Anyone tried to submit an assessment sa ACS on a different ANZSCO code? Different email address ba gamit?

Same account/email will do.

talaga? I checked earlier and noticed the old files are still there..di ba naquestion yung new submission kung aligned na siya sa ibang ANZSCO code like the roles and responsibilities?...I already have a positive assessment and di pa siya expired..

Same scenario got a positive assessment CNSE 263111, pero I will submit another one for another ANZ code 263212, I will use the same docs that I used. I am doing this kase meron akong 2 employment episode that is assessed as not closely related daw (lost 5 points here). I kinda expected this dahil medyo generic yung job roles ko dun and mas fit sya sa 263212.

I asked a friend who did this, parehong positive naman outcome in the end. No questions asked.

Update ko lang to, I got a positive assessment sa 263212 as well, all my employment episode has been considered minus 2 years.

Same documents? Sakin yung old anzco code pa din yun nirecommend...tintingnan ko kung baka old filea yung cheneck ng reviewer kc ngsubmit ako ng documents na aligned sa systems analyst..

Question ulit guys. Per company ba or per period and separation ng employment episode? Example is I've worked for Accenture from 2019 to 2020 and resigned and worked for other companies for 2 years, then I worked again for Accenture in 2023 to present. Isang Requirements nalang ba yung for Accenture? or 2 submission yun for Accenture? One for 2019 to 2020 and another para sa 2023 to present? sabi kase sa guidelines:
• Each period of employment outside Australia must be recorded separately in the online application.

jaycata_11 · March 15

sorry guys medyo nalito lang po ako, magkaiba pa ba yung Employment Reference and service/employment certificate?

Ang alam ko kase Employment Reference lang and Proof of Payments and need

I think required ka lang magbigay ng Employment Certificate if you are unable to obtain Employment Reference kasi naka "OR" naman siya.

You need to submit for each employment episode. Sa case mo submit 2 different references from accenture.

No need pa embassy, check ka lang ng statutory dec work example sa google to be signed/confirmed ng someone higher sa work or client na yun nga ginawa mong work for that period. Then, need mo pa Notary yung Stat dec letter. In my case nilagyan ko den ng Govt ID copy nung nag signatory saken which is Team Lead ko nun, kasi ayaw mag bigay ni ACN.

I guess malaki ang dpi settings mo. Bakit ganyan haha check mo. Pwede naman 300 dpi lang pero acceptable na yan sa acs. Don't use phone scanner chaka sya.

Hello everyone. New in this forum.

Anyone here na na-terminate from their previous IT job? Sinama nyo ba sya sa pina-assess nyo sa ACS?

I have only 1 year work experience as Support Engr. from that employer who terminated me.

Worried lang ako na baka magkaron ng impact sa assessment sakin if I included a job I was terminated.

Also, once nag lodge ng EOI need parin ba ideclare yung terminated employment? Thank you po for the insights.

When you're invited and you're about to lodge your visa, you need to declare ALL your work episodes whether or not you're claiming points. Just be transparent, para walang kakaba-kaba feeling. Bawasan natin ang isipin. Do it right.

If you are able to secure employment documents from that employer, then good. If in that employment reference they state the exit reason as terminated, eh it is what it is. Di naman siguro malala ano na tipong magpopose ng grave impact sa career mo. If you were able to land a job after that termination, ayos pa yan.

Na terminate ako sa isa kong job pero dineclare/sinali ko pa din siya kahit hindi siya nominated occupation ko. Best to include.

Self-employed kasi ako nung time na yan, bali contractual work ko sa company then I have a business registation sa BIR. Hindi ba under ako sa self-employed individual non? And ang need ko is self-written stat dec na?

Just want to confirm with self-employed pips din that have the same xp

Hi, > @JamesAraneta said:

Hello, sorry if this was asked before, I have BS in Electronics Engineering with PRC license but my experience is not alligned to my degree and more on IT Network Security (8 years total experience). Can I still get points for Educational Qualifiation if I proceed my skill assessment through ACS? Also, ano po yung ma recommend nyo na occupation visa based sa education and work experience ko? Thank you in advance!

Possibleng mabawasan ng 2 years ung assessment since di align ang degree. Pwede nyo sir icheck sa ACS site ung list of occupation na masmalapit sa Job description nyo for the past years.

May bearing sya para maging bachelor’s degree yung qualification mo especially if under section 2 or 3 ang school mo, but no need to be renewed. Mine was never renewed ever since 😅, we only submitted yung PRC certificate (yung binigay during oath taking) kay ACS, not the ID.

hello po,
I have submitted ACS. kaso hindi po in chronological order yung experience.
May issue po ba yun? sinubukan ko po kasi ayusin sa ACS before submission kaso di na sya naayos.

It's advisable that you upload in chronological order so that the AO can easily refer to your files. In your case, and their website really won't allow updating of uploaded files, I hope you consolidated docs and named each file accordingly to identify employment episode.

This shouldn't be a big issue. As always, basta huwag maasim yung officer na matapat sa iyo okay yan.

Hello, I’m a newbie here! One question please, sa ganitong scenario ba, need ko ng 2 sets of payment evidences for each role? Same company lang ako and may change ng role lang within the company:

Company ABC:

Data Analyst
March 2016-December 2017

Incident Management Analyst
January 2018-February 2019

Need pa kaya ng payslips/ITR for beginning and end of each role? Or enough na yung payslips for March 2016 and February 2019 plus ITR/SSS Contributions since same company naman?

Hello! I received this email earlier today from ACS:

Please provide bank statement at least two transaction per year for all employment.

However, I've already submitted the following:

BIR Tax Returns - Complete for all employed years
Pagibig - Complete for all employed years.

However, doesn't these documents already satisfy the following (in bold) from Section 2.7 of the ACS docs?

• Official government tax records or documents that may include payment summaries, group
certificates (citing company and applicant name). Tax documents completed by the applicant are
not accepted.
• Payslips citing names of the applicant and employer,
• Employment linked insurance documents citing the name of the applicant and employer,
• Superannuation/provident fund documents citing the name of the applicant and employer,
• Bank statements citing names of the applicant showing salary payments from employer.

Has anybody encountered this before? Thanks!

Those 2 should already suffice. However, assessment depends on the officer. Sometimes they ask for addl docs, sometimes they don't. In your case, if you don't have bank statements, maybe payslips? Other payment evidences and provide them explanation letter why you can't provide such.

Aha, I see. So it depends on the case officer. I can't provide a bank statement since BPI and Metrobank payroll accounts were already closed. I called them and said they can't provide bank statements for already closed accounts.

I do have some payslips albeit incomplete, but I think it can be possible if they only want 2 payslips per employment year. I'll email them to ask if it's possible.

Thank you!

Wala ka makuha SSS just to add lang? Though pagibig and SSS are just counted as 1 evidence pangdagdag lang ba. Hehe

Share ko lang, I have 5 years employment doon sa isang employer ko, complete SSS and Pag ibig, yung payslips ko are not even start and end but provided 5 copies from random dates on my employment period, tapos ITR ko dalawa lang. It was assessed positively naman without asking for more docs.

I reckon, dipende talaga sa case officer na humahawak.
