andreilopez84 · June 2014

hello there.

i deeply seek for guidance on how to apply in au, just want to start a new career and lifestyle (likely to stay in au as permanent). with my husband ( no kids yet).

im currently working in dammam for almost 6 years. im a RN but not working in a hospital or dispensary. im working in a dermatology clinic.

can you guys, help me out, figure how and what to do??? do i have to hunt jobs first in bank job? do i have to take ielts first? i want to go to australia after my contract here in KSA, still have 16 months here coz i have to wait for my husband to finish his contract.

info: zero activities in any processing. no assessment had been done. just browsing and reading forums.

kindly guide and enlighten us on how to do the process and which is first step, step by step.
thank you.

@andreilopez84, I think some (if not most) of your questions can be answered by looking at the start of this thread, especially if you are aiming for a permanent visa. Once you get acquainted with the points scheme, you will know where you stand.

andreilopez84 · June 2014

@altuser41 thanks for the info. actually im reading it. it makes me dizzy reading reading those abbreviated words.

still i will do my best. hope i can fill in.

@andreilopez84, you're welcome. Ganyan din po ako nung nagstart ako, nahirapan makasunod sa acronyms at shortened words. Soon enough you'll get the hang of it.
If you can start with gathering of basic documents while learning the ropes mas maganda. Kung may tanong ka magpost ka lang, maraming tutulong sayo dito.

lock_code2004, I am so relieved I found this thread. The very first information you posted gave me a clearer picture of how to really go about all the processes needed for migration

Thank you so much!

Hi guys!

I had taken my IELTS exam and I got 6.5 band score (min score is 6). Ang target ko sana is 7 to gain extra 10 points kase 55 points lang ako currently. Would it be ok to submit my assessment sa EA (for Industrial Engineer qualification)? I consulted an agency at ang sabi nila ok lang daw to proceed with the assessment, kase sa 2nd stage (DIAC) pa ung points system, thus while waiting for the result from EA magretake muna ako ng IELTS.

Would appreciate if you can advise me on this.

Thanks.

yes advisable na magsubmit ka muna ng application mo sa EA since nameet mo namn ung required score na min. of 6 to avoid delays. then while waiting ka ng result ng EA e pwede ka nmn magretake anytime, walang issue dun.

Thanks. Appreciate your assistance..

Xiaomau82 · June 2014

@pro_ae no worries. goodluck sa application nio. ;-)

With regards sa submission ng assessment documents to EA, through courier lang yun, right? Just a bit confuse kung pano ung payment through credit card, shal I prepare an authorization letter detailing may accounts info? Or pano din ang process pag cash and cheque?

Thanks.

Thanks.

visit EA website and read the immigration booklet..
sa application form, you will enter your credit card details..

thanks. appreciate your help..

@danz1213 yun iba ko nababasa is PCC - Police Clearance Certificate. Para sa mga Pinoy applicant yan na nag work or tumira outside Philippines in more than a year yata. Kaya kami na Pinas lang nag work or di nag stay sa ibang bansa ng more than a year, NBI Clearance lang ang need i-provide sa DIBP. Correct me if I'm wrong :-)

@Xiaomau82 and sir @lock_code2004 Hello po, need some inputs here. My husband is working as an optical dispenser for 8 years now. He's a graduate of Doctor of Optometry from CEU, he's not a board passer. We are preparing his documents for TRA assessment for SS in SA(optical dispenser). One of our concern is that for the longest time he is not paying any taxes nor any goverment mandated benefits. Since he's working in his friend's optical clinic, they have an understanding from start that he's not covered to any of those which I have mentioned. My question is, what if during the assessment in TRA or during his EOI and SS application process, and when the CO will ask for his tax payments. Does a letter from the owner of the optical clinic explaining about the situation will be suffice? but other documents such as payslips, COE,reference letters;etc. is ok. Thank You!

Thank you for this topic, i will backread everything, currently in page 4 pa lang but this is very helpful. @lock_code2004. Close pa ACT so mag papa assess na lang muna ako sa vetassess this january for Sales representative (Pharmaceuticals) hopefully positive. 6 yrs experience po . Kapag po ba special conditions apply like in SA, mababago din kaya yun like hopefully in July 2015? Puro kasi studied in SA ang pwede mag apply, paano naman kami na nasa PI pa? Iniisip ko kasi ang hirap naman mag apply ng wala pang opening pero gusto ko na din mag invest at mag risk kasi para pag may open na, submit agad EOI. Tama po ba understanding ko?

kisses1417 · December 2014

Nakagawa na po ako ng account sa vetassess and nagather ko na documents ko. Complete na except for my prc id for renewal sa monday. Though meron naman ako certicate or parang diploma from prc na i passed and registered nurse ako. Ihahabol ko sana bago mag january 1. Close na daw sila ng dec 23 11am e. So pwede ba ako submit ng sunday? Or monday na lang, and naisip ko kasi complete documents naman na ako, not sure lang kung need ba license ko eh non practicing naman ako na nurse and hindi naman yung nominated occupation ko. Pwede ko ba ihabol yun next time pag na lang hinanap para lang masubmit ko na lahat. Help po, sana masagot nyo ko.

And yung mga certfied true copy na documents ko, diba pina photocopy lang lahat, tapos notarized and signed nung attorney, pero charcoal grey ang kulay ng mga tatak nya so pag pinacolor scan ko di naman halata na certified true copy kasi mukang xerox lang. Pano ba yun? Patulong po sana, ko ting hinga na lang. @XiaoMau82 @kremitz @theumlasfamily

Xiaomau82 · December 2014

@kisses1417 not sure if ur query was answred n. Pero ok lng yan sjnce may stamp nmn ng notary public lawyer.

Ok @XiaoMau82: thanks po

Hello Sir lock_code,

Newbie po dito. Interesado ako magmigrate sa Austaralie together with my family. Very informative po yung thread nyo pero may katanugan lang po ako...Anu po ba mas mainam na unahin, yung IELTS or magpa-assess muna assessing body base dun sa occupation mo.

Salamat po sa advise. Godbless po.

Regards,
Majekoy

se29m · December 2015

@majekoy it depends kung ano nominated occupation mo para sa assessing authority. Vetassess does not require ielts or any English requirement yet.. Pero sa ea and others, they are requiring.

glitch88 · December 2015

@majekoy kng hindi naman kailangan ng assessing authority ang IELTS, in my opinion unahin mo muna mag pa assess, para kng ano man ang result ma tansa mo kng ilang band sa IELTS ang kailangan mo.

majekoy · December 2015

salamat po sa advise @se29m and @glitch88

Hello po mga sir,

May tanong lang po ulit ako. for my case po kasi yung occupation ko ay under Engineers Australia na assessing body. Tama po ba na yung assessment pathway ko is under CDR. since yung qualification ko is from a non accord country. advise naman po at any know how about the preparation ng mga requirements.

Salamat po and Godbless.
