Thanks!

Yes, last 10yrs lang tinitingnan ng ACS.
Yes, total of 20pts max lang for the work experience off- and onshore.

Hello po. Baka may makatulong samin sa pag sagot.
Kasi yung company namin nakapag bigay na ng coe na may JD (unlike before na hindi pwede) hindi napo kailangan ng statutory dec diba?
Kailangan pa po ba icertify ito at lahat ng iba naming documents?
May nabasa po ako sa isang thread na hindi na po tumatanggap ng notary, paano po kaya macertify yun if kailangan?
Salamat po 🙏🏻

No need for certification or notary. Just upload the coloured scanned copy of the original document. If it is an e-document, meaning it's not a physical document, then just submit that directly.

Question po - sana may makatulong.

May assessment po ako sa ICT Business Analyst valid till 2024, sitting at 90/95 points for 189/190 (80k salary) since August pero wala pa rin pong invite. may nagsuggest sa akin na applyan ang Software Engineer instead and lodge a separate EOI with it kasi mas mataas chance. Checked with my agent and employer and swak naman with my current duties.

Tanong ko now is - Would getting another assessment as SE be worth the extra expense? And if yes should I pull my VIC 190 ROI under ICT BA and apply a new ROI as Software Engineer instead?

Please sana po may maka advise 🙏

reyven15 · October 2022

Hello po...

Ask ko lang yung section ng assessment ko for my current employer. May nakalagay po kasi na extra line na 04/22 to 04/22. ANo po kaya ibig sabihin nito:

Pwede ka mag email dun sa case officer mo (the one who sent you the results). Ask for a clarification.

Hello. Noob question. Anong relevance kung section 1 ang school mo or not?

Hello. Noob question. Anong relevance kung section 1 ang school mo or not?

if you graduated from a sec 1 (overseas) school with a major ICT degree, then it is comparable to AQF Bachelor. ACS will only require 2 years of work experience in your nominated occupation. Otherwise, more years are needed to obtain a positive skills assessment.

Well, if can afford naman, go for another assessment, although for VIC 190, isang ROI lang pwede. pero di din talaga guarantee na maiinvite soon, since may nabasa akong newsletter from ACS na di masyadong magfofocus now sa mga IT people ang Australia.

kung walang changes dun sa previous career episodes, pwede naman na hindi ka na mag submit ulit for those.
yung mga meron updates na lang, plus additional career episodes.

note mo lang na dapat hindi yung notarised copies ang ni-submit mo before. hindi na required ng ACS ang notarised copies. scanned copies of the original docs na lang.

ACS can also look beyond the 10 years when deducting the years. If you have more than 10 years experience, you can present as far back evidences and > @hikari said:

Any qualification will be recognised as AQF bachelor degree long as it’s from a section 1 institution. Major or minor in IT determines the number of years ACS will deduct during the assessment.

Therefore, whether the course is related to IT or not, the candidate can still claim 15 points on qualification. Claim on skilled work experience will depend on the Ict content of their studies plus the actual experience.

Hello mga kababayan! Mag tatanong lang sana at medyo confuse lang sa Summary of Criteria ng ACS.

AQF po ba need dun sa naka-bracket? Or Bachelor Degree in your own country po?

Maraming maraming salamat po sa sasagot 😊

The bachelor degree should be equivalent to an AQF bachelor degree.

Hi guys so medyo mahaba to, I graduated with a degree in ECE specialized in Internet Protocol Networking sa isang Section 1 school pero nagwork ako sa IT Network related na role. Around 6 months worth of experience lang meron ako in total and now pinapa student visa ako ng family ko sa Australia kasi may family ako dun and gusto nila dun na rin ako, balak ko mag masters in IT (Networking).

