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

Hello,

Guys tanong ko lang, currently I'm working here in Singapore for more than 2 years na. And for the next 2 weeks nman I will be working with another company, dto padin sa Singapore. Ang work experience ko is more than 5 years na. First work ko is 6 months, then 6 months, then 2 years and 3 months, and then 2 years and 2 months. Yong first 6 months ko meron ako problema kasi d ko na mahanap yong ITR ko, nagrequest ako kaso malabo na kasi naitapon na daw. So kung tatanggalin ko yon, bale less than 5 years ang work experience ko nlng. Sa new employer ko nman dto sa Singapore is 1 year.

1. ) Ano ba guys ang suggestion nyo, pede kya magpa assess na ako ngayon or at least magpa 1 year muna ako sa next company na papasukan ko?

By the way, eto ang points ko sakali:
Age 28 = 30
Bachelors Degree = 15

2.) Spouse skills (CPA) = 5 - ano ba requirements needed aside from PRC id ng mrs ko?

Work experience = 3 years sa pinas at current 2 years dto sa Singapore, (not sure how many points makukuha ko dto kung ngayon ako magpa assess kasi yong isang 6 months ko wla ako ITR)
IELTS = planning to take by February next year.

3.) Another question, ano ba yong sinasabing PROFESSIONAL YEAR?
- Meron ako training sa Pinas ng more than a year sa nominated ko na occupation.

4.) Last question, Pede kaya magpa "Certify true copy sa Phil Embassy"?

Salamat guys!

Hello everyone.. Tanong lang po. Yong bank statement na evidence ok na ba yong sa online banking na statement tapos i print lang, o really have to go to my bank and ask this statement? By the way mga 10 years ago pa po yong some accounts na kailangan ko. TIA sa mga rereply.

kisses1417 · December 2014

^@Megger: i dont know if vetassess ka papassess pero madali lang naman magrequest ng bank statement sa bank. Nakalagay kasi sa vetassess, di nila tinatanggap ang creen capture etc, and the bank statement should be signed by the bank din kasi. For me, mas ok na mag request na lang

daniellegray · December 2014

Tanong lang po. Meron din bang minimum 12 months work experience IN THE LAST 5 YEARS that is highly relevant to the nominated occupation ang Engineers Australia.. just like vetassess? Pag nagsubmit ba sa EA, like for example my nomination is Civil Eng'g Drftsprsn and ang required IELTS is 7 sa lahat ng parts. Do i need to get that muna bago makapagsubmit sa Skills assessment. or OK na muna yung score ko sa ngayon na may below 7 as long as over 6 sila lahat. para lang masubmit ko na yung sa skills assessment. tapos if incase palarin at pumasa bago ako magsubmit ng EOI eh makakuha na ng IELTS na 7 or more than 7 lahat?

Megger · December 2014

@kisses 1417 , thanks po sa reply. Kung halimbawa ba ma grant ka nang visa, 189 foŕ example, nakasulat ba dun ang chosen profession mo, then restricted ka to find job on that profession only? Many thanks po sa magrereply. God bless sa processing natin..

Nope... Though this is a very extreme example but you are free to be a circus clown if you want!

I know a lot of people who initially came here as an accountant but they had difficulty finding work they they shifted elsewhere.

Megger · December 2014

@Tasburrfoot, salamat sa reply. Nakasulat ba sa visa ang selected profession mo? Merry Christmas...

tartakobsky · December 2014

@Megger hindi po nakasulat.

Megger · December 2014

@tartakobsky , thanx sa reply. If you wont mind, lahat po ba ng type of visa ganun? Ano po ba ang info na nakalagay, specially sa skilled independent, 189. TIA. God bless to all, specially sa mga tulad ko na on going pa ang processing....

tartakobsky · December 2014

@Megger Usual info lang po, name, passport number, visa type, visa number, visa expiry, at initial entry deadline. At saka county specific requirements po tulad ng CFO if departing from Philippines.

"2.) Spouse skills (CPA) = 5 - ano ba requirements needed aside from PRC id ng mrs ko?

IELTS = planning to take by February next year."

If you will claim spouse skills, kailangan magpaassess ng wife mo sa CPAA or CAANZ. Need nya magtake ng IELTS. Sa part namin, since hindi worth it na magpaassess pa sya in order to claim 5 pts lang, hindi na kami nagclaim.

Take na kayo IELTS as early as possible!

