anu po sa tingin ninyu may chance pa rin po ba mabigyan ng invitation sa ganitong visa class?
binasa ko po na mas madali ang needed requirements ng RSMS especially thru direct entry scheme at tugma po sa qualifications ko. kaya lng nabasa ko dun eh nde puede sa major cities ng australia tumira like sydney, brisbane, melbourne etc. nde po kaya kung sakali ma.aaprove na ang visa eh sa gubat po itatapon yun under sa RSMS (
i need some insights po.. TIA

Tutal po naka pag lodge na ata kayo ng EOI, I would advise that you go ahead and start collecting the necessary documents and completing the requirements (skills assessment, IELTS all 7, etc)
Skills assessment lang naman yung matagal kaya simulan niyo na kaagad Saka magbasa po kayo nung bridging assessment para sa nursing kasi pagdating niyo ng Australia alam ko dadaan pa kayo sa konting accreditation.

so u mean sir i can still be given an invitation even if may 6 yun IELTS ko tsaka wala pa akung skills assessment? kc nkalagay sa DIRECT SCHEME ENTRY under Regional sponsor 187 na pede IELTS all 6. tsaka needed yun certificate of employment.
yun skills assessment tska IELTS 7 needed siya for APHRA for nurses? sana po may nurse dito na mkapagcomment kc nde ko po talaga alam process for australia. nde ko din po afford maghire pa ng agent.
lastly po sir lokiJR, sa tingin nyu po san mga cities sa australia puede under REGIONAL SPONSOR? OMG nde po kaya sa TASMANIA itatapon? di bah andun si tazmanian devil
Godbless everyone...TIA.

In your case po, I would probably start with the skills assessment since nurses do need an IELTS of 7 and above...dun sa Regional Sponsorship, alam ko kayo pipili e so best that you look it up in the internet and see which regions are open for sponsorship

Try nyo pa po ibang visa types... Bsta kelangan ang IELTS ay 6 pa rin, minimum requirement ata to for GSM applicants.
Re-assess kung san pa kayo pde magkapoints. Minimum is 60 points before you can file an EOI.

IELTS at tsaka Skills Assessment ay pre-requisite bago makapag submit ang EOI sa skills select tama ba?

Nakapagbasa-basa na ako ng ilang araw. Pero meron pa ring di malinaw sa akin.
Pwede pa rin akong maghire ng walang nai-lodge sa skillselect, right? Ganun ba sa employer nominated scheme? Kasi balak ko sanang mag-upload ng resume sa seek.com.au at mag-apply.
At habang nag-aapply-apply ako ilalakad ko na rin IELTS ko at yung assessment sa Engineers Australia.
Sana tama ang gagawin ko, o may mas magandang paraan pa?
