    @danyan2001us thankyou sir, but masteral yata ung accounting nyo?. kamusta ang studies dyan sir, madugo ba? sunugan ng kilay?. kaya isabay ang work? thankyou so much.
    yong binabanggit ko ay para sa bachelors yon...yong sa masters ni mrs ay 9,000 per semester pero unlimited work rights naman ako ng time na un kaya bawi lang hehe

    @danyan2001us Kuya Dan, upon arrival there sa Australia, what are the things we need to do? Get a tax number, visit the uni? go to immigration office? Hehe, I heard, all can be done online na daw, meaning no personal appearance sa mga offices. Is this true?

    @agentKams no, i did not declare her as my dependent. my CO requested for additional prof of funds sis kasi hindi nga umabot yong show money ko. got time depo of 33k plus. my CO requested for 36k plus. and i was given 14 days to comply the additional req. :(((( :(((
    tinanong ko to sa agent ko sa IDP if pwede ba na hindi ko idedeclare na dependent yung anak ko she told na that will considered fraud so kahit na she's not going with you, you have to declare all your dependents for showmoney computation.

    @enzo12 hi. Since we are not native English soeaking country we still need english test to prove that we are competent. Most probably ang gagawin sayo magEngliah course ka muna before you actual course and that is additional fee as well.

    ang binanggit ko na 2 year study requirement ay yan ang requirement for anybody to be able to apply for permanent residency...if less than dyan ang schooling mo ay hindi ka qualified.....

    @traveltart Hi just a suggestion lang, seek help from IDP. It's free! :) I actually thought it's better to DIY, but I ended up availing the service of IDP. Buti na lang at free pa rin as per uni endorsement. So, I would suggest na it's better that someone is guiding you pa rin sa application. Hanggang nasa Australia ka na, they would assist you pa rin and I believe even post-study programs rin.

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
