marcopolo

@cucci yan nga plan kong gawin magpasa2 na agad while doing the BP. Anong visa pala inapply mo non? Kung business visa ka, nung nakahanap ka ng employer bali umuwi ka after 3months then nag ayos kana lang dito sa pinas ng sponsorship visa?

@drnc_13 full naraw sa SCU ang second intake nila. Naghahanap pako ulit ng ibang school na 6months visa iaapply sa immigration.

KevinDavidson

nagemail na nga din sa akin SCU, full nga nga din daw but still tinutuloi ko ung application ko with them, baka (In Jesus name) maisingit ako sa session 2...
Try Lonsdale, Monash and ACN....

Visitor 600 Business Stream. After BP uwi muna kse natagalan ang release ng ANMAC registration... saka sa Sydney office ako nagsubmit. Yung ibang kasabay ko na sa Perth nag submit, less than 2 week lang registered na.

Nasa pinas na ako nung ma-release ang registration certificate ko. Inform ko kaagad yung HR coordinator ng prospective employer para ma-lodge nila ang sponsorship sa 457. Then balik akong Au kse ang advice medyo mas mabilis ang processing pag onshore ang applicant. Lodged my 457 counterpart ng 1st week of Dec... at dahil holiday break second week of Jan na na-grant yung 457 ko.

KIKO

@KevinDavidson - thank you sa timelines

77 days from 5th October --> 21st Dec.

Noon ipinadala mo yung docs mo last 29th Sep bale hindi ka pa din nagrequest ng COGS?

kami kasi nauna yung COGS from PRC ng few days (mga around Jan 8) and then yung agos40 around Jan 11..

GodBless good luck po sa school..

KevinDavidson

@KIKO yup... nauna AGOS ko bago COGS...
may consultancy/agency ka ba?

pag meron ka na nung extension letter mabilis nalang un. ung iba kong kakilala 3-5 days after extension letter may Letter of Referral na. ung isa umaga nareceive ung extension email, hapon may referral na...

try to scout school na din and finish their requirements... para pag may LOE ka na, apply na agad. Jusmiyo andaming ngaaply na nurses ngayon dun nagkakaubusan ng slots sa schools.

ung SCU october na ang open.. pero sana maisingit ako sa session 2 sa July kasi mageexpire na LOE ko ng december 2018...

tignan mo sa website ng ahpra ung list ng NMBA approved briding program...

paanfsurn

@KevinDavidson hi po! Ask ko lang if ano po yubg nirequest nila na documents from school?
I sent my ctc and notarized tor, rle and course description with my agos 40. Hindi sya nakahiwalay and naka addressed sa school.

drnc_13

@marcopolo hala tlga po? ambilis naman mafull ako magaapply plng ng school karreceive ko lng loe ko kanina hala

KIKO

ay hindi na kami nakapag consultancy/agency..

plan namin sa melbourne sana.. kaso nagkakaubusan na nga ng slots huhu. hindi naman nila entertain unless may LOE na.. pero may prospect na kami in case dumating na yung LOE (sana )

@KevinDavidson - may idea ka ba sa Monash kung saan yung clinical placement nila at gaano kalayo sa Melbourne CBD?

yung SCU ata sa NSW ata anu?

nanurze

Good day po sa lahat. Ask ko lang po sa pagsend po ng mga documents to ahpra via mail need ba syang ilagay sa envelope? May specific envelope ba kung san dapat nakalagay qng papers? Salamat po.

cucci

@nanurze Nung unang submission ko prior to BP since via courier naka-folder at may markers pa per document... pa-impress sana... haha

nung second submission, pinatanggal na sa folder nung receiving officer sa Sydney.

They will scan the documents anyway and send the scans to the designated RO. As long as they are neatly arranged and complete, that's enough.

marcopolo

@cucci ay galing naman pala. How long kana dyan?

xgrei

@KIKO Wla kasi declaration yung CV ko tapos date and signature. Saana un na lang talaga yung kulang at loe na. Praying

KIKO

@xgrei same kayo ni mrs just received email from RO.

COGS din at yung CV..
Ang weird kasi naipadala na ni PRC yung COGS.
About sa CV, we followed naman yung Standard Format.

Same din ba tayo ng RO si Juan D o iba sayo?

