@danyan2001us just wondering, if she was an accounting grad, bat di pa siya dumiretso nag-apply for a skilled visa? for me, since I am not an accounting graduate, my plan is to take an undergrad course in accounting. Yun nga lang, my wife won't be able to work unlimited hours

@agentKams @danyan2001us by checking the masters courses unis offer, you can enroll even if you were not an accounting grad. kala ko kasi before hindi siya pwede. however, will a masters degree in accounting be enough to apply for a skilled visa even if you didn't have a bachelor's degree in accounting?
@iheartyouboy thanks for giving me tips if ever, my plan is to start July 2015. you're right kelangan magipon muna. so does that mean you currently have two jobs aside from your studies? kaya naman ijuggle lahat?

@danyan2001us wow november na this year, balitaan mo kami how your pr application will go ung mga masters of professional accounting na nakita ko, 2 years lahat ang length of study and they accept non-accounting grads so at least hindi na siya problem. what i need to know next is if having a non-accounting undergrad + masters in professional accounting will make me eligible to apply for pr as accountant. will do more research and ask more inquiries

If your lodging many weeks or months in advance, you can do your labs beforehand. Just do a my health declarations form, and they will issue your own HAP id. Having two HAP ids while on the visa processing stage, and still waiting for the results, might delay your application cause they have to link the right HAP id with your account.
