@arc123 as per HFA website po, hindi po kasama sa eligible qualification ang diploma and certs:

For the purposes of applying for a subclass 485 visa under the Post-Study Work stream, only study that results in the conferral of an eligible degree level qualification will be considered. An eligible degree level qualification is a:

Hello, meron ba nka try dito npag tapos na ng Nursing Conversion Course and needed to extend their visa? example: Studying Diploma in Leadership and Management. Ng provide ba uli kayo ng show money sa immigration to extend your visa?

@agentKams Maam, hello. In line with the topic here, may i ask if pwedeng mag apply for PR yung graduating palang?

agentKams · February 2018

@Donnajanice hello, yes you can lodge your EOI anytime. but you cannot claim points for your degree here if hindi mo pa tapos. As long as you meet the required points and mainvite ka, you can apply. but always check what you claim sa points mo.

Donnajanice · February 2018

@agentKams Hi, I've noticed na CPAA din yung nag assess sayo. May I ask if what specific masters yung kinuha mo?

thank you!

agentKams · February 2018

@Donnajanice Master of Business Admin and Master of Professional Acctg.

@agentKams Hi po, ask ko lang po sana mam if sa course nyo na masteral mga magkano po estimation ng tuition? May marefer po ba kayo school na affordable?

agentKams · February 2018

@Danielle21 hello. Total course fee ko totalled est $60k. 2.5 yrs kasi iyong masters program ko. Im not sure what master's prpgram you are taking, kaya i cant suggest. But nornally university course fee range between 12k up per sem.

@agentKams Hi, ask ko lang if may knowledge ka sa dilemma namin ng wife ko. Kasi dentist wife ko with more than 5 yrs professional experience sa PH. Then balak nya mag Masters sa University of Melbourne, may chance kaya kami to apply PR after her graduation? Kasi hindi pa sya licensed dentist sa AU by the time she graduated kaya hindi namin alam ano ang inonominate? Thanks in advance.

agentKams · February 2018

@onehitwonder hello po, sorry i dont have any idea with regards sa situation niyo.

kymme · February 2018

@onehitwonder if PR pathway po aim usually suggestion ng mga migration agent, study a course na mka gain ka ng ‘skill’ as per migration skill list. eg sa mga nurses, we do bachelor in nursing or bridging program pra ma register dito sa Au and nsa skill list kami so yun ang oathway for migration.

if kelangan maging registered dentist dito sa au and nsa skill list xa, let your wife do courses or exams na maging registered dentist xa.

kasi yug masters course sa nursing e optional lang kasi it doesnt really lead to PR. additional education xa

@agentKams thank you.

@kymme thank you sa pagsagot. Sige weigh in namin options namin.

reesh · April 2018

@agentKams hi! Im currently taking my master of management pero my friends are suggesting na magshift ako to master of professional accounting dahil hindi daw kasama sa list yung MM. any advice?

agentKams · April 2018

@reesh i have changed my program to MPA as well because its more related to my nominated occupation. what are your plans after you finish studies ba?

onehitwonder · April 2018

Hello question lang ulit. Being a graduate of bachelor of fine arts major in advertising, currently 70 pts as a marketing specialist. Ano magandang path para sa akin

Opt 1.
Iniisip ko magaral ng diploma of marketing and communication sa Tasmania. After a year na magaral pwede na kami mag apply ng visa 489.

Or

Opt 2.
Study master in professional accouting sa Melbourne. After 2 years pwede rin ba ako mag apply ng PR.

So far ang tinitimbang namin is mas affordable yung opt 1 and shorter time. Question ko is mataas ba chance namin to get visa 489 after?

Or opt 2, masmatagal and masmagastos pero can i apply for PR afterwards po?

Thank you.

agentKams · April 2018

@onehitwonder i suggest improve your scores in English, it is expensive to do the student pathway and the time invested is too long. unpredictable din ang changes ngayon sa immigration baka pag-land niyo dito on student visa nagchange na naman ang requirements.

onehitwonder · April 2018

@agentKams noted yan, salamat.

reesh · April 2018

@agentKams After grad, we plan to apply for the postgrad visa and try applying for a job. Pero mas gusto sana namin na mkapag apply for PR. I am not sure kasi if kakayanin ko ang MPA kasi to be honest I had a hard time with accounting during my college years. Kaya hesitant ako to shift.

agentKams · April 2018

@reesh for me mas mahirap iyong management compare to MPA. weigh your options as early as now for your future PR application.

Hi! Question. I’m going to have my 1 year conversion program of BSN this year. Since it’s not eligible for visa subclass 485, would it be a smart move to study masteral of nursing (or any post grad studies) after my conversion program for me to be able to apply for 485? Thanks

MLBS · May 2018

@abbygailmbn why not apply for pr after studying? Aabot pts mo sa 60 even without exp basta superior english.

abbygailmbn · May 2018

@MLBS diba ang acceptable years of study is 2 years? Di ako pasok cause 1 year lang conversion program

MLBS · May 2018

@abbygailmbn Yes 2 yrs pero hindi ba pts system din ang nurses kahit dumaan sa conversion program? I was able to get 60 pts for my EOI kahit fresh grad lang ako e.

When you’re on 485 visa you need to maximize it.
- look or move sa state na nagssponsor ng skills mo. Usually if you move inter-state may waiting time before you can apply for state nomination.
- find a job that is related to the skill you’re applying.
- take PTE
- plan your visa pathway 189, 190 or regional provisional
