Hi. I graduated BS Civil Engineering last 2021. Because of the pandemic I ended up staying in bpo (working student since 2019).
I'm planning to migrate in Australia as soon as possible. I have siblings working in Australia as Mech engg, and I have cousin working as doctor (they migrated with their family and they are already resident).
What do you guys think will be the quickest way I can take? Is there a way for me to enter Australia as a worker, or is it better to go as a student first and work my way up?
I am thinking if it is possible to take short courses like masterplumbing cause the school fees for bachelor's degree are expensive. Or Is it better to take batchelor' degree right away and just find scholarship?
I would appreciate any thoughts that you can share. As of the moment, meron lang ako na 3 years bpo experience, and of course lakas ng loob.
Everything is new to us because my siblings already have experience when they moved to Australia.
Thank you again and more power to all of you 😀😀

If you are looking to migrate as a CE, then you'd be competing with those who have work experience (whether overseas or onshore/Australian), as they may have higher points under the skilled migration system. Generally people want to get onshore as soon as possible to get the opportunity to work in Australia (while waiting to get an ITA), as it is very competitive nowadays (you need high points to get invited).
Which uni did you graduate from for your CE degree? I've met a few UP engineering grads who were able to come to Australia on a 476 visa. If you qualify for that visa, that might be the easiest/fastest way to get onshore without having to spend money to study here.
If you don't qualify for 476 visa, then student visa might be a potential option. But instead of doing another bachelor's degree, maybe opt for master's degree as it is shorter (2 year master vs 3 years bachelor). However, uni tuition is very pricey (expect to pay AUD 35-50k per year, depending on which uni you go to), along with cost of living.
As far as I know, the term "master plumbing" is not used here, but if you are looking to venture into trades, then you'd be looking at doing Certificate III in Plumbing. Going into trade means you'd need to do apprenticeship at some point, and that could take up to 4 years (at least according to TAFE website). If you will be studying on a student visa, your program needs to be CRICOS-registered, so enrolling in short courses will not make you eligible for a student visa.
Do some research on whether pursuing a trade qualification would be better for you (there's high demand but low supply) or if you want to stick to engineering/design (very competitive to get ITA).

Try to post in the Working and Skilled Visas thread. There's someone in the forum who graduated as an engineer in the Philippines and got a successful skills assessment from EA before he moved to Australia on a student visa just to increase his points. He didn't have any work experience in the Philippines. If I remember correctly, he was invited for a 190 or 491 visa afterwards. He also has family in a regional area, so he might’ve gotten a family sponsored 491. He might be able to give you some insights since your cases have some similarities.
