    Hello agents, question, Pwede pa ba mag hire ng service ng agency after na lang ng ITA? Plan ko kasi mag agency after receiving lang ng ITA, o hindi ito normally ginagawa?

    Also, di ko rin sure kung agency nga ba need ko or immigration lawyer na. I think kasi may complicated case ako when it comes to health history - may help ba agency regarding this matter?

    Patulong naman please. I want to do DIY kaya nagbabasa basa ako.

    Sa website ng Vetassess -

    Application Process -
    "Step 1Choose an occupation against which you wish to be assessed and select the visa purpose for which the skills assessment is required. For information on the occupations available for migration to Australia and different visa categories please refer to www.homeaffairs.gov.au"
    --- try ko hinanap ung work ko, occupation or code wla.

    Step 2For information on the ANZSCO description of your chosen occupation, log on to http://www.abs.gov.au and enter the ANZSCO code for your selected occupation.
    -- dito ko nakita job occupation ko http://www.abs.gov.au at may code din, pero walang display ng assessing authority. Enter ko ung code sa Skilled Occupation list wala parin.

    So bakit magkaiba nakadisplay?
    Patulong naman sa nag DIY kung sino naka experience ng ganito.
    Thanks.

    Yung list sa ABS is a comprehensive list of occupations na kasama sa data gathering nila for report purposes. Hindi lahat ng occupations na nakalista doon ay eligible for immigration. ABS is a statistics bureau, parang yung Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA sa atin.

    Yung list ng occupations sa Home Affairs website ang mga occupations that are currently eligible for immigration. Mapapansin mo na yung occupations na nakalista dito may katapat na listahan ng visas that they are eligible for.

    @maguero Kung statistics lang ang ABS bakit nakalink un sa vetassess at may kasama pa na enter your ANZSCO code for selected occupation?

    Example: 7114 Photographic Developers and Printers
    ANZSCO - Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations
    Reference period
    2021

    Skills Assessment Authority
    Caveats No caveats

    Ano ba ibig sabihin ng Caveats? May idea ako pero di ako sure.

    @Janry Have a read through this link. It explains what ANZSCO is for and how it relates to the skilled migration program.

    https://www.abs.gov.au/articles/how-anzsco-works#:~:text=ANZSCO is the skill-based,tenet of Australia's statistical infrastructure.

    In a nutshell, the data and reports from ABS help inform a lot of government decisions, one of which is the occupations that should be included in the skilled migration program.

    Hi guys, magtatanong lang. Pwede ko bang tanggaling ung migration agent ko and mag-continue pa rin sa visa application process ko? Nasa EOI stage pa rin ako. And feeling ko kasi, walang effort ung current migration agent ko. Parang taga file lang ng mga dokumento and wala man lang advantageous advise na binibigay as a migration agent.

    Pwede ko pa rin ba makuha ung account ko sa Skillselect and remove the migration agent, tapos ako na ung magko continue ng application? Or pwede ring lumipat ako sa ibang migration agent?

    Salamat guys sa mga info.

    If your in EOI stage u can either create a new one or get it from them.

    Check mo yung contract mo panu mag cancel ng contract with them.

    Check mo yung contract mo panu mag cancel ng contract with them.

    Be careful of this suggestion. we have a clause in our contract preventing them from doing such without our consent. This is so we avoid the case getting messy.

    Best to always check the contract before doing anything.

    Yes I saw that. I was referring to the EOI suggestion. They might get themselves into breach of contract.

    Hello po, hopefully someone can enlighten me. I am a healthcare worker with an MMI approved nomination from an employer n po.. so they advised me that i can lodge my visa 482 medium term application n po and its up to me if i want a migration agent

    I am not sure if my case is complicated although i think its no but i feel overwhelmed p dn kpg binabasa ko un steps for visa application

    • i have done the skills assessment application on my own, waiting result
    • done pte exam
    • just gathering police clearance from nbi pinas and here from sg which i am still figuring out how ( esp in sg)

    Do you think getting a migration agent is still advisable if i have the capacity to gather the required documents? So bale need ko lng is help to lodge application and professional guidance

    Thanks so much po

    You will still need to gather the required documents, with or without an agent. The main thing, I think, is if you have the time and can make the effort to research yung process from EOI until visa application. Marami ditong SG members na nag-DIY, so kaya naman yan. But if medyo di ka confident, go with an agent if that gives you peace of mind. You can avail the services of an agent for the visa application stage lang din.

    Best of luck!!

    Depends on your capbility dn if you have the time to research and confidence to go for it than you can DIY. But for my case we got an agent to do the filing and other applications. But basically we still did all the document collection, exams and assessments. We got an agent for peace of mind which we did have nman we feel at peace na we’ll not going to mess it up due to technicalities. Actually like any other professionals we’re paying them because of their expertise and specialization. Go with an agent who knows/specialize with handling application with regards to your profession.
