Hi @bourne. Mali yung company name. I was so careless, I did not check when I submitted my COE, na-print pala on the letterhead of another company(within the same group). Napansin ko lang when I received the outcome letter. But it was too late, bayad ulit for update. Lesson learned, need to check carefully all docs to be submitted. Good luck din sa application mo, malapit na grant mo.

Actually, may pinabago din ako sa skills assessment result letter ko. Pero sila (ACS) ang nagkamali. Mali ang nalagay nilang country (of employment). Ang ginawa ko, nag-email lang ako sa ACS at sinabi ko yung mali. Nagreply sila agad with the updated/corrected skills assessement (hindi nagchange ang date).
Ilan points mo sa english exam if may i ask? @jillpot
