    Good day!

    Medyo malayo sa topic pasensya na po.

    I'm a B.S. Civil Engineering graduate sa Philippines pero ang field ko is structural engineering. I have 7 years work experience (Phi & abroad). Napansin ko medyo matagal, mahirap at magastos ang pag-process ng visa pag Skilled Migrant. Usually pag engineers ang hinahanap sa mga pinoy skilled migrants is "local experience". Tingin ko by "local experience" they mean knowledge about Australian Design Codes (one of the requirements).

    Naisip ko, mag-aral muna sa Au ng Diploma Course like Advanced Structural Engineering then habang nag-aaral try maghanap ng employers na mag-sponsor ng work visa. Tingin ko mas madaling makahanap ng employers na mag-sponsor o ng work na related sa experience ko kasi magkakaruon na ako ng in-depth knowledge sa Australian Code.

    Tanong lang po. May nakagawa na ba nito (either ibang profession or kapareho ko ng work experience?).

    Of course pede ka pang pg apply again.
    am from CDO also. We applied for my son's Astralian student visa thru IDP Cebu (FREE walang bayad!).
    Here's their website: http://www.philippines.idp.com/contact_us_old/cebu.aspx
    You don't have to go to Cebu. We communicated thru phone and email. We just send to them all necessary document thru courier.

    Hi Guys! I need some advice. I'm applying on my own, I already have a COE so I'm about to lodge my application. I just want to know about my dependent. I have an 8 year old daughter. Do I have to enrol her before I lodge my application or is it okay to enrol her when we arrived to AU. I'm a bit worried about this. Thanks for your help.

    hi, i checked visa 485 in diac and required 2 years of study to be able to apply for this. i might take up 1 yearof masters degree in university of western sydney next year.
    question:
    @logic420 @beaj
    totoo ba yung new proposal na one is eligible for post work visa after bachelers or masters degree? one year lang kasi the masters that i will be taking up kasi sobrang mahal.
    -----------
    and correct ko lang misconception @logic420
    there are 2 kinds of masters, coursework and research
    pag coursework, 40 hours per fortnight pa rin the work hours
    pag research lang po unlimited number of hours

    @aussilyn tama si cheers ang enrollment per se pagdating mo na sa Australia. Pero kelangan lang ma ensure ng embassy na mag aaral ang mga bata 6yrs old up dahil compulsory yun sa kanila kaya ang proof mo eh yung CoP.

    @knight i'll be studying in queensland, di sila nagbibigay ng CoP. They would request for the full payment of tuition fee so they can send the COE.
