Hello po sa lahat,

May tanong po ako regarding sa Job Descirption. I am currently working here in Qatar.

Ang Job title ko po sa company ay Customer Service Representative, pero job description ko closely match sa ICT Customer Service Officer (313112).

Ang tanong ko po ay magkakaroon po ba ng conflict yun mga employment documents ko kung iba nmn ung Job title ko? Nka kuha na rin po ako ng statutory decleration with letter head and stamp.

Maraming salamat po.

@greysworld123 , may result naba TRA assessment mo? Oo Dubai din ako.

Megger · September 2017

@allynivee , In my personal opinion, what really matters is nag match yong details nang JD mo sa mga experience na hinahanap ng chosen profession mo. And syempre mostlikely magkakalapit lang yong Job titles kasi same lang naman halos yong jobs/skill, although not exactly the same word for word. In your case common word yong customer service. Maybe lets ask din yong mga may experience na tulad sayo.

allynivee · September 2017

@Megger thank you po!

tanong ko lang kung magkano ang yung bayad para sa 313112 assesment sa TRA?

Megger · September 2017

@allynivee Fix at di naka depende sa ANZSCO code ang fees. Last time I paid in UAE currency, baka nag iba na rin ang price. Kindly check sa TRA website nalang for the exact amount. God bless your processing

allynivee · September 2017

@Megger boss, salamat po sa pag reply

may clarrification lang po ako banda sa MSA - Employer template, sa applicant Job tasks and duties, I have 10 bulleted job role po kasi, tapos hindi sya mag kasya dun sa text box, sabi ng agent kailangan daw mag kasya, or upon printing makita lahat ng mga job roles.

by the way, kinopya ko lang po ung nakasulat sa dutty letter ko na naka statutory declaration, meron po ba kayo mai-aadvice patungkol dito?

Megger · September 2017

@allynivee , during my time we submit it through mail, bali kung short sa space, dagdag lang ng print out ng form, Im not sure if ganun parin ba ngayon, parang online na ata submission nyo. Anyway, I think you can rephrase it para mapagkasya. Shorten but same thought.

leli7_4 · September 2017

Good day everyone, maginquire lang po, at thanks in advance sa mga sasagot.

I'm planning to migrate sa AUS from SG, and hopefully makasunod ang mag-aaaa ko.
I have over 15 yrs xp sa IT (Service Desk, IT support L2, and currently dual role as workload coordinator/ Incident manager)

7 yrs now with current employer(SG)
2.5 yrs combined with previous bank (SG)
4 yrs combined with firm sa pinas

for the skills assessment - TRA, for the COE, is it enough if indicated long dun un duration and assigned role? or need mas detailed pa? Need pa din ba payslips from previous company?
-I read online na pede din ang Notice of assessment (Tax), which I have copies from 2011-2017 (this covers only my current employer) Do I need to add that as evidence if meron na COE?

-Also I will be 39 by July next year, very slim na ba ang chances ko na umabot sa score na required for skilled immigrant?

-I have scheduled ielts for next month and is overwhelmed with info for the next steps, Anyone here na nag process without help ng agency? How long po inapt and how much ang damage?

I apologise in advance sa madam ko pong tanong,

Would appreciate any feedback po.

allynivee · October 2017

Hello po sa lahat ng mga bossing!

Hingi po ulit ako ng advice.

Nagpapagawa po kasi ang ng Salary Certificate sa HR namin, kaso ayaw tanggapin ng HR namin yung "To whom it may concern" or "The Immigration officer", kailangan po nila malaman kung kanino pwede i aadress.

Hingi po sana ako ng advice, salamat po

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@leli7_4 hi Leli, as per VETASSESS, your certificate of employment or employer statement should contain the following:

The Statement of Service must include the following:

a) The company letterhead

b) Your full name

c) The working hours per week

d) Your official position title (s) held at the organisation

e) The exact period of your employment in each position held

f) Description of your main duties for each position held

g) The salary earned

h) Official contact details and signature of the person writing the statement of service – references from colleagues at the same level or below will not be accepted.

