Medyo malayo sa topic pasensya na po.
I'm a B.S. Civil Engineering graduate sa Philippines pero ang field ko is structural engineering. I have 7 years work experience (Phi & abroad). Napansin ko medyo matagal, mahirap at magastos ang pag-process ng visa pag Skilled Migrant. Usually pag engineers ang hinahanap sa mga pinoy skilled migrants is "local experience". Tingin ko by "local experience" they mean knowledge about Australian Design Codes (one of the requirements).
Naisip ko, mag-aral muna sa Au ng Diploma Course like Advanced Structural Engineering then habang nag-aaral try maghanap ng employers na mag-sponsor ng work visa. Tingin ko mas madaling makahanap ng employers na mag-sponsor o ng work na related sa experience ko kasi magkakaruon na ako ng in-depth knowledge sa Australian Code.
Tanong lang po. May nakagawa na ba nito (either ibang profession or kapareho ko ng work experience?).

am from CDO also. We applied for my son's Astralian student visa thru IDP Cebu (FREE walang bayad!).
Here's their website: http://www.philippines.idp.com/contact_us_old/cebu.aspx
You don't have to go to Cebu. We communicated thru phone and email. We just send to them all necessary document thru courier.

question:
@logic420 @beaj
totoo ba yung new proposal na one is eligible for post work visa after bachelers or masters degree? one year lang kasi the masters that i will be taking up kasi sobrang mahal.
-----------
and correct ko lang misconception @logic420
there are 2 kinds of masters, coursework and research
pag coursework, 40 hours per fortnight pa rin the work hours
pag research lang po unlimited number of hours
