    Saan ka ba nagstart ng count mo ng 4 years towards don sa req for citizenship? Your count should be from the initial entry not when ur visa was granted. If naginitial entry ka lang for few days tapos umuwi ka muna for 6 mos, then counted na yan towards the 4 years citz req at need mo to provide PCC.

    @J_Oz
    1. Wala tayong National ID card so leave it blank.
    2. Yes, you can use the LRN as the ref no.

    @fgs noted sir.

    Additional question pa uli haha.

    1. Need ba ilagay lahat ng travel outside australia since turning 18 or only those after ma grant ang PR visa?

    2. Need ba ilagay details lahat ng immediate family: parents, siblings dun sa section na yun kahit di sila kasama sa application(confirm ko lang kahit nailagay ko na)
