    i did try last night to practise for the listening...so frustrated coz i missed some numbers for the correct answers. i decided not to finish it coz got discouraged for the 6 blanks I left unanswered. i wanted to rewind the audio but it would be cheating and if i would continue it, it was still useless coz i got already 6 blanks without answers. my goal is to at least get 5 mistakes ONLY for me to get band 8 in listening. That's my minimum requirement. grrrrrr.....whats so frustrating is i listen carefully, waiting for that clue then little did i know, it was the end of the audio.whaaaatttt!? hmmmmm

    Hello @LittleFinger! Tama I submitted na nga EOI with 65 pts Systems Analyst. Thinking of retaking to target band 8 and gain additional points. Malapit na kasi ma reach ceiling ng 261112 kaya they are inviting those with higher points.

    You think this option is ok? Or better wait for July when the ceiling quita refreshes?

    @key_ren, In my opinion, kung may budget ka naman, why not go for it. Mahirap mag wait ng walang kasiguruhan. Its like saying "bahala na". You should do whatever you can para ikaw ang "in control" sa situation. Marami kasing pwedeng mangyari sa July. Pwede matanggal ang job mo sa SOL list. Pwede rin sila mag higpit.

    @hopeful_mea hi sis..maybe you can try nalang to search for international forum about canada immigration but once I find any helpful sites, i'll let ya know. Also, with regards to your message, I think canada fsw program requires general ielts so i think they will not accept your acad result..

    @RyanJay thanks sa opinion sir. Yan din nga iniisip namin, we are willing to wait naman until July pra makapagrefresh ng slots but the risk na baka maghigpit sila and matanggal totally yung job code SOL, jan ako hindi ready.

    May other options naman ako, like pareview to a diff anzsco code, mejo flexible kasi role ko sa work. Mas expensive na option nga lang ito than IELTS.

    Will pray for this, sana ma enlighten ako ano talaga dapat gawin. :)
