Hello everyone,
Im a Heavy equipment mechanic here in philippines with 3 years experience and was also a 1 year light vehicle mechanic.. Im also planning now to get abroad in Australia either way by Independent skilled visa or Employer sponsored visa? i know po mas ok po Employer sponsored but these past two months I just do a surveyed here in philippines, konti lang nag hhire na agency. So i think to have an option with Independent skilled visa and i have question to ask with you po..
1. with pointing system, what score in ielts should i get? assuming in my career path being a heavy equipment mechanic?
2. is anyone here is working in mining site on any part of australia? and how did you apply?
3. How much should i expect in processing of my application?
4. is my working experience is eligible enough to apply?
Thank you in advance po sa magbibigay po ng advice. God bless po..
