Hello po mga master, may ask lang po ako.
Nakuha ko na yung result from TRA, and successful naman sya (thank you so much sa mga tulong nyo!). Nakalagay sa skilled date ko is December 2001, pero actually yung inaapply ko na work experience is starting December 2013 only (non-related kasi sa 342314 yung work ko before).
Now nag email back ako kay case officer and sabi ko baka may error. Nagreply sya today and sabi yun talaga yun (email below). Ang question ko is pwede ko ba talaga i-claim sa DIBP/EOI yung December 2001 (i.e. "8 years or more"), and hindi nila ibababa sa less than 5 years pag sinumbit ko yung work experience evidence ko (which only dates up to 2013) ?
Thanks
Mark
"<i class="Italic">Thank you for your enquiry to Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).
TRA includes on every successful MSA Outcome Letter a skilled employment date. This is the date that TRA has determined the applicant was first able to work in their nominated occupation as a skilled worker.
The skilled employment date may assist applicants who are applying for a points-based-visa through the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs). Home Affairs do not go back any more than the last ten years of completed employment when calculating points.
In most cases, for qualifications gained through study or apprenticeships, the date shown on the applicant’s final award or leaving certificate will be the skilled employment date.
We trust that this information is of assistance.</i>"