If you want to inlude all your working years in your application then you will need at least 3 payslips from each company, no need to submit all of it and yes, you will need to submit tax papers as well.

Being 39 will give you 25 points and if you act now, VETASSESS results come out in 12-18 weeks, EOI pool draws are twice a month and if invited, as long as you are 39 or below when you lodge your Visa application that will be accepted.

No need to use agency, they will make you pay twice as much or even more for a self-done application, but if you are busy then it will be of big help. I have processed my student visa and now, processing my permanent residency on my own.

With IELTs, aim for a 7 for each band.

With the damage, expect an estimate of:
IELTS - PHP10,000
VETASSESS:
STAGE 1 APPLICATION AND EMPLOYMENT CHECK - AUD 960
STAGE 1 TECHNICAL INTERVIEW - AUD 1,400
STAGE 2 PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT - AUD 1,400
EOI - FREE
VISA APPLICATION - 3,670
PLUS MEDICAL FEES, NOTARY, ETC - UNKNOWN

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@allynivee hi Ally, just 3 copies of payslips are enough so you won't need to hassle HR about a salary cert, VETASSESS won't need it.

allynivee · October 2017

@heero_yuy51 Hello bossing!

may problema din po kasi sa payslip ko.

i am working here in qatar since 2011, cash basis po ung sahod. tapos nabasa ko rin kasi kung cash basis, yung income tax something ibibigay, kaso wala din po tax dito sa qatar.

Yung company namin, nabigay ng salary card from 2012-2015, i asked the bank kung pwede makuha ang bank statement, nirefer naman ako sa HR namin, sabi d din nila maibigay.

from 2016-2017 nag debit card na kami, yun lang daw pwede maibigay na bank statement sa akin.

tapos kung sa payslip ko naman, nag start ng automated system ung payroll namin 2014 pa...

ano po dapat gawin mga bosing?

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@allynivee you can ask the bank to provide a bank statement (or list of transactions) for you and they will definitely charge you for that. Para lang may documents ka. Sa loob ng statement makikita na may pumapasok sayo every month good na yun for Vetassess lalo na makikita nila where it came from. Try to ask bankers again and again kasi iba iba ang tawag sa bank/balance statement for every country.

Otherwise, when you ask for a certificate of employment nakalagay na dapat ang sahod mo dun per month, please refer sa taas na post ko for Leli na required na nakasulat sa COE

If all else fails, mag statuatory declaration ka saying your HR refuses to give you a salary statement as well as your bank, indicate Hr details and Vetassess will be the one to contact your Hr.

switpotato · October 2017

@inigodv sorry brod medyo busy ngayon lang naka-online uli. 342314: ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT TRADES WORKER (GENERAL) ang ANZCO code ko.

daye00 · October 2017

Hi ulit ask ko lang kung un detailed COE ba kailangan sa TRA requirments? Wala kasi ako nababasa sa website nila na kasama sa required docs na kelangan iprovide or Baka d ko lang nakikita. Please need your response asap. Eto lang po kasi nakikita ko sa website nila

Evidence
Please ensure you have colour scans of your original:
passport
qualification/s
academic transcript/s for each qualification
a completed employer template/self employment template for each employment period claimed
pay evidence for each period of employment claimed.

leli7_4 · October 2017

@heero_yuy51 hello po, and thank you sa pagsagot.
got confused there, why po vetassess? di po ba dapat TRA aka mgpa-assess?

and for the SD if the previous company is only able to provide generic template - role and duration, pede po ba na un manager ko ang ilagay ko na contact - na resigned na din dun?

the amount you provided is for the main applicant lang po noh?
dey, 7k+ na agad itey!

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@leli7_4 hi Leli, sorry I stand corrected, TRA pala ang sayo ang assessment costs only AUD1,000 for an applicant, then if negative outcome, AUD for a reassessment.

