yes "declare" it but do not "claim" points for it as relevant skilled experience since you are unable to provide supporting docs.
all the best to you.

I don’t see why you should omit experiences just because you can’t satisfy supporting documents for it. You just don’t have to claim the experience. EA not immigration won’t question at all why you’re not claiming them.

Hello po. Regarding sa EA application, need po bang i-apply din ang RSEA or yun lang standard MSA assessment lang po?

rsea is optional
pros & con
pros
-case officers (CO), who assess your visa application, accepts almost whatever RSEA outcome
so CO may not ask further about your claimed point on relevant skilled experience (RSE)
cons
-MAY give you less years of RSE, though not always happening.
-additional cost

my opinion,
if you have money AND total points if not too critical, go RSEA, it will give you convenience and peace of mind.
now, if you are confident of your RSE AND you can provide sufficient supporting docs AND you have limited funds, you may opt not to take RSEA.
ALL THE BEST TO YOU.

Hi. Sorry po sa late reply dahil naging busy sa work. Linawin ko lang po yung issue hehehe.
Main pong problem kasi is ayaw akong bigyan ng employment letter ng 2 previous companies ko. Yung sa Makati, di daw nag-iissue yung office ng ganun na letter. Yung sa Singapore naman, may topak lang talaga dati kong boss kaya ako umalis hahaha.
Ngayon, based sa EA requirements, pwede ang direct supervisor na mag sign. Okay po kasi mga supervisor ko dati na mag-sign. Problema lang nun pag tumawag ang EA sa office tapos tinanong about sa letter na yun, pwedeng sabihin ng company na wala silang binigay na letter, therefore lalabas na fradulent yung letter na na-submit ko.
Anyway, sinabi ko na sa agent ko na forego nalang itong dalawang sakit sa ulo na companies na ito at okay na sakin ang zero points for employment. 2.75 years total lang lalabas. Wala din kung mag mamakaawa ako sakanila, di uusad application ko. Nasend ko na pala sa EA yung documents ko. First week ng January lalabas siguro dahil naka express.
Okay na sigurong sacrifice nalang yung points ngayon. Mag 491 visa nalang muna kung papalarin. It is what it is. Parang mobile legends lang yan, adjust nalang sa team mates tapos kahit lugi sa una, babawi nalang sa huli haha.

I think you are over analysing things. I’m not quite sure why you would say it’s fraudulent when it’s actually written by the direct supervisor? You would need to just follow the exact details as listed on the MSA guideline.
If they are to verify, they will have to verify the existence of the person who wrote the letter and the position as well as your position. If they all match your documents, why would it then be fraudulent?
You mentioned you have an agent. I am surprised you are discussing such matter in this forum when your agent can best guide you on what you really need to do. I am an agent myself and this would be one of the things I would clarify with my client in case of confusion. It isn’t a complicated situation.

1) Please document yung hindi pagpayag na bigyan ka ng reference letter thru email.
2) Pwede ang direct supervisor, which I did, and following all the needed requirements as per laterst EA Handbook and Let hin sign. Paano magiging fraudulent yun, sa company letter head naman ito nakadocument.
3) Tatawag naman ang EA, based dun sa contact number ang supervisor mo and based dun sa letter head to verify. (Pwede silang tumawag randomly).

Hello. Sir papano po naman humingi ng reference letter sa supervisor ko na resigned na sa dati namin company? Willing sya mag sign pero Wala na po sya sa company. Pwede po ba sa kanya magpa sign or dapat sa HR? Mahirap ko kasi makakuha ng reference letter sa previous company ko pag galing sa HR. Kung pede po sa supervisor, ok lng po ba na gumamit sya ng letterhead sa previous company na hnd na sya current na employee? SALAMAT PO

Don't do that sir, most likely ma ban ka lang. yang mga ganyang services copy paste, template lang gamit. Madedetect ng EA na plagiarized yung papel mo. Do it yourself and since it's your work experience. Tanong ka lang sir ng tips on structures and format.

Mas madali kung magbase ka sa summary while doing your CDR para minsanan. Yung mga nilagay ko kasing unang statements sa CDR ko hindi pumapasok sa summary.

Question po mga mam/sir. May 2 years experience po ako as project engineer in the government handling infrastructure projects. Tasks are to oversee the construction of our contractor, scheduling, approval of variations, billings, close out. Pero after that I shifted careers as a project administrator mainly tasked on assisting government agencies in the development of their infrastructure projects. Taga coordinate po ako with PMs, technical consultants, supervisors and clients para mabuo yung project concept or feasibility studies ng clients namin. I did that for 3 years. Ngayon po di ko na alam if sa EA ba ako magpapaassess for the skilled visa. Di ko po alam if tutugma pa din sya sa mga occupation na nakalist sa EA. I'm a Civil engineer graduate with masters in environmental engineering.

Yes po if you want to be assesses as CE.
You can do din po a project administrator assessment with VetAssess. Problem is wala po siya sa skill list ngayon sa NSW (not sure po sa ibang states). But, before the pandemic medyoo maluwag po ung invitations for this occupation.
