Yun Medical kailangan nai-lodge na nila yun Visa application mo doon ka pa lang magkakaroon ng HAP ID at Referral letter. Since naka agent ka sila mag ggenerate ng letter for you tapos may papasagutan sa iyo bago makapag create ng referral letter with HAP ID.
Pagdating naman sa Medical Slots ito ay based sa experience ko at mga nabasa ko dito sa Medical forum page.
SLMC Ermita - Sabi nila marami daw ditong slots at ang payment pwede credit card. Reservation ng slots thru website sila pero di ko na try dahil yun na try ko ay SLMC BGC process.
SLMC BGC - Ayun meron website at pipili ka kung anong SLMC location tapos time. Nung March 22, April 4 730AM nalang nakita kong slot so yun ang pinili ko kasi yun na talaga earliest nila.
After ko ma-proceed yun online reservation slot kailangan pala muna magbayad thru OTC/Mobile Banking of Security Bank for medical payment which cost 8450. May generated email kung paano ka magbabayad. Good for 5 days dapat mabayaran mo then may procedure ulit paano mo ma-ssecure yun slot mo. Daming steps no? Pero di ako dito tumuloy kahit na malapit lang ako dito.
Nakarating ako dito mga 720AM may mga nauna ng nakapila pero UK sila. May queueing for registration may mag aassist naman. Sa AUS queue ako nauna may mga counter per country so di ko alam paano queueing nila pag nasa loob na lahat. Mabilis lang sa akin nagulat yun guard tapos na ako by 9AM. HEHE. Ang go signal ata na pwede ka na makaalis pag clear yun Urinalysis at Xray result mo. May HIV blood screening ako pero 2-3 working days pa result tapos 7 working days naman yun full result at iuupload daw sa emedical account ko.
Madami din tao na nung pag alis ko meron pa naka queue sa labas kasi punuan na sa loob though di naman ganoon crowded hehehe. UK/CA/AU ang nakita kong mga kasabay.
IOM Makati pinili ko kasi mas mura, less hassle, at malapit para sa akin; mas malapit din SLMC BGC pero mas pricey ang fee.
Kung pipiliin mo ito advise ko sa iyo ready mo na yun kailangan na docs nila may email naman sila ano kailangan. Sa HIV screening kung nakalagay sa request mas mabuti kung na-fill out mo na agad yun forms pero doon mo na pirmahan pag sinabi nila para less time na magfill out doon. Kasi may nakikita ako nag ffill out pa ng ganung form doon. Nakalagay din yun sa confirmation email for schedule.
Ayun lang sana makatulong.

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.
Dec19: – I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.
Dec 30: PTE – I took the PTE Academic English Test. My test results came out the same day: L: 84 R:84 S: 90 W: 75. I didn’t get the scores that I needed to achieve Superior English.
Dec 31: PTE – I booked another PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 361.28). My exam date was on Jan 09, 2023.
2023

Jan 10: EOI – I lodged my EOI for NSW Visa 190 and was able to reach 70 points again to qualify for an invitation. By this time, the minimum points for all occupations were already removed by NSW.
Jan 12: PTE – Booked my wife’s PTE English Test for USD$ 291.60 (SGD$ 401.85). Her exam date was on Jan 20, 2023.
Jan 20: PTE – It was my wife’s test day. The results came out on the same day. She got a Competent English result which is additional 5 points on my EOI for Partner’s Qualifications (English).

MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR
Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

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:

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.

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.
