I am currently applying for PR under stream 2 sa NSW and I am the primary applicant. My wife was a nurse in Philippines and Singapore having 8 years of experience. If ever na ma grant ang visa namin and magsettle dun at in future na need nya mag work as a nurse...will it be the same procedure kahit nasa AUS na? Meaning need na nya ma compile yung requirements habang nasa pinas pa lang kami tama po ba? Maraming salamat po!

Thanks! Actually she is currently not working since Nov 2017 to take care of our son in PH. She has 3 yrs exp in PH and 4 yrs in SG. She has PH and SG license as well. So what is the best option for her in case we get our PR visa 190? Just want to make sure we prepare everything and hindi kami mahirapan if ever she wants to work there na...

@mxv588t You and your wife may want to consider the NZ pathway, marami akong kilalang NZ nurses na dating SG nurses na hindi na pinag-CAP (bridging dito sa NZ). NZRNs can also be OZRNs through the TTMRA (Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act)
