    @Olrac321 hmmm, I see, Hopefully di na kayo hanapan. :) Di ko rin kasi alam kung ano basis nila with regards sa Form 80. Sa tingin ko hindi magmamatter kung related xa or not, not unless nagclaim ka ng points. Tama yung sinabi ni @se29m hindi pwedeng may gap sa 10yrs na yun, diretso lang dapat.

    @Olrac321 tingin ko, mas safe nga na ilagay na lang natin lahat nung work exp for 10yrs (sa visa application form at sa form 80).. i don't think na big issue sya (na hindi match sa EOI) kasi di naman tayo nag-claim ng points for that.. chineck ko, sa Form 80 lang naman explicitly naka-indicate na ALL.. pag quinestion ako ni CO, sasabihin ko na lang na yung pina-assess ko lang yung nailagay ko sa EOI.. baka mas questionable kung di match yung application form at yung form 80.. so mas safe kung ilagay na lang ngayon sa pareho, di na natin ma-u-update yung EOI eh hehe

    Para 'di tayo mainip lahat gawa tayo ng mga migrating checklist para before the grant wala nang surprise preparation...like:

    1.) Work resignation letter format (hehe)
    2.) How to pack your baggage the right way
    3.) Preparation for PDOS for those coming from Philippines
    4.) Prepare for CV (LinkedIn brush up)
    5.) Papano mag padespidida!
    6.) Ways to make your child productive at home - sa mga hindi na inenroll ang kids sa school

    Hello,

    My husband and I are about to lodge 190 visa this week since macocomplete na namin requirements by then. We got invited last May 24 by NSW.

    This forum has been very helpful. Thank you so much po sa lahat ng contributors. Check ko lang sana what is PDOS and is it required for all immigrants?

    Thank you :)

    @RRKJAUS good luck on your application. Please feel free to ask anyone here as all had been very helpful to all. Check their website: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/

    PDOS is pre departure orientation seminar required here in the Philippines before permanently migrating to the country of choice. In these seminar, various topics are discussed such as travel regulations, immigration procedures, cultural differences, settlement concerns, employment and social security concerns and rights and obligations of Filipino migrants.

    Those who are 12 years old and below are exempted from attending the PDOS. They must, however, be registered, even if by proxy. Children of emigrants, aged 13 to 19, are required to attend the Peer Counseling Program to help facilitate their adjustment to a new environment.

    In the case of Australia, they have every Tuesdays & Fridays as slot schedule every 2:00 - 4:00 PM. They usually provide our passports the needed PDOS sticker stamps in lieu of the former practice of putting it on the passport itself.

    Hope this one helps.

    @RRKJAUS Goodluck po. PDOS stands for pre-departure registration and orientation seminar. Required sha for all Filipino emigrants. Meron po kasi silang itatak sa passport after and then hahanapin din ng immigration officer upon departure :)
