    @iammaxwell1989 Paano ka nag apply ng 189?

    Tanong ko lang so sa pointing system yung under ng qualification. So makakakuha ba tayo ng 15 points dahil dito "At least a bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard" tapos 10 points pa na dagdag dahil dito "An award or qualification recognised by the assessing authority in the assessment of the skilled occupation" after magpaassess. Please help me.

    Paano ka umabot ng 65 points?

    Salamat ng marami.

    @pseudoaussie

    I applied on-line.

    You will get 15points if you get your bachelor's degree assessed by EA as equivalent to an Oz degree.

    You get additional points for years of relevant skilled occupation as assessed by EA (i.e 5pts for 1 year Oz experience or 3yrs overseas). You can get max of 20pts from skilled occupation.

    See my pts breakdown below.

    Age - 30
    Bachelors degree - 15
    English skills - 20

    Total = 65

    Cheers!

    @iammaxwell1989 Ilang years work experience mo sa Pilipinas? Mas madali ba PTE kasi kailangan ko din ng 20 points sa English skills. :)

    @pseudoaussie Because i dont need to. I already have 65pts without having to claim for work exp. Plus there's additional fee for doing so.

    Hello, everyone! I'm new to this forum. I am qualified for the 476 visa and I have plans to apply by next year. Based on what I read here, most apply for the 189 PR visa after obtaining the 476 visa. So I ask:

    Is a 476 visa really required (or just ideal) to apply for the 189 visa?
    How long after being granted the 476 visa can I apply for the 189 visa?
    And can I go ahead and apply directly for the 189 visa instead to consolidate my efforts (and cost)? :)

    Hi everyone. My brother is graduating this coming June, UP ME. Since andito na ako, pwede na rin sya pumunta through 476 visa. You reckon okay yung plan ko for him? or mag experience muna sya?

    - No. They are separate visa's with separate application processes.

    How long after being granted the 476 visa can I apply for the 189 visa?
    - You can apply anytime.

    And can I go ahead and apply directly for the 189 visa instead to consolidate my efforts (and cost)? :)
    - Yes, you can.

    Hi everyone, nung nag-apply ba kayo sa Engineers Australia, Washington Accord ba na pathway ang ginamit nyo? In that case, nagpasa pa ba kayo ng CDR sa EA kasama ng application?

    I currently have visa 476 and a graduate from UP.

    Thanks!

    @iammaxwell1989 Hi! Okay pa ba ang engineering field sa Melbourne? :)
    Hi. I am actually in energy trading / energy markets so never really looked at the engineering job market in Melbourne. I did have a short stint as an engineering assistant about 2 years ago,and that's about it.

    I think in general job market is much better now than how it was 2 years ago, at least in my experience.

    @Lumino Hi. I don't think UP (or any other Philippine uni) is a signatory in the Washington accord. So I don't think we can use that pathway. I did not.

    Sana buhay pa itong thread na ito, hihingi po sana ako ng advice. Kakatanggap ko lang ng visa grant last December 9 and will fly to NSW on March 4. Some background lang, i have a 1 year working experience po as process engineer in PH and a PRC license in chemical engineering. Would just like to ask what would be the best pathway for me to have a permanent visa in oz? I'm seeing visa 189/190 pero if ever po, what are other alternatives since wala pa po sa 60 points ata ang makukuha ko. Thank you very much to anyone who would care to reply :)
