Subject: UnRELIABLE recruitment agency for nurses to New Zealand

To all nurses who have plans to go to New Zealand, beware of the agency in the Philippines that recruit nurses to deploy to NZ. They say they’re RELIABLE but actually they’re NOT. Yes, it’s true that they were able to send us here in NZ then endorsed us to  another agency based in NZ. The agency based in NZ become my principal, the one that financed my competency course (but later on I need to pay with interest of  4% per month).

This agency in Manila calling itself  “reliable� initially told us to prepare for P150,000.00 for the placement fee. This was what must happen but when all my papers were ready and my visa was released, the agency changed its fee and collected P180,000.00 instead. What for a shocking thing to find out! I tried to question the sudden increase, but the woman in charged contested that it was peak season and the fare went high. I had no choice since my papers were ready already. After all the waiting and anxieties I had been into, I couldn’t afford not to go at that time.

In short, I paid the huge amount. Another evil doing happened as cursed by this pseudo “reliable agency.� WE CANNOT AVAIL OUR RETURN TICKET! Horrible right? The e-ticket issued a roundtrip ticket and for heaven’s sake I paid for that! But the asshole woman told me that I couldn’t avail that for a particular reason. A reason she couldn’t give. I tried to question that but she sarcastically snapped if I wanted to leave or not since I had so many questions. That shot me to zip my mouth. AND THIS HAPPENED 2DAYS BEFORE OUR DEPARTURE.

I  am writing all of this things because truly I become a victim here. And I am writing this to warn all those hopeful nurses who want to go to NZ. Please do not let yourselves be persuaded by the agency’s sweet words and pledges. My God! THEY DID NOT EVEN GAVE ME AN OFFICIAL RECEIPT. They just usually give acknowledgement receipt. Now, where’s the BIR? Are they doing their job?

They tricked us! All of us nurses!

I did and paid all my papers. From the needed authentication in Malacanang up to Embassy of  NZ in Ayala. I paid for my medical exam. What this agency had done was the visa processing and the one-way ticket. That’s all!!!

Nurses, if you want to go here in NZ, do not go to this agency or even immigration consultancy. As a victim of a deceitful act done by this agency, I am advising you to do your own processing and job application online to the school where you want to do your competency, etc.  

Ito lang ang dapat mong magastos approx sa Pilipinas:

Competency reg. fee.                         P 14,000 ( dating P7000  lang)               

Processing of papers                                  4,000                          
(Malacanang, Embassy of NZ)

Medical exam                                          10,000

*Other lab exam school                           13,000                  
might be requested by the school                        

Airfare:                                         60,000  roundtrip ticket

Terminal fee                                                  550

(Excess baggage is US$ 27/kg)

                                                            P101,550

 *This is just assumed if you’ll be studying in Manukau Institute but if in other school, it’ll be approx. P3500.  UNITECH, Henderson is much cheaper.

Kung mag-aapply ka direkta sa hospital, kailangan mong i-shoulder ang mga sumusunod:

*Competency course                                         NZ$ 4,300      (P 142,000)

**Accomodation (backpackers/hostel)                       1,100   for 2 months

***Transpo from airport to hostel                                 200

Expenses/food                                                           1,500

Others/laboratory if ever                                               100  &! nbsp;  

                                                                                 7,100   (P 234,300)

 Plus NZ$ 280 for your working visa, IRD, variations

Now if you cannot afford the course, transpo, accomodation, might as well get a principal sponsor. NEVER APPLY ON ANY IMMIGRATION CONSULTANCY OR RECRUITMENT AGENCY IN OUR COUNTRY. Dahil ang principal sponsor LANG ang TANGING gagawa lahat for you. Sila ang maglo-loan sa’yo (of course may interest), magsusundo, maghahanap ng placement mo at maghahatid sa’yo kung saan ka titira near your work, mag-aasikaso ng change status ng visa mo from visiting visa to working visa at para makakuha ka ng working permit at variations (ito yung pwede kang mag-dble job). At hindi ang mga pesteng recruitment agency na ‘yan sa Pinas.

I am just a concerned Filipino na nagbabakasakali sa buhay at walang balak manggago ng kapwa ko, mapa-Pinoy o Puti. Sana matulungan kayo ng blog na ito.
