question po.

in lodging VISA application... sa pag aattach ng docs... need ba lahat eh CTC'ed?
And if need na ctc... paano mag delete ng mga naattach mo na? Wala kasing remove/delete function eh. Or attaching the same eh will overwrite the current attached document?

Pa advise naman po.
Thank you.

CTC'ed or colored... Both are accepted.

Back in 2012, you cannot delete what you have uploaded sa eVisa... It may still be the same today but that should not be a problem. Upload lang the correct file and inform lang the CO of the erroneous file that you want to be deleted.

question po, anu po ba yung tawag sa IRAS form na kelangan i-prepare for visa application? Medyo nakakalito meron ditong Form C at Form C-S. Salamats.

Hello po! Ask ko ang lang po about MK Consultancy services na agency. based po ako dito sa SG and planning magprocess nang visa for OZ. Is this agency good? Anyone can suggest na magandang agency for application? Ano po ba mas maganda, mag-agency or self-assessment?

Wait for other replies ragarding which agency is best to deal with. For DIY vs. agency same lang din chance mo nman yan. Pros ng DIY are you will understand the application process which is not really that difficult especially pag active ka sa forum na to, will not cost you a good sum of money, have personal access to your application on the immi account/
Personal dealings with CO. You need agent if complicated case mo and needs professional assistance, money is not an issue, You are too busy and not having enough time understand the process of applications. But still in which ever choices you made, you still need to personally do the ielts, collect documents, etc.

thegreatiam15 · February 2014

question sa ibang nakakuha na nang visa nila?agaran ba kayo umalis or nagipon muna kayo?

paano maghanap nang accomodation?sobrang napapaisip ako dito mga bossing

at anung airlines kinuha nyo from PINAS to AUS or PINAS SG AUS?

MARAMING SALAMAT!!!

clickbuddy2009 · February 2014

Hi @thegreatiam15, if I were you, I wouldn’t pay too much attention on those things yet. Take one step at a time and don’t rush too much. Kapag palagi mong pagtutuunan ng pansin ang mga bagay na yan, mas lalo ka lang mappressure at di na magffunction ng mabuti ang isipan mo sa ibang mas importanteng bagay lalo na sa current work mo. Malayo pa naman ang application mo, and along the way, marami pang magbabago sa mga initial plans nyo.

Share ko lang yung experience namin, in the span of 6months, maraming mga plano ang nabago samin dahil di namin hawak ang future ng mga bagay2. Meron pa nga kami plano na next year na around march or april pupunta sa AU, pero bigla na namang nagbago at gagawin na lang namin ngayon April or May. Alam ko may mga darating pa uling unexpected things na maaaring makaapekto sa mga plano namin pero unti2 na namin yun pinaghahandaan. Sa ngayon ay nakafocus muna kami sa kung ano ung mas malapit sa katotohanan at yun ang pinagtutuunan namin ng panahon.

Easy ka lang muna.

vhoythoy · February 2014

Ako din, daming nagbago sa plans ko along the way for the past 3 years wahahahaha!

Early 2011 wala ako ka plano plano mag migrate since happy naman dito sa SG. Nandito na din nman ang lahat eh, bakit aalis pa if you know what i mean.:D Yan ang feeling ng mga ilan taon plang sa Singapore, lalo na if you have good job here and earning decent salary.
Ang hobby ko lang naman dito dati is mag dota araw2, mag nights out sa Tanjong Pagar at kung saan2 pa kasama mga housemates ko, Bili ng gadgets/damit/luho, laro ng basketball kaliwa't kanan, at magbasa ng Skyscrapper forum to check anong latest na property tinatayo sa Pinas. Balak ko lang nun talaga, ipon2 tapos bili siguro another property then uwi na ng pinas, ganun ka simple.

Then mid 2011, apply SG PR..then after few months boom second rejections (1st rejection ko early 2010). Tapos may dumating kaming bagong boss na sobrang mainitin ang ulo at kinailangan ko lumipat ng trabaho di ko kinaya ung stress. Tapos kung ano2 pang problema along the way.

Early 2012, ayun nabuntis ang misis ko. Tapos nagstart maghigpit sa Singapore, nag start na ako makaramdam na parang nasasakal na ako sa Singapore. Sabi ko sa sarili ko na di ko na afford na umuwi ng pinas kasi may binabayaran pa kmi, magkaka baby na, plus madami umaasa pa sa akin. Pero need na talaga ng exit plan ASAP. Buong 2012, Inasikaso ko muna ung panganganak ng asawa ko at the same time improving my credentials by getting different certifications related to my career and focusing on long term plans. Binawasan ko na yung mga walang kabuluhang bagay, iwas Dota na muna, etc. At the back of my mind, by 2013 i will start my journey to migration. Nagstart na ako magbasa ng mga ibat ibang forums New Zealand, Canada, Australia, etc.

