once you have the positive assessment, hindi na masyadong mahigpit ang DIAC CO... some would only require basic CoE, especially kung may recognized work experience opinion together with the skills assessment...
pero ayun nga, mas maraming proof, mas less ang questions ng CO.. mas mabilis ma-approve ang visa..
