How does Skill Select Works?

aoleeaolee SingaporePosts: 571Member, De-activated
edited December 2013 in Working and skilled visas
SkillSelect is based on an electronic two-stage process whereby intending migrants:

(Stage 1) submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)
(Stage 2) are invited to apply for a skilled migration visa by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC)


"Despite lodging an EOI, there is no guarantee that applicants will move on to stage two (ie. be invited to apply for a skilled migration visa). They will remain on a database of interested applicants ranked by points, date of application and occupation for up to two years. After that time’s up, if they haven’t been invited to apply for the visa, the EOI is removed and it’s game over – that application has failed."

    Yes, dapat po talaga you have already taken IELTS and your skills assessed na kasi yun yung basis mo to answer the questions sa skill select and for the computation of your points. Di mo pwede hulaan score mo sa IELTS and sabihin na pasado ka na sa skills assessment kahit wala pa. You have to REMEMBER that whatever information you provided in EOI will be used in the whole process of your application if and when you're invited to apply.

    Here is the link to DIAC's skill select: http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/

    Nominated Occupation: Software Engineer (261313) - Husband is the primary applicant.

    2 years ang validity ng IELTS at Skills Assessment diba?

    Anyway, I read from another site that the immigration is encouraging employer-sponsored visa types so what we can do is to file an EoI based on the standard points system, then while waiting, still look for potential employers...If you find one, just submit another EoI and replace the old one...at least your application will be processed faster that way.

    Hi ang Australia parliamentary form of government. hindi sila basta batsa nagpapalit ng mga batas kapag naibatas na kung sakali may nakaupong bago. di tulad sa Pilipinas kapag bago bago din ang cabinet members o lahat ng secretary ng departamento ng gobyerno.

    kung si tony Abbot ang maging Prime minister malamang mas lalong hihigpit ang immigration law at pauuwiin sa kanilang bansa ang mga refugee boat people.

    Hi, to all!

    Ask ko lang yun tungkol sa bago rule ng migration sa tingin ko kasi di na kami makakaabot pa makapaglodge ng application before july 2012 new system.Until now di pa namin nakukuha un COE sa Pinas kasi dami reason at excuse na kung bakit 2 weeks na mahigit eh di pa mapasign un COE ng hubby ko. Pwede na sana stat dec don kaso sabi ng agent namin eh risky daw pag lahat ng work experience na eh ppuro naka stat dec na.Kaya ayun nag-aantay kami na mkuha un sa pinas na coe, nakikisuyo lang kasi kami sa dati nya kaoofiemate eh at busy din naman sya.kaya until now di pa kami nakakasubmit ng assessment ni hubby sa vetasses. based don sa nababsa ko eh matagal pa un result non after lodging. Paki explain naman kung gaano kahirap un new system kung under visa 176 kami, mahirap na ba un approval non?TIA!

    @Jenny_sg Based po sa mga info dito sa forum. Yung mataas na points ang mas prioririze nila. And you first need to provide an Expression of interest (EOI) application to DIAC before you can proceed with the visa application. No acknowledgement of your EOI you could not proceed with your application. Syempre you need na magpasa din ng mga usual requirements like IELTS and skills assessment together with the EOI.

    Parang me dadaaan ka pang another process bako ka makapag apply ng visa. Unlike ngayon pwede ka na maglodge once kumpleto mo na yung IELTS at skills assessment mo.

    accdg sa post ni @aolee, after sending EOI, you would have to wait for the Invitation to Apply before you can proceed. that's the difference based sa pagkakaintindi ko..

    @ k_mavs & sgmumsy, thank sa paliwanag!

    Wala din naman kami magagawa kung di kami makakaabot before sa july 2012.Mukhang susubok kami sa bago rules ng migration system nila.Nag agent na nga kami para di madelay un pagaayos ng submition ng application namin kaso sa tingin ko mukha di kakayanin lalo na sa tgal ng assessment sa vetasses,na don kami babagsak sa bago rules.Anyway, may God Blesses us all to our application and journey down under.Hoing and praying na lang kami na maging blessing un bago rule sa amin...goodluck sa lahat.

    @ aolee, gusto talaga namin gawin un na puntahan un company nya dati sa pinas kaso di tlaga pwede si hubby makaleave kasi sobra dami deadlines at project nila sa office.Araw-araw na sya ot tapos nag rereview pa sya sa ielts nya this coming march 31, nagleave na rin sya sa last week ng march para lang tutukan ang ielts exam nya, ako naman nagrereview rin pero by 2nd week ng april un exam ko kasi huli na ng sabihin ng agent namin na expired na daw un ielts ko dati.Sa Nclex kasi un Ielts ko kaso more than 1 year na sya, sa nclex kasi valid sya for 2 years pero kung sa migration purposes daw 1 year lag sya valid.Admin aolee nacheck mo na ba kung pumasok na sa account un transfer ko?

    Latest I heard was that the final guidelines for Skill Select and the new immigration rules will be released sometime in May...

    So sa mga humahabol, ask yourselves first if you can complete all visa documents in 3 months...kung kaya, itodo niyo na ang pagpasa hehe...

    Kung hindi po aabot, pagbutihin niyo na lang muna ang IELTS...malaking bagay po yung 10 - 20 points...tapos magpasa na po kayo ng skills assessment.

    Hi everyone,

    Im new here and planning to migrate to OZ as well. Can an agent quicken the process for immig application? Kasi nag iisip ako kng gagamit pa ng agent or mas OK kng sariling sikap nlng. At least makakatipid...your thoughts?...

    Thanks!

    That's a common misconception...(correct me if I'm wrong hehe)...agents will not speed up the process, they just make your life more convenient because they will do all the requirements for you (i.e. documentation, compliance, submission).

    Kumbaga, pareho lang po kayo ng pinipilahan ng agent, yun nga lang pag gumamit kayo ng agent, sila ang pipila para sa inyo. Walang "priority lane" ang mga agents sa pagprocess ng visa hehe (pag nagsabi sila nang parang ganyan, magduda na kayo)

    If you have the time to read the requirements and the time to compile them, you're better off doing it yourself (nakatipid ka pa ng 100,000++).
