waiting din kami.. sana nga mag push na sila mag open, base sa news parang gusto na nila mag open gaya ng Singapore, once they reach 70-80% vaccinated, and learn to live with it na daw at baka mag suffer na daw ang economy nila at madami na tao suffocated sa lockdown.

Yes if you're not invited yet, mag expire siya in two years. In our case, nakapag lodge na kami, so kahit mag expire yung PTE at skills assessment namin, it's okay dahil nakalock siya on the time na nainvite kami.however, We do need to re-do our Medicals and Police clearance. Hanggang ngayun kasi wala parin kaming CO contact. So yung immiaccount ko Received parin.

sa mga taga NSW:
'We said it'd be the Monday following. So, look, it's very possible that it's the 11th of October.
'But definitely in the first or second week of October we'll get the state open.'
