pwede ko kaya ipare-assess yung occupation ko para maging electrical engineering technician? Ang hirap sa engineering technologist, sarado ang state sponsorship para dito.

Happy New Year to all!!!

I have some inquiries regarding fee payment, in the method of payment, what will I select, is it the standard cdr assessment which is AUD 550 or the relevant skilled emplyment which is AUD 150. btw, I'm appying for visa 189 and I'm trying to apply as Telecommunications Engineer. Thanks a lot in advance for the response.

to have a basis for claiming points on work exp... i suggest you avail the additional service (relevant skilled employment)... so cdr assess fee 620 + employment assessment fee 250..

i just checked EA website and those are the fees applicable..

chu_se · January 2014

@lock_code2004....ask ko lng po sir...if ung CDR ko lng ipa assess ko,okey lng ba yun?since all my work experienced are related to my course.
ano po ba mging results if i will not include the additional charge for employment assessment fee?

pwede din naman.. pero their assessment is the basis of the CO for awarding points sa EOI mo..

assuming hindi ka nagpa-assess ng work exp mo... nag claim ka ng 8 yrs work exp = 15 pts... at ang total points mo is 60 pts...na invite ka to apply for visa.. nag apply ka, at nag ka case officer.. pag-evaluate ni CO, nakita nya na hindi nmn pala relevant ang 1 work exp mo.. so sabi nya, 5 yrs lang ang pwede mo i claim, meaning 10pts lang.. therefore magkukulang ang EOI pts mo=55pts.. ang result visa denied.. sayang ang lahat ng binayad mo.. example ko lang ito...

my point, yung work exp assessment is additional fee, pero it will give you peace of mind in claiming work exp if its relevant or not.. you may say its relevant, pero baka sa assessment criteria nila hindi nmn pala..

now if you really say na relevant talaga at sure na sure ka.. okay din naman.. it is your call..

just saying..

Hi guys! Nung Dec. 26 nag 16 weeks na yung CDR ko with EA but since they are on a holiday I figured baka madelay ng konti. Nung Jan.3, I sent status inquiry and I received a reply saying na plus 10 days more pa daw since they just got back. Prolonging the agony.

Is there a chance na mababa or negative ang result ng assessment ko?

If negative, what are my other options?

If positive, what is my next move?

Thanks. Paranoid mode ako ngayon.

basti · January 2014

@lock_code2004 thanks for the reply.Can I submit first my documents to EA before I take
up my IELTS exam or mas advisable na take my IELTS first, then wait for the result. Hopefully, if I reached my desired grade, then I forward my assessment to EA? Thanks a lot.

AnnieIngles · January 2014

@basti Ganyan nangyari sa amin. Ang advise ng agent namin is to go for EA assessment muna using old IELTS scores. Then she gave us two options. 1) Go so State Sponsorship to get additional 5 points to make our points go out to 60 and apply for subclass 190 OR 2.) Retake IELTS and try to get an OBS of 7, which will give us 10points, making our total points 65 na. Then we can apply for subclass 189.

Hindi pa namin alam which option to take.

lock_code2004 · January 2014

@basti tama submit na EA assessment para umaandar na.. While on going assessment you prepare what will be your next step.. Tama advice sa taas retake or take SS kung pwede..

basti · January 2014

@AnnieIngles & @loc_code2004 thanks a lot for the replies. re: employment assessment, what are the docs to comply? is the coe enough or do I need to submit the skilled employment record? thanks a lot.. really appreciate all the help and guidance...

AnnieIngles · January 2014

@basti Baka mas masagot yan ni @lock_code2004 kasi andyan na sya hehe. Nasa document preparation pa rin kme ng EA Skills Assessment and so far ang hiningi sa amin ng agent namin is CDR, Professional Summary, CPD, IELTS results na minimum 6 OBS, COE with detailed job description and salary. Kung hindi daw kaya makakuha ng COE with detailed job description (yung iba kse sa HR pwede na pero generic yung COE, yung mga may JD usually galing sa supervisor, eh yung ibang applicants daw ayaw pa magsabi sa supervisor na nagpaplano mag migrate), pwede na daw i-print ang detailed JD sa letterhead ng company then pa sign sa HR. So far, COE na lang kulang namin. Target namin to submit for EA assessment is January 15.

basti · January 2014

@AnnieIngles ipapaassess nyo din ba yung skilled employment nyo which is AUD 250 or yung CDR lang which is AUD600? kase based on what I have read, in order to know if the employment we about to assess is valid or not so I am planning to include the skilled employment record? btw, yan din lang hiningi sa kin dati nung mag try ako na maghire ng agent, unfortunately, hindi kakayanin ng budget kaya di ko na tinuloy. hehehe di na ba kasama yung transcript of records, diploma and prc license?

