    @agentKams hi! Thank you! I did! Medyo na-confuse lang ako sa process. Thanks to @sunflower for replying and also, nag-email din ako sa school about it. Kelangan nga daw onshore.

    @aspirant0508 Your OSHC should ideally start the day you depart for Australia :)

    @julypearl not sure if same sa queensland but when i asked dito sa Victoria how long is the processing time for working with children, sabi ng kausap ko kapag daw bago pa lang sa oz ung applicant mas mabilis kasi wala pang history dito sa oz.

    Guys I wanna get your insights about this one. Ano ano ang reasons nyo why you pursued/want to pursue studying sa AU? from what I've noticed kasi people here study para makaland ng PR eventually. I'm assuming wala sa MLTSSL/STSOL occupations ng people na yun kaya they want to study pa? Here is my case kasi:

    1. I hold a degree na nasa MLTSSL
    2. Complete na ako sa requirements,pero mababa sa points. that is why binabalak ko mag aral ng diploma courses lang sa AU pandagdag sa pts for PR e. pero sana di ko na kailanganin gastos din kasi
    3. If wala pa ako invite by July/August, push ko na student visa

    Basically, if I study, it's for the reason na dagdag sya sa pts. Imbis na 3 yrs exp dito na baka di naman i-honor, 2 yrs study nalang.

    I'd like to know ano ang degrees nyo na natapos nyo and degrees na balak nyo aralin sa AU, school din if possible. Any insight will be appreciated. Balak ko sa october intake if ever. Thanks! :D

    My decision to study was purely for professional development; I had no plans of migrating in AU when I applied for my school (my initial plan was to migrate in Canada). The course I selected kasi is only offered in Australia; walang universities in other countries offer a curriculum that integrates psychology and engineering within the lighting design program.

    Technically, even without the AU study I could qualify for GSM since my occupation (I'm archi grad in UST) is in the MLTSSL, but I really want to study first while the program I want is still being offered by the university hehe. Added bonus nalang na makakadagdag sa points ang AU study :)
