pati SS meron na ring limit, why oh why? Pati po ba ibang states kaya meron nito
Limit on State Sponsorship nominations for July 6 July 2012
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has allocated Western Australia a limited number of nominations for State Sponsorship through SkillSelect in the month of July.
Once this limit has been reached, outstanding applications for State Sponsorship will be held until more places become available.
If you have lodged an application under transitional arrangements, this limit will not apply and applications will be assessed as normal.

@baronann : looks like they're eliminating the loopholes that can happen with the new skill select policy. kasi malamang madami magpapa-SS to get ahead. mas mabuti talaga na magapply ng maaga bago masarahan dahil sa SS limit and/or occupation ceiling.

Quick question lang po mga bossing about sa occupational ceiling from a newbie in this forum: Ang occupational ceiling number po ba ay pwede mag bago? Will it change anytime or it will change only after one year? If the occupational ceiling for a particular skill was consumed already mga ilang years bago ito mag reset uli?...thanks...
hotshotSydney Posts: 1,643Member Joined: Nov 10, 2011
mukang mahirap po natin masabi kung magbabago within the year kasi parang yan ang plan nila for the year e. saka first time nila ito gagawin kaya lahat tayo bago pa sa ganitong policy nila. let's just wait and see.

@RichardQ, that's changed every year...inaanounce siya ng DIAC. So kung napuno na ang ceiling sa taong ito...apat na possibilities lang mangyayari next year: (1) tataasan nila; (2) liliitan nila yung ceiling lalo; (3) walang pagbabago; (4) tatanggalin yung occupation na yun sa migration list (yikes)
Off-topic, kailangan siguro natin palitan yung title ng thread tutal iba na ang visa class ng state sponsorship ngayon (hindi na 176) hehe

@Captain_A : i would think na strict po sila kasi kelangan mo din isubmit ang skills assessment results sa SS application nyo. dun sa skills assessment (atleast for ACS), nakalagay dun ang mga credited working years and months mo. so from there pa lang, makikita nila agad kung ilan talaga ang working experience mo. if there's one thing i've learned about my oz visa application, strict sila sa documents/evidences you provided to prove everything that you are claiming in your application.

Reply to @Captain_A: saan nyo po ba balak magapply ng state sponsorship? kung libre naman sa state na gusto nyo applyan ng sponsorhip, baka pwede nyo din subukan. kaso based on my experience, talagang sinusunod nila kung ano man ang requirements na defined sa state nila. antay natin yung iba dito sa forum baka meron silang maipayo.
wala pa po ako sa oz e. nagaantay pa din sa FBI Clearance ng wife ko. yun na lang kulang namin.

Reply to @Captain_A: i suggest, i check mo lahat ng possibilities kung saan ka pwede.. first kung ang assessing authority will qualify you sa experience mo na 2yrs, then secondly, kung aling visa ang pwede, kung aling state ang acceptable ang experience mo..
kung pwede nmn yan, why don't you try..

Reply to @Captain_A: Have you checked WA immigration site?
parang wla akong nabasang min years of experience required... at kung sa Engrs Aus ka magpapa-assess, wala din nmn akong nabasang min years required.. in fact you can use you school thesis to demonstrate your skills sa CDR..
another note, DIAC will award points for work experience (3yrs = 5pts), and this is at the time of invitation, so kung magapply ka ngaun, at mainvite ka next year na 3 yrs na work exp mo, you will have that 5 pts na..

Hi guys tanong ko lang - i am eligible for state sponsorship but 55 points lng kasama ung sponsor, kailangan ko bang abutin muna ang 60 points bago mg apply for state sponsorship? Thanks.
glaiza1210Sydney Posts: 314Member Joined: Mar 22, 2012
@teddy yes you need at least 60 points to get a state sponsorship visa. Hindi nmn kailang 60 points agad pag nag apply ka ng state sponsorship. At 55 points without the nominated state sponsorhip points is ok.

parang wla akong nabasang min years of experience required...
at kung sa Engrs Aus ka magpapa-assess, wala din nmn akong nabasang min years required.. in fact you can use you school thesis to demonstrate your skills sa CDR..
another note, DIAC will award points for work experience (3yrs = 5pts), and this is at the time of invitation, so kung magapply ka ngaun, at mainvite ka next year na 3 yrs na work exp mo, you will have that 5 pts na..
