Taking IELTS or Vetassess Assessment?

francua · February 2017

Hi, I just want to ask for a genuine advice regarding what to take first - I have already consulted a Migration Agency in PH and was informed that I passed the skills assessment (preliminary) and my profession is included in CSOL and the state that I want to live/work with is currently open. Would like to ask if I should take first the IELTS and passed the required component for each category or immediately signed an agreement with the Agency and proceed my application. Also, I was advised that Vetassess assessment will take 5 months (maximum processing time) to send out favorable letter and once the application is favorable, EOI is the next step which IELTS results are needed. I am just torn between: (1) taking & passing the IELTS or (2) signing the agreement with the Agency and proceed with Vetassess assessment since I can take IELTS during the processing time of Vetassess.

Thank you very much for your kind assisstance and every advice will be of great help.

God bless.

@engineer20 it will be conflict to my schedule and work po that is the reason why I would like to have an agency? Did you try processing your application on your own? Was it successful?

@francua yes, fortunately it was. what is your nominated occupation and who is your Migration Agent if I may ask?

@engineer20 I see that's good to hear. Marketing Specialist and Migration Agency is Respall. In your case po - did you take first IELTS before lodging your application? Btw, thank you for replying to my messages.

@francua san state daw open ang occupation mo? sa case ko i had my skills assessment first and took my PTE after that.

@engineer20 last Novemeber till now opened daw po sa NSW. What occupation niyo po and nasa Au na po ba kayo? So un sa akin po, you are suggesting to take first the skills assessment then take IELTS or PTE?

@francua parang di naman open sa NSW occupation mo.

@engineer20 hi po they said it is open streamline 2. Masesearch ko po ba siya sa ANSZCO? I've checked and it is not opened po. Are there any sites where I can find it po?

@francua for stream 2 kailangan mataas ang points mo. also di rin ito guaranteed na maiinvite ka kasi discretion ng NSW kung anong occupation ang iinvite nila. pero wala namang masama kung susubukan pero dapat ipaliwanag ng agency yung buong process at possibilities. ilang points ka raw ba meron kung sakali?
