    Hello po, ask ko lng po cno dto ang ngpaasess thru vetasses? If working in sg, need po b na s sg kmuha ng statutory declaration? Thank u

    Hi, ang statutory of declaration ay ginagawa lang kapag di ka na talaga makakuha ng COE from your your previous employer dahil nag-sara na sila at di mo na ma-contact or for whatever reason. You'll need someone to testify for you that you worked for that company and sign the document. If possible ka parin naman makakuha from your employer ng COE, you won't need an SOD.

    For my Vetassess, I just submitted my COEs from my previous employers and current one together with my CV. Positive result naman ang nakuha ko.

    @rukawa_11 Thank you for replying. Ask ko lng po tnanggap b ng vetasses ung coe kht wlang detailed job description? Kc ung bnbgay ng sg employer basid info lng wlng job description.

    critical din yan job description kasi titignan nila kung malapit yung jobs mo sa list ng skilled occupations nila.

    @rukawa_11 yup gnun nga ok lng sna ung job description ang problem ung ppirma kc ttanungin ang purpose mo bkt need mo nun. Ang ipapaasses ko for my work experiences na iba ibang employer. Ask ko lng po ung coe mo po ba na pinasa s vetasses e ung may JD or ung basic template ng sg employer without JD?

    as much as possible, isama mo lahat ng employer mo na you think fits the skilled occupation that you will be assessing for kasi nakakadagdag yun sa points. Usually kasi nagbabawas pa si Vetassess ng 1 year sa experience mo.

    Sa COE ko naman, ang ipinasa ko ay hindi yung usual format. Nilagay ko lahat ng ni-rerequire ni Vetassess dahil kailangan nila lahat ng info na yung to assess your skill.

    Sa past employers mo, pwede mo naman sabihin yung totoong reason mo na for migration purposes gagamitin kaya kelangan mo yung specific na format. Ang mahirap talaga palagi is yung sa current employer dahil most of us, ayaw natin ipaalam yung purpose dahil baka maka-apekto sa current job natin. So in my case, ang dahilan na ginawa ko dati sa HR namin is kailangan ko siya dahil ni-rerequire ng bank for my loan sa Pinas yung ganyan na format and infos. Ayun, naniwala naman sila kaya ginawa nila yung pinapagawa ko. Pero make yung lang na hindi naka-address sa bank yung COE mo. Pwedeng "To whom it may concern" lang.

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)


    2020

    Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
    Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.

    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.

    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.


    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.

    Depende kung acceptable ang reason mo kung bakit wala ng contact sa dating employer at kailangang gumawa ng SD (Ilalagay mo rin kasi yan sa statutory declaration mo kung bakit hindi ka nakakuha). In my case, gumawa ako ng SD dahil closed na yung company at yung isa naman ay tapos na yung particular project na ginawa ng company na hawak namin.

    @IamTim San po kau ngpaSD and how much ung rate nla. Ty

    Hello po, ask ko lng po cno dto ang ngpaasess thru vetasses? If working in sg, need po b na s sg kmuha ng statutory declaration? Thank u

    Hi, ang statutory of declaration ay ginagawa lang kapag di ka na talaga makakuha ng COE from your your previous employer dahil nag-sara na sila at di mo na ma-contact or for whatever reason. You'll need someone to testify for you that you worked for that company and sign the document. If possible ka parin naman makakuha from your employer ng COE, you won't need an SOD.

    For my Vetassess, I just submitted my COEs from my previous employers and current one together with my CV. Positive result naman ang nakuha ko.

    @rukawa_11 Ask ko lng po s experience nio gno ktgal lumabas ang result ng vetasses?

    Hello po, ask ko lng po cno dto ang ngpaasess thru vetasses? If working in sg, need po b na s sg kmuha ng statutory declaration? Thank u

    Hi, ang statutory of declaration ay ginagawa lang kapag di ka na talaga makakuha ng COE from your your previous employer dahil nag-sara na sila at di mo na ma-contact or for whatever reason. You'll need someone to testify for you that you worked for that company and sign the document. If possible ka parin naman makakuha from your employer ng COE, you won't need an SOD.

    For my Vetassess, I just submitted my COEs from my previous employers and current one together with my CV. Positive result naman ang nakuha ko.

