Good Day. I have a question regarding PRC license. My wife and I got invited by QLD to apply for their state nomination. If ever our visa (190) application is granted, ask ko lang for those who are licensed architects in the Philippines na based na ngayon sa Australia, is there a way na makapag renew kayo ng PRC license in Australia?

Hello po. Both my husband and I got an invitation from QLD last Feb 5, 2025. I have submitted my documents Feb 8 and just got a response from the Migration Queensland today that I need to update my EOI because my recent employment has an end date daw po. I just updated my EOI and added my current job which is a remote job for an Australian company.

Ang question ko po is, ok lang po ba na hindi kasama sa pina-assess ko yung recent job na nilagay ko for my EOI? Because po, hindi ko pa nakuha yung current job ko nung nag VETASSESS ako. I just responded to the migration agent na updated na ang EOI but hopefully this will not set my application back. Meron po ba akong same case dito?

PS: my husband withdrew his invitation since dependent ko na sya. Same ANSZCO code po kami ng husband ko (Archi draftsperson)

Thank you po in advance.

pwede mo naman ata isama tapos wag mo nalang ilagay na related> @lukey said:

Thank you po. Just an update po, nagrequest din ng Letter from my new Employer and case officer ko to which I quickly complied naman po. So nag-update po ako ng EOI ko and sinabi ko din sa email. Natakot po kasi ako na baka next request nila is ipa-VETASSESS ko din po ang current work ko pero hindi naman nila nihingi.

Good day po. Is there anyone who has the same case po sakin. Hindi po maprovide ni second employer ko yung statement of service ko. I ask my manager and seniors para magpapirma pero ang sabi nila sa hr daw po. I emailed the hr since last year and no reply po from them. I followed up again this month pero no reply pa rin po from hr. May other alternative docs po ba na pwedeng iprovide? And possible po ba na di ko na isama yung second employer ko for skill assessment? I’m currently working po for other company atm. Thank you po. Have a great day.

Look into Statutory Declaration baka pwede sayo to. I believe meron naman info sa Vetassess website about dito.

Yes, you have the option to leave out certain employments from your skills assessment.

Try mo sila kulitin ng kulitin ng kulitin. Yan din yung problema ko sa sos dati, yung pag follow up sa employer ko every other day pero yung tono ng message ko is paawa hindi pagalit haha.

Pinilit ko talaga makumpleto yung SoS from employers kasi may mga nababasa ako sa internet na yung ibang naka statutory declaration lang, hinahanapan parin sila ng SoS.

Alam ko pwede naman manager ang magpirma. If ever na mag investigate kasi sila further, yung nakapirma yung tatawagan para i-confirm yung mga nakasulat sa SoS mo. kaya mas maigi na informed yung contact person para pag tinawagan sila, alam nila yung info nabinigay mo.

To add na rin. Yes pwede nga din manager or immediate supervisor magpirma ng SoS. Kapag hindi macontact ang HR. Ganyan ginawa ko sa ibang employment ko.

Thank you po sa mga response @fmp_921 @CantThinkAnyUserName appreciate it po. Sadly po ayaw din po pirmahan nila manager and seniors ko po kaya sabi nila kay hr daw po ako magpapirma. Kulitin ko po ulit si hr. Worst case po if di po maprovide, ano po factor pag di ko po siya sinubmit for skill assessment? Thank you po.

Kulitin mo po. Kung pwede bumisita ka sa previous office nyo haha.

Ang worst case is hindi mo sya iccount for assessment. Meaning mababawasan total years of experience mo kay Vetassess. In the end less points po sya. May i know ilan total years of experience ipapa assess m? At kung ilan years yan employment mo na may problema sa hr?

hi po,

i had the same issue po before, meron akong company whom i worked for 2 years na ayaw mag provide ng papers, good thing, meron akong SSS copy na meron nklagay na company name, and may naitabi ako copy ng contract at yung letter nung naregular ako. Aside from that, I asked my colleague (not senior, just same age and position as I am), to testify na nagwork talga ako dun sa company, stating all my job descriptions, and pinanotarize nya po. inacknowledge naman po ni vetasses.

Alternatively, you can do a stat dec and provide supporting documents. That’s what my clients do. Don’t give up. Construction is a priority sector, you’re definitely in the right place.

This is a great insight po. Will try din po ito as alternative if ayaw po talaga ng company. Thank you po for the reply.

This is a sign for me. Hopefully maayos ko na po. Thank you appreciate it po.

Yep.. may UAP group mga Pinoy architect at ex-architects dito. May offer nga sila ng assistance para marenew uli namin PRC license namin kahit matagal ng expired (like mine since 2017).

Hi po mga kabayan, dahil nakita kong in-demand for Architectural draftsperson and i plan to apply for PR so this will be my first post here at medyo confused pa ako sa steps or process.

kung sino po may alam ano po ang parang steps na ginawa nyo for self application sa immigration? quite aware ako about sa vetasses and the IELTS, it's just hindi ko alam ang tamang arrangement kung ano uunahin at baka may na skip din na need pang gawin. so maraming salamat kung sino makapag bigay ng insight about this.

Hello, @bryan_maagma ,

First namin ginawa is nagcollect and submit muna ng documents sa vetassess. Medyo matagal yung processing nila, mga around 3-4 weeks. So while waiting sa vetassess, nagprepare and nag take kami ng PTE academic (english test). Nung nareceive namin both yung PTE and vetassess certificates, nag lodge na kami ng mga Expression of Interest (EOI) sa mga states ng Australia. Then ayun, waiting game na kung sino mag invite sa amin na state.

Hope this helps

Hi po mga kabayan...

check mo tong smart visa

Check mo rin sa mismong website para sa requirements ng Visa 190/Visa 491

Check mo din sa mismong website ng vetassess yung requirements at kung pasok nga ba yung roles & responsibilities mo para sa archi draft.

Karamihan dito,Including me, PTE ang tinake kasi mas madali na computer ang mag score sayo kesa sa IELTS na may interaction sa examiner.

salamat po sa idea na ito po sir, buti may ganitong options din pala. i'll take a look on this very carefully.

May mga threads dito na specifically for vetassess at PTE/IELTS, check mo nalang yun hanapin mo nalang via search bar.

Saka pala, kung naka desktop ka, check mo yung signature ng mga tao dito. Kadalasan nilalagay ng iba dito yung timeline nila. Para rin may idea ka kung pano yung ginawa nila.

ay sorry po ma'am, my bad. anyways i'll take note din po yan. i'll try to understand these properly at in a timely manner. minsan kasi when i heard IELTS sometimes nakaka intimidate kasi.

Hello sir/mam, I would like to ask question re vetassess. on going progress na po yong documents na pinasa ko. Paano kung ganito nakalagay, nireview ko ulit yong uploaded na documents about identification and tama naman yong nilagay ko. Ang problem ay hinihingan ako name change sa identification

Hindi po ba dahil wala ako nilagay na middle name upon filling in sa mismong vetassess?

or pwedeng yong documents na pinasa ko re identification ay hindi clear yong sulat.

Much appreciated po sa makakasagot since DIY lang po ako. Thank you.
