20 hours kaya ba bayaran ang tuition and other expenses?

adamson187adamson187 PhlippinesPosts: 24Member
Hi,
Kaya bang magsurvive ng work na 20hours/week?

Libre na ang bahay ko dahil dun ako sa tita ko titira pero siempre kahit papano magshashare pa rin ako ng food,electricity and water kasi nakakahiya naman kahit sabahin niang libre lahat.hehehe. Married na ako at may dalawang anak ako so it means kailangan ko magpadala ng atleast 30k/month.

Balak ko kumuha ng BS MEDICAL RADIATION SCIENCE sa CURTIN UNIVERSITY.
TUITION FEE: 32,500 AUD / Year.

Thank in advance sa mga sagot,advice and sa pagshare ng opinion

    With that high of a tuition it would probably not be enough. Kasama nyo ba asawa nyo sa oz? Ganyan style ng iba dito e nagtatrabaho yung couple para makasabay sa gastos. Doing it alone would be quite impossible kasi 32500 per year ang tuition nyo.

    @adamson187 check nyo rin muna on how to get a positive assessment on those occupations since some need work exp. Baka kasi you still need exp pa after mo mag aral e so always keep that in mind. Student din ang path ko pero I already have a positive assessment so kumuha lang ako ng murang course for the sake ng points. All the best.

    @adamson187 work health and safety. Engineering kasi ako e. Mind you, may positive assessment na ako since 2017 kaya di ko na nakita ang sense mag masters. I really cant give you advice kasi it will depend on what field you are able to get an assessment, I can only provide insights if engg related. Lets wait for others na nasa medical profession din

    @adamson187 Kung ang long-term goal mo ay maging PR ang suggestion ko aralin mo na ngayon pa lang yung process and requirements para maging PR. Unang-una, alamin mo kung nasa list yung current occupation mo. Ito yung list
    https://archive.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/work/work/skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/combined-stsol-mltssl

    Kung nandyan yung current occupation mo, alamin mo yung list of tasks na expected na ginagawa ng occupation na iyan. Pwede mong iGoogle lang yung ANZSCO code, ito yung 6 digits sa tapat ng occupation sa list. Para lang sigurado ka na yung work experience mo swak sa expectations sa occupation na yan. Tapos dun sa list ng occupations makikita mo sa isang column sa tapat ng occupation mo kung sino yung assessing authority. Ito yung column na may nakasulat na, halimbawa, Vetassess, TRA, ACS, etc.

    Punta ka sa website nung assessing authority and hanapin mo requirements nila para sa successful skills assessment. Iba-iba yung requirements per occupation and per assessing body. May occupations na okay lang diploma and may occupations na kailangan bachelor's degree. Meron occupation na okay walang work experience and meron din kailangan may specific years of experience.

    Ngayon kung sa tingin mo kaya mong makakuha ng positive skills assessment using yung degree na natapos mo na dito and using your current work experience, pwede mo na i-estimate kung ilan magiging points mo for PR. Kasi kung pasok naman sa required 65 points and sa tingin mo maiinvite ka sa visa 189 or may states na magssponsor sa iyo for visa 190 or 489 pwede mo nang consider na dumerecho na sa path na yan.

    Kung wala sa list yung occupation mo or kulang ka sa educational requirements or experience, I think best na maintindihan mo kung paano makakatulong yung aaralin mo sa Australia sa future chance mo na ma-invite to apply for a PR visa.

    @maguero salamat po sa info. wala sa occupational list un work ko..nagsearch ako ng job description at hindi match ang radiology previous work ko. mas match ang job description ko sa physiotherapist at exercise physiologist.

    about po dun sa point system? hindi ko po masearch kng san ko malalaman kung eligible ako PR.

    @adamson187 Pwede mo itong gamitin to estimate your points. This fiscal year tumaas na minimum points required to 65 points.

    @adamson187 Btw, basta match sa tasks ng isang occupation yung work experience mo, maski iba yung naging job title mo okay lang yun. Mas tinitignan yung educational qualification and actual work experience kesa sa job title.

    @maguero ang hirap po .. hehhe. mejo di ko pa magets un point system nila..

    sinearch ko un physiotherapy na course. ang mahal din pala halos hindi sila nagkakalayo ng radiology.

    nagtataka ako un sa mga nababasa ko dito sa forum paano nila naproprovide un ganong kalaking tuition gaya ng nursing. samantalang hindi naman nagkakalayo ng tuition un ibang health care courses.

    kaya napapaisip ako kung ano gagawin ko kasi gusto ko talagang makapunta ng australia at magapply for PR.

    problem is the money kung paanong diskarte gagawin ko sa trabaho since 20 hours lang ang allowed.

    @adamson187 Hindi ako masyado familiar sa health related na fields. Pero baka gusto mo subukan dun sa General Skilled Migration na thread o kaya sa Health Care na thread dito rin sa PinoyAU. Baka meron kasing ganyan din ang occupation sa iyo na makatulong kung paano ka makaka-PR.

    Dun naman sa points system may 4 main sources of points - yung age, educational qualification, work experience, and English test results. Kung aabot ka sa 65 points base sa 4 sources na yan okay ka. May occupations nga lang na mataas ang required points kaya dun na papasok yung didiskartehan kung paano mapapataas ang points. Example, may NAATI translation exam na mahal pero pag pumasa ka may +5 points. O kaya pwede ka mag-apply ng visa 190 meron kang +5 points or visa 489 na +10 points naman, etc. Maraming info pero maintindihan din lahat yan. Tanong-tanong ka lang din dito.

