Hi ,i am new to this i wanted to apply for a student visa i have an IELTS of all 7. i am a nurse here in the philippines. i want to know if mas ok ba student visa or working visa? kasi may mga student visa not allowed to work di po b? wat po yung best na visa that i can do the bridging program then work on a specified number of hours din plus i can bring my husband too sana. during the bridging course po i can apply po ba to be assess ng ANMAC after the course then saka po b me makaapply ng PR? thanks i hope all of you can help me what is the best thing to do. the tuition fees expensive even the bond din. worried how to gather that money.

Yukishih

Student visa unless may employer ka na to sponsor you for a working visa. You're allowed to work naman sa student visa. San school mo plan?

japs

Reply to @japs: hi, share ko lang sayo ung nangyari sa bro ko. i hope makatulong sayo. anyway, my brother took up Nursing Conversion Program sa Curtin Uni (nurse din sya sa pinas) last Feb 2011. Two sems sya nag-aral dun. While studying, he was allowed to work 20 hours per week pero kapag naman in between sems, unlimited hours sya sa aged care. When he finished his studies, nagparegister sya sa APHRA. Fortunately, before maglapse yung student visa nya, nakahanap sya ng magbibigay sa kanya ng working visa ngayon lang Jan 2012. He is waiting for his 2nd year para makapag apply na sya ng PR nya.

japs

@sisa16 anong visa apply ng brother mo? nagagency po b sya?hirap kasi with the proof of funds malaki. i want my husband to come with me to help me,magwork sya tapos ako aral and work. para we can get our kids. i hope you can helpme. kasi i dont know if taking the bridging program is under the student visa.

sisa16

student visa ang kinuha ng bro ko.i am not really familiar with bridging visa, i have to read it first. you can go sa www.immi.gov.au.

hindi sya nag agency,sariling lakad nya lahat thought at first, nagpunta sya sa IDP pero hindi sya nagpatulong sa IDP. yung aunt namin na based sa Perth ang nagsponsor sa kanya.. Ung husband mo ba eh magiging dependent mo? If I am not mistaken, he can work pero 40 hours lang yata. Mejo malaki din ang funds na need mo kasi dapat macover nya ung duration ng stay mo dun.

Yukishih

Reply to @japs: Ganito kasi yan para maqualify ka to register as a nurse to aphra you have to yun nga enroll sa bridging course, conversion program, credit prior learning program pareho lang yan lahat nagkakatalo sa length of time. Bridging course 3 mos yata ang shortest at may early exit pa if maganda ang performance mo yun lang ang visa mo dito is short stay you cant tag your husband with you but if registered sa cricos ang school mo student visa ka and puede isama ang dependent mo say La Trobe University in which you have to go through Aphra meaning hintayin mo ang issue nila na eligibility for you to enroll, ganun din sa ibang school who offers bridging course like ACFE, Alpine Health and etc. Deakin University offers bridging course din under cricos yan meron din sila credit prior learning gaya ng inenroll ko which is 1 year. If you want meron sa Adelaide its for 6 mos ang tawag naman nila is IRON program, UNISA ang school. Ang advantage kasi sa student visa yun nga you can work 40 hours per forthnight ganun din ang dependent mo once magcommence ang class mo whereas dun sa short stay for 3 mos hindi walang ganun na priveledge. Shorter course which is bridging program less expensive compared to conversion,credit prior learning at iba na tawag na programs which will last for a year. Yung iba sis kumuha ng 2 years route expensive sya pero mas madami ka option afterwards and time kasi may allowance sa pagbigay ng validity ng visa. Yung short stay business class may possibility na bigyan ka ng no further stay at magahol ka sa oras to look for an employer to sponsor you after finishing your program.
Ang tuition fee ng bridging course(shorter route) sabihin mo ng 10k-15k aus dollars. Sa longer route mas malaki kasi mag aral ka ng 1 or 2 years. Kapag may dependent ka asahan mo mas malaki pa. Isa pa sis if may kids ka wether you are bringing them with you or not isasama mo sila sa computation. Pero puede naman ang show money mo sa relative or friend as long as willing sila and bigay sila ng affidavit of support.
I hope nasagot kita.

i have read in one of the pinoy forums said that CO will going to call for an interview if they are not really satisfied if the student is genuine..is that really true?

