AKo naman, ABPF na since April 03, eh kaso feel ko joke lang yun since Feb lang ako nag lodge haha!
Regarding tax, may mga nababasa kasi ako sa mga forums na hinihingan pa rin sila ng proof of employment covering the entire years na ni-claim nila. Yun ay kahit todo proof na yung binigay nila like Employment reference in company letterhead signed by HR/manager with period and salary details.
So since di naman lahat ng tao ay nangongolekta ng payslips, the other option is to secure previous tax returns, or bank statements showing the salary is credited.
Nag-request na ako sa previous employer ko ng ITR, wa pa reply. Hirap pa naman since wala ako sa Pinas. Tumawag na rin ako sa BPI para mag request ng previous bank statements mula 2007 hahaha! May kamahalan lang kasi 105 peso per page or something!

So ngprovide ako ulit ng COE kahit ngpasa na ako kasabay ng online application ko. Nahirapan din ako sa payslips ko magkolekta kc tinapon ko na kaya humingi nlang me ng certification of my salary from my previous employer tsaka ITR.
Isa pa palng pwede mong proof sa superannuation payments ay ung SSS payment mo. You can check it online eh pwede mo rin iprint un. Valid din yun na proo

If ever na hingan ako ng CO ng employment certification eh malamang isubmit ko lang yung inupload ko na dati pa. In company letterhead naman kasi yun, complete with salary details and signed. Haay.
Nagwork ka rin ba australia kaya may super annuation ka na?

oo pwede na ung dating mong COE un din kc ang sinubmit ko nitong march 2012 lang nung humingi sila ng supporting documents.
Hndi pa ako ngwork sa australia on-going pa lang ang application ko. Kakarequest pa lang ang CO namin ng medical at police clearance. Hinihingi kc sakin dito ay superannuation payment eh tinanong ko sa agent nmin ung equivalent nun dito sa pinas sabi eh ung SSS payment nga daw.
@stolich18 yup my ibang CO na humihingi ng supporting documents lalo na pag ngclaim ka ng points sa work experience mo. Like ung nangyari sa amin naprovide na nmin sa online application ung ITR at COE ko pero hiningan pa ako nitong march 2012 ng supporting documents like payslip, ITR at COE ulit.

1) Wala yata sa email ng CO na mag-undergo na kami ng medical. Oks lang ba magpa-medical na rin kahit wala pa sya trigger? May separate email po ba tungkol dito?
2) Maghihintay po ba ko ng email from CO regarding Request for Police Clearance? I'm based po kasi sa SG and alam ko hindi sila nagbibigay ng clearances sa mga non-citizens.
Appreciate po your help! Thanks in advance guys!

I think so... Mukhang hihingan ka lang nung mga yon kapag pumasa ka na sa kanila... right now, hindi ka pa din pasado due to lack of documentation... Kung confident ka naman na mabibigay mo hinihingi nila, then you can front-load yung police clearance and medical.
However; my 2 cents bro, iprioritize mo muna ang mga immediate deliverables, which is what is critical at this point... You have to make sure na you provide everything you've got sa mga hinihingi nilang docs... I've seen cases na narereject dito sa stage na to ng application kasi hindi nakapagprovide ng enough docs, on time, etc. *knock on wood*
Malapit ka na sa finish line, konti na lang
