    Also, for 476 Visa, do we still need to get the CFO registration/stamp? Thanks!

    P.S. may alert ba un forum sa e-mail if may updates sa discussion? :)

    No. The CFO stamp is required for PR visa holders.

    Hello ka-476ers!

    Sa mga may grant na ng visa 476, ano na ang next plan natin?? Paano tayo makakakuha ng PR visa? Kindly share your insights please para alam nating kung anu-ano ang mga pwede nating gawin para ma-achieve yun. hehe
    I've been thinking about getting the PR visa.I am aiming for visa 189. On top of my list is to get the EA registration. Any thoughts?

    Since this visa is for recognised graduates, can we claim the 15 points for educational qualification when we apply for PR?

    most definitely yes... graduates of Section 1 schools (like UP) have degrees equivalent to AQF Bachelor degree...

    but to be sure, include the educational qualification in your assessment. (this is separate fee for EA assessment).. this will be your proof for claiming 15 pts,

    Thanks @lock_code2004 for the quick response. Is there a separate assessing body for this? How do we include this in the assessment?

    @iammaxwell1989 - nope.. same for engineers...it will be EA..

    so if you check EA's website:
    - standard fee for skills assessment (requires CDR) + assessment of your education qualification (up to Bachelors degree)
    - additional fee, if you want your PhD to be assessed for claiming EOI pts
    - separate fee if you want to have assessment of work experience (depends on how many jobs or companies you want to be assessed) for claiming EOI pts for related work exp.

    @lock_code2004 Thanks. Regarding the first bullet point, does this also mean that you'll get 15 points for educational qualification (Bachelors degree) and additonal (5?) points for skills assessment? Or yung 15points na yun?

    @rob Hi rob. Yes I got the job. But I still have on-going applications. I would say its much better now prolly because of the local experience. :)

    @freshmaker What I do is I explain the visa I have, the expiry, the work rights, and when I am planning to get the PR visa. I think this is especially helpful for jobs that are contract based (i.e. less than 18 months contract).

    If you get rejected for being a temporary resident, I would say it still saves you time on having to go to an interview and learning that the job is for PR residents only. Just my opinion.

    @rob In 4 months, and out of 250+ applications, I had 5 interviews for engineering related jobs. That's 4 face to face and 1 phone interview.

    What I noticed about the interviews I had is that they ask me point by point what experience I have on a certain task. Questions like, "What experience you have on job description #1, #2, #3?", and some other variants of the question.

    Sa opinyon ko, maganda na basahin maigi yung job description, at magisip ng experience na pwede mong ikwento at irelate sa bawat 'job responsibility' at 'skill requirement'.

    Good luck sa job hunt everyone! :)

    What I noticed about the interviews I had is that they ask me point by point what experience I have on a certain task. Questions like, "What experience you have on job description #1, #2, #3?", and some other variants of the question.

    Sa opinyon ko, maganda na basahin maigi yung job description, at magisip ng experience na pwede mong ikwento at irelate sa bawat 'job responsibility' at 'skill requirement'.

    This is a helpful tip iammaxwell1989. Nasa Oz na nga rin pala ako since sept 2. Tourist mode muna as of now while looking for job prospects and making connections.

    How's it going with your PR application? And by the way, can we apply for a bridging visa if in case we're still not granted with the PR visa when 476 expires?

    @dominick Someone correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, a bridging visa will be issued once you lodge an application for a new visa. The bridging visa has the rights and restrictions of the current substantive visa.

    Good luck sa application pre.

    @dhey_almighty Sa mga engineering applications ko wala naman sir. Pero dun sa mga odd job applications ko naghahanap sila certificate pag tinawagan ka pa lang. In my case naghahanap sila food handler cert dahil apply din ako as kitchen assistant.