Hello everyone. Im a newbie here. Ive been to Sydney & Gold Coast last month for a 2 weeks vacation. My fiancee & I, really enjoyed our stay there & would love to move there early next year po sana. My friends encouraged me to take Nursing coz in demand daw sya sa Aussie & ok ang salary. I'm a tourism grad & been working for almost 5 years dito sa Sg; so, its totally dff kind of field if ever I pursue nursing. I went to IDP Open Day last week, there were dff booths from universities & colleges from dff States of Australia. I've applied at Sydney Technology University for bachelor of Nursing (3yrs) & at Sydney Tafe for Nursing - Enrolled/Division 2 Nursing Diploma Course (1.5yr).

Does anyone familiar to the above mentioned course sa Tafe? If I finish this Diploma course, can I apply for any related nursing job sa Australia, kahit assistant nurse muna? I prefer to take Diploma course muna to have a feel what it feels like to be a nurse. I dont want to base it kc sa mga sinasabi lng ng mga tao, I wanted to have the first hand experience to find out whether nursing is really for me. And besides, its cheaper & shorter compare to Bachelor of Nursing.

Greatly appreciate if you can put your insight in this course. Thank you in advance & God bless u all!

@yukishih nurse din po kau? bridging program po kau sa deakin? what po kinuha nyo? di ko po makita yung related sa bridging program.yung course po doon bachelor in nursing. medyo like ko n po kasi magstart kasi sayang IELTS ko ayoko n po magtake ulit.

sunshine

Reply to @noynoy: yep, if ever there is something with the application that they need to clarify. Like in my case, med tech grad ako but ang kukunin ko na course sa oz ay hospitality management. she wanted to know why ang layo ng kukunin kong course.

sisa16

Reply to @sunshine: hi sis, any update on your visa application? granted na ba?

and if it is okay with you, ano ang sagot mo sa Question ng CO na bakit malayo ang kukunin mong course?

Yukishih

Reply to @japs: Yep, im a nurse. I took the bachelor of nursing - credit prior learning which will run for a year. Anung gusto mo yung 1 year ba? Ganito gawin mo sis, send your documents na sa aphra since yung ielts mo ayos na tapos enroll ka na sa school check mo ETEA if they dont require eligibility from aphra enroll ka na para pagrelease ng eligibility mo tapos ka na ng bridging then submit mo yung certification that you completed the course na then wait mo na lang reg mo.

japs

ETEA po ba means Education, training & employment australia? sige po check ko kasi yun walalabas ng bridging program.mayhinahabol kasi kami na reassessment from ANMAC 2 yrs yung validity kaya need ko mabilis lang po so bridging program po kukunin ko. hahanapp poako ng sobrang laki funds for DIAC requirements.

Yukishih

Yes. Click mo admission tab nila. Or you might also want to try to email [email protected]. Ibang institution yan who offers bridging course din.

question lang po re: CTC: Ayoko pong magkamali kasi ipapauwi ko lang sa Pinas yung mga documents ko para ipanotaryo at ipapadala dito ulit. In short, mejo mahal po.hehehe. ANyway, kasi when I was checking the websites of the Universities I want to apply, kahit initial assessment, they want na notarized/certified yung documents. Marami silang sinabi like it should have the stamp,name,signature,address,phone number of the person to notarize and it should also have a sentence like this, "this is the certified true copy of..." Talaga po bang ganun ang kailangan? YUng mga nag apply na, kailangan po talaga na ganun ang ilagay na info sa certified true copy documents nila? When I was in the Phils kasi before, stamp, sign lang ang ginagawa nila eh. That was like 4 years ago pa po..

Yukishih

Reply to @sisa16: Yes, sis. Ganun talaga. Nung nagsubmit ako nilagay lahat ng details na yan.

sunshine

Reply to @sisa16: hello, yes visa granted. will be leaving this friday. I just answered her na even if medical technology graduate ako, never ko napractice ang course ko. Base sa employment history ko, customer service industry ang napasukan ko so I chose a course na gusto ko talaga.
