    @Cassey Thanks po. I have enough experience as Anaesthesia Unit Nurse, just worried with all the change in work sponsorship and the number of PR applicants considering my points. Hopefully I will be blessed on this AU journey :)

    @MissAussie If it's ok, balitaan mo naman ako sa result with your work application and for your batchmates. Honestly I'm worried to the point on having 2nd thoughts on leaving my current work. Ayaw ko din mag antay ng matagal sa pinas esp 65 points lang ako tapos I cant really rely on the state sponsorship. Im also closely monitoring the PR invites, 70 or 75 lang yung mka receive ng invitation as of now. Are you doing your BP in Sydney?

    @drnc_13 Isa sa pinakatinitignan is yung reference letter so make sure na it’s following the format that was given by ANMAC.

    @LovellaEllen That’s actually a good experience. I remembered my hubby’s company was looking for an Anes Nurse before but they couldn’t find one. I’ll ask him if they’re still in need of one and I’ll let you know.

    @LovellaEllen Going to a foreign country always comes with risks. Kung alam mo na gagawin mo rin siya sooner or later, bakit mo pa papatagalin. Baka pagkadecided ka na, iba na yung policies uli, so just jump in. Kung hindi ka man makakuha ng sponsorship at least nakaone step ahead ka na at may hinihintay ka. It’s totally worth it, especially for Nurses. Anyway, once you’re done with your BP just give me a buzz. :) All the best!

    @breezeb Hi, not necessarily na may prob. Usually pag ganyan na yung email malapit ng lumabas yung result. Most of the applicants na nakakuha niyan got their eligibility letter after a week.

    @paanfsurn Yes, you need to include the anzsco code in the professional preference. I've sent you a sample of professional preference, hope that helps. Sure, I'll share my BP experience later when I'm almost done..

    @MissAussie Been living here in Melbourne for 5yrs already. :) We were once like you guys and I remember saying to others “Buti pa kayo PR na” and with God’s grace, we are now living in their shoes as well. In due time, you’ll be PR here na rin, just keep on persevering and don’t forget to pray. :)