    Hello po may ask lng ako sa mga sg based paano po kaya makaka provide ng itr/iras if nawala na un hard copy kc nkauwi na rin po pinas di na mka log in ng singpass at fin. Btw working po sa sg for 11 yrd until jan 2021, then ng for good na sa pinas.. Ask ko lng sa mga ng lodge na po ng visa need po ba talaga mag attached ng ITR or kahit company ID & Coe lng po is enough na. Salamat po sa mkakasagot. Godbless

    nag email ako sa Iras, binigay ko FIN ko at company name at dates. sinabi ko lang. Can I have a list of all my tax returns and the company who paid from YEAR to YEAR. sapos i saved the mail as PDF, sinama ko kasama ng payslips.

    if you have POSB/OCBC/UOB etc, they will tell you sa online system na 7 years lang kept nilang data, pero napakiusapan ko sa chat support at nag bigay ng specific month bank statement na more than 7 years (like 10 years ago) . yung start and end date lang nung nag work ka sa company ang hingin mo para di sila mahirapan maghanap.

    Hello po, ask ko lang sa mga nag-pamedical na, saan po mas ok in terms of price, sa SATA Bedok or sa Point Paragon? May idea po kayo ng price ng medical for adults and child? Yung x-rays po ba ay dun din mismo or pareho po na kelangan pa pumunta sa Mt.Elizabeth? TIA po sa mga sasagot.

    Hello! Sa SATA Bedok kami nagpa-medical, family of 4. Eto prices:

    • Me and my husband (health check, blood test for HIV, urine for glucose, chest x-ray) = 239.65SGD each person
    • 3 y.o. child (health check, TB test) = 426.05SGD
    • 1 y.o. child (health check) = 129.45SGD

    So umabot ng 1K SGD total. Doon din mismo ang X-ray so hindi na kelangan pumunta sa ibang hospital. Around 3 hrs natapos na kami and na-upload lahat ng results namin sa immi portal after a week since matagal lumabas ang result ng TB test.

    • Me and my husband (health check, blood test for HIV, urine for glucose, chest x-ray) = 239.65SGD each person

    thank you po for the very detailed response. follow up question po, yung sa 3 y.o. niyo po na child, anung test po for TB yung kinuha niyo, yung skin test or yung blood test?

    For TB, ung blood test kinuha namin (Quantiferon). Mas pricey sya kesa sa skin test pero ito ang ni-recommend ng doctor kasi one-time visit lang unlike sa skin test na may chances na bumalik kami. Naghanap sila ng nurse na sanay mag-administer sa bata kaya okey naman.

    And yes, tumatanggap sila ng credit card. :)

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)


    2020

    Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
    Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.


    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.
    Jul 17: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Jul 20: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 8.0 R: 9.0 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: EOI – I received a notice that my EOI is expiring on August 23, 2022, so I had to resubmit it.
    Aug 23: EOI – My Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect expired after 2 years.
    Aug 25: EOI – I submitted my new Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.

    Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).

    Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.

    Hello, good morning :)
    Ask ko lang po how do you request COC? Upon trying to submit an Appeal po kasi may requirement dun na “Letter from Overseas Authority”, kaso wala naman po sinesend si AU Home Affairs ng requesy letter for COC.

    Then may field rin po na “Departure Date” anong date po nilalagay nyo?

    Thank you!!

    applied 2019 pa, Inattached ko yung invitation email save as PDF lang.

    Thaaank you po :) how about sa departure date po ano po nilagay nyo? Salamaat

    any future date pwede, mas okay kung kelan yung target move date nyo. I applied that time in July 2019, I put in July 2020 but we moved around Feb 2020, no issues naman we still got the COC.

    Hello po, ask ko lang sa mga nag-pamedical na, saan po mas ok in terms of price, sa SATA Bedok or sa Point Paragon? May idea po kayo ng price ng medical for adults and child? Yung x-rays po ba ay dun din mismo or pareho po na kelangan pa pumunta sa Mt.Elizabeth? TIA po sa mga sasagot.

    Hello! Sa SATA Bedok kami nagpa-medical, family of 4. Eto prices:

    • Me and my husband (health check, blood test for HIV, urine for glucose, chest x-ray) = 239.65SGD each person
    • 3 y.o. child (health check, TB test) = 426.05SGD
    • 1 y.o. child (health check) = 129.45SGD

    So umabot ng 1K SGD total. Doon din mismo ang X-ray so hindi na kelangan pumunta sa ibang hospital. Around 3 hrs natapos na kami and na-upload lahat ng results namin sa immi portal after a week since matagal lumabas ang result ng TB test.

    thank you po for the very detailed response. follow up question po, yung sa 3 y.o. niyo po na child, anung test po for TB yung kinuha niyo, yung skin test or yung blood test?