Positive vibes palagi and pray lang of course!

cucci

@marcopolo kaka-start pa lang mag work. Pero been here since Dec.

iamyourangel08

Hello po..ask ko lang po paano kung mas naunang dumating yung school docs and cogs sa ahpra kesa sa agos 40 and other documents? magkakaproblema po ba? plan ko po kasi umuwi para magrequest na ng cogs at documents sa school. pero hindi pa po ako complete sa mga requirements sa agos 40 kasi mgrerequest pa din ako ng bagong coe..paano po kaya yun? thank u po..

nancypereyra

@KIKO
January 15- ahpra received my agos 40
Feb 13– they deducted my cc
No email from them yet even invoice...

nanurze

@cucci thank you so much. Balak ko din sana ienvelope para you know na hihihi thanks again

cucci

@iamyourangel08 they will scan and keep the documents on file and will merge them with your other documents as they arrive. Usually advisable talaga na paunahin ang COGS lalo na pag galing sa Middle Eastern countries kung saan pahirapan (in my experience) ang pagkuha at pagpapadala ng mga COGS.

cucci

@nancypereyra na-sandwich lang po yan ng valentines at chinese new year... hehe

iamyourangel08

i see..thank u @cucci ..so kahit mauna ang cogs and school
docs walang palang problema..yun po kasi plan ko gawin..thank u ulit..

nanurze

Good day po sa lahat. Ask ko lang po sa AHPRA application po ba kailangan din meron Job description and Letter of Recommendation from previous employers na nakaletterhead aside sa certificate of employment? Thank you

cucci

@nanurze Ang nakalagay na requirement sa AGOS-40 form ay Experience Certificate o Employment Certificate lang pero may mga instances na di naglalagay ng details like job description at no of hours ang employer kaya to supplement kumukuha ng recommendation letters from supervisors or Chief Nurse.

As a suggestion, since you will be needing that certificate after BP for ANMAC assessment and eventual visa processing, gayahin mo na ang ANMAC format. Will save you time and effort and money specially kung malayo sayo ang past work mo. At kung di naman kalabisan, make separate copies of the same addressed to AHPRA, ANMAC and Department of Home Affairs.

Also this early have your documents scanned and be sure to keep backup copies and backup copies of copies in a safe and secure place. AHPRA kasi requires paper submissions of certified true copies, ANMAC requires online submission of colored scans of originals at 600 dpi resolution or certified true copies if from photocopies or b/w documents. DHA requires colored scans of certified true copies of documents but not exceeding 5mb per document type.

Thank you so much po @cucci for the detailed response. Vey helpful po talaga.

In my situation po kasi, I've worked as a nurse for 5 years sa Kuwait. I was advised by my friend who's already in Au also to secure these papers (job desc, rec letter and cert of employment in separate pages) the problem is magulo po kausap ang mga Arabo. I tried to explain this and that pero ayaw nilang magrelease ng rec letter and job desc pero they gave me cert of employment. Pinarevise ko na lang at pinakiusapan kong istate dun na FULL TIME nurse ako and working this number of hours per week, the date of entire employment.

So for now, ito lang talaga hawak ko from my previous employer. Yung detailed job desc.

nanurze

@cucci meron po ba kayong list of req'ts for ANMAC so I can prepare kht to early pa. Check2 ko lang mga kulang.

Maraming salamat po tlga. Such a great help! Godbless you po.

cucci

@nanurze that's sad kasi pagdating sa ANMAC very important ang details ng professional reference letter... it should come from your direct supervisor... HR provides the employment certification pero yung professional reference must come from a fellow nurse kse nurse ka. Madali lang yung sa akin kse pinay din ang chief nurse namin... nakailang ulit nga akong request kasi di ko agad ginamit ang format ng ANMAC.

Based on the form ng modified assessment sa ANMAC, eto po requirements:
https://www.anmac.org.au/skilled-migration-services/modified-skills-assessment

1. Proof of Identity - passport
2. Educational Qualifications - Diploma, TOR
3. Registrations - COGS ( to be sent via email or post directly from regulatory agency where you have been registered
4. Work Experience Certificates - CoE and Professional References

cucci

@nanurze nga pala... di ko sure at di ko maalala kung saan ko nabasa pero pahirapan ding kumuha ng police clearance certificates sa Kuwait? Parang dito din sa forum... I hope you were able to secure one bago ka umalis. Medyo di pa naman maganda ang relations ng Pinas at Kuwait ngayon dahil sa total deployment ban na in-issue ng DOLE. Requirement kasi sa processing ng working or pr visa mo later. At least kung meron na pwede ka nang mag StatDec as proof of character.

nanurze

Hello @cucci hala ganun po ba
