Wait you mean to say “currently employed” sa australia? Or basta currently employed lang?
Two things:
A. If currently employed sa australia kung need ba? Ito hindi necessarily needed sa ibang occupations and states. Check mo sa state sites kasi iba iba requirements nila per occupation.
B. If unemployed ka right now, ang alam ko kasi basta ung employment mo is within the last 10 years pasok ka for skilled visas like 189,190,491

Based from what I have read po on forums, it can take as fast as a couple of days to as long as 11 months po... yung iba inaabutan na ng expiration ng validity ng PCC and Medicals, so yung iba ata narerepeat, depende pa din sa CO... i hope the other forum members can put in their input for it
Congrats on the Visa Grant!

Hi! Sorry nanlito ba ako lalo. Hehe.
Currently unemployed ako ngayon dito sa Oz, nurse occupation dito sa Vic. Though I have 7 years experience sa Pinas. Yung isa ko kasing kakilala (same occupation and ANZCO code), nag-apply ng 491, no work din. Nung nag-plan na ako mag-apply, nakalagay kasi na need ng letter of current employment dun sa requirement. Will double check na lang din para sure. Salamat, @cutiepie25

Malaking challenge talaga yung pandemic sa mga immigrants and aspiring ones. Affected yung processing for nomination and visa processing somehow (we don't know to what extent); closure ng borders; and finally yung job hunting. With thousands of people losing jobs dahil sa business closures, there will be more competition than before after 6 months or so, and still we're not sure kung yung availability of jobs will be enough by that time.
Nakakatakot isipin.
