  @dft yung sa bridging program? wala, nagpapaka-safe lang. hehehe.. at saka yun na rin kasi advice ng dad ko and sister kaya yun.. kasi pag bridging program pag wala ka mahanap na employer, kelangan mo bumalik sa pinas. unlike pag nag aral ka dun for 2 years, may mga options. una, pwede ka mag apply dun sa post study work arrangements after mo magaral (if im not mistaken 2 years ang ibibigay sayo), so pwede ka na rin magwork dun and maghanap ng employer at the same time, tapos kung yung skilled migrant visa naman ang kukunin mo after ng studies, merong plus points kasi bachelor degree ang inaral mo dun. yun nga lang, mas malaking gastos nga lang talaga at mas time consuming.
  
  About sa BP naman, may nabasa akong forum, im not sure kung eto rin yun (ang dami ko kasi binabasang forums about student visa. haha) meron daw siyang friend na nagBP tapos ang sabi nung employer kelangan daw may at least 6 months na experience dun sa Australia kaya di siya nasponsor. although sabi naman nung iba, nakakahanap din sila. kaya kelangan talaga mag pursigi sa paghahanap ng employer kasi may kahirapan din maghanap. Yun lang ang negative side ng BP, tapos syempre pressure din sa time.

  para sa mga student visa kuhanin nyo course yung nasa SOL at least 2yrs course para after u finish the course pwede ka mag apply ng Post Study Visa which is a 2yrs work visa within that timeframe siguro naman magkaka experience na and pass the ielts etc. Tapos after 2yrs apply na ng permanent visa like State Sponsorship Visa or Independent Visa.
  
  Yan po pathway ng student visa na gusto mag PR after studies, sana po maliwanagan napo lahat.

  May 5 years experience po aq sa IT related sa software, balak ko po kumuha ng 1 year IT diploma course at the same time sana makahanap ng company na mag sponsor skin sa oz while holding a student visa pag nasa oz nko.
  Ask q lang po kung posible ba na 'student visa convert to working visa' kahit na dpa tapos yung course kung may mag sponsor na employer na? May naka experience npo ba ng ganito?
  Salamat po!

  @boybawang26 wala kasiguraduhan yan.. mas mabuti mag apply ka nalang as skilled migrant.. and kung 1year lang duration ng course mo after your studies need muna bumalik pinas.

  hi everyone, it's my first time to post in here though my looking for this site for the past few months na. sobrang tense lang kasi ako. i've tried to apply in USQ for semester 1 2013 intake however after 2, almost 3 months of waiting they decline my application after an interview so i have to apply to another unis that has sem 2 intake. first ielts take ko, my grade is: OBS of 6.5 and lowest ko writing which is 6, i have tried to retake my ielts to get a higher grade, sa march 27 pa labas so still don't know if that take 2 exam could help. so far what i have is:
  
  southbank - tafe sya for diploma of nursing, i choose this kasi pasok ielts ko. may offer na and mageexpire na sa april 30, my prob is i need 2.3M as a proof of fund as per idp advised. (pending)
  
  university of sunshine coast - conditional offer given because they required an ielts obs score of 7 and not lower than 6.5. i still don't know what would be my grade in ielts on this second time around. (pending)
  
  queensland university of technology - i really want to study in here! still there is no offer, even conditional offer. its been almost 1 1/2 month. feeling ko tuloy parang USQ lang.
  
  curtin university - no reply yet.
  
  idp advised me i can choose elicos in case,, another problem arises, puro 10 week english program lang nakikita ko and that should start by first week of may. eh ung tuition ko malamang may pa dumating.
  
  QUESTION: guys, can you suggest some universities na mabilis magrply? ung may intake this sem 2, na may 5week english program lang? kasi if ever ndi ko pa din makuha ung grade na need kosa ielts, 5 week lang tlaga abot ng time ko.
  
  sorry sa haba. tense lang talaga ako.
  appreciate any reply. thanks!
