- you have 2 years to lodge your application.
- application process is around 3 months
- normally, you will have max 1 year to make the entry (they based the initial entry deadline from Police Clearance and Medical date + 1 yr)
example:
- you graduated Oct 2011, you have until Sept 2013 to apply
- approved after 3 months, that will be Dec 2013..
- then your intial entry deadline will be Nov 2014

Aba'y naging live-in/kasalan na pala itong thread na ito hehe.
Good luck sa mga 476 applicants! If you do intend to migrate permamently, I'd suggest na basahin niyo rin yung requirements ng 190/189 visa para ready na rin! Honestly it was easier for 476 visa holders nung 2010 and early 2011 to become PR kasi mataas ang points ng skill assessment alone noon. Eh yung sa EA, na-approve sila kahit thesis nila sa college yung CDR nila. Ngayon important na rin yung work experience.

Your initial step is to take the IELTS. You only need at least 6 in all the test modules to qualify for Visa 476. But if you're planning to push through with PR in the future, better get at least 7 or at least 8 in all modules.
Initial documents you need to prepare include TOR, Diploma, English translation ng diploma, birth certificate, and the IELTS results form.
Here's my cost estimate :
IELTS : 9,000 PhP
Visa App Fee : 315$ (approx 15000PhP)
Medical : 6,500PhP
Clearance : 500PhP
Miscellaneous : 5,000PhP
Air Fare : 15,000 PhP
--------------------
PhP 57,000 pre-departure expenses
Back read ka lang masasagot almost all of your questions.

Why 60 points? Please share your computation if you don't mind. Uhm, i am not sure about the NAATI test, but I think IELTS 8.0 is achievable. If you get 20 points from IELTS i don't think you have to take the NAATI test. Mas mahal yata yung NAATI.

other options: a. get IELTS 8.0 = +20
b. NAATI = +5
c. mag asawa ng Skilled din (assessed na din xempre) = +5
so invest na lang ng effort and time to get IELTS 8.0
@fritz: add buffer to airfare. Say, 25k. hehe
