Help: Recommendation of Agency here in singapore. :)

tutik · May 2013

nag walk-in ako sa AIMS dati, ok naman ang free consultation kaso, 6k ang quote tas nakita ko itong site kaya DIY nalang

make Pinoyau your agent

plokie · May 2013

@tutik ang mahal naman pala nung sa AIMS....kapag ba kunwari nareject ka... pwede ka naman umulit diba? hehe

tutik · May 2013

kalahati lang ang refund pag di na approve. family kasi kami kaya siguro ganun kamahal. pero di na ako humingi ng discount baka mapasubo. i-aassess ka naman nila kung sure. no room for retake ang goal nila. pag may doubt sila sa chances mo pwede ka rin nila tanggihan.

plokie · May 2013

@tutik ahhh... may refund naman pala... hmmm...

plokie · May 2013

Tanong po ulit, sa mga nag agent po... tinulungan ba kayo ng agency na maghanap nung mga jobsite or exact job openings na pwedeng ilagay nyo during application sa state sponsorship? Kasi nung tinitignan ko ung para sa aken, parang wala akong mahanap sa ACT e... pero dun lang ako open... so baka pagdating dun wala na akong patunguhan...

tutik · May 2013

@plokie, tinanong ko din yang tungkol sa jobhunting. ang sagot nila, meron silang partner na job agency dun na pede nila i-refer. tumataginting na $$$ fee nanaman yan

plokie · May 2013

@tutik ayyy.... ano un para magpost ng job na swak saken pero di totoo? hahaha...

mjse · July 2013

helo all! newbie here.. ask lang po ng advise sa pag pili ng nominated occupation. Si hubby po ang main applicant samin at humingi kme ng assessment k agent James Allan . as per him mechanical draftsperson ang dapat inominate ni hubby. Pa advise lang po sana kung pde kme mag apply ng Mechanical Engineer instead ng draftsperson. kasi nabasa ko po sa Engr's Australia Migration booklet ito..

MIGRATION SKILLS ASSESSMENT, pg14;

"Your CDR will be assessed against the competency
standards of the occupational category specified by you.
Engineers Australia will not assess your competencies
against an occupational category higher than the one you
have specified, but may consider assessment against a
lower occupational category if you are assessed as not
suitable for your nominated category."

gusto lang po sana nmin humingi ng advise para maging confident po kme sa pag file namin. Pde po bang ang inominate namin for hubby is Mechanical Engineer? pasensya na po parang simple lang po ang tanong ko pro nalilito po talaga kme. malaking pasalamat po kme kung mabigyan kme ng guidance. nalito kasi kame sa advise nung agent. M.E. si hubby sa education and experience pro sa ME draftsperson sya na-categorize ng agent. kindly help. salamat po ng marami! God bless!

hubby:
BSM.E., licensed
Mechanical engineer 2 yrs+(2010- present)
Mechanical design engineer 5 years (2004-2009)

tontoronsky · July 2013

@mjse - hi sis. You can nominate Mechanical Engineer as long as your CDR can demonstrate the Mechanical Engineer as described by EA. If hindi nman cya equivalent as per assessment ni EA, sila mgbibigay ng recommendation kung ano tlgang occupation ang suitable.

You can also go to "Engineers Australia Skills Assessment" thread. Marami rin makaktulong sayo dun.

floradanica · July 2013

WOW. ang laki pala ng agent's fee hehe. pwede ako na lang agent nyo? lol tamang tama, jobless na'ko next month. hahaha!

DIY and loads and tons of reading and asking, and you'll save thousands.

arlene5781 · July 2013

Share ko lang po, we had the same experience kagaya kay @ADMIN. Initially kay James Hall kami paid na kmi ng 1st stage tapos napapansin namin ang bagal nila sumagot sa queries namin not so good experience kahit ang case manager namin is pinoy and sa totoo lang po e maayos pa kausap ang mga tao dito sa pinoyau than giving us concrete answers than my agent. We almost give up kasi sabi ni agent hopeless case na kmi. So we decided to switch to Ntrust so far so good naman po and hopefully we get invites soon

floradanica · July 2013

@arlene5781 mam pano po nila nasabing hopeless ang case niyo, if ya don't mind?

arlene5781 · July 2013

@floradanica kasi sabi nya kung di daw namin ma meet ielts 7.0 all band wla na kami chance mag AU and he wanted us sa NZ instead. Kaya medyo na disappointed kami kasi kami pa nagsource out ng information dito yun pala meron kami pag asa based on our critiria. He is only agent kaya medyo matagal ang response

kaaaaaye · July 2013

hi po. first time ko po magpost d2. c James Hall dn agent namin. Mejo nwwla na patience naminni hubby kc super bgal nila. As in. Now nsa SA SS stage na kmi. Every step kmi pa ang naguupdate sa kanila. even ung EA skills assessment ko ako pa magsbi sa kanila na positive..=(

floradanica · July 2013

@arlene5781 mam parang masyado naman po atang nilimit ni agent yung capacity niyo as a skilled migrant. Yung program naman po ng Australia for migration e point-based, so kung mababa ka sa isang area, pwede naman pong mahatak ng iba pang criterion, such as work experience na related sa nominated occupation niyo. At yung English proficiency po based ata yan sa nominated occupation niyo. Some would require higher, some lower.

Basa basa lang din po ginawa ko. Minsan di sure kaya tanong tanong din kahit sa mga mismong offices na mismo ng mga related agencies/departments para supported ang sagot.

All the best!

arlene5781 · July 2013

@floradanica oo nga po, buti na lang lumipat kami ntrust and naconfirm ko na pwede pala kami maglodge kahit 6.0 lang makuha naman ielts. sana nga po tuloy tuloy na ito...

