Aside from that, ACS is the assessing body of IT and they require at least 2 yrs of work experience para magkaroon ka ng positive assessment.
Try to familiarize yourself first sa PR pathway bago kayo magdecide ng SV. unless kung studies lang yung habol nyo or kung meron na kayo kakilala na magssponsor sa knya after ng studies nya.
