@wizardofOz thanks bro..

@indahaws bro Melbourne ka diba madali ba kumuha ng work regarding sa IT sa oil and gas dyan?

and mga bro ask ko lang opinion nyo mas ok ba kasama ang family nyo or kayo muna tapos pag settle na, saka nyo sila kunin? worried lang kasi ako if ever kasi mag 4 pa lang yong kid ko. i been working outside pinas kaya i know mahirap, kaya nmn nag plan ako mag aus for good kasi mas may future and advantage ang kid ko sa aus compare sa pinas with regards sa standard of life and searching for work.

salamat..

indahaws · February 2015

@hoel07 yup Melbourne ako pero naghahanap pa lang din ng work. di ako sure kung madali bro, depende kasi sa kung saang IT field. Try mo na lang search sa seek.com.au or carreerone.com.au yung work title mo or description. almost lahat yata ng IT work naka online na ang ads.

regarding sa pag move in naman dito, para sa akin kung may enough budget ka pwede naman sabay sabay. Kaya lang sabi nila minsan umaabot ng 1 month or more before ma approve yung application for rental. so most likely kakailanganin mag hotel muna. tapos sabi daw kung wala pa kasi work dapat meron kang show money sa real property agent na around 6 months equivalent nung monthly rental.

@Azia Oh wow! We lodged our application last November 19. But since they requested for additional pedia assessment for our toddler (which has already been accepted as today), we're still waiting for the "golden ticket". We were allocated a CO last feb 5th

nice_guy · February 2015

@kpams May I ask what are the assessment being done by pedia? Meron kasi ako 5-year old son, and I wonder kung ano yung assessment na gagawin sa kanya.

THanks for sharing.

chichan · February 2015

@indahaws melbourne ka pala. move na rin ako around april. mahirap maghanap ng place to rent?

kpams · February 2015

@nice_guy my son has a history of speech delay so they wanted to do further testing through Intelliprime Cebu (because we're from cag de oro so cebu was nearer). It was like an IQ test called the WPPSI and it cost us 15,000 php (more expensive than the usual medicals). i don't think they ask that for all young kids though

nice_guy · February 2015

@kpams Very much alike pala case natin. Delayed din speech ng anak ko. Ilang taon na anak mo? Worry ko baka ganun din i require sa amin.
By the way, how did they know na may history ng speech delay anak mo?

kpams · February 2015

@nice_guy turning 3 this april. when we had the medicals, they doctor just did a physical exam on him (no labs or x-ray until the child is 10 ata). tapos he was asked questions like "what's your name?" "how old are you?" tapos he was asked to draw a circle (they have this booklet or guide they follow according to the tasks expected of a certain age group). The thing is, medyo napagod na yung kid naman kasi straight from the airport, diretso kami sa clinic tapos when we got there it took like 3 hours until he was examined. the place was new to him tapos he was tired pa so he wasnt cooperating or answering. And since we had him assessed noon pa when he was around 18 months old, we emailed the clinic the developmental assessment and I think they attached that to our health checks.

nice_guy · February 2015

@kpams Mukhang magiging problema namin eto. Yung son ko kasi, 5 years old na but hindi pa din ganun ka ayos magsalita, especially pag mabilis. Anyway, i practice ko na xa starting now na mag draw ng circle/shapes. hehe

kpams · February 2015

@nice_guy yeah, you do that. tapos you can look into the WPPSI kasi parang may mga practice tests ata na ma download or skills he can practice. God bless sa inyo!

Hi @chichan! Yung tinitirahan ko ngayon, dito ko sa pinoyau nahanap. isa lang yun sila na may posting last month ng room for rent dito sa Melbourne. Pero meron din naman ako nakikita sa homely.com.au at flatmates.com.au kaya lang mga locals siguro ang magiging landlord niyo. Family ba kayo na mag move?

hoel07 · February 2015

For claiming points for Education, you need to have your credentials assessed by the relevant Assessing Authority (e.g. Engineers Australia) first...

indahaws · February 2015

@chichan i see. check lang kayo lagi dito sa forum. yung sakin ay na arrange and confirm ko na before arriving. pumayag naman sila dito na 2 months minimum. tapos nag advance and deposit lang ako.

indahaws · February 2015

@hoel07 Bro, as what wizardofOz said. yung assesing authority yung mag determine diyan. Suggest ko na lang siguro na submit mo lang lahat sa ACS. Basahin mo lang lahat ng guide dito: https://www.acs.org.au/migration-skills-assessment

regarding naman sa pag settle dito. marami kasing options. pero try ka lang basa dito: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/516/pr-granted-money-needed-to-prepare-before-moving-to-melbourne-australia at dito din para may idea ka sa monthly/weekly budget ng mga nandito na: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/1052/au-migrants-pls-share-your-weekly-monthly-budget/p1

hoel07 · March 2015

@indahaws

ah ok get ko na. do we need to check na ang atty ay pwd mag notary for immigrating sa aus? or any lawyer will do?

nag tanong kasi ako sa embassy ng aus kong meron silang appoint na notary or accredited lawyer to notarized. wala nmn akong nakuhang idea sa kanila.

gernaez · March 2015

@Sophia congrats!!!

wizardofOz · March 2015

@hoel07 you can have your documents notarized by any "Notary Pu

@wizardofOz and @indahaws

Dude sorry i am confuse on how to notarized my document, do i need to go to aus embassy for that or any authorized notary facility.

thanks.

Ang sinunod ko lang is yung requirement ng Engineers Australia, which is basically the requirement of DIBP for certifying docs

3. The following classes of persons acting within their
relevant jurisdiction in the country of certification are
authorised to certify copies of documents:
• An authorised Notary Public
• An authorised Commissioner for Oaths/Declarations
• An authorised Lawyer, Solicitor, Barrister or Judge
• An authorised Justice of the Peace
• An officer of an Australian Diplomatic Post

Kung nasa Pinas ka, pwede ka pa-notaryo sa kahit saang Notary Public... kung abroad ka, pwede sa Philippine Embassy, may notarial services doon (medyo mahal nga lang), or pwede rin sa Notary Public kung saang bansa ka man ngayon (e.g. Singapore, Saudi, etc..)

Basta need masunod yung requirement:

Proper certification should appear on each page to be certified, and should show:
(a) the signature of the person certifying the document and the date of signing
(b) the name of the person certifying the document. This should be clearly printed or evident in the official stamp
(c) the contact details of the person certifying the document. This MUST be provided and may be a business address, telephone number or e-mail address, and
(d) where possible, an official stamp indicating the status of the person certifying the document, ie. Justice of the Peace, Commissioner for Oaths, Notary Public
(e) a statement "I certify this to be an identical copy of the original document, which I have sighted", or similar wording
(f) Where the name, status and contact details are
in a foreign language, an English language
translation of these three details needs to be
provided.