@kaaaaaye sis ganyan din lagi nangyari sa amin, lagi pa sya out of the country kaya waiting game ang response, sa tingin ko sa dami nya client at nagiisa lang syang agent puro staff nya lang nag aattend tapos pasa sa kanya yung queries

JPK · July 2013

Hi @arlene5781! Si James din sana balak namin i-hire as agent pero kung mabagal sila hanap na nga din kami ng iba. Thanks sa heads up!

Matanong ko lang, magkano pala ang fee ng Ntrust? Sila rin ata yun may charge na around 150-200 sgd for consultation, tama ba?

kaaaaaye · July 2013

@arlene5781 sobra sis. ang kausap namin dun joanne ung name. minsan nkaka 5 na kming email wla prin sagot. nkakafrustrate tuloy.. huhu

happyinmelbourne34 · July 2013

cguro nga sobrang dami n pong client ng Aumigrate, nung nag sign up kc ko sa kanila back 2007 po e ang bilis nla mag reply sa mga inquiries and emails ko, although meron sa kin naka assign na staff nya. But nung time na yun e ang onti pa lang nmin cgurong client nya kc cla pa ung tumatawag non na kelangan ko ng tapusin ang skills assessment at pag may mga tanong ako mabilis clang sumagot sa email at mag update ng progress ng application ko.

But ms. arlene, advised lang po if possible take ulit kayo ng IELTS kc alam ko at need to have a high score sa IELTS to get higher pts although pwede nman po sa state nomination ang band 6 n score

Cguro nga po try other agents n lang or better DIY, at magtanong na lang po dto s forum at read ng immi.gov.au website. Nung I decided n mag Au eh totally wala kong alam s process kaya nag agent at minalas po ako sa DIY sa NZ nasayang ung 300NZD ko non. At wala p pong pinoyau.info non ang inabot ko po ay philippines.com.au but medyo limited pa po ung info na makukuha unlike dto sa pinoyau na napaka informative. I suggested dn sa friend ko interested mag migrate dto na mag read dto sa forum plus ung DIAC website para makatipid sa agent fee.

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@kaaaaaye Pano nyo po nalaman na positive ung result nyo? dba sa kanila lahat ng access? pano nyo nacheck or nalaman?

kaaaaaye · July 2013

@rachelle_gan2 chneck lng po namin sa website ung current date na inaassess nila tpos nung nkta namin na nalgpasan na ung date namin nagemail po kmi sa [email protected].. tpos nagreply nmn po cla sa amin na naassess na nila cdr namin at positive..=) then inemail ko ung agent ko to inform them na pasado na at paconfirm.. hehe

arlene5781 · July 2013

@JPK yes po last feb po kami transfer sa kanila 180, tapos refundable naman po ito once na ok na visa nyo.

@kaaaaaye sis si rey ang staff na nag handle sa amin from aumigrate

@happyinmelbourne34 thanks po for the insight. i think tama kyo na madami na sila client kaya medyo mabagal ang response nila. ok na naman po ako sa ielts 6 to pass eoi, for 189 visa kasi pasok naman din po sa scoring sa awa ng Diyos, sana nga po 3 years ago ko pa ito inumpisahan e

ae12 · July 2013

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently working in SG as an I.T, i would just like to know is I.T in demand in OZ?

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@ae12 - masyadong generic ang term na IT.. kailangan alam mo ang specialization/skill mo..

your first check is to see if your occupation/skill is in either SOL or CSOL
check the list of indemand occupation here: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/sol/

kung nandun, then next step is to understand the whole process..
step 1 ka muna...

JPK · July 2013

@JPK yes po last feb po kami transfer sa kanila 180, tapos refundable naman po ito once na ok na visa nyo.

Thanks for your feedback @arlene5781.. Would you be kind to share how much the processing fee Ntrust is charging? Gusto ko sana magkaroon ng idea bago ako magpabook ng appointment sa kanila.

arlene5781 · July 2013

@JPK nasa 4600 ang contract namin and take note po this is AUD medyo pricey po talaga pero kung sa future naman ng anak ko ito ok lang po

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@JPK Just want to share the experience.. Im so under James Hall of AU migrate. Though medyo mabagal ng konti pero para sakin if compare sa ntrust mas reasonable ung pricing nila.. Very economical compare sa Ntrust.

Ung pagiging mabagal naman.. Kulitin mo lang ng kulitin.. or masyado lang talaga ako excited to know the result.

Pero James Hall is a very good agent.. Magaling cya. As in matutulungan ka nya.. really!

nasa timeline parin naman ung samin.. So far ok pa naman..

happyinmelbourne34 · July 2013

ms arlene5781, isa dn po cgurong reason kung bakit bumagal ang aumigrate kc sinama na dn pala nla ang NZ tanda ko kc dati non 2007 ang ino offer lang nla ay Oz.

Anyway, goodluck po sa application nyo..basta kulitin nyo lang dn po ung agent nyo regarding sa update/progress ng application and basta matapos nman ung skills assessment at ma consider ung EOI nyo at mabgyan kayo ng invitation mabilis n lang ung processing ng DIAC.

jvframos · July 2013

@plokie hi, my agent did the research for the state sponsorship, and she did very well... she asked me to check everything before she submit them. but i had some input especially sa sources of financial capacity.... may mga suggestions lang say pero i put the actual sources and amount.

jvframos · July 2013

@arlene5781 ang mahal ng fee nila.... siguro because company kasi sila. main reason siguro why our agent only charged us 1500AUD kasi she's working on her own, libre pa young initial consultation.
