"The following employment after August 2009 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
skilled level and relevant to 261312 (Developer Programmer) of the ANZSCO Code."
Meron na akong invite last Oct 11 lang. Ang question ko po is ang nilagay ko kasi noon sa EOI eh Aug 2007 ang start ko, hindi Aug 2009. Either way 8+ years parin naman siya (15pts). Magiging kaso po ba yun o hindi? Magreapply nalang ba ako ng EOI ulit? Pano na ang invite ko?
Thanks!

James 5:7-8 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

No, documents do not need to be certified for BSMQ, however they do need to be certified when lodging your visa application with the Department of Home Affairs.
kasi po ang sb hnd n dw kelangan png notarized and mga isusubmit. Tas ngyn yan po nbsa ko. Nlito npo ako. Certified meaning original? O notarized?
Salamat po in advance.
