Hello po, I'm still new here. I'd like to ask if anyone here applied for 476 visa na hindi from UP but accredited ng Philippine Technological Council (PTC)? I understand that PTC is a provisional signatory of the Washington Accord. I called PTC and they said na try lang daw baka i-consider nila kasi ongoing pa yung application nila of becoming a full signatory. Your replies would really be helpful. Thanks!
Hi guys. Gusto ko lang magtanong about sa pag assess. Gagraduate ako ng BS ECE sa UST sa June 2017 at gusto ko sana mag apply ng 489 visa (family sponsored by my uncle in perth). Dito ako nagtatanong kasi gusto ko malaman ang steps ng pagpapa assess sa Engineers australia. Anong path ang dapat ko kunin? Any help will be appreciated thanks!

@MLBS Most of the Engineers from PH go thru the CDR path wherein you need to write Career Episodes highlighting your engineering knowledge and skills, you may consult EA website for the official handbook and guidelines.

wala bang nakalagay sa degree cert mo na specific date? if meron, i think try a higher resolution.
Ang inupload ko kasi ay yung cert of compeletion from grad office. Nung tinanong ko sila, hindi daw kasi sila naglalagay ng specific date. Yung cert of graduation from registrar merong date of graduation pero dun kasi sa binigay ni CO ito sabi:
"PLEASE NOTE: the conferral /awarded/graduation date is not sufficient The applicant should provide proof of the date of completion of their course, not the date of graduation or conferral of their degree."
Ano ba pinasa ng mga na grant na ang 476?

@lovenalmanzor Hi. I graduated from UPD. UP grads lang sa ngayon ang eligible for this visa 476.

Hello everyone! Gusto ko pa sanang magconsult sa mga nakakaalam dito. Eligible po ako sa subclass 476. Ang takot ko po is, walang makitang trabaho para sakin as Chemical Engineer. Isa pa, no experience din pa po kasi sa field. Sino po ba may alam dito ng demand sa chem eng or sa engineering as a general? lalo na po kung pinoy? thanks!

@iammaxwell1989 unfortunately all engineers from Philippines must apply via CDR
@RheaMARN1171933 I'm unsure if I asked anything in relation to your response as I've been out of action for quite some time. But you're correct, engineering graduates from the Philippines need to submit a CDR for EA skills assessment.
Good luck sa mga 476ers!

Ganun po ba? Nagpunta po kasi ako sa isang seminar about visa grants from engineers from UP no less than 2 yrs palang graduate. Sumakto po kasi sa condition ko. So ayun nga po, eligible ako para kumuha ng 467. Kamusta po ang demand ng engineers sa australia particularly chem eng if may info po? salamat!

@iammaxwell1989 sorry, I was checking out this post, I didn't realise I was reading old comments. I'm an agent trying to help in the little way I can those looking at making the move.
RheaMARN1171933Posts: 2,695Member, Administrator, Moderator Joined: Mar 10, 2016
@Phil29 467 does not require point test. Sorry to confuse you. I accidentally replied to an old message.
This is a tricky plan as most employers would prefer those with PR visa. Just to give you a bit of a perspective, my husband went back to Australia after finishing his engineering degree in Germany took 3 months to get a job in Sydney ( I haven't met at that time) considering he had the German education which we all are aware that it's known for engineering and that he's Swiss-German but also has an Australian passport.
Phil29Philippines Posts: 8Member Joined: Nov 30, 2017
awwww, thanks ma'am for that helpful information. At first, it seem perfect to me because conditions are met. But then, I am afraid because of my lack of experience. I think I need to research further and ask people like you ma'am what are the realities there. Thanks po!
Phil29Philippines Posts: 8Member Joined: Nov 30, 2017
Pero hindi naman po ba impossible na makahanap ako ng mga part time work or other full time na kahit hindi line sa pinagaralan ko po?
@Phil29 Basta may work. If ever na wala ka pa makuha na inline sa engg after a few weeks, go for something else muna. Baka maubos agad funds mo if you wait for a significant amount of time.

If makapagpasa po ako ng requirements ko before july 2018, eligible parin po ako for 476? or kailangan magkaroon sila ng verdict sakin before july 2018? Kailangan ko po kasi talaga i-stretch yung timeline as much as possible for my current work here in Philippines. And IED if ever ma grant ako is 1 year??? tama po ba? Salamat po pls help me!! T_T

This is a tricky plan as most employers would prefer those with PR visa. Just to give you a bit of a perspective, my husband went back to Australia after finishing his engineering degree in Germany took 3 months to get a job in Sydney ( I haven't met at that time) considering he had the German education which we all are aware that it's known for engineering and that he's Swiss-German but also has an Australian passport.
