if you (or your partner) have a budget, maybe you can try the Professional Year program... check the info on the 476 thread.. may fee nga lang..
especially kung mag-apply ka ng PR... but i guess you wont need it, dahil pwde ka naman sponsor ng partner for PR after sometime...

By the way, my relatives in AU told me about enrolling in TAFE. Pwede ba mag-enroll dun once you hold a 476 visa? And is it a recommended way to have better chances of getting hired? O kumuha na lang nung professional year?

So kung may mga technical skills ka na kailangan matutunan, then enroll in TAFE courses..
Pero kung general skills/exposure to AU Engineering/Industry lang kailangan mo.. i would say PYear (this will add 5 pts in your EOI pts if you will apply as skilled migrant visa later)
