Hi to all members here. Hope someone will help. I'm just new here to this forum. Let me start it by my name, My name is Jolito but you can call me "Jo" I'm 23 yrs of age living in Cebu and I'm a father of 1 kid. I badly want to go to Australia but i don't know where should i start .I have a lot of questions and concern about on going Australia . They said that student visa is the easiest way to get PR then I ask to myself if it's worth it. Like, to be honest i skip school during my college days till now i wasn't able to finish my studies. My questions are, Is it okay to get agents/consultancy or is it better to get touch to school directly ? because my close friend taught me that Lawson college would have an orientation to get some new student this year. And do you have any feedbacks about to that school ? Or is there any better school ? Also, they suggest to get course which is aligned to your course here but the thing is IT course isn't available to Lawson and i really hate IT LOL . Is it possible to get another course ? I want to get culinary or any course related to cooking. Do you have any schools to suggest ? if not , Do you have any consultation agency to suggest ? My main target is to have PR. Any suggestion or advice will do.THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    kung hindi mo magagawan ng paraan yan, hindi ka ma-aassess para makapag claim ka ng points for education at work experience.

    since 23 ka palang, hindi mo maclaim ung max 30 points dahil nasa 25-32 yrs old so isipan mo ng paraan kung pano mo matatapos yung education mo. kapag hindi tlaga pwedeng matapos ang education, kalimutan mo na ang PR path sa AU dahil walang kasiguraduhan ang student visa para maging PR ka sa AU.

    @villamjo2 try mo consult sa mga agency like AECC. Free assessment naman sila. Kung gusto mo magcookery, take ka ng diploma.

    Much better kung ifamiliarize mo muna sarili mo sa pointing system nila for PR skilled nomination, para alam mo kung ilan ang points na pwede mo iclaim. Then saka ka magproceed if you think student visa is the best pathway for your PR. Icheck mo kung ano yung mga reqs ng assessing body of your nominated skill. Some requires a work xp and a certain degree. familiarize mo din muna sarili mo sa requirements ng skill na inonominate mo para mas makapagdecide ka kung worth it mag student visa.

    @villamjo2 Bro I am from Cebu but I am currently in the US. if you have enough dough madali lang makapag apply ng student Visa. Nursing Assistant ako dito sa US. Mag apply ako ng student visa sa AU. Central Melbourne Institute yung school $7k AUD and tuition, Course: Massage therapist, duration nya is 52 weeks. You only have to pay $1,500 AUD + Material Fee $500 + Application Fee $250 AUD para mabigyan ka ng invitation. after ko mag massage therapist mag aral ako ng nursing.

    Make sure bro nasa occupation list nila yung pag aralan mo para hindi sayang pera at oras.

    Asa ka sa Cebu brad?

    @villamjo2 Agree ako sa comments dito. Kailangan mo ng educational qualification para maging PR. Kung undergrad ka dito sa atin pwede ka naman mag-aral sa AU para makatapos. Pero aralin mo ng maigi yung requirements para ma-invite mag-apply ng PR visa. May mga occupations na kailangan ng Bachelor's Degree at meron naman occupations na okay na ang Diploma. Kailangan yung aaralin mo sa AU ay para sa occupation na pwede for PR at kailangan yung magiging qualification mo, kung Bachelor's Degree or Diploma course, ay tugma sa requirements para sa occupation mo. Meron din occupations na kailangan may related work experience ka after graduation para ka makakuha ng positive skills assessment. So icoconsider mo rin yun.

    pwede kang magfinish ng studies dun kaso walang guarantees un na magiging PR ka. ang end goal mo ay maging PR dun pero basahin mo news sa AU, madaming students ang hindi makakuha ng Pr.

    mas mabilis ka pang magiging PR kapag skilled visa ang applyan mo.

    I'll give you my insight. Kaka grad ko lang nung 2017 and I wanted to migrate din asap. Eto thoughts ko:

    1. Make sure na meron kang way na makakuha ng positive assessment kasi kahit anong aral mo sa aus pero wala kang way makakuha ng assessment, sayang lang pera at oras. Im an engineer at thankfully di need ng work exp para makakuha ng positive assessment. Alam ko pag IT field need ng at least 2 yrs
    2. I plan to study sa aus for the +5 pts na makukuha after 2 yrs. I chose the cheapest option I could find kasi feel ko masyadong impractical ang masters since may positive assessment na ako.
    3. In 2 years time, hopefully no changes, plano ko na mag apply ng PR. By then sana kayanin ko umabot ng 75 (30 pts age, 20 pts english ,15 pts degree sa pinas, 5 pts au study, 5 pts naati).

    Mas pinili ko nalang mag aral sa aus kesa dito because to get 5 pts sa experience, need ng 3 yrs work compared sa 5 pts din pag nag study ka dun ng 2 yrs. May relatives naman ako and feel ko mas makakaipon ako dun kesa dito, wala pa stress ng traffic. Bottom line is, dapat alam mo na end goal mo bago mo simulan ang pag gastos ng pera. Mahirap kasi na gusto mo lang dun makapunta ASAP pero di ka sure ano ending na mangyayari sayo. All the best!

    Hi Guys.. My name is Karen.. If anyone is interested in studying or thinking of migrating to Australia, you can private message me.. I work at RACC Australia.. It's an Education and Migration Agency based in Melbourne. We can help you with your student visa application.. No service fee.. And free initial consultation for Temporary and Permanent visa applications.. Sabihin nyo lang what you need and I'm willing to help you find the best course or pathway..

    A little background about me.. I came to Sydney in 2006 on a student visa.. After 2 years of studies, I applied for my Permanent Residency under Skilled Migration.. My PR was granted on March 2012.. Ung sister ko and brother also came here on student visas.. My sister in March 2008 and ung brother ko nung December 2012.. Lahat kami Permanent na dito sa Australia.. Kaya alam ko ang hirap at sakripisyo ng mga international students.. Hindi lang pera ang iniinvest kundi pati oras at effort and time away from family.. Kaya I want to help those that needs assistance as I was once in your position.
