Losing hope

Hello fellow forumers, meron po ba kayo mai-aadvice for those who are losing hope to apply for Australian PR visa? Kasi sa changes sa required IELTS score for teachers parang ang imposible na ma-ipasa. If we opt for student visa, yung iba naman walang budget sa laki ng show money and mahal ng tuition fee and syempre hindi ka rin naman maka-work ng todo if under ka ng student visa. May alam pa po bo kayong ibang route to make it in Oz?

Follow your heart but trust your gut.

    @gemini23: mag-asawa ng australiano?? Hehe, just kidding ha. Pinapatawa, pinapagaan ko lang loob mo. I can understand your sentiments. Lahat tayo ganun ang hangarin na makapag-stay permanently. Sis ko rin is going for the student visa sana. Kaso ang mahal ng tuition, mabigat talaga. [-(

    Mam, ang IELTS for teachers po ba academic module and minimum of 7 for all?

    @gemini23 , siguro po pwede rin maghanap ng employer na mag sponsor? About IELTS, eto rin kasi madalas pahirap eh, pero Ma'am di naman po imposible na maipasa yang IELTS, basta paghandaan talaga, focus at samahan ng prayers. Promise walang impossible kasi ako muntik nawalan na rin dati ng pag asa eh. :)

    @issa, I like your words po! The reason I asked din about IELTS for teachers ay kung academic module and minimum of 7 din siya, ay pwede talagang pagtyagaan. Unfortunately, no one is spared from IELTS. Konting tiyaga lang talaga (pwedeng damihan na rin ang tiyaga), pasaan ba at maipapasa din yan. Tiyaga and dasal works every time... Go lang ng go tayo. ;)

    @Nadine , hi! not sure kung ano requirements for teacher when it comes to ielts, alam ko lang academic ang for teachers. @gemini23, may mga obstacles talaga along the way, its up to you kung susuko ka at mawawalan ng pag asa. In the end, kung magpapadala ka sa pagsubok ikaw rin ang talo. :) may isa pa palang option, Scholarship! Narinig ko yan nung nagpunta kami sa IDP, maybe those with student visa have an idea about it.

    Yes, magtataas na ang required band score sa IELTS for teachers starting next month. Regret ko lang kung alam ko lang na tataas sya nag-retake sana ako ng maaga. Dati problem ko lang Writing na maka-7, ngayon Speaking and Listening dapat 8 :-((

    wow!!! i have to admit that's a tough one...
    it's difficult but not imposible...
    sa IT ayaw nyo lumipat? marami na naman company na nagtatrain ng career shifters...
    kahit ano pa course nyo, basta mapasa nyo lang exam which non it related exam...
    i could refer you to my previous company if you want... dun may mga dating abugado, nurse etc...
    tapos gain2-3 yrs experience then, pde ka na mag-apply as an ICT sa AU...

    yun ang isa sa option na nakikita ko... opinion ko lang po.

    @gemini23: hirap talaga IELTS, I swear. Parusa siya para sakin promise! But (in my humble opinion), if this is what will get you a visa/PR in Au, then you have to go for it. Go lang ng go, I think. Ganun yata talaga eh. Ako din muntik ng mag-give up dati, actually nag-give up nako talaga. At that time, parang hopeless - ang hirap pumasok sa propesyon ko. Will PM you ha. Smile, it's not the end of the world. Tapos na nung dec 21. :D

    @gemini23, kung ako nasa situwasyon niyo at napapansin kong medyo malabo sa Australia, I would look at other countries for the time being...

    Para ba makapag-ipon muna ako at maka-kalap ng work experience. For all we know, baka may Aussie employer kayo makilala on the way :)

    @LokiJr Actually I'm aiming for migration to Australia kasi medyo matagal na rin ako nagw-work abroad na wala naman kasiguraduhan until when. In terms of work experience naman, I think 13 years of service would be enough qualification to migrate. My previous boss before was Australian pero may pagka-racist, walang bilid sa Asian. Pero sana nga maka-meet ako ng Aussie employer along the way. :-)
