Ask ko lang kung pwede ako makahingi ng format ng subject description mo. Yung mga accounting subjects lang ba pinagawan mo? 150 pesos kasi isang subject. Dumaan din pala ako sa college of accountancy kanina and nag gagawa naman daw sila ng course syllabus pero 100 per subject lang. PUP manila din ako by the way. Thanks

Also, you check the forum under General Skill Migration VISA. You have to religiously read it para may idea ka how it works. Halos lahat kami din naman noong una as in zero knowledge then. Tiyaga tiyaga lang din sa pagbabasa. Or you can also check the DIBP website for more details.

1. for EOI (Expression of Interest) they will accept both IELTS GT or ACAD. However, for our assessing body (either CPAA, ICA, IPA) they will only accept IELTS ACAD with 7 in all components. They will also accept other english test like TOEFL, CAE, PTE ACAD.
So IELTS ACAD will do na for the assessing body's english requirement and for IEO.
2. if we are only talking about lodging your EOI your 6.5 writing score in IELTS GT is still acceptable. But reiterate ko lang, before you lodge your EOI dapat tapos ka ng magpa-assess.
3. some are using certification they obtain from their respective schools that they are using english as a medium of instruction.
4. if under state sponsorship (under Visa 190), some are requiring settlement of funds. you may check it with the state website for their specific requirements.

If ung naasess ng ICAA na work experience ko is until Jan2016 lang (kasi that month ako nagpaassess) pero I'm still working sa same organization at hndi ako nagresign, dapat ba walang end date ung work experience ko or mas ok na until lng dun sa date as per the assessment of ICAA? Parang nasagot na ito before but concerned lang dn kasi ako bec 4yrs ung work experience ko until Jan2016 (5pts) so kahit na ilagay ko na up to present, hndi nman magbabago kung claimed points ko. Hndi po pa magkakaproblem if magkaiba ung work dates na ilalagay ko sa EOI versus sa assessment results ni ICAA? Mas ok ba na lagyan ko nlang ng end date para same sa assessment ng iCAA? I hope po may makasagot, thanks in advance!
