In my latest book ‘Migration During Pandemics’ it clearly outlines why professional Filipinos should be setting themselves up for permanent migration to Australia under the General Skilled Migration Program through SkillSelect than applying for temporary work visa applications to other Middle-Eastern or Asian countries.
The pandemic has shown many faults in Filipino strategies in the pursuit of temporary work visa applications and the harsh reality of being stuck in third countries without workplace protection, medical insurance or basic human rights obligation to the population. This becomes even more acute if you are stuck on a vessel in the middle of nowhere.
As concerning as this pandemic has become professional Filipinos should take a more serious approach regarding their future plans for their careers and family aspirations. Jose articulates a compelling reason why those Filipino professionals in the following occupations should commence their SkillSelect Visa Application to Australia now.
“What is a place worse than HELL”, Jose would ask?
“It’s called LIMBO”, he will answer.
Being in LIMBO is where many Filipinos find themselves in because they are more interested in listening to other commentary that is either FREE or UNSOLICITED. LIMBO is where many Filipinos stay until they realise that either their ‘occupation has been removed from the Occupations List’ or they are frankly just ‘too old to migrate to Australia’ under SkillSelect pathways.
During the pandemic, the Australia Federal Government released hundreds of billions of dollars in assistance in keeping both the economy and society in Australia protected from the effects of the virus and the downturn in the economy.
States and Territories also release hundreds of millions of dollars in grants and assistance for both small business, tradespersons, tenants and the like. All sectors of government targeted the most vulnerable in the community and as a whole Australia has been able to weather the effects this catastrophic pandemic has had, around the world.
SkillSelect Visa Applicants can avail of these protections and grants once they have secured permanent residency and have secured full-time employment in Australia. In fact, the Department of Home Affairs has made is easier to travel to Australia once your permanent visa has been granted by extending your entry requirement from six (6) months to some instances, for twelve (12) months.
Whether you are single or married, have a relative in Australia or not, have a qualification from a Philippine university, have at least 1 year work experience depending on the assessing authorities’ requirements, less than forty five years of age, can pass the English test and medical examination, then Jose suggests you send your UPDATED RESUME ahead on-line, have yourselves properly assessed under the current Schedule 6D of the Migration Act of 1958, and acquire a ‘written prospect of success’ in your particular permanent SkillSelect Visa Application to Australia from the Philippines.
Be part of this life changing, career enhancing program offered by the Australian Federal Government, and contribute and enjoy the fruits of your labour more in a country that understand that protecting and encouraging its citizens is what government are meant to be doing.
Thank you and MABUHAY!
