ba, if in case hindi magpa-asses isa sa amin, makakapagpractice parin ng profession?

    Hard to provide a more strategic approach without knowing both your background. Usually I would recommend RSEA for both just to make sure there won’t be issues claiming points for work and experience. Also, RSEA isn’t about claiming points for partner skills as the partner doesn’t have to have work experience to get a positive outcome with EA. You do the RSEA for both to widen your chances for an invite since both can be the main applicant on EOI, so whoever gets invited first will be the main applicant - if that makes sense

    This makes a lot of sense po. Thank you.
    I am Electronics Engineer - Going 8 years exp on 1st quarter of 2023
    Si wife Chemical Engineer- 8 years working exp.
    We are trying to compile documents for MSA.

    Hello Sir @nikkolahz it looks like bago palang po kayo sa thread. Napagdaanan ko din po yan kaya subukan ko sagutin yung mga tanong mo sa abot ng aking makakaya haha. DIY po ba kayo o mag-agent? Kung DIY, while it's good na pineprepare niyo na po yung MSA documents niyo, I would like to tell you po na major requirement yung at least Competent score niyo sa English exam (IELTS (band score of at least 6); PTE (at least 65 score in each component) etc.) bago kayo maging eligible for EA assessment ng misis mo. Tapos regarding RSEA, in summary, hati po ang opinyon ng mga tao sa thread regarding dyan. Madami pong nagsasabi na better to have RSEA para pag nagclaim ng points eh backed by EA assessment. Not saying na siguradong di masisita ng DHA kasi posible pa din yun pero at least relieved ka kasi may approval ng EA pero sa huli DHA pa din magdedecide. Pero may ilan din pong sumubok na di na ipaassess yung work experience nila kasi sigurado silang relevant yung experience na yun tapos wala naman naging isyu sa DHA. In short, regarding RSEA, decide at your own risk po talaga. Another thing sa RSEA po, medyo challenging dyan na part eh yung proof of employment history (COE, BIR 2316, SSS contributions, etc.). Better po na as early as now, maasikaso na para magawan agad ng paraan yung mga kulang. Pero again, one at a time lang po. If wala pa kayo English exam proficiency results, better na dun po muna focus para di kayo maoverwhelm. Lastly, ideally based on your profile, I would suggest yung misis mo po ang gawing main applicant provided na yung 8 years na yun ay related sa Chem Engg talaga lalo kung ang goal niyo po eh maabutan yung pagbubukas ng new FY this coming July 2022. Pero kung di naman po kayo nagmamadali, tama yung sabi ni Ms. Rhea na once mareach mo din next year yung 8th work anniversary, okay na kayong parehong maging main applicant. Sa huli, nasa desisyon niyo po kung paano tatakbo application niyo kasi kung pareho po kayo willing mag-invest sa application eh mas madadagdagan yung chance niyo mainvite. Pero again, dedepende po kayo sa resulta ng English exam niyo kung sino ba dapat maging main applicant kasi hindi yang work expi ang magdidikta yung total po. Another possible combination po kasi, what if ikaw yung maka-Superior sa English tapos misis mo Proficient so sa total score malalamangan po pa siya ng 5 pts sa total kaya in that case ikaw na dapat maging main applicant. Sana po masundan niyo explanation ko haha. Good luck po!

    tama yung sabi ni Ms. Rhea na once mareach mo din next year yung 8th work anniversary, okay na kayong parehong maging main applicant

    I don’t recall stating the above. It’s too early to decide on these things. Get document ready first and then look at options. Everything is speculative without being document ready. Once you’re at the EOI stage, that’s the time to strategise. It’s not just about having the most points, it’s also about the nominated occupation. Some are less competitive than others. Some are more in demand in a particular state over others. There are a lot of factors to consider and there’s no point assessing these things now until you’re ready for EOI because as we all know between now and eoi stage, a lot of things can change still. Deciding now who the main applicant should be is somehow limiting your possible options later. Best to put all the time and energy on skills assessment than weighing all the possibilities. Make things simple, concentrate on your current stage - one step at a time. If you’re trying to address everything at the same time you’ll just get mentally drained out.

    Hey Buddies!

    Does anyone here have the same experience with me?

    I'm working directly with an Australian company so bale offshore set up siya. Now I lodge my CDR+RSEA and I include this employment to my career episode. Now EA is requesting for a secondary docs for this career episode and they want a document came from a third party entity. Problem is, I have no means in providing such document like SSS, ITR or anything that will prove my employment with the Aussie company since di nman tlaga yun possible to reflect in my SSS/ITR since they are not a local employer here sa PH.

    Ano po kaya pwede gawin?

    Actually that’s a big problem. Maybe bank statements? Which can prove na they are paying you. But i’m not if this would be enough. This is also one thing i considered when i wrote my CDR-RSEA if i could provide all the necessary supporting details and data for each career episodes.

    hi po. ask ko lang po kung pwede po ba ako magpa assessment din ng Civil Engineer na ANZSCO sa engineers australia? positive kaya po? worry kasi ako po na baka di maapprove kasi meron na kong assessment sa Vetassess na Civil Engineer Draftsperson na 8 years positive assessment.

    Interested din sana ako sa Civil Engineer kasi graduate naman ako ng BSCE, with PRC license. kaso lang nasa BIM modeling yung experience ko kasi e kaya sa draftsperson muna ako nagpassess. Meron naman ako 1 year experience as structural engineer. Enough na po kaya para ma positive assessment sa EA? Thanks po..

    Vetassess and EA do not talk to each other. As long as you meet the criteria and submit all relevant documents they ask for, I don’t see why you need to worry about it.

    I always tell my clients to leave that address blank - it’s generic so can be used anywhere. If I was you’re agent I won’t advice to use it for obvious reasons - vetassess isn’t engineers Australia and vice versa. Hope that helps.
