I was a bit apprehensive at first to file my application since medyo naguguluhan ako sa ibig sabihin ng "experience in closely related occupation". Kasi lahat ng experience ko ay as an Industrial Pharmacist but my nominated occupation is retail pharmacist. However, wala naman palang kaso to sa DIAC since nasa umbrella or same ANZSCO group ang industrial pharmacist and retail pharmacist so "closely related " sila. I took the gamble and it all paid off.
Thank you thank you sa lahat ng naitulong nyo. 🙂 God Bless you all!!!
