So pag ganon na case, once nasa Au at nagBBP, dapat makahanap kana agad ng magssponsor sayo ng working visa. D na ideal umuwi pa.

May pagkakaiba yun sa singil. Yung may "Subcribed and sworn to..." since essentially it becomes a public document and a notary may be asked to appear before a court if it is used as evidence, nasa 150 to 200 pesos ata ang parang prescribed fee ng Supreme Court. Nauso kasi ang pag scrutinize ng mga notarized documents dahil sa mga live coverage ng impeachments at committee hearings sa senate. Yung simple certified true copy ay may nabasa ako na 20 pesos per page daw sa may Makati.
Now, para sa Australian requirements (AHPRA, ANMAC, visa application), what they require is that a public notary signs the document with the phrase "I have sighted the original and certify this to be a true copy of the original." essentially pareho lang ng "certified true copy" pero ang allowed lang na mag sign dito sa atin ay either sa Australian embassy or a notary public.
Since notary public ang signatory, tinatawag din syang notarized.

Dito sa Au, kapag sinabing “Certified Copy” it means na someone saw the original. Only selected professions can certify documenfs here in Au like Nurses, Pharmacists, Police Officers among others. What people do here in Au is they bring their original copies together with the photocopies to whoever certifies documents where they write or stamp “Certified True Copy of the Original” in the photocopies and sign it. Most of the places are free of charge but some charge a fee.
Now, since ang Philippines is outside Australia ang pwede lang magcertify ay yung mga nasa Notary public, JP, Employee of the Commonwealth, Australian Diplomatic Officer etc. Ang pinakahandy for most of the applicants ay yung notary public so we call it “Notarized” instead of “Certified” just to prevent confusion since iba yung nakukuha nating CTC’d copy from the issuing authority at yung certified ng notary public.

Hi, wala namang mas advantageous sa dalawa. At the end of the day, pareho lang naman silang maglelead sa registration. Kapag gusto mong matapos ng mas mabilis, you can take BP but if you want to take your time you can do conversion course. Once you have become an RN here in Au, employers won’t ask what pathway you took kasi hindi naman nila alam yun. I would say na ang pinakatinitignang factor when it comes to finding a job is yung experience mo overseas. With your specialty, I don’t think mahihirapan kang maghanap ng work rito. With the PR application naman, wala ka namang makukuhang points for BP or Conversion (not unless na you took a 2yr Conversion course). Yung bilis ng PR application ay nakadepende sa points mo for migration at hindi sa tinapos.
Ang pinakachallenge is yung Visa. Even if you are an RN here in Au kung wala kang valid visa to work and stay here, at bay ka muna. At the moment matagal ang processing time ng PR and even with 457, So have an emergency fund just in case.
