Sa experience mo po, you can try applying without sponsor. You can start with this link: http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-

Normally, inuuna ang skills assessment. Un kasi pinakamadaming aasikasuhin. Then IELTS. Kung mataas points mo sa skills at 10 points lang kailangan mo sa IELTS, I suggest magself study ka na lang para makatipid. Kung kailangan mo e 8 on all bands, then I suggest mag IELTS review center ka.

Try to read the signature of the forumers na may timeline para may idea ka kung ano step by step procedure. Good luck!

@papajay07 thank you!! malaki din kasi un additional points if meron relative/sponsor, meron kang idea about PTE?? prang mas ok at mabilis ang result dun? kaw ba ok na?

papajay07 · July 2015

5 points lang ata ung additional pag reltive/sponsor. Kaya kung may 65 or 70 points ka na, d na need. Ako e state sponsorship, subclass 190. Granted na po visa ko last July 14.

Wala po ako idea sa PTE pero sabi nila mas madali daw un. hanap mo thread d2 tungkol dun.

Hi @candy_503! So since CPA ka, pwede kang mag-apply ng Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190). Visit mo yung link na binigay ni papajay07 for more information about 189. So bale kailangan mo ng 60 points para makapag-apply sa mga visa na yun. The point system is as follows:

AGE
25 pts: 18-24 yrs. old
30 pts: 25-32 yrs. old
25 pts: 33-39 yrs. old
15 pts: 40-44 yrs. old
0 pts: 45 and up

ENGLISH
0 pts: Competent English (IELTS 6)
10 pts: Proficient English (IELTS 7)
20 pts: Superior English (IELTS 8)

WORK EXPERIENCE (OVERSEAS)
5 pts: 3-4 yrs.
10 pts: 5-7 yrs.
15 pts: 8-10 yrs.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
20 pts: Doctorate from an Australian educational institution or other recognised standard
15 pts: At least a Bachelor degree, including a Bachelor degree with Honours or Masters, from an Australian recognised Standards
10 pts: Diploma completed in Australia, trade qualification completed in Australia, or qualification or award of recognised standard Australian study qualifications
5 pts: Diplomas or trade qualifications awarded by an Australian educational institution and meet Australian Study Requirement

OTHER FACTORS
5 pts: Credentialed community language qualifications
5 pts: Study in regional Australia or metropolitan area (excluding distance education)
5 pts: Partner skill qualifications
5 pts: Professional Year completion, for a period of at least 12 months in the four year period

NOMINATION/SPONSORSHIP
5 pts: State or Territory government (visa subclass 190 only)
10 pts: Nomination by State or Territory government or sponsorship by an
eligible family member, from Australia (visa subclass 489 only)

Regarding IELTS naman, I agree with papajay07 na pwedeng mag-self study nalang para makatipid. Maraming mga free materials online na pwede mong magamit pang-practice ng reading, listening, writing, and speaking components ng IELTS. Narinig ko nga mula sa ibang members na mas madali daw ang PTE, pero IELTS kasi ang kinuha kong test, so I can't tell you for sure. Pwede rin na sa kanila ka na mismo magtanong sa thread na ito: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p1

Good luck!