    I always point out sa mga student pathway to check first if you qualify for the skilled migrant visa. Marami nacoconvince agad sa mga sweet promises ng mga agents. Kung talagang pag-aaral ang purpose mo then theres no problem pero kung goal mo is PR, explore first the skilled migrant pathway and go for student visa kung wala na talagang other way and you wanted to come here in Au. Student to PR is a long and expensive process. You just hope na by the time matapos ang studies mo, nandon pa sa list ang nominated occupation mo for you to apply.

    @fgs salamat po sa sagot. speaking of agents nagbabasa basa ako ngayon ng mga agnecy.

    at ang madalas ko nababasa na maganda eh respall tsk un kokos . parehas lang ba sila?
    correct me im wrong kasi base sa mga nbasa ko yun respall,migration agency talaga samantalang yun kokos naman eh parang sa student visa lang.

    tama po ba?

    at karamihan din sa mga nababasa ko dito sa forum gaya nga din ng sabi niyo magpaassess muna ako kng eligible ba ako for PR bago magapply for international student.

    If you have time at gusto makatipid, DIY na lang
    Heres's the process( hope covers everything) visa 189,190,489

    1. Check the SOL if your nominated occupation( based on work experience) is on the list
    2. Estimate your score ( current passing score is 65)..you can just google POINTS TEST AUSTRALIA
    3. Apply for skills assessment( assessing body on SOL)
    4. Take english test
    5. Create EOI on DHA website
    6. Apply for state sponsorahip if needed( addtl points for state sponsorship. You can apply directly for sponsorship sa state or for some states, wait for them to invite you to apply
    7. Wait for invitation to apply from Dept of immigration
    8. Apply for a visa and wait

    You can prepare all the documents while waiting for the invitation- Documents to support your claims in your EOI.

    @adamson187 btw if you plan on having an agent do your research din kasi iooffer nila sayo yung mga partner schools nila which puro universities na mahal ang tuition. Saka usually walang idea yan sa PR path, kaya ibabato ka lang nila sa courses na handle nila. You might end up in australia agad pero marrealize mo na your study gets you nowhere so think about your strategy as early as now.

    @MLBS Natural and Physical Science Professionals nec--234999---MLTSSL--186, 407, TSS (M)---VETASSESS.. yan yun nakalagay. kasi search ako ng search kung san under un respiratory scientist which halos parehas na pareahs lang sa job description ko kaya ayan ang nakita ko under sia na Natural and Physical Professionals .

    balak ko sana magpatulong na lang ako sa agency RESPAL. kasi marami akong nabasang maganda feedback dun eh. ano po sa tingin nio?

    @adamson187 looks like wala sya sa 189/190/489 na visas, meaning di ka pwede mag apply ng skilled migration using that occupation. 186 visa kasi is dapat sponsored ka ng employer, and I think 407 is somewhat similar.

    VETASSESS would be your assessing body kung yan ang naka indicate. Pero kahit magka assessment ka you need to know how to be eligible to apply for PR. Hindi kasi kasama sa MLTSSL ang occupation mo so that's why limited lang ang options mo e. Try to read up further pa sa mga visa subtypes na yan kasi agencies will only help you process documents and advice, but if di ka talaga eligible they can only do so much. Baka masayang lang finances nyo if you just jump in blindly.

    @adamson187 unfortunately you need to have a qualification na nasa MLTSSL if your plan is to apply in skilled independent visas. Definitely you need to do some studies in order to get a certain qualification for assessment. Pero let's wait for the opinion of others. Yan kasi talaga ang standard for applying to oz:

    1. Occupation na nasa MLTSSL
    2. Positive assessment in your selected occupation

    Don't be too dishearteaned. Best bet is if talagang decided ka mag aral, do a lot of research on courses that can help you get qualified for MLTSSL occupations. Gagastos ka nga lang talaga.

    The nuclear option in my opinion? Get an engineering degree. From what I know, engineers lang ang hindi nagrerequire ng work exp to be positively assessed (i speak from experience). Nurses na graduate ng pinas need to take bridging/ conversion programs, while IT professionals need at least 2 years of exp. Accountants naman, sobrang taas ng points na needed. Of course this option is too extreme, but if ultimate goal mo ang PR, it's wise to consider all possible pathways. You could also study Bachelors of nursing syempre pero you mentioned na ayaw mo na mag handle ng patients e.

    @MLBS mukhang no choice talaga ako. hindi ko matatakasan yun linya ko. pang patient lang talaga ang pwede kong mapuntahan.

    Kung magengineer nmn kasi ako baka hindi ako paniwalaan sa letter na gagawin ko.
    nagbasa basa ulit ako kagabi,
    marami sa nabasa ko aged care certificate ang ineenroll nila na related sa healthprofessional gaya ko.

    hay na ako. ang hirap pala.

    @adamson187 yes strict na competition ngayon and paiba iba pa ng rules. Keep on doing research, you might stumble upon some things. Kahit ako naman, di ko nalaman lahat to in one day. 2 years na ako nagbabasa sa forum and up to this day nagbabasa pa rin ako. All the best
