    @anamariefranco kung nurse ka you need to do bridging/conversion program if you want to be an RN here. Make sure muna kung ano ending mo, wag kang magpapasilaw sa no ielts kasi kung balak mo mag PR magtatake ka ng english test no matter what.

    @aranayad Hello po ulit. Salamat po sa message. Hindi pa po ako naka try magpa consult ng ibang agency, Enhance Visa po yung agency na kinuha ko. Yung letter of acceptance po ibibigay ng school pgkatapos mag submit ng requirements kasali yung enrollment fee/application fee na AU$ 750 at yung agency na po magsasubmit nito. Pero hindi pa po ako nagbayod at nagpasa ng requirements sa agency kasi baka hindi po ako i-aaccept ng school, non-refundable pa nman yung AU$ 750 na fee takot ako masayang lang.

    @MLBS Hello po, salamat po sa pag reply. Yung binigay po ng agency ko na course ay (CHC 43015 Certificate IV Ageing Support CRICOS: 094835A plus BSB50215 Diploma of Business CRICOS: 088122G) bali package po ito na course, Health and Community Package. Enhance Visa po yung agency. Gusto ko po sana talaga mag work as a Nurse sa Australia at mag PR. Pero natatakot po ako sa kung magkano magagastos pag mag Student Visa, lalo na po yung tuition fee

    @anamariefranco be mindful a kasi di yan bridging program. Yang mga agencies kasi habol lang nyan is maipadala ka sa aus, pero wala sila pake kung ano mangyayari sayo after. Wala sila pake sa PR paths, so dapat ikaw mismo magresearch yourself. Wag ka lang makikinig sa agent. All the best.

    Hello, I'm a seafarer I planning to retire with this profession this year, I want to study, work and maybe later on move to australia. I want to process student visa but as I read here that the program you should take must be I line with your course you took in college, for a seaman what should it be? Hoping for an answer. Ps: Is it posible for me to process the visa on my own or do I need a migration agent to assess me better?

    @anamariefranco nako po ma'am and sa ibang mga maam sir na makakabasa please po by all means refrain from Lawson college. sabi nga nila if something is too good to be true it probably is. no show money, ielts, etc? di po lahat pero karamihan ng agency e habol lang na mapadala ka sa ibang bansa, kunin bayad mo and commission from school.

    una po for sure either business diploma or aged care ang inooffer nila na course sayo tama ba? please be informed po na kahit matapos mo yan wala po yan pathway para maging PR or permanent resident ka sa Australia. gusto mo po ba na habang buhay na lang mag tuition dun? yun English exam ma'am para lang sa school nila yun pero if mag aapply ka na for residency or for example mag bridging program for nurses e need mo pa rin mag English exam. no show money? kunwari lang rin po yan pero ang totoo mag pasa ka pa rin ng financial documents from you, family or relatives sakanila showing na kaya mo isustain pag aaral mo sakanila, something na gagamitin nila against you pag nasa school ka na nila and marealize mo na di worth it ang babayad mo sakanila. And btw once naka enroll po sakanila e di ka nila papayagan lumipat and di irerelease kahit mag bago pa isip mo.


    Alam ko to since may mga kakilala ako na nag aaral sa Lawson and almost all of them e masasabi na lang na if alam nila na ganon e ibang process sana tinake nila. Sana po naiiwas ko kayo sa mga bagay na magsisisi kayo something na di ko nagawa para sa friends ko. Wag po tayo makuntento sa basta makapunta lang ng Australia bahala na. Madami naman po willing sumagot and bigay ng advice Lalo na at big step sa buhay niyo yun

    Cheers!

    Hi PinoyAU peeps,

    Natanggap na po ako sa isang university na in-applyan ko for Masters degree (thank you Lord!). Ni-rereview ko po ngayon yung offer letter and nag-cocompute ng mga kakailanganin na pera as show money sa embassy. Ang question ko po is kakayanin ko ba from my part-time work na mabayadan yung tuition fee? Ang tuition fee ko per sem is AUD 14k. Yung lodging ko is taken cared of na since titira ako sa kamag-anak pero balak ko pa din magprovide kahit papaano. Yung show money ko sa visa is galing sa parents ko pero hindi ko sya magagamit for my tuition fee so I'm on my own talaga. Meron naman akong savings pero sapat lang sya for my 1st sem. Kaya po ba sa mga part-time work i-cover yung ganun kalaking tuition fee? Kung meron na pong gumawa ng ganito, pede po pa-share ng experience? Maraming salamat!

    Hello po! Magtatanong po sana ako, ano ba magandang option na kunin? kase ung course ko and experience dito sa Pinas will not give me a pathway para maging PR unless magtutuloy ako ng Accounting. Btw, graduate ako ng BS in Commerce maj in Banking and Finance. Kaya lang, from what I've heard sa pinsan ko na nasa Oz, mahirap daw pag acctg. So ang plano sana namin, kumuha muna ako ng Diploma in Leadership and Mngt then tsaka nalang mag shift pag andun na. Any thoughts po?

    @Tina0241 @peace_mate why not choose accounting immediately? Pag nagshift ka ng courae dito inonotify mo immigration which can be troublesome.

    Hi Guys.. My name is Karen.. If anyone is interested in studying or thinking of migrating to Australia, you can private message me.. I work at RACC Australia.. It's an Education and Migration Agency based in Melbourne. We can help you with your student visa application.. No service fee.. And free initial consultation for Temporary and Permanent visa applications.. Sabihin nyo lang what you need and I'm willing to help you find the best course or pathway..

    A little background about me.. I came to Sydney in 2006 on a student visa.. After 2 years of studies, I applied for my Permanent Residency under Skilled Migration.. My PR was granted on March 2012.. Ung sister ko and brother also came here on student visas.. My sister in March 2008 and ung brother ko nung December 2012.. Lahat kami Permanent na dito sa Australia.. Kaya alam ko ang hirap at sakripisyo ng mga international students.. Hindi lang pera ang iniinvest kundi pati oras at effort and time away from family.. Kaya I want to help those that needs assistance as I was once in that position.
