@teachjenny.. Hello po I'm a newbie here. I dont know much how to apply for PR in AU kace napagtuunan ko dati is sa Canada. But i got interested lately sa AU ask ko lng po kapag kumuha ng any advanced diploma course sa Envirotech after you finished the course then mag work ng 1 year eligible na ba to apply for PR?
Another question pa po..Saka any course po ba na tinapos dito sa Phils pede mag apply to study Early Childhood Education kahit hindi bachelor? Pacencya na po wala po kce ako idea how to apply sa AU..
Here's my email address baka po pde may mag explain.. [email protected]
Maraming Salamat po and God Bless us all..
