Kasi if so, ibig sabihin okay ang delivery ng sulat sa area ninyo… so most likely hindi nawala yung Outcome Letter mo… baka natagalan lang talaga.
Sa case ko kasi, lahat ng letter na pinadala ng EA wala akong natanggap.. its either nawala, or nadedeliver ng kartero sa ibang lugar…

Ordinary Mail lang yung pinapadala ng EA kaya walang reference or way ang Post Office na malaman kung nasaan na yun... Ginawa ko na rin yan dati, kinausap ko yung postmaster namin, tinulungan naman ako hanapin kaso wala rin naman sila magagawa kung walang traceability yung sulat..

So it means kapag nakapasa sa assessment, engineer status ka na sa Aus? (sorry... I'm just starting to gather information).
Meron po kasi ako na isang 6-month work experience sa isang superduper maliit na local company sa Pinas and I dont know if existing pa yung company na yun. But I do have my COE's on all work exp that I have just worried for their verification. Upon reading immigration information resources, I'm anticipating that I will need that work experience period to earn more points by the time I planned on lodging EOI. Please enlighten me fellas.
Maraming Salamat.

- magbibigay ka po ng mga school credentials at proofs of employment plus yung CDR (competency demonstration report)
Pag na assess engineer status na?
- for degree yes.
- for work experience, recommendation lang si EA, ang final say is DIBP.
Meron ako similar case sayo, yung half nung experience ko nasa isang company tapos yung company na yun e sarado na tsaka sa pinas lang yun. di masiyado kilala. ok naman yung naging assessment ko.

panu po pala yung 3 career episodes? per company ba yun? kahit gaano kaikli lang duration po dun sa isang company? ... lets say for example 3rd company mo pa lang sa tanan nang life... then halos 2 months ka palang sa new company nung nagpa-assess ka.. so yun na po yung 3rd episode nang career.. just wondering po.. thanks
@thatbadguy see this link. This is vital. We need to fulfill this before lodging EOI (IELTS result is also a requirement of EA assessment)

About the 3 Career Episodes, you can present an event from your Work Experience, a Position or Assignment that you occupy or performed, even a School Work that you did from the University… pwede kahit yung 3 Career Episodes mo galing lang sa iisang work experience…
It doesn’t matter kahit gaano kaigsi yung event.. kahit 1 week lang na issue or problem sa work na na-resolve mo using your technical skills, or maigsing project that you handled na na-apply mo yung engineering knowledge mo…
Ang Key is for you to be able to present and meet all the Competency Elements na required for the Skill Level you want to achieve (e.g. Professional Engineer, Technologist, etc…)
Review mo mabuti yung EA MSA booklet.. yan yung first step para maintindihan mo yung buong process.... Goodluck!

Yup, I will review again the material carefully. Medyo naexcite lang ako mag-tanung sa thread na ito.. ahahaha.. iba parin magtanung sa mga experienced na..B-)
pero na confused po lang talaga ako sa assessment nang EA at DIBP. Yun pala independent sila from each other. Akala ko po kasi i-endorse nang EA yung assessment to DIBP then yun na yung i-honor nang DIBP. Kaya nalito ako dun sa working exp. part. Pero medyo nagkakalinaw na sa akin yung process. Thanks po ulit sir.
@RED thank you sa mga info.

Also, don’t take the “3 Career Episodes” literally, it only meant, 3 Episodes actually… Like in my case I wrote the 3 Episodes… 2 Episodes from my 1st company, 1 Episode from my 2nd company..

Pero after nya mag-lodge per assessment ng DIBP, mas aligned yung work experience nya with another occupation which is not in the SOL.. thus the visa was denied
