Mga boss may question lang ako about sa TRA Migration Assessment for Hardware technician:
Mag susubmit lang ba ng documents dun? Yun lang ba yung assessment, like isusubmit mo lang yung work experience mo?
Yung skill na iaapply ko kasi eh nung September 2022 pa, ngayon iba na line ng work ko (programmer). Pwede ko pa ba iapply yung skill na yun? Kung pwede, hanggang kelan ko sya pwede iaaply? Within how many years.

Hi! newbie here. I'm interested po to apply for a skilled migrant visa. I'm an IT graduate po with 6yrs and 6mos working experience as a Software Engineer. I'm planning to get my skills assessed po by ACS. Tama po ba na ang pagkakasunod-sunod ng process for this application is: Skills Assessment by ACS - PTE Exam - EOI - Visa Application? Also, I've read po na need ng payslips from previous employers. However, na-keep ko lang po last three months of payslips ko from each companies. Hindi ko po nasave yung first months. Sa first company ko po (2018-2021), I have BIR2316 2020 and 2021 and yung last 3 months nung payslips ko and pwede ko naman din po i-screenshot yung SSS contrib ko para makita yung 2018-2021. Okay na po kaya ito as proof po? May possible po kaya na maging issue since wala po ako payslips and BIR2316 nung 2018 and 2019?

yep, tama po. alam mo naman yung mga pre-requisites right? like you need positive assessments or desirable results before you can submit an EOI. after EOI, you need to get invited for visa application.
regarding payment evidence, try as much as you can to gather evidences to solidify your claims. maybe contact your payroll bank? maybe you can request transaction history. reach out to your employers din, see if ano pwedeng workaround given the situation. basta exhaust all the possibilities.
i suggest you backread a few more posts in this thread, may mga same scenarios like you who got positive results. ayun lang, all the best!

Hi! Thanks for the reply, yes po aware naman po ako. Baka lang may na-miss out ako na step hehe. Ask ko lang din po pala, may timeframe lang po ba na valid yung reference letter? Like for example, I'm planning to request na po sana kasi yung reference letter sa previous employers ko. Pero cinoconsider ko lang po na baka ma-busy ako for some reasons or may other stuff po ako need na gawin. Then let's say lang po after ilang months ko pa macomplete yung requirements ko na need isubmit sa ACS. Okay lang po ba na kahit matagal na po lumipas since nareceive yung reference letters ko?

Also, you mentioned transaction history. I just called my payroll bank, they said na they can provide it. Pero the name of the employer will not be reflected. Pano po pag ganto?

no problemo! 😊 i applied last year pa ha. yung ginawa ko, all my letters from my previous employers were in the current year (2023), pero yung sa current employer ko was dated nung month na nag apply ako. baka lang kasi they might ask for an updated one for your current employer. submit a decision ready application para iwas delay.
pero!! since ACS launched their new application process, afaik mabilis na yung turnaround time nila.

I see!! alright thank you!! Feel ko lang kasi mahihirapan ako mag gather nung reference letters from my previous employers, and ito nga problem ko pa yung sa payment evidences since I only kept 3 payslips nung last three months ko sa company. hays hehe

try mo if your employer can certify the transaction history. alam ko may gumawa ng ganun. kausapin mo na lang both parties on what options are available. check mo previous posters here for the same scenarios like you, para may makuha kang idea. alam ko madami ganyan dilemma.

Hi. Nakareceive ako today message from ACS:
"Please upload the original documents. A true copy or certified copy are not acceptable."
Para sa employment reference, meron stamp na "Certified True Copy" dun sakin. Tanong ko lang po, dapat alisin yun stamp or meron ibang wording para masabi na original document? Thank you po.

1. Mag decide ka kung Stat Dec ba or yung letter from HR nyo yung gagamitin mo. Kung mas confident ka sa job descriptions mo sa gagawin mong Stat Dec, doon ka nalang mag focus at ipa notarize mo sa supervisor mo.
Generic COE lang din ng supervisor mo, di na kelangan na as detailed as yours. Make sure may overlap sa tenure nyo.
Pag nag Stat Dec ka, super mali na gamitin mo company logo and header. Hindi sila (HR) nag issue nun kahit copied pa from HR ang details. Stat dec is a document written by your supervisor attesting they have supervised you during your employment in that company. Ang required na may company logo and header (+ verification details), is yung official employment letter from your HR. (Baka di ko lang nagets tong #3 kasi ano ba yung email?)

Thank u po sa pagsagot! and sorry for the confusion din po, what I'm asking po sa #3 is okay lang po ba yung parang ganito lang po kasimple yung statutory dec (no company logo and header)? :
Joined: Jun 21, 2024
Also, okay lang po na dumerecho na po ako doon sa manager ko sa dati kong employer without sending e-mail po sa mismong HR? Hindi po ba magiging issue kung bakit statutory dec yung ginawa ko po instead po na mag-ask muna directly sa HR po nung reference letter?

Hindi yan issue. Basta authentic document okay yan.
Pero kapag mag stat dec ka, kelangan mo magprovide ng letter from HR eh (non-issuance). Kasi ang concern mo lang naman eh medyo generic yung job descriptions nung letter sa HR di ba? So meron ka na nung letter? Isend mo nalang din yun. Tapos yung sa stat dec, iemphasize nyo that the job descriptions in the stat dec are more detailed than those provided by HR, to demonstrate further the suitability to your nominated anzsco's roles and responsibilities.

Thank you po sa mga tips sa group na to, after 9 working days nakuha ko na yung result ko from ACS as suitable against my 3 nominated roles.
Bale ang considered lang sa akin is from March 2018 (even though since 2014 yung work ko, nabawasan ako ng 4 years kasi hindi related yung course ko sa nominated role). Thankfully, na-assess pa din as Bachelor's Degree yung course ko.
One question lang po when filing an EOI sa 189, 190 and 491. For the work experience ba, it will only be considered 6+ years for all those subclasses? Or sa 189 lang ba yun applicable?

Hello. Follow up ko lang po, baka may nakakaalam. Nagsearch po ako, dapat meron exact wording na "Certified True Copy of the Original" sa employment reference. Tama po ba? Ganto din po ba yung sainyo?
Thank you.

Hindi ako nagsubmit ng certified true copy kasi hindi naman yan nirerequire ni ACS. Hard copy ba yung inissue sa iyo na document tapos ni-scan mo nalang? Hindi ko magets bakit may ganyan pang wordings kasi. Magpa re-issue ka nalang ulit ng bago without those.
Kung soft copy yung inissue sa iyo, mas lalong dapat wala nang ganyang stamp. Anything issued by HR to you directly is an original document. Hindi naman yan parang title ng lupa na iisa lang talaga original and rest are copies nalang. First time ko lang narinig din. Goodluck.

hi po, as long as yung Original Copy hawak mo, at clear yung pagkaka-scan, it will be accepted, that is my opinion po so please take it with a grain of salt
very straightforward naman yung requirements nila, pag need nila ng "Certified True Copy", they (ACS) will tell you po... very responsive din sila for me pagdating sa mga requests and enquiries...
eto po details nila:
cheers!
all the best po and God Blesss!