2 years pa naman validity e, para 1 item done na

Hello po, meron po ba kayo kilala sa group na pwede ko hingian ng sample CDR for civil engineering draftsperson? binasa ko kasi yung MSA booklet at nakahingi na din ako ng sample CDR dati..pero puro engineers, something na responsible for decision making pagdating sa work.. while hindi pa ko nakakita ng CDR ng Civil Engineering Draftsperson.. may pakiramdam kasi ako iba sila ng approach kasi nakadepende yung work namin sa ipapagawa ng mga engineers most of the time..specially sa mga drawings... Since ang iniemphasize ng CDR is yung responsibility mo sa work.. I was wondering kung pano ko sya ieelaborate...for reference lang po... salamat

Hi, im new here.

bale fresh graduate po ako then license engineer dito sa pinas. last october ako nag start mag work dito sa Australia. yung tatay ko kasi may 457 visa at nadamay lang ako.

Question ko po.

gusto ko po kasi maging engineer dito sa Australia. ano po ba best advice niyo?

rechie · January 2015

@catajell Kung yan ang mga need gawin, i guess d na lng nmin e claim yong partner skills.
I plan to take IELTS this coming February 2015, dto na rin sa sg. need ko lng makakuha ng malaki score kasi nsa 5 years work experience plng kasi ako (3 year sa pinas and then 2 years dto sa sg). Ang d ko lng malaman ano yong sinasabing "Professional Year". Kung bibigyan ako ng 10 points sa work experience ko, nsa 55 points plng kasi ang makukuha ko. So sa IELTS na lng tlga kelangan at least maka 10 points man lng

Age 28 = 30 points
5 years work experience - 10 points
Bachelors Degree - 15 points

Salamat @catajell

Check engineers australia if you need certification before you can work as an engineer in Au. If none, then all you need to do is to apply..

Pero kung fresh grad ka at wlang gusto maghire, you might wnt to try the intership program by EA..

catajell · January 2015

@rechie Nirecalculate ko yung points namin kasi magka-age tayo e! Hehe.. 60 points lang kami since hindi pinarecognize yung first 2 years exp ko as junior auditor sa Pinas (advice ng agent) pero 10 points nakuha sa IELTS since required talaga ng professional body (ICAA) na nag-assess samin as accountant so baka di applicable sayo to. I-aim mo na lang lang na all 7 sa IELTS mo. Samin required nga ay Academic pero kinaya naman. Practice ka lang mabuti, diko masabi na "review" kasi di ka naman makareview for IELTS, ifamiliarize mo lang sarili mo sa type of tests.

Not sure ako sa sinasabi mong "professional year".. San mo ba nakita yun? Baka madami na nagbago kasi sa process since nung last kami naglodge..

@bookworm @xiaomau82 kelan din po ba kumukuha ng police clearance? Pag business trip hindi naman kailangan no? Pag di naman lumampas ng 12 months cummulative?

@bookworm @xiaomau82 kelan din po ba kumukuha ng police clearance? Pag business trip hindi naman kailangan no? Pag di naman lumampas ng 12 months cummulative?

Yes no need.

If you are applying for temporary or permanent migration

For the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, you might be asked to provide police certificates for each country you have lived in for 12 months or more, over the last 10 years, since turning 16 years of age.

You must declare all recorded offences to us. If you do not declare an offence and we become aware of this it might have a negative impact on your application.

Do not finalise any travel arrangements until after the grant of your visa. This is because visa processing times can vary depending on the visa type and your personal circumstances.

When is a police certificate required?

If you are over the age of 16 and have lived in any of the countries listed on this page for a total of one year or more in the last 10 years, you must get a police certificate from that country.

The certificate must cover the period of time from the issue date back to the age you ceased to be a minor, or must cover the whole time you were in a country.

For immigration purposes a police certificate is deemed to be valid for 12 months from the issue date.

Hello po sa lahat!

Nalito po ako sa mga steps to apply for Victoria SS Visa 190. So far eto pa lang ang mga nagawa ko:

1- IELTS done (7.0 OB)
2- submitted documents to ACS for assessment
3- EOI draft while waiting for ACS result

Ano po ang mga next steps after ko ma complete ang EOI? Dun po sa EOI, pwede ko ba e select ang 189 at 190 at the same time? Thanks po ulit sa lahat!

You cn apply online pero very rare na mag sponsor sila. As for agency wala akong alm
My friend applied online pero naswertehan lang na may recruiter n nagpunta mismo singapore kaya sia nasponsor.
