  @danyan2001us thank you for the info kuya. Would you suggest doing volunteering jobs first? Would that mean she wasn't able to find accounting related jobs for two years? May aaccounting experience po sya sa pinas? Ako wala, so it will be more challenging on my part. Still, I'm hoping for the best. Tapos kuya yung work nya starting 2014, ma count na yun as OZ experience for additional points para maPR since AR officer naman sya?

  whatever opportunity na darating sa iyo grab mo kaagad yan...oo may accounting experience siya sa pinas for 6 years pero hindi siya accountant sa atin...and yes yong present work niya ay masali na namin yon as exprience niya sa paglodge naming EOI sometime next year...

  Hello everyone! Congrats sa mga mga recent visa grants, and good luck sa mga naghihintay ng result!
  
  Sa mga prospective student visa applicants who have plans to stay/work in Australia long term, I wanna offer my 2 cents. When you are choosing the course that you will study, try to think of the future. If possible, make sure na may path to potential PR visa ang ang kukunin nyong course. Ang tendency kasi ng ilan is kung ano lang ang mura at basta makapasok lang sa Australia at makapagpart-time jobs, go na. Maraming kumukuha ng Management courses, for example, pero after that, enrol uli ng panibagong course - additional gastos at time na naman. Ang akin kasi is mamumuhuhan ka na rin lang ng time at pera (na kadalasan ay hinihiram lang din natin, as in my case), eh di i-make sure na din natin na yung aaralin natin ay magbibigay sa atin ng pagkakataon na makapag-apply ng PR. Yun lang po.

  Good evening po. Mag-apply po ako sana ng student visa soon. Kaso my problem po ako and hindi ko din alam kung problem talaga. Yung ate ko po na nasa Australia na ang mag sponsor sa akin, citizen na din po sya. Ngayon po, mag-apply sya ng back to back (student) loan dito sa Pilipinas para sa akin then i-time deposit po iyon. Kaso un mga banko na napagtanungan ko halos ay ayaw pumayag kung hindi sya magloan ng personal. Good thing po ay may nakita po kami na banko sa Baguio at payag sila na makapagloan un sister ko kahit nasa Australia sya. Hinihingian lang po sya ng Gov ID at birth cert nya and okay lang kahit ako na magprocess dito. Ang tanong ko po ay,
  
  Okay lang ba yun? Hindi ba yun bubusisiin ng embassy bakit nakapagloan sister ko kahit hindi na personal? Kailangan ko pa ba i-justify un? O wala naman problema?
