Hello to all and everyone who replied to my previous post.
Yung totoo hindi ko talaga alam bakit. May sinend sya saken news letter and it seems ayun nga d raw tumatanggap ng act ss hanggat d updated yung list which is august 2015 whilst dito iba iba din opinion
Yung totoo di ko alam alin dito susundin kay gigi ako nakaassign e
Isa pa yang baka mamaya pg nagaugust wala na intay nanaman mageexpire na exam at certification ko.
Gusto ko na nga ipullout e ako nalang magaapply kaso nagiging publema ko na yung mga letter of commitment saka job ads saka mga iba pang letters na need isubmit
Baka meron makatulong sana may EOI na ako pero not sure ano nangyayare dun may ref number na din ako
Eto din yung itinanong ko bakit kelangan namen hintayin pero prang andun kame sa part na kelangan iupdate daw august 2015 list daw gagamitin
I haven't lost everything except my mind...

So just my 2 cents, send them an email explaining ung situation mo and I am sure they would answer your question. Siguro wag mo na lang mention na may agent ka baka sabihin eh i-ask mo na lang sa agent mo. just m 2 cents...all the best.

tama ung ginagawa mo na maghanap ng job ads kasi ung sa kin hinigan nila ulit ako ng job ads na 2-3 na lang naman di katulad ng dati ng 5-8.
ang pagkakatanda ko nung nag tanong ako dati is at least 4 weeks para since na hingan ka nila para ma consider na valid pero submit mo pa din kahit more than 4 weeks.

Hello po, ask ko lang kung may idea ko when kaya mag oopen ang Canberra or ACT? Nakalagay kasi sa website it will reopen in August 2015 once the CSOL is reassessed. Been waiting for it since July 1. Ganun pala kahirap maghintay. Tapos na ako sa lahat ng requirements, hoping na lang ako na mag open sya. Minsan naiisip ko baka di mag open this year. May ganun ba minsan na mga nangyayari? Thanks po sa mga sasagot.:)

Can anyone advise din kung pwede ba kami mag-apply for nomination kahit closed na currently ang isang occupation since wala pa naman sila updated list? Based kse sa guidelines nila, pwede mag-apply kung may job offer na. Salamat po.