    For TB, ung blood test kinuha namin (Quantiferon). Mas pricey sya kesa sa skin test pero ito ang ni-recommend ng doctor kasi one-time visit lang unlike sa skin test na may chances na bumalik kami. Naghanap sila ng nurse na sanay mag-administer sa bata kaya okey naman.

    And yes, tumatanggap sila ng credit card. :)

    sorry another question pala po. hinintay niyo ba muna yung CO na sabihan kayo na need niyo na ng medical? Or after niyo mag-lodge, nag-medical na po kayo agad? And if nag-lodge kayo agad, anung pinakita niyo sa clinic na proof na need niyo ng medical? TIA for your response.

    thank you po for the very detailed response. follow up question po, yung sa 3 y.o. niyo po na child, anung test po for TB yung kinuha niyo, yung skin test or yung blood test?

    For TB, ung blood test kinuha namin (Quantiferon). Mas pricey sya kesa sa skin test pero ito ang ni-recommend ng doctor kasi one-time visit lang unlike sa skin test na may chances na bumalik kami. Naghanap sila ng nurse na sanay mag-administer sa bata kaya okey naman.

    And yes, tumatanggap sila ng credit card. :)

    sorry another question pala po. hinintay niyo ba muna yung CO na sabihan kayo na need niyo na ng medical? Or after niyo mag-lodge, nag-medical na po kayo agad? And if nag-lodge kayo agad, anung pinakita niyo sa clinic na proof na need niyo ng medical? TIA for your response.

    Pagkalodge po nagpamedical na din kmi. Meron na agad form na makikita sa immiaccount na pending medical. Yung iba gusto maghintay ng CO contact dahil daw may expiry un result, okay naman samin, within the validity nagrant. bedok sata din kmi with kids din and blood test din nirecommend dahil daw mataas chance magfalse positive ang skin test.

    After mag-lodge saka kami nagpa-medical, hindi na namin hinintay CO contact. Ang kelangan lang to book an appointment sa Sata at dalhin on the actual medical exam day ay iyung letter from the immi with the HAP ID.

    • 1 y.o. child (health check) = 129.45SGD

    So umabot ng 1K SGD total. Doon din mismo ang X-ray so hindi na kelangan pumunta sa ibang hospital. Around 3 hrs natapos na kami and na-upload lahat ng results namin sa immi portal after a week since matagal lumabas ang result ng TB test.

    thank you po for the very detailed response. follow up question po, yung sa 3 y.o. niyo po na child, anung test po for TB yung kinuha niyo, yung skin test or yung blood test?

    For TB, ung blood test kinuha namin (Quantiferon). Mas pricey sya kesa sa skin test pero ito ang ni-recommend ng doctor kasi one-time visit lang unlike sa skin test na may chances na bumalik kami. Naghanap sila ng nurse na sanay mag-administer sa bata kaya okey naman.

    And yes, tumatanggap sila ng credit card. :)

    sorry another question pala po. hinintay niyo ba muna yung CO na sabihan kayo na need niyo na ng medical? Or after niyo mag-lodge, nag-medical na po kayo agad? And if nag-lodge kayo agad, anung pinakita niyo sa clinic na proof na need niyo ng medical? TIA for your response.

    Pagkalodge po nagpamedical na din kmi. Meron na agad form na makikita sa immiaccount na pending medical. Yung iba gusto maghintay ng CO contact dahil daw may expiry un result, okay naman samin, within the validity nagrant. bedok sata din kmi with kids din and blood test din nirecommend dahil daw mataas chance magfalse positive ang skin test.

    noted po. napaka-helpful ng answer niyo. thank you for responding.

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.

    Hello po, ask ko lang sa mga nag-pamedical na, saan po mas ok in terms of price, sa SATA Bedok or sa Point Paragon? May idea po kayo ng price ng medical for adults and child? Yung x-rays po ba ay dun din mismo or pareho po na kelangan pa pumunta sa Mt.Elizabeth? TIA po sa mga sasagot.

    Hello! Sa SATA Bedok kami nagpa-medical, family of 4. Eto prices:

    • Me and my husband (health check, blood test for HIV, urine for glucose, chest x-ray) = 239.65SGD each person
    • 3 y.o. child (health check, TB test) = 426.05SGD
    • 1 y.o. child (health check) = 129.45SGD

    After mag-lodge saka kami nagpa-medical, hindi na namin hinintay CO contact. Ang kelangan lang to book an appointment sa Sata at dalhin on the actual medical exam day ay iyung letter from the immi with the HAP ID.

    noted po, thank you once again for your very insightful response. :)
