Australia thread 6

[Ejaxene]

Dahil sumasakit na ang ulo ko kakabasa sa immig.gov.au, dito na lang po muna ako magtatanong.

I am planning to apply for Skilled-regional sponsored visa subclass 475 or subclass 176.
How can i apply for regional sponsorship?
Need kasi na may parang acknowledgement na from the region na they will sponsor me.

(tama ba question ko? hehe)

I highly suggest that you read from the DIAC website. It's where most of us will direct you anyway.

475 = Provisional visa. Kailangan ng relative sponsorship or regional sponsorship. Kung walang relative, you will need to have an offer of employment in a regional area of some states, for an occupation on their occupation lists. There are also states that don't require employment offers for them to sponsor applications. The region will sponsor you if you are in their in-demand occupations list.

176 = Almost same lang ng 475 but this is a permanent residency visa application.

Mga sis my tanong lang ako, yung Papa ko nasa Sydney, Australian citizen narin siya matagal na. By next year, sabi nya issponsor nya ko para makarating dun at makapagwork.

Madali ba makahanap ng work? BS Biology graduate ako, my experience ako as an environmental consultant, nakapagwork din ako sa call center. Ang gusto ko kasi makapagwork sa Sydney sa isang zoo o kahit parang katulad ng ocean park satin.

Hmm. If I remember correctly, mas mataas yung priority ng state sponsored kesa sa family sponsored. I think you're better off looking at state sponsorship. You'll have to know if you can nominate an occupation that is in the Skilled Occupation List (SOL), have your skills assessed and so on.

Sana madali lang dun makakuha ng sponsorship.
Excited na ko mag January para makapag ielts na.

[glacy_rein]

its january 1st and my current situation now, last day of work ko na ng january 11 and got nothing to do pa.. i plan to pursue my australian visa para makalabas na.

anong mas ok.. magpaasikaso through travel agency or solo? i went to VIA and all the gave me was the application form then punta na lang daw ako ng website. i dont know where to start.

[yuki]

i guess ang first step for application is ielts, halos lahat un ang sinasabi.

[glacy_rein]

ielts? kailangan ba talaga yun kahit tourist ka lang? d naman yata?

[jackyjames_09]

Hi there! I'm a newbie here..
My husband is an Australian Citizen and i'm a Registered Nurse here in Philippines. i graduated last April 2011 and took the board exam last July 2 and 3, 2011. Fortunately, i passed my exam, until now i have no any work experience. My visa is ongoing na po. DO I NEED A 2-3 YEARS EXPERIENCE HERE AS A NURSE EVEN THOUGH ILL BE AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN SOON ?
sa mga narinig ko kc no need na daw pro for sure i need to study pa or have a training in their country.
please help. THANK YOU!!

[snowyice]

^kahit ba IT dapat pumasa ng IELTS?

[kristinebarrios]

ielts? kailangan ba talaga yun kahit tourist ka lang? d naman yata?

if tourist visa no need for ielts. para lang sa mga mimigrate.

[binx]

just finished reading the whole thread! 

im now planning to apply for Skilled Independent (Migrant) Sub Class 175.
Siguro i will do skills assessment muna with ACS.
Pag ok na, saka na ako mag ielts.

Keep posting sissies... need to know more about AUS.

Somebody posted nga pala that Melbourne is the most livable place in the world.

Between Melbourne and NSW, which one po mas maganda mag apply ng sponsorship?

[nadialicious16]

Rampant pa rin ba mga racist sa Sydney at Melbourne ? Just curious. Have mates from work who all came from the said places and transferred here in NT because of racism.

[binx]

aw, may racism?

[Superjoie]

^kahit ba IT dapat pumasa ng IELTS?

san po pwede magtake nito? or mag apply ng exam?

[[-c-h-a-]]

^^lahat ng countries may racism wag na tayo lumayo, sa Pilipinas nga we're discriminated by our OWN race. Pag may puti, special treatment. Hindi na pinapansin yung ibang pinoy kapag nakakita ng puti na customer

although personally, I haven't experienced racism in Australia. And I've been here awhile.

[kristinebarrios]

Im currently in Sydney for a vacation, so far hindi naman ako naka experience ng racism sa kanila. if I enter stores, some SAs greet and ask if they can help.

my aunt who has migrated here says hindi mawawala ang racism, if papakita mong papa api ka, mabubully ka daw talaga.

one reason kasi is the outsourcing of jobs from AU to other countries, like sa Pinas. Nagagalit ang mga Aussie kasi nawawala trabaho dito at binibigay sa ibang bansa.

I've been here for 3 weeks na and ayaw ng mga Aussie ang US brands. There's Hungry Jack's which is Burger King. Gourmet Pizza Kitchen is California Pizza Kitchen. Starbucks is not even popular, ang umiinom sa SB ay mga Asians at mostly tourists pa.

Recently, Heinz factory closed down, kawawa ang mga workers na na lay off. Apparently, lugi daw. Consumers are cost cutting din kasi, weird kasi ang mura dito ay yung mga imported daw, mahal pag made in Aussie because mahal ang labor.

There's a fashion brand here called SUPRE and they promote consumers to buy their products kasi it's Australian made.

Mahal kasi ang labor sa AU kaya yung ibang companies nagcocost cutting at nililipat ang labor sa 3rd world countries.

[RuChe]

Also thinking of migrating to AU. Still researching what visa to apply, if Skilled Independent (175) or State Nominated (176). 

Sisses, ano ba kelangan gawin to get high score in IELTS. Do I need to enroll in review centers? Yung tulad ng niners ba yun?  Tsaka ano pala yung DIAC skills test?
