Hi po. Nagtatry po ako maghanap ng info dito sa forum regarding job offer. Kelangan po ba ay thru migration agency or POEA? Offshore applicant po here.

Hello po. DIY and offshore din po ako. Nagtry din po ako ng iba't ibang options.
1) Migration agency - bago ako nagDIY sa docs kinausap ko muna yung Respall. Ineemphasize nila na hindi sila job agency sa simula pa lang
2) POEA - Nung huling tiningnan ko mostly for welders, mechanics at chefs lang ang meron sa list nila. Not sure kung may engineering jobs sila.
3) Seek/LinkedIn - ang palaging feedback nila ay kailangan nila ng applicant na may valid working rights since ang usual timeframe na makapaghire ang employer ay 1-2mos. This reply really hit me:
"You recently applied for a vacancy I advertised on Seek but unfortunately it's extremely difficult to secure job roles for overseas applicants without having a skilled migrant visa and/or 3+ years' experience in Australia.
You may have noticed that the vast majority of your applications for jobs in Australia are unsuccessful or go unanswered. That's because recruitment companies are not willing to spend the time trying to help you find a job in Australia due to commercial reasons."
4) Internal transfer - nilaksan ko loob ko na kausapin ang GM na itransfer ako sa AU branch ng company namin.
5) Additional points - magttake ako ng CCL for additional 5pts para mapabilis ang ITA. Baka maconsider nyo rin po.
Mostly po sa mga kakilala ko (engrs din sila), kahit may visa 189 na, hindi pa rin nakakahanap ng work ng wala sila doon. Nagsisimula lang sila maghanap nung naka BM na. Maganda pa rin po magtry nang magtry maghanap ng employer. In my case, napagod na po ako maghanap kasi laging unsuccessful and decided to sit still and wait for the visa na lang. Prayer at patience lang po talaga kasi patagal na ng patagal ang process.
Disclaimer: Di po ako guided by an agency kaya limited lang din ang alam ko sa mga nababasa ko. Baka po may iba pang options, pashare na lang din po dito. Hehe

Thank you po sa pagshashare ng experience. Actually, I am not expecting na matatawag ako for 189 soonest. Tinatantya ko po ang chance na matawag ako for 491 or 190 visa, VIC and TAS requires a job offer. NSW naman requires you live and work there na. So either pagbutihin ko p ang IELTS ko or dasal na lang at this point.
Ano po ung CCL? Yan po ba yung sa NAATI?

Yes po, sa NAATI. Translation ng English-Tagalog. Why not try PTE po instead of IELTS? Mas generous magbigay ng superior ang PTE as per most of the takers here. Nacheck nyo po ba yung requirements sa TAS? Nagtry din kasi ako kaso nabasa ko skill level 2 ang requirement nila for MEs. Di ko lang sure for IEs.

Canada is easy if you have immediate relatives, education, or job offer/experience there (thru PNP option), but if none, it's a lot tougher than AU in comparable circumstances: no relatives, no local education, no job offer/experience.
Check if you can reach a CRS point of 480. That's the current minimum threshold of people getting invited in Canada.

Mainly para po sa mga employer sponsored. Ipprioritize daw yung processing at travel exemption. Pero most of us think na malaki rin impact ng list sa invites for 189/190.

Hi po. I actually filled up an express entry form for Canada but I don't have a job offer and the only relatives they consider is your brother or sister so my cousins living there would not be counted. Then I realized na you have to apply for skills assessment for every state you want to apply in. Tough luck pero let's see. Will the AU govt release new guidelines once mafinalize na ang 2021 budget?

HI po. You can check po the immi website to know which visas would apply for your nephew. Very easy po to navigate and understand. But I guess ang dapat paghandaan nya ay ang Engineers Australia Skill Assessment. English test is common for all naman po.
