Yukishih

jojit05

Ganun.nku i hope d mangyari smin ang ganyan..san school m?sydney ka din?

@Yukishih I have finished my diploma in engineering in TAFE and then continue my degree. To be honest you don't need to bring stuffs from phils. Lol. sa mga pagkain kung anong meron tayo jan meron din dito. heheheh. Ang need mo ay lakas ng loob at bawal ma homesick un lang. hehehhe.

@jojit05 when I graduated from my engineering I've applied for PR but unfortunately I haven't met all the qualifications. To be honest guys it is not easy to get PR here even you finished 2 years study here in oz. I will give you some idea.

after 2 years study you are eligible to apply for 485 visa which is Graduate Skilled Visa(temp visa only for 18months) this is the time na mkahanap ka ng full time job or sponsorship kung swertehin ka.

there is new government proposal to DIAC and might be implemented early 2013 na if you have enrolled in any Australian universities on or after March 2012 you are eligible to have 2 years post working visa if you have finished bachelor and then 3 years kapg Masteral.

Yukishih

@logic420 thank you. Pano yon 1 year lang ako. Takot naman ako.

jojit05

@logic420 thnx ng madami.uu nga panu mga years of schooling namin.to be honest i know u know na ang target namin is to be citizen together with my family even wer just making this student visa as a bridge. Im taking 3 years course bachelor of bussiness and commerse major in accounting. Correct me if im wrong po,ive heard na pag ur done with the 3 years course they will give u another 2 years,but i dont know wat they called it po.is it true po ba?@Yukishih matatapos kna ba sa 1years course m? Salamt madami

Yukishih

Yes,1 year lang duration ng course ko. Ewan if im qualified for the bridging visa.

jojit05

@Yukishih kailan matatapos ang 1year m? Pwede kng mag upgrade ng course right?san school m?

logic420

@Yukishih what course mo? my suggestion is continue it to degree and make sure na wala kang 8535 condition because usually kpag 1 year course study you are not allowded to apply or lodge onshore for the further study.

logic420

@jojit05 Hi jojit yes student visa is one of the pathway. I know jan sa atin the agents will tell you na "yes after 2 years study here in oz you are able to get PR" but behind of that there are more requirements. "2years of study is one of the basic requirements lang". If you finished diploma only you need to have higher qualifications jan sa aten with relevant experiences. Depende pa rin un sa course and career na gusto mo. If you want professional careers like IT, accounting etc you need to finished degree here. Yan ung minimum requirements na d2 and it is better from Australian universities ka graduate. If skilled nmn like certificates or diploma that is enough as long as you have supporting experiences.

And Yes it is correct if you have finished any degree courses in any Australia universities you are eligible to get 2 years working visa.

jojit05

Thnx s much @logic420. Ask k lng ur wrkng while studyng tama po b? Ahh ask ko lng po and help me rin po. Goes like this po. Student me, 3 years course bachelor busness and commerse major in acounting tuition fee 10000 aus per sem. If mag work ko able ko po ba makayan ko mabayaran ang tuition fee ko by myself po ba?and roughly how much po ang bayaran pag part time wrk.the lowest,middle and highest po? C husband po ay follow nlng kc kailangan nya rin mag keep pa ng money for us.Sory so much question po kc just want to know all things sayu,because i know that im just gonna start plng and kyu po ay well experince na po sa lhat.

Yukishih

@logic420 Deakin University po. I enrolled Bachelor of Nursing and for 1 year ko na lang sya makikuha kasi credited po yung ibang subjects ko dito sa Pilipinas.

logic420

@jojit05 Hi jojit, sorry for the late reply. Which state ka ba bound?Depdende kasi sa work and state ang rates nila d2. Usually kpag d2 sa sydney $18 p/h with tax if u are looking for an office job work. Pero its not easy to get job here sa office kpag wla kang local experience and especially student visa ka lang. Normally they dont accept student visa. Kaya karamihan d2 nghhnap ng mga hotel jobs like cleaning etc and kpag nkaswerte ka ng boss na mabait they will look after u. To be honest to earn and save 10k for ur tuition fee every sem is very hard by urself lang especially if u will pay all ur expenses like accomodation,food and allowance. Kung ako sau bring ur husband with u so he can lwork while u are studying at the same time. Did u get ur timerable na ba? Uni ka ba or college? If uni ka very flexible sila hndi sila mahigpit sa attendance unlike colleges attendance are compulsory for them.

logic420

@Yukishih hi Yukishih good on u! Nursing is very in demand tlaga d2 I have friends na nagwowork sila sa mga nursing homes while studying and they're making good money. Even lumalampas sila sa 20hrs restriction. Lol.

jojit05

@logic240 UWS po school ko.university of western sydney.thnx po s information youve given.so at list i will have some idea wat will happen or to expect.question again po.ahh mahihirapan po ba kyu c husbamd makahanap ng work dyn defendent k sya and the thing po is he got visible tattoo meaning po he got tattoo whole arms.is it ok po ba?he will work any kind of work and he is so willing to do everything to help me finish my schooling and bring our son. We only have determination with us.and tama po ba defendent can work until 40hrs?thnx po so much s mga information uve provided po.

Yukishih

@logic420 wow, thank you po.

logic420

@jojit05 hi jojit dont worry about sa tattoo ni hubby mo tattoo is a kind of fashion here. Wlang pkialam mga tao d2 as long as ur hubby will do everything any kinds of works. Sa una tlaga u will experience lahat ng hirap. But still ganyan tlaga sa una kya tiis tiis lng. Yea for subclass 572 and 573 ur dependent can work 40 hrs fortnightly meaning in the first week he can work 30hrs and then the 2nd week is 10hrs only.(40hrs with tax) But dont worry my mga generous boss d2 na they will tax u 40hrs forthnight but the rest are cash on hand(under the table, hihihihi) alam na nila ang mga kalakaran ng students d2. Hehehh.

logic420

And for the subclass 574 (masters) dependent and primary applicant are no work restrictions. Work as u can ika nga nila! Hehehhe

logic420

My family ba kau d2 na tutuluyan? San ka bang suburbs? D2 sa aussie lahat mggawa mo bsta masipag at matyaga lang. IELTS is the same here (always writing sumasabit) lol! Hehehh. Good luck sa IELTS po. Pero some of my friends hndi na cla nag IELTS jan san aten they took the english program here for 3-6weeks. Everything is possible basta my tyaga un nga lng tlagang dadaan sa hirap, sanay nmn ang mga pinoy dun dba? Hehehhe.

ljust

Yan din ang problema ko eh yang how to be a PR after 2 yrs. I didn't know na you can get 3 more years after you take a master's degree here. If only I knew that before, I should've continued on with my master's in UTS. But oh well, there's no room for regrets, at least I'm here na. Aral nalang ng aral hanggang sa masponsor! LOL

Some colleges are lenient naman, like mine! Sobrang dali, sobrang relax! Para ngang that's your rest time na eh after all the work you've done for the week.

jojit05

@logic420 my relatives kmi sa ausie kso ayaw namn umasa s knla.lam m naman,onti pride because we dont want in the end they will tell some negative to us.me and my hubby trying to anticipate this all expenses.thats why with all the info and tips uve given to me much a lot to us.and maybe thats the reason n mauuna ako then sunod c hubby.ask k lng po is it possible na i can earn there in oz doing part time the tuition fee i need to pay per sem.and the rest of expenses my hubby will do like rental food and baon. Thats why na maiiwan sya s pinas and maybe follow up nlng.is it good idea po or mas maganda sabay? Salamt po ulit
