@rich88 diskarte lang pre. hingi ka ng COE pag asa good mood yung HR or boss mo. sisiw lang sa kanila yan, wala man 5 minutes yung pag pirma, since same desc lang naman.

rich88

@pinoycoder yeah, humahanap pa ako ng tamang timing. Nasa Manila kasi ung manager ko tapos ako nasa ibang bansa kaya ang hirap rin chempohan. Baka ipasa ko nlng yung existing CoE ko for re-assessment tutal hindi naman ako madadagdagan ng points kahit i-claim ko experience until June if I decide to go for re-assessment.

@guenb meron namang reference date sa CoE ko tpos nakasulat rin naman na up to date. Nag email na rin pala ako sa ACS and they responded na kung "up to date" ang nilagay mo, gagawin nilang end date yung reference date sa taas ng letter. Sana makatulong sa ibang taong may same question tong info na to

@Noodles12 , I think pwede naman affidavit kung walang employee reference. I have a friend na ganun ang ginawa, nasa AU na sya ngayon. 189 Visa nya, Software Developer. Nakalagay sa Affidavit nya ung date from and to ng work nya, duties nya sa work tapos ang nakapirma ung teammate nya na masmataas ang Level/Position sa kanya. Then pina-notary nya sa Pinas.

@rich88 Oo nga eh. Waiting game lang talaga ngayon kasi end of fiscal year tapos yung occupations pa natin dami applicants. Malakas kutob ko sa July uulan ng ITA lalo na sa mga waiting for a few weeks na.

rich88

@chewychewbacca sana nga mag dilang anghel ka good luck sa atin..

guenb

@shielalables just curious why didn't you wait one more month para exact 4years?

shielalables

@guenb may hinahabol kami na timeline and since hindi pa naman ako makakakuha ng points sa experience, nagpa assess nalang din kami para makalodge ng eoi asap

thisisme1

phil1122

hello po sa lahat, ask ko lang regarding sa COE for past employment..kelangan bang currently employed ung pipirma na dating mong manager? kasi ung dati kong manager, not employed na dun sa dati namen company. pumayag naman siya mag sign, then gumawa ako ng company letterhead, kinopya ko ung format ng HR letterhead namen, then pinirmahan ng dati kong boss. ok ba ung ganitong approach or mag baback track ang ACS kung currently employed pa ung signatory? salamat po sa sasagot!

guenb

@haunter08 hingi ka na lang kaya COE with job description sa HR ng dating company mo. Give them your sample para sila na mg issue ng coe, no complications pa

Hello Everyone,

Just received my ACS assessment today, Positive Assessment. AQF Bachelor Degree (2yrs. deduction).

Skill Level Requirement Met Date: October 2013
Company A: 10/11 - 01/15 (3yrs 3mths)
Company B: 03/15 - 05/16 (1yrs 2mths)

Here's my concern:
1. If my ITA is Oct 2016 - am I eligible for 5pts for Skilled Employment for as long as I'm with Company B?
2. I'm jobless 02/15, shall I add 1 month to meet the 3yrs skilled employment (to be eligible for 5pts)?

Thanks everyone!

guenb

@SAP_Melaka eligible for skilled employment is after your Skill Level Requirement Met Date, so correct counting is:
10/11-10/13 (part of acs requirement, not counted)
Company A: 11/13-01/15 - 1YR 2MOs
Company B: 03/15-01/17 - 1YR 10MOs
You need to be working until Jan2017 to get that 5points.

SAP_Melaka

@guenb Thank you! Clear now

wingleaf

@vylette - i hope AQF Bachelor din ako, an im a Computer science graduate..

I had my certificates authenticated and it says "Authenticated by" instead of "Certified true copy of the Original". Wala daw kasi silang ganung stamp. Ok lang ba yun? Sa city hall legal office ako nagpa authenticate.

@gemini hmmmm, I'm not sure sa cases ng iba pero CTC ung nakalagay din sa akin. If you're in NCR, you can go to Ayala may mura dung nag-CTC 20pesos lang, legit

kittykitkat18

@gemini lam ko kasi dpat certified true copy..nagdala ka ba ng original and xerox copy?? Kasi ung xerox copy and stamp ng certified true copy

SAP_Melaka

Hello guys,

For EOI, anong date yung lalagay ko for Employment? Yung actual start date or yung Skill Level Requirement Met Date? Since meron sa EOI na tick if related sa skills?

Skill Level Requirement Met Date: October 2013

Duration of employment:
Company A: 10/11 - 01/15 (3yrs 3mths)
Company B: 03/15 - 05/16 (1yrs 2mths)

So for company A, should be Nov. 2013 lagay ko for EOI or Oct. 2011?
Company B, no concerns as this is my current employer.

Thanks a lot!

gemini

@psalms5110 and @kittykitkat18
thanks, nagpa certified true copy na lang ako ulit. ang mahal dito sa probinsya, ah. 50 pesos. dyan sa NCR pala 20 lang.

Paano ifill up sa online application ang "experience"?
For example in my case, sa isang company may 2-3 roles.
Pero isa lang ang reference letter per company. Nakaindicate doon ang different roles pero magkakahalo na ang job description. Parang ganito:

She held the ff. positions:
1. Position 1 - From date - To date
2. Position 2 - From date - To date
3. Position 3 - From date - To date
During her stay, these were the duties and responsibilities she performed:
1. Duty 1
2. Duty 2

Sa ACS online app, pagdating sa "relevant experience" 3x ako mag eenter? Pero same attachment lang kasi isa lang certification?

TIA.

@rich88 Nakakuha ka na invite for your occupation?
Napuno na yung ceiling ng Software and Applications Programmer. Sana mainvite na ako sa July.

chewychewbacca

@rich88 Sa July yung refresh ng fiscal ear so hopeful ako na makakuha ng invite. Hindi na ako makafocus sa office. Haha

gemini

Ok, I entered separate experiences for different roles and just used the same reference letters. Anyway, I paid via Mastercard. Good thing there's an e-receipt.

rich88

@chewychewbacca nope... wala pang email. I'm not sure if kasama ba ang subclass 190 sa occupation ceilings. As far as I know, for 189 lang yun..

Hope someone more experienced than us can clarify.

chewychewbacca

@rich88 Sana mainvite na tayo parehas.

Kapit lang and dasal.