Sa ielts, san po ba based yung additional na 10 pts sa obs lang ba or kelangan at least 7 lahat? for example L & R both 8 while S & W both 6 the OBS will still be 7. Will i still get addl points kahit na 6 lang yung 2 bands ko? thanks

AnnieIngles · January 2014

@basti We are going to go for the Skills Assessment, yung 600AUD. Actually 620AUD na nga yta sya ngayon. Sabi ng agent, EA will suggest which code we can fall under. Si hubby kse Mechanical Engineer, pero meron din kse dun sa SOL na Mechanical Engineering Draftsperson, na medyo similar ang work kay hubby. So antayin namin what they recommend. Kailangan pa din ang other docs. For Visa Application naman yta yun. Ang hinihingi sa akin is NSO birth cert naming tatlo, passport naming tatlo, COE, diploma, TOR, PRC cert, PRC board ratings, PRC ID, IELTS result, certificate of trainings if available, aside from the professional summary and the CPD. The CPD details the trainings hubby went through, along with date and synopsis of training.

Ang understanding ko sa IELTS is need to get 7 in all modules to get 10 points. But you can clarify this with the other more experienced members in the forum kse barely step 1 pa lang kme. Hehehe.

appledeuce · January 2014

@basti hi. For migration purposes, the general IELTS requirement is you get at least a 6.0 in each module. If you have a score of at least 7.0 in ALL modules, you can claim 10 points. If at least 8.0 in ALL modules, 20 points. HTH.

iamBrian · January 2014

hi guys, im new sa forum. i have a question. for your CER, did anyone of you ask help from a 'proofreading' service before submitting the report to EA. I have already written one but im not very confident of it.

if you could suggest one, that would be good. but if someone here willing to assess my report that would be even better.

Thanks a lot and happy new year to all

@piglet24, positive yan!

madali lang ang EA, IELTS ang mahirap pag di makuha ang desired scores para makakuha ng points.

jepoy527 · January 2014

@iamBrian, alam ko madaming ganyan sa mga indiano. meron pa nga silang service na sila mismo ang gagawa ng CDR mo. try mong humanap ng forums na puro indiano ang members.

basti · January 2014

@AnnieIngles ok thank you very much and good luck sa atin. : )

basti · January 2014

@appledeuce thanks for the clarification... : )

AnnieIngles · January 2014

@basti You're welcome. Good luck din

iamBrian · January 2014

Salamat po @jepoy527

nikah13 · January 2014

@IslanderndCity kamusta? nag ask ka pa ba sa EA kung nakuha nila ung TRF? I'm kind of on the same boat. hehe. British Council sent the TRF last July 2013 pero nag submit lang ako ng assessment application sa EA last December...kaka email ko lang sa EA to ask bago ko ito nabasa.

wizardofOz · January 2014

Hi sa lahat!

It's good to be back dito sa forum at makita na yung mga kasabay ko pa lang nag-take ng IELTS dati, ngayon tapos and pumasa na ang EA assessment... Nakaka-inspire

Balik na uli ako sa pag-asikaso ng CDR hehehehe

basti · January 2014

Good evening. Currently Im working here in the Phils as a telecomms engr. Plan ko po sana is nominated job is Telecommunications Engr (ANZCO 2633) but when I checked on the website of DIAC the ceilings it is almost full (226 out of possible 300). Because of this, I am planning to nominate instead, Telecomms Field Engr. It has more ceilings (7 out of possible 180 allocation). Yung requirement po kasi sa Telecomms Field Engr is lower as compared sa Telecommunications Engr. One, associate degree ang kelangan sa Field Engr while Bachelors degree sa latter. And I think I could qualify for the Bachelors degree. Question ko po is wala bang magiging epekto sa assessment sa EA if "over qualified" sa intended nominated job. sorry for the term. Almost applicable naman po yung 2 sa current job ko. Need some advise po sana kung ano mas maganda gawin. Thanks a lot

chu_se · January 2014

@wizardofOz ..same tayo, mag focus na ulit sa paggawa ng CDR habang nag aabang sa results ng ielts

btarroja213 · January 2014

@basti - I suggest you concentrate on the item with more available slots. Mejo malayo ka pa kasi sa process. Baka maubos ang 74 remaining slots ng Telecoms Engr before lumabas EA assessment mo.

thegreatiam15 · January 2014

hello...nagsubmit na po ako nang mga certified documents sa vetasses expected 29th probably 30th magstart yung processing...usually gaano katagal or ilang weeks bago lumabas or magsend back nang results para dito?

basti · January 2014
