Question po:
Meron ba same sa case ko na during the eoi yong related occupations lang nilagay nyo?
Sa immiaccount kasi ilagay mo dapat ang jobs mo for the past 10 years. Tapos magclick ka lang kung magclaim ka ng points sa job nato.
Ok lang kaya na sa EOI ko yong tatlong companies lang nilagay ko na makakuha ako ng points. Tapos sa immiaccount ilalagay ko na lahat ung mga jobs ko in tha past 10 years?
Any idea?
