Emon · August 2012

sg based dn ako. will be moving to adelaide on october.

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@jaero How I wish Sir pero sobrang malayo pa kami... In fact, we still don't have a clue as to whether uusad yung application namin. We are currently waiting for the results sa CPA Australia before we can proceed any further.

Hopefully wala naman show stopper sa pangarap namin mag-asawa...

Madami nga sinasabi nila na SG to OZ tranferees...

JClem · August 2012

One step at a time Sir, unti-unti makikita mo progression nyo.

Ganyan din feeling namin ni hubby nun nag-sstart or nagdedecide pa lang kami kaya I understand what you feel. PinoyAu is here to assist you. God bless!

By the way di po ako taga-SG. Nakikibasa lang ako ng thread and nabasa ko post mo.

Actually, you're on the fun part of the process. Makailang beses nagtatatalon sa tuwa ako (rather, ang misis ko) noong nakapasa ako ng assessment, then IELTS, then state sponsorship, then recently, the invite. Namnamin mo na yan dahil kaba na ang papalit kapag palipad na kayo doon.

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@Metaform - boss you are the same Pinoy sa Expat Forum noh?

I have a feeling that was created by Indians, panay anaps ang nag-comment doon eh...

Metaform · August 2012

@psychoboy Naku, maraming metaform sa mundo hindi po ako yun. /jowk

Naubusan ako ng creativity noong nag-sign up ako doon kaya same nick na lang ang ginamit ko. Dominated nga ng makukulit na pana at reklamador na puti yung forum na yun.

engr_boy · August 2012

Hello po! Musta mga applications ng mga sg-based forumers? :-)

Inhinyerong maglulupa po ako. Haha. Bale almost 5 years na po working sa sg. Sawa na at stressed out na kaya Aus naman para maiba. Magstart pa lang po ako ng skills assesment under ng SSSI AUSTRALIA (Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute). Sana po positive. :-)

carla_glam · August 2012

Heloo po! SG based din po ako..I'm glad I saw this thread

Ako nman po mag aaral ng nursing, hopefully makaabot sa February intake.
Godbless our application po.

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@engr_boy & @carla_glam - all the best to both of you!!

RobertSG · August 2012

Isyut · August 2012

Sg based din po. Kaka IELTS ko lang nuon 25 aug pero not sure sa results crossing my fingers sana maka 7 sa lahat kundi retake :-(
Na submit ko na din ACS for anzco 263111 sana okay din. Goodluck satin lahat.

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@Isyut and @RobertSG - barchmate pala kayo sa IELTS, goodluck to both of you!

Sa ACS pala pwede magpa assess kahit walang IELTS, sa CPA Australia kailangan IELTS eh and they need an Academic module with no grade below 7!

paris_hipon · August 2012

Ian · August 2012

Hi all! Bago palang po ako dito sa thread at maraming salamat sa gumawa sa site at sa mga input nyo, really helpfull. Ask ko lang po sana kung mga magkano gastusin from taking IELTS up to pag grant nang visa? Appreciate your help and thank you in advance. More power!

@Ian, welcome here sa forum bro...

I cannot be able to tell you the exact amount you will be paying all in all but I can give you some rough estimate based on experience. Take note that for every difference skills assessing body, iba iba din ang price. I would assume na taga SG ka noh?

IELTS - SGD310 (SGD 300 daw sa IDP)
CPA Australia Assessment - AUD 475
(if ma-invite ka to apply for visa) Visa Processing Fee - AUD 3,060
Medicals - around 100 to 200 SGD
PCC - less than 100 SGD

Did I miss out anything?

You also need to factor in fees for securing your documents, postage, notarization, etc...

Easily aabot lahat lahat ng more than SGD5,000 - it could go higher significantly if you will pay for the service of a migration agent.

rylynn · August 2012

hello po , ask ko lang po if meron dito engineers na recently na paaccess ..
sa Engineers Australia need kasi ng COE pag hindi talaga nagbigay ng COE certificate of employment ano po pwede reference or gagawin? maraming salamat po

KTP · August 2012

hello po... ako po andito sa sg. but will be leaving soon for Manila on Nov then to sydney on January

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@rylynn statutory declaration po ang kailngan.. you can read other related threads on visa application, yung iba kinailangan din ito dahil di sila mabigyan ng COE

to add to the above @rylynn - just get a certificate of employment from your employer and make sure that your tenure with the firm is indicated there as well as your function role (i.e. audit senior, audit assistant manager, etc...) - if you can be able to include the words "full-time" and your salary, this would make things a bit better.

The more details you have there, the better...

And yes the statutory declaration; I used the below format, feel free to use it as reference and just change the wordings as needed.

I, XXXX, born on XX XXXX, 19XX, holding Passport EBXXXXXXX, do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that:I was a full time employee of XXXXXX from XXXXXX to XXXXXXX. I was assigned under the XXXXXX where I held the positions of XXXXXX during my tenure with the company.

I have attached herein various various documents issued by the company to evident the same i.e. Certificate of Employment, Salary Pay slips,I declare that I am unable to provide an employment reference letter with detailed job scope on company letter head from XXXXXX as company policy only allows HR to provide a standard Certificate of Employment. This said document does not include any mention of my specific job scope.

Furthermore I declare that I cannot be able to secure a testimonial from previous line managers as all of them are no longer connected with XXXX.To the best of my knowledge, I have outlined the below which were the specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to me during my tenure with XXXXXX.

JOB DESCRIPTION HERE:

Make sure you have this notarized by a lawyer!

mandand · August 2012

hi guys, anyone knows where & how to get pcc in SG?

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

hi guys, anyone knows where & how to get pcc in SG?

You can get this from the SG Police HQ at Cantonment - however since non-citizen normally are not given PCC, you will have to wait for the CO to request one for you.

mandand · August 2012

i see. so kelangan muna ng CO allocated before makapag-request ng pcc kung ganun.
what about nbi clearance? how to request kng nasa sg? tnx

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@mandand : As far as I know, yes kailangan si CO before SG PCC.

NBI clearance is a bit complicated - the process I know is that you need to go to the PH embassy first to get them to help you imprint your fingermarks in a sheet. You will have to send this out to a relative in Pinas for them to process. When you get your clearance, you need to return this to the Phil Embassy for some formalities. >> Not too sure on this but this is as far as i know... TEDIOUS, I know but no choice!!

I would be happy to be proven wrong on the NBI Clearance Process as an easier way would be beneficial for all of us!
