Hi everyone,
Just want to confirm...
Yun po ba docs na pinasa ninyo sa RDA application are also the ones included in the Skills Assessment (i.e. COE, Letters of Reference, Tax Records, SSS, Payslip, etc.)?
I mean, on top of the NSW Email, Skills Assessment report and English Test.
Thank you

@nashmacoy101 @rjregencia @clim @Ghabreal hello mga Sir tanong ko lang kung lahat kayo EOI lang ginawa para sa 491 application at walang ROI pero may pre-invite pa din na nareceive? Nalilito kasi ko sa proseso talaga ng 491 kahit nag-BR na ko. Bale nung Apr 12 kasi lumabas positive EA assessment ko kaya nagawa ko na EOI ko para sa 189 at 190. Yung 491, nakadraft palang kasi natatakot ako isubmit baka hanapan ako ROI tapos nabasa ko eh deadline pala submission ng ROI nung March 2022 pa para sa NSW. Iniisip ko baka marefuse lang sa dulo pag may kulang ako. Baka may pwede kayo i-advice Sir. Salamat.

hello, may question po ako tungkol sa pag-fill out ng application form. kapag hiningi ba ang evidence of employment, yung statement of service (na sinend natin sa vetassess) ba ang kailangan isend, i.e. yung dates deemed skill from the assessing body ang kailangan i-reflect sa duration of employment when filling out forms?
magkaiba kasi yung duration na naka-reflect sa actual COE ko for one of my employers. this is my employer when i lodged my assessment, so the dates deemed skill show around this time. then a few months after my assessment, saka ako na-separate from this employer that is why the actual COE shows a different and later end date. would this be confusing if i-send ko sa application yung actual COE?
thanks in advance sa makakasagot. good day, everyone!

you're still working sa company as of now? if yes put present and suggest ko if hindi follow mo dates ng COE mo to avoid confusion on their part.

Hello po. Nagsend po ako ng application for nomination sa RDA far south coast. May question lang po sana ako, nagkamali po ako sa pag fill ng application form ko, under po sa employer and nailagay ko po ay ex. Provincial health office of Cavite instead of pronvicial government of Cavite. So hindi na po sya tumugma sa EOI ko. Magiging factor po ba ito for refusal? Huhu 🥹🥹

Passport, birth certificate, Diploma, TOR, PTE score report, Valid Skills assessment, Updated COE, SSS contribution, Pagibig contribution, PhilHealth Contribution, ITR, Payslips, proof of payment and yung 491 Form stream 3 po. Tapos di ko po linagyan ng check mark yung proof of address, i think for onshore yun.
