    OMG!! parang nawawalan na ko ng pagasa sa Canberra.. puro kailngan ng security clearance. gusto ko na lumipat ng ibang state!!! huhu.
    Hi Kata ang pagkaalam ko puede ka naman mag apply sa ibang state kung nag stay kana ng ilang buwan sa Canberra. Basta inform mo sa Immigration na nakakuha ka ng work sa ibang state. try mo Sydney kasi malapit sa Canberra. . Dont worry makakakuha ka din yan. Tiis ka lang. Mabuti nagsabi ka dito at ng mabigyan ka ng ibang idea. Cheers

    @kata, may ibang inipon ang mga rejection letters na nakukuha nila sa mga employer. Para marami na tapos wala pa din work, kinakausap nila ang immigration, and they are released from their obligation to stay in the state.
    But give it a chance :) especially kung may anak ka. Better ang education sa Canberra, mas mura pa ang rent :)

    Thanks for info bookworm. Ayus pala kata i print mo lahat ng rejection email para yung ang evidence pakita sa immigration. Maganda ang Canberra especially to raise a child dahil hindi ganun ka busy ang street. Hindi ganun ka traffic madali makauwi sa bahay. Hindi gaano ka stress mag work dito. Staka mag dedevelop pa ang Canberra. Pero syempre trabaho ang importante. Maghanap ka na ngayun sa ibang state. Puede ka naman bumalik ng ACT kapag May work experience kana at makatyempo ng job opening dito. Good luck

    Thanks @TotoyOZResident and @bookworm. oo nga as much as I wanted na magstay sa Canberra, e nakakafrustrate kasi kailngan AU citizen na ang hinahanap nila. Di ko nga alam anong pinagkaiba ng PR sa citizen. I mean bat may ganung rule. May idea kayo?

    Pwede na ba ko maghanap ng work sa Sydney kahit 2 months plang ako nagttry sa Canberra?

    @Kata, Because of the security clearance. Most jobs in Canberra need security clearance because you are accessing sensitive information. They want to avoid the information getting into the wrong hands, like hackers or terrorist or whistleblowers, etc.

    And to be able to get security clearance, minimum requirement is Australian citizen. A security clearance can take about 6 months (and this is just baseline security clearance) before you can get it because they have to go through your background and make sure you are who you say you are and you have no bad intentions toward the country.

    Hope this helps.

    @kata, yung six months, yun investigation ha. So make it 4 years to become a citizen, then 6 months for the investigation. Mga ganun. Minsan ata mas matagal pa, depende sa taas ng security clearance. Yung baseline clearance pala, mga 4 weeks lang. Depende :)

    I dont have idea kung kailangan mag 3 months muna. Pero mabuti na yung mag apply kana sa Sydney at Melbourne. Then pagnatangap ka kana tsaka ka sumulat. Kung sinabi nman ng immigration hindi puede eh hwag ka tumuloy. Pero ang mas mabuti mag-inquire ka na ngayon sa immigration para mas maliwanag at hindi ka nag aalala. cheers

    tama si @TotoyOZresident :) Any process will do, basta dumaan ka sa tamang proseso. Pag sinabi naman nilang released ka na, then good for you. I think ok lang sa kanila kasi andaming nawalan at mawawalan ng trabaho sa canberra ngayon.

    Hi Kata,

    Okay yan tuloy mo lang. Hwag ka muna mag isip kung hindi ka payagan. Isipin mo makakuha ka ng trabaho. Then kapag natangap kana staka mo isipin kung papayagan ka o hindi. Marami ka naman na denied email eh yun ang pakita mo. Okay din yan tuloy mo ang pag apply din sa Canberra habang hanap ka rin ng work sa Sydney. Kung nakapag work kana sa sydney at may local work experience kana staka mo ulit mag apply sa Canberra. Kasi mas relax dito mag trabaho kaysa sa Sydney pero dipende pa rin sa lifestyle mo. Nagiimprove naman every year ang infrastructure ng Canberra. Good luck and God bless.

    @thegreatiam15 2 years naman ata ang validity ng IELTS. Mag test ka na this year para by next year, o kung kelan man mag open, meron ka na nyan. di ka na mag iintay. May EOI ka na ba?

    @bookworm

    hello wala pa akong EOI since sabi ni "agent" hindi pa raw namen mailolodge yung EOI since wala pang ACT SS (if ever eto lang yung state na bubukas) for my skilled occupation,

    or tingin ko sinusubukan nya lang mas maging systematic yung order nang process nang application since MARA registered naman siya, alam nya ang mas mainam na gagawin pagdating dito.

    let's say we go on your way or i advise ko sa kanya, ano ba ang sistema nun? kasi by right ang pagkakaintindi ko kung ilolodge EOI parang naka pending ka or waiting list ka correct me if i am wrong

    maraming salamat

    @thegreatiam15, EOI is expression of interest, meaning, you are telling AU government that you want to migrate. Once you have your IELTS, you can lodge your EOI even if there are no states willing to sponsor you yet.
    Now, since you are determined to stay in ACT, and only in ACT, when you lodge the application, you select only ACT in the states you want to get sponsorship from.

    In my case, I had lodged my application a couple of months before but no state was sponsoring my application. When I found that ACT sponsors my skis, I submitted my state sponsorship application to ACT and then when I got it, they were able to update my EOI and send me an invitation to apply in ImmiAccount.

    Hope this helps.
