@batman Sa pte account po dun meron na "send scores" above nung view score ata yun sa right side. I checked the list of institutions, just choose Australia po for the location then type CPA tapos lalabas yung "CPA Australia - All Programs - All Programs". The registered location is Southbank, VIC, AUS. I checked CPAA website, same address nga ung head office address nila so I guess this is where you should send your PTE-A scores po.

If you love warm weather ang beaches, Sydney. Melbourne is always rainy, there's like 4 seasons in a day haha. If you're an outgoing person who loves being in a rush (like Manila-ish) definitely Syndey. I'm more of a loner so I like Melbourne. And they are very artistic there, the taste of music and style is more independent. Here in Sydney, most people, they follow the mainstream. IMO, food is also a bit better in Melbourne but still expensive

One more thing dun sa NBI thread, si Cassey siningil 1500 para marelease same day. Hindi sila nagbayad. Kurakot! Kita daw kasi nila blue form so from overseas.

Nung nagsubmit ako last year hindi ko man binalik sa consulate, na-approve naman 485 visa ko. Although this time PR kasi baka mas strict?
Kasi papaFedex Express ko kay mama, 3000PHP para makuha ko by Monday at ibalik sa consulate dito. Eh kung pwedeng scan nalang, sayang yung pera, ang mahal.

Yung 100, hinayaan ko na lang, inisip ko na lang na tumapon kape ko. Kaya pala ayaw nilang iwanan sa reception lang kasi maniningil silang 100 kasi nakalagay dun sa sobre na Australia Post. nakakabanas lang talaga.