Ang gusto ko lang malaman is pagkagraduate ko, balak ko mag gain ng experience with my Post study 485 visa while fixing my 189 visa. Since around 6 months lang ung experience ko dito sa Pinas plano ko mag work for 1-1.5 years sa Sydney before doing the skills assessment as a Network Admin/Engineer. What are my chances of getting a good skill assessment by ACS? Since pag nagwork ako dun after ng masters ko, total work experience ko ay nasa 1-1.5 years pa lang in total.

Have you looked into the 189 visa? Priority ang offshore now, nag iinvite sila as low as 65 pts as of late. Maabot mo yan kahit wala ka work exp points. Baka better option yan than going the SV route. PR invitation rules change a lot, for sure pag grad mo ng Masters iba na naman ang trend. This is speaking from experience.

noraneko · November 2022

Hi, ask ko lang ok lang ba if iattach ko lang un JD as separate page sa COE?

nutribun · November 2022

Hi,

Sorry another question. I know na ACS requires 2 documents as proof of payments. Sa case ko kasi, ang meron lang ako ITR. Ung company kasi nag migrate sila ng payroll nila so ung previous payslips ay wla na.

Contractual din ako dito so wlang SSS at philhealth. Negative naman sa bank statements kasi pahirapan makakuha sa Unionbank since 6 years ago na un and wla ako sa pilipinas.

Meron ba nagkaron ng ganitong case? I was planning to submit my ITR tas stat dec ng email ng company ko na di makakapagprovide ng payslips. Not sure kung magiging okay. 5 years kasi to e.

Salamat!

Yeah I have pero from what I've read online, usually need nila ng 3-5 years worth of experience offshore para lang mapasa ung skills assessment. Gusto kasi ng family ko by next year nandun nako sa Australia imbis na magwork pa sa Pilipinas kasi sayang daw ung 20s ko

You can use your ECE degree to get a positive assessment. Mas competitive nga ang ICS occupations sa invitations, puro Engineering ang naiinvite sa 189 lately. Back in 2017 wala ako work exp, fresh grad ako and nakakuha ako positive assessment sa EA. One advantage yan ng EA - no need ng work exp whereas sa ACS assessment they require it.

Given that there’s only 6 months experience, skills assessment won’t be successful which means he won’t be eligible for 189,190 nor 491 visa subclass. At the the same time, what you mentioned about student visa is correct- procedures might change by the time he’s finished his studies….but looks like his options would either be carry on with work to gain more experience or go via student visa, being mindful that legislation might change by the time he’s done his studies.

If he goes the ACS route then an assessment is not possible, but for EA it can be done. I was also checking the points reqd for offshore applicants that immigration posted - it was as low as 65. That score can be reached easily (Age = 25/30, Educ = 15, English = 20, single = 10). Could be a good thing to try rather than go SV which is lengthy, costly and does not guarantee anything in the end.

If I go for a student visa, is a 1 year's worth of experience in a related IT field in Australia good enough to get a positive assessment for ACS? Since I heard I need to lodge my EOI early because the post study visa is only valid for 2 years.

Ah yeah, had to read his post again. I didn’t realise his qualification is ECE. That’s right, no go for ACS but EA could work without work experience. We’ve handled many cases like this. And with regards to GSM visa pathway, we’ve recently had invites with 65 points and even with just competent English, so yes it’s possible lately.

I’m a product of a student visa pathway myself but not a fan of it in terms of PR pathway due to the fact that it’s an expensive way to get to Australia without any guarantee that it will work. However, if he really is decided to study, what he can do is lodge the EOI onshore and see if he gets an invite whilst he’s studying and if he does then respond to the invite and quit his studies once visa is granted.

If ang goal mo lang is ma PR, it does not matter kung anong assessment ang gawin mo. You can do it via ACS or EA, yang assessment is only good for visa purposes. Dito ang hinahanap ng employer is full working rights. I applied for my visa using an EA assessment pero I work in IT currently.

It’s somehow tricky what you’re trying to do, as mentioned legislation and procedures can change by the time you’re done with your studies. It’s hard to predict your chances in the future based on the current policy.