If they are unable to provide your roles, SD will be ok and provide at least 3 payslips. If you have a contract please do include it in your application. I have submitted a generic COE from an old employer and my managar has since resigned but contact details are still updated and I'm pretty sure that the Case officer will contact her for details anyway kahit hindi nakasulat yun sa form *fingers crossed*

leli7_4 · October 2017

@heero_yuy51 I see, ambilis magreply! thanks! lurk mode now sa mga steps.
So TRA - max of 10 points, I can also do Vetassess after TRA to get +5 since diploma (computer engineering) holder naman aketch..

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@leli7_4 may I ask what occupation in IT are u applying for? may Anzsco code ka na ba? If ever, they might point you to ACS for assessment, maybe Vetassess too but not so sure.

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@daye00 hi daye, please use yung format for VETASSESS because for TRA, they will still point you to VETASSESS or other skills assessment body like Victoria University or William angliss institue, etc. All of them follows the same format for the COE.

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@allynivee and if same employer, your bank statement from 2016 shall suffice, they won't need your bank statement from 2011.

daye00 · October 2017

Thank you so much for your response @heero_yuy51

based on the description, i can go for either :

263112 - Network Administrator
Installs and maintains hardware and software, documents diagnosis and resolution of faults, manages user passwords, security and inventory documentation, ensures the efficient performance of servers, printers and personal computers, and attends to other operational tasks. May also perform tasks such as help desk support and user training.

or

263212 - ICT Support Engineer
Develops support procedures and strategies for systems, networks, operating systems and applications development, solves problems and provides technical expertise and direction in support of system infrastructure and process improvements, and diagnoses and resolves complex system problems.

am leaning towards 263212, since un ICT core and closely related units ang mas pasok sa banga.

-me nakita din kase ako na ANZSCO Code -313112 ICT CUSTOMER SUPPORT OFFICER,
and found out eto un naging path ng kakilala ko with almost same xp na na nasa SA na ngaun. ECE engineering grad, ng TRA cia aka RPL route. So dun ako nalilito....

heero_yuy51 · October 2017

@leli7_4

Based on https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00850 , ANZSCO Codes 263112 and 212, assessing body is ACS.

Here's the link: https://www.acs.org.au/

However, 313112 is only in the Short Term Skilled Occupation list, and the only way to get a PR with this occupation is through the State Sponsored Stream (PR visa 190) or you would have to find an Employer to sponsor your move (TR visa 457).

Either choose the between the first 2 codes in the list first, have a read about roles and responsibilities for the 2 occupations and then tailor your Self Declarations or your COE roles and responsibilities so they will fall in line with the requirements of your chosen code.

Be aware that assessing bodies will take out 1 year experience from you, as it is their rule. Say you have 7 years work experience and if all years are accounted for, they will only count 6.

greysworld123 · October 2017

Hello po..ask ko lang po kung sino dito waiting matapos ang skills assessment from TRA? ganun po ba tlg katagal? kasi almost 2 months na po ung samen altho I know naman po na 30-60 working days. Thank u po.

Krisdi · October 2017

Hello po. I'm in a bit of dilemma and I'm hoping someone could help. I am a graduate of Management Accounting. My qualification is already assessed as comparable to Bachelor's Degree by CAA.

Mejo mahirap maka receive ng invite ang Accountants so I'm planning to nominate "ICT Customer Support Officer - ANZSCO 313112" instead. TRA daw assessing body.

Questions:
1. My Qualification is not related to "ICT Customer Support Officer", do I still need to have RPL to get assessed by TRA?
2. If I do get certified and have RPL, do I get to claim points for my work experience ON TOP of my qualification points (yung 15pts na Bachelor's degree ko)?

I guess worried lang ako baka wala na kwenta Bachelor's degree ko. Not really understanding how this stuff works.

Maraming salamat po.
