thanks so much lock_code2004. i'll bookmark this page as reference. right now nasa gathering pa din ako ng ACS reqts. Tagal magbigay ng COE mga company ko, hayz. Pero at the same time, nag iistart nako mag research about IELTS. Nag back-read ako sa IELTS thread...information overload ang nangyari sakin hahah. I think mag start muna ako sa Cambridge reviewers. Mag post ako ng question ko sa thread na yun re cambridge.

Anyway, ang haba talaga ng process ng pagdadaanan. Money, time and effort. Hanggang dun sa time ng paghahanap ng work pag nasa OZ na. Medyo natatakot ako pag iniisip ko. 🙂 Napapaisip ako if it's really worth it. For example, you already have a good paying job here in the Phils. (example lang almost 6 digits na salary na ...note: hindi po ako ito ha, sample lang), is it still worth it na mag work sa OZ?

Hinahanap ko yung thread regarding successful migrants and their stories. 🙂 thanks.

Question lang po:

Meron ako copy ng certified copy ng TOR from CHED, pwede na ba yun ang isubmit ko or kelangan ko un iphotocopy at panotarize? Ung diploma ko rin, i-photocopy then notarize? tama po ba? Plan ko sana wag na magrequest ng another copy from my school kasi baka mahabang proseso na naman.

<blockquote rel="clickbuddy2009">Question lang po:

Copy of Certified True Copy? - Nope this is NOT acceptable.
They don't need CHED/Malacanang/DFA stamp at all..

either:

a) you submit the certified copy of TOR from Ched (not the copy of the Certified True copy)

b) Get your original copy (kahit luma na basta original), photocopy it, and have the photocopy CTCed... thats it.. submit the CTCed photocopy of the original.

i suggest you read other specific requirements from your assessing authority

may tanong pala ako.. about CTC... ok ba ang copy ng TOR na ang pirma ay from Registrar? sinurrender ko kasi yung orig tOr ko sa kanila, then they gave me a copy may seal din. sufficient enough na kaya tong copy ko? or dapat from a lawyer talaga? salamat po sa sasagot.

@lock_code2004, sobrang helpful to sir! my wife and I are planning to try our luck next year, 2014. d2 kame currently sa Sg for 3yrs now. I am working as Civil Engr(exp, 5yrs) and my wife is a Food Technologist(exp 5yrs). pinagaaralan ko n muna lahat ng procedures sa forum na to instead of hiring an agent kaya salamat sa breakdown na napost nyo lock_code2004. medyo mahirap pa rin intindihin ang mga visa classifications, tanong ko lang about sa "subclass" (495, 496, 475 and 487), pano naman po ung sa classifications nito? may mga nabasa akong ibang thread at nakita ko mostly na Civil Engineer, ung visa nila is "subclass 475". hope you can advise in which visa pwede ung job ko. Thanks in advance!

lock_code2004

@ricky_ike28 - hi. there are two major classifications:

SKILLED MIGRANT VISA

yun pong three visa subclassess 189/190/489 described in this thread are for skill migrant.
may passmark po eto.. EOI points should be atleast 60pts.
as you've read above, kailangan po ng assessment ng skills nyo before you can apply..

EMPLOYER SPONSORED:-

eto po ung mga visa na pwede kung may employer na gustong kumuha sa inyo..
depende sa skills nyo, possibleng hindi na kayo dumaan sa process na na-described sa taas..
direct hire na agad.. eto po ung mga visa 457/ 186/187

yung mga ibang visa po na nabanggit nyo eh either hindi ko alam.. or hindi na po applicable as of July 1 2012.. so possibleng nakapag-apply sila before this date..

these visa subclassess is not really tied up to any particular job/occupation.. but instead, eh kung anu po ang pwede sa case nyo, like kung ilan nga po ang total EOI points nyo..

understand the process above..

then calculate your expected EOI points here:

@lock_code2004, thanks again for the info. based po sa nabasa ko regarding visa subclasses 189/190/489, parehas lang cla lahat ng amount sa lodging ng application (AUD 3060). Mas high chance ba na maapprove and application pag under 489 since nanominate ka under specific state (incase positive and response sa EOI)?. i think i can get 65pts sa test with respect sa degree and job exp ko.

plan ko po magapply by next year since my wife is now 3mos pregnant. para na rin isasama ko sila ng baby namin sa application. is there a high chance ba na maapprove ang application kapag kasama family since parehas lang naman ng bayad so wala namang mawawala sakin.

lock_code2004

@ricky_ike28

wala po sa visa type ang chance/probability ng ma-approve or not, nasa total points po nyo..
Visa type only affects the speed of the allocation of Case officer..
be very wise on choosing the visa types.. mas okay na po ang PR, you only choose Temp visa489 kung kulang tlaga sa points..
wala din effect kung single/family.. but of course, advisable na isama na dahil same lang nmn ang fee..

Hello guys! I'm new in this site, tanong Lang po... I'm a Medical Technologist, at gusto ko rin po mag-migrate sa Au. Any idea po if paano Ako mag start sa papers ko... I already have 14 yrs of exp. on my field. Ok din ba kumuha ng agent? Any idea or remarks about Voitin Walker and Respall if alin sa dalawa ang mas better agent if ever I need one. Thank you 🙂

lock_code2004

@clven1845 - you are on the right thread.. pakibasa po ang start ng thread na ito..

😉

@lock_code2004, salamat sir! isa pa pong tanong, in case na approved ung visa application with my family, how many month ung deadline para sa initial entry sa Au? pwede ba ung naiisip ko na ako muna mauna at least to secure a job then, pasusunurin ko n lang family ko? may magiging problema ba dun?

There is what you call an initial entry deadline that will be given once you are issued a visa. This is usually a yr after your medical examination or your police clearance, whichever is earlier. Just enter Australia before this date to activate your visa, afterwards pwede ka rin umuwi muna sa Pinas if feel mo. Some people do this para lang maactivate yung PR Visa nila afterwards balik Pinas to continue sa pag-iipon for the permanent move.

Pwede mo naman pasunurin ang family mo, whatever suits your preference basta lang makapasok sila for the initial entry deadline.

@psychoboy, salamat sir! start ko n muna basahin lahat ng kailangan at sobrang salamat sa moderator ng forum na to at sa inyong mga nagbibigay ng advise.

God bless!!

Happy Chinese New Year na rin sa mga nasa Sg and other part of the world!

vacation mode! 😃

Thanks @lock_code2004 sa info., isa pa pong tanong. Do I need my credentials ipa-assess sa AIMS before I can start with my application? Anyone who have the same field like me, hope you can give me idea on this. Thanks guys! 🙂

gacoquia

I had an initial assesment with Respall.. sabi may 60 points daw ako. and they will discuss to me how I came up with that number when I attend their seminar on weekends. Pero parang alam ko na kung pano nacompute yun. 🙂
