Question po: if magpapa-assess po ako sa EA for RSEA, mas ok po ba na magsama po ako ng career episode from each company where I have worked? Or pwede po na dalawang career episode ay galing sa isang company lang tapos yung isang company po ay hindi ko gagawan ng career episode pero isasama ko pa rin sa RSEA like magpprovide lang po ako ng primary and secondary docs for that company? At yung pangatlo pong career episode ay galing sa thesis nung undergrad. Thank you po, sana may makapansin.

Hi guys so I graduated with a degree in ECE at a section 1 school in the Philippines. The thing is I specialized in Network Engineering, which is being assessed by ACS since ICT related siya. Around 6 months lang ung work experience ko sa IT Network related na job. I asked around in the ACS forum and sabi nila very slim lang ung chance ko mapasa ung assessment since wala pang 2 years ang offshore experience ko but a fellow ECE graduate said that they got a positive skill assessment sa EA as a fresh ECE graduate back in 2017. I wanted to ask if that's still the case today and madali lang mapasa ung skills assessment? I also didn't take the board exam if that matters.
I also checked the recent invitations last October 6 and apparently they let in Electronics Engineers with scores as low as 65 points. I checked mine and I can apply with 70 points, do you guys think it's worth applying for with 0 work experience in the Electronics field? Or malaking chance na mareject ako since I never worked as an actual Electronics Engineer in the Philippines?

Bro ako uli sasagot HAHAHA
Di din ako nagboards pero nagkaroon ako positive assessment so goods ka sa part na yan
Walang paki ang immi kung may exp ka o wala, they only care if you reach the pts required. Personally nag SV ako years ago just to raise pts to be high enough para maka apply ng PR. Nowadays very advantageous sa offshore na ang baba na ng pts required. Samantalahin mo tong timeframe na to, super higpit nila for the last 5 yrs. Ngayong Oct lang nag invite ng 65 pts ulit, last time it was that low was back in 2017. I know because I was too young for the points system back then lol.

Hello,
From SSS website - Employment history nagprint lang po ako nung screen showing lahat ng employers. Bakit po kaya ganito ang hinihingi sakin ng EA wala naman second page dun sa SSS? Meron pa ba ibang detailed employment summary ang SSS website?

Hello po. Pwede po mag tanong if ano madalas ang additional information na nirerequire ni EA after magpasa sa kanila nung initial na mga documents like CDR?

Haha salamat, I'll look into it for a bit. Problema ko right now is ung IELTS Academic ko ay may 6.5 sa writing so di ako pwede sa proficient english (since need ko 7 across the board) so currently 60 points lang meron ako lol

Hey guys. Magandang araw sa lahat. Ask ko lang for some advice. I got recently invited for 189. Engineering Technologist pala ung occupation na naassess ako ng EA. Hindi na ako nakapag RSEA kasi hindi daw need as per my immig adviser. Ung work ko bale incline to Telecom Engineering bale sa Oil and gas ako. Nagclaim ako ng 10 points. Ok lang kaya na ituloy ko ung invite. Salamat.

If you are confident enough and have STRONG and COMPLETE evidence to claim that 10 points, then go. But do this at your own risk since you have no RSEA. If you have agent naman na, I think they are competent enough to advise you whether to push through with your application. All the best po!

Hello po. Got a feedback from EA na hinihingan ako ng additional secondary documents, ang sinubmit ko nung una is Work Reference Letter (COE) at yung ITR ko. Tapos humihingi ng isa sa SSS/Philhealth/Pagibig na statement. Anong klaseng statement po ba un? Pede na po ba ung screenshot sa online? Nakakakaba kasi sabi sa feedback ko one time lang daw sila pede manghingi ng additional requirement baka mamaya po may certain statement sila na hinahanap tas screenshot lnlg po bibigay ko tas mareject huhu

Hey, fellows. Anyone here who could recommend someone (immi officer maybe?) who could assist me with the skilled migration visa application, especially the skills assessment part? Mejo nalilito ako kung ano yung gusto nilang makita sa career episodes and summary statements.
PS. I'm a licensed Mechanical Engineer working as a senior engineer with 5 years of work experience mostly on Engineering Project Management. (same company lang for the entire duration)

we have an agent and hindi naman sila nakialam sa pag gawa ng CDR, more on checking lang sila sa sinubmit na documents, pero ung content ng CDR mo ay ikaw mismo ang gagawa.
I suggest check some samples ng CDR na approved na kay EA para may guide ka.

Good day engrs,
Im a civil engineer po. Ask ko lang if meron dito with same experience as mine. In my first 2 years of employment ko kasi, wala pa akong sss, pagibig, at philhealth. Strict ba si EA na basta walang secondary docs, automatic nang di sya macoconsider for RSEA? Sayang din kasi.
Thank you!
