hello,
Tanong ko lang po if kelangan pa ba ng IELTS pag nagpaassess sa VETASSES? Ano po pinili nyo, technical interview or practical demonstration? Nung na hire po kayo ng agency, sino po ngbayad ng mga fees? Sinagot ba ng employer or agency? And how much po ung dapat na offer at kung ano pang dapat na benefits? Libre ba accommodation and food, etc.?
Pasensya na, i'm just inquiring for my brother.
Thanks.

hi cylin,
pagnagpavetasses ka, kelangan lng lahat na work experiences certificate mo. walang ielts kailangan. yung ielts sa pagkuha na ng visa yan at pag 457 visa aaplyan mo excemted ka pag nka straight 5 years ka from hiskul to college. hingi ka lng ng englis as medium certificate sa skul mo.
pareho mong haharapin ang technical interview at praktikal demo. (base on my skills)
ako mo magbabayad.. pero ang kasunduan namin pagpaalis na ako isasama ko sa pagbayad ang vetases fee (80T pesos) sa placement fee ko
sa 457 skilled nsa 28aud per hour dapat ang sahod. ang benefits depende na sa employer.
halos lahat dito sa australia hindi libre ang food.

Pag ba ang status ng medical is "completed" meaning ok na yun?
Dun kasi s online application ko nakalagay "there is no medical examination required as per information....." Kaya nagugulo ako baka nga i did something wrong,.

@rii Hi Rii, based sa reply mo, required magpa assess for 457? pero no need na for IELTS? or no need na rin ba ang assessing companies? also, apply and get a job offer ba muna or complete assessments first before applying for a job online?
Graphic Designer po ako dito sa Pinas and nasa advertising industry. Maraming Salamat Po!

Will take this chance to ask question na rin. Since hindi na naka-stamp ang Visa ngayon yon lang ba kailangan ko i-present sa IO upon entry sa Australia? I'm currently based in Singapore, mas okay bang ayusin ko na yung OWWA/POEA/Philhealth requirement prior to my departure or pagdating na lang sa Australia?

Sister company po ng current company ko sa SG yung nag sponsor sa ken so parang lalabas relocation lang. No assessment required sinubmit ko lang lahat ng credentials, hindi na rin ako nag ielts dahil na meet yung salary level to be excempted.
By the way, tumawag na ko sa Philippine Embassy sa Singapore ang advise sa ken since i will be departing from SG at uuwi naman ako ng Pinas sa December pag uwe ko na lang daw i-process yung OWWA membership.

@msr if 457 visa ang target mo, no need mag pa assess, only thing to do and secure is makakuha ka ng company here in Australia na will hire and sponsor you a 457 visa. Processing of 457 visa takes only 2 weeks to 3 months, so apply lang ng apply

swerte lang talaga ako kasi meron headhunter no kumontak sa akin through linkedin.
Meron daw siya client at match daw ung experience and skills ko sa hinahanap ng client niya kaya ayun ng arrange sila ng interview conducted at Singapore while I am still in Philippines. And the rest is history!

sa pagkakaintindi ko and mga naririnig ko ay wala namang assessment. The sponsoring company will nominate you you under 457 visa. Basta nasunod lang ung procedure as per immi site ok na yun. Usually mgfifill up ka lng ng forms tapos submit na kai immi.
