    Reply to @Metaform: ano po ba implication ng occupation ceiling? Yun ba yung number of people na ia-approve lang nila. So halimbawa kami 7740 ang OC.
    Ang laki ng allotment sa RNs, Accountants, Electricians...

    When this limit is reached, no further invitations for that particular occupation group will be issued for that program year. Invitations would then be issued to other EOIs who have nominated available occupations even if they are lower ranking. For the state and territory nominated visas, a state or territory will not be able to nominate you if your nominated occupation has reached its occupation ceiling.
    Kung ano yung ceiling, yun lang ang iinvite nila for 2012-2013. So sa dinami-dami ng kapareho kong job code sa mundo, 1740 lang ang iinvite nila. Wow.

    same here nalungkot ako na 480 lng ang ceiling ng electronics engineer.
    anyway if God wants us to go to australia khit di nila kailangan skill ntin
    God will surely make a way far better than we think.
    Godbless sa ating lahat!

    Try to amass as much as 65 or 70 points. Leave an EOI then forget about it. Mag-aral na lang ulit or kumuha ng bagong hobby to take the mind off of this. Yun ang gagawin ko para hindi ako masyadong mag-worry. Baka one morning may invitation na sa email. Ang mahalaga you have one foot at the door already.

    Reply to @Metaform: Oo nga.. Basta move forward lang, I'm sure ibibigay ni God kung ano ung para sau. Why not try to improve on you ielts? Malaki points din pangdagdag yun. Wala pa din pala result ung Vic SS mo. D bale pag naapprove un, sure na ung invitation diba? Ang tagal nga ng processing ng Victoria SS. Kaya yung sken di ko na hinintay eh.

    Goodluck po sau. :)

    Reply to @angel4ever: This week na lalabas yung remarking result ko. Fingers and legs crossed na sana maibigay yung additional 0.5 sa Speaking ko. As for Victoria SS, I doubt na magre-release sila ng invites same way as before dahil they have to abide by the occupation ceiling din. Anyway, bahala na si Bruce Wayne.

    @ Metaform...yung date ang problema ko...kasi puro certification yun at wala talagang mga formal na trainings. Usually due to the nature of my work di na ako nadaan ng training derecho exam for the certification.

    Good someone mentioned about the occupation ceiling...medyo nakaka-walang gana yung figures para sa iba sa atin pero bottomline is...na-rerefresh naman yan every 2 months so basta pigain natin lahat ng points na puwede nating kunin, makukuha rin tayo eventually hehe

    Nagulat ako may demand na sila para sa "call center agents" a...so good news din yan sa ating mga kababayan :)

    Hi guys. I'm not sure kung tama ba 'tong thread na pagtatanungan ko.
    I'm very much interested to work and live in ANZ but I don't know where to start.
    To give you a background, I'm turning 33 years old this year and my work experiences are as follows:
    Printer Technical Support Engineer (Distributor side under Xerox Middle East, Dubai, UAE)
    October 2007 - January 2011
    Printer Service Support Engineer (Fuji Xerox Philippines, Inc.)
    November 2011 - Present

    My Uncle is living in Sydney (permanent resident) which I can also ask for assistance if any.
    And by the way, I just recently finished my B.S. Computer Science course at AMA Computer University last year of October 2011. Meaning to say, I'm an undergraduate when I was working in Dubai.
    Appreciate all your comments. Thank you.

    Sir @xnaldx, basa-basa ka muna sa TRA Australia for your skills assessment as an ICT Technician nec or Hardware Technician. Kapag nakapag-apply ka na ng assessment, review ka na sa IELTS. Then kapag nakuha mo na pareho yung results ng assessment and IELTS, lodge an EOI.

    Sadly, hindi na pwedeng mag-sponsor yung uncle mo because Sydney is not a designated area.

    Good luck.

    hi there.. I just want to clarify something from DIAC's post.

    Changes to the Skilled Migration Pass Mark for SkillSelect Visas – 15 June 2012

    The department, has announced a change to the points test pass mark for skilled migrants who submit an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect.

    From 1 July 2012, the points test pass mark for points tested skilled migration visas invited through SkillSelect (subclasses 189, 190 and 489) will be 60 points.

    di ba binabaan nila ang points sa visa 190 to 60 points, pero bakit po sa booklet 6 is 65 points pa rin ang nakalagay. pag naka 60 points ba ako pwede na akong mag EOI. thanks for any clarifications in here.

    Reply to @delreno: hello, ang pagkaka intindi ko po dyan sa changes ng pass mark na 60 ay alinsunod dun sa pagbabago ng mga code ng visa n pwede i-apply. dati kasi meron difference ang mga visa code depende sa kung saan k naglodge ng application m. meron kasi in and out of Australia. Pro, effective July 1 tinanggal n ung difference na un. Regardless kung saan k nagpa lodge ay pareho na ang visa code. Kaya ung 60 points ngaun ay applicable dun sa bago nila pinapatupad n visa codes, ung 65 naman ay dun sa mga dati ng nakapagpalodge ng application gamit ung former visa codes na hanggan ngaun ay hindi pa rin decided.

    To simply put, lahat po ng mga nagpalodge ng application before July 1, 65 points ang pass mark, then un mga magpapalodge starting July 1 onwards ay 60 points na po ang pass mark.

    i hope na clarify ko po sau ung question m. :)
