Here's my story. Fresh graduate po ako ng Industrial Engineering sa isa sa mga kilalang universities sa NCR kaso lang po kasi nagkaroon ako ng ilang failed subjects nung college kasi unexpectedly nagkasakit ako. In terms of point/credit system, paano po ba tinitingnan yung sa Educational Background? Sa school po ba, sa grades o pareho? Ano po kaya magiging counterpart ng Bachelor's degree ko sa Australia given na may failed subjects ako? Ayos lang po kaya yun o big deal yun? Alam ko po wala pa kong experience kaya di ko na po muna iaattempt yung route ng Skilled-Independent Visa. Iniisip ko po na baka pwedeng makapunta ako dun via Student Visa muna. Ano po kaya magandang kuning masters (if and only if applicable), short course/s, diploma or certificate na related sa Industrial Engineering para po mas mapataas yung chances ko na maging permanent resident doon someday. In terms of food, lodging and other expenses while staying there, no problem naman po kasi titira ako sa Tita ko sa Sydney. In terms of tuition fee, kaya naman pong iutang muna sa mga kamag-anak namin basta wag lang sobrang mahal. Kung sakaling lumusot sa student visa, alin po dito yung totoo? (1) papayagan ka magpart-time work ng 20 hours per week o (2) bawal ka magtrabaho -for strict compliance?
Sana po may makatulong sakin. Gusto ko na pong makatulong sa pamilya namin. Maraming salamat po in advance.

About sa student visa, hindi na daw basta basta makakakuha ng such visa kapag may undergrad na. Most likely master's degree na ang kailangan i undertake para magrant, and mas mahal ang tuition fee pag foreign students (I checked para sa nursing undergrad sa AU, almost 3 million ang total tuition for the duration of the degree w/c is 3 years).
Message me bro if you need any clarifications. Fresh grad din ako like you, ECE student nga lang haha. Iilan lang tayo dito sa forum na fresh grad at nagbalak na sa AU, so don't hesitate to ask me. Godbless!

Mechanical Engineers look like they got their full 108 invites as they were the first in the 65 point
queue. The increase in overall numbers to 1750 will ensure they will move through their backlog
and not lose any of the 108 invites to the 489 system for the two September invitation rounds.
There is potential for their 65 point DOE to move about a month each round, getting to maybe the
end of February 2017 by the second round in September.
