Will I survive in Australia? Would it be difficult to get a PR?

bambam083012bambam083012 Cagayan de OroPosts: 17Member
Hello everyone! Im bambam and Im very interested to apply for student visa in australia, but I have so many questions po whether I will survive there or not. I have two options po, to take up masters in business marketing in a university or sa college lang whichever po yung mas practical or madaling mka kuha nang PR. I graduated po last 2014 and no work experience, how will things work if this is the situation? Am i gonna qualify kaya to go there? Would it be difficult kaya for me to find a job there? Thank you!!

    Hi. Just think positive. Of course you can. Ako nga 2012 graduate, no experience as well. But I applied already sa uni, still waiting pa nga lang po.

    @bambam083012 Just make sure that you'll have a pathway to PR with the course you're taking para you'll not waste your time. :) If im not mistaken, pag masteral you're allowed to work full time.

    @rejshel Check mo if yung nominated occupation mo is under SOL or CSOL. Pag andun siya and you meet the points then you can apply for PR. :) Studying here doesn't necessarily mean na you can automatically apply for it.

    @bambam083012 honestly competition is very stiff here. some don't even recognise prior experience kahit manager ka pa, meron man mangilan ngilan kung very in-demand ang occupation mo. pero nakukuha naman sa tyaga, sa umpisa lang tlga ang mahirap. kelangan mo magbaon ng madaming lakas ng loob at pera.