Jan 2013, got a job offer in Ottawa Canada via Jobbank.ca (formalised in Feb nung nagmeet kami ng employer sa KL) at same time my application sa isang malaking not-for profit org sa Mexico is doing great. Ilang series of interviews nalagpasan ko at nakasama na ako sa final interview. An excellent opportunity to travel around the world and getting salary of twice my gross in SG tax free with free accommodations, car, driver,etc. During that time i think either one of those opportunity makukuha ko, lalo na yung Canada kasi may signed job offer na visa processing nalang. So dami ko na plans and worries along the way together with my family, my mindset is completely changed na. Its really about time to move out in SG. I've got all my paperworks prepared, IELTS done, everything as early as Feb 2013. I'm already considering Australia na din this time but only my third choice. Joined this forum Oct 2012 and reading threads to get some idea.

But then again, ayun last minute, ung immigration lawyer from ottawa na kinuha ng employer ko told me to go FSW route instead. Getting LMO for accountant in Ontario is really hard, plus yung mga work/employment scandals that time in Canada. Accountant is closed in Canada that time, so no choice. Also gumastos na ako ng CA assessment sa Ontario and 2 major exams nalang sana CA na ako dun sa Canada. The Mexico opportunity also didnt materialised We are only 3 remaining candidates and i didn't make it. Competition is really that tough. I just cant believed what happened and was so disappointed. So wala pala talagang kasiguraduhan sa buhay, kung hindi talaga para sayo.

Passed application in Vetassess May 2013, all the while kasi ready na documents ko na gagamitin ko sana sa Canada. As application processing is 3 months, ayun inabutan na ako ng increase, as in major increase. From Aud3,060 lang sana before June 2013 to AUD6,160 last Dec. Due to indecisions and maybe bad luck. I told myself, i should have start my Australia migration process as early as Jan 2013 then ok na sana. But no choice, take it or leave it. And i chose to go for it.

Now, still waiting for CO. last year plan ko is to move first quarter netong 2014, supposedly next month. But walang kasiguraduhan pa rin, coz either i may get a Direct Grant anytime from now, or can be drag for few months if my medical is referred. But all in all, sabi nga, go on with the flow muna. Cross the bridge when you get there. I have really learned the word "patience" last year. Kaya best is wait and see. And ipon mabuti bago sumabak sa Australia.

@vhoythoy

haha ang saya naman...ako dota 2 pa din while waiting kasi ang past time ko magbuhat (gym) magjogging, magdota 2...literal na computer games military attitude ako...lesser chance na lumabas ibig sabihin more savings for me..hehe ang dinisiplina ko sir yung impulse buying...ayoko sa lahat nagreregret ako...

hmm nagplano din ako mag canada...pero sad to say sa profession ko bigla nagsara yung sa tatlong states na sana may opening lately disappointing talaga meron saska pero nawalan na ako nang gana, una sa BC, AB at sa WP ako pero sobrang nadismaya ako kasi nagreport na saken yung kakilala ko na andun na sabi andami na raw backlogs nang canada due to influx nang foreigners plus hindi na raw naaccomodate then may friend ako presidente nang UAP SAUDI...nagmigrate daw sila canada ang bagsak nya daw dun though FSW route siya...approved

pagdating janitor, cleaner, roofing shingles installer (masama pa nito siya mismo sa edad nyang 45) akala nya daw estimate estimate lang bigla ganun, carpentry at kung ano ano pa...

kaya daw makalanding siya archi...d raw siya nagdalawang isip...kahit paano yun na daw muna...maganda naman buhay na nya dun pero eto isang bagay na sobrang naasar ako kasi architect ka by profession at immig sabay sablay pagdating dun kasi local experience daw hanap...labo diba?plus considering pa edad nya...

kaya straight ako AUS makakita ako nang CSOL na work, nung una nga napanghinaan na ako akala ko wala na e..kasi sa SOL walang draftsperson for architects, kasi wala talaga dun...

sabay nakita ko yung 190 basa basa kaunti natutunan ko...

then dito sa site yung agent na filipina na australian based 30 years na sa work...ayun...on the roll na ako pero naghihintay nalang...once ok na ielts ko by friday next week at may magandang balita...ang aaralin ko nalang is patience..: ) kakalimutan ko muna tungkol dito...

maganda na buhay ko dito SG kung tutuusin kaso short term saka nakakasawa na yung setup na malayo ako sa family ko, publema ko to 1 year old na anak ko...self preservation at future goals na ika nga ang iniisip ko na dito kasi unang dating ko palang 3 years ago mahigpit na e...ano pa kaya ngayon...wala na raw atang Noypi naaapprove ngayon...

ewan ko ba sa ibang kakilala ko nagwawaldas nang pera dito...minsan ako yung natatakot para sa kanila nagaalala ako d lang ako nakikialam pero nakikita ko kasi..nakakatakot...yung iba naman naapprove lang sa ibang bagay yumabang na...umangas kaunti...mantala lahat naman tayo dun bagsak natin...di ko magets ano publema minsan...

end of the day...driven talaga ako, gasolina ko yung nangyayari sa pinas lalo ayoko na bumalik substandard na buhay, drive ko yung littleboy ko visions na magulat kana lang aussie accent nagsasalita sa harap mo, passion ko talaga magtravel pero kasi may family na so...might as well isama na sila...: )
