  Hi,
  
  May tanong po ako sa mga students dito na hindi nakatapos ng course nila sa Pinas. Nagpasa po ba kayo ng certificate of completion sa school nyo sa Au? Nagtataka lang kasi ako kasi hindi ako nakatapos ng course ko pero hinihingan ako ng certificate of completion.
  
  Salamat!

  @Pattycorky & @dreamprayhard84: The visa officer did not consider iyong funding ng isa nilang sponsor (self-employed) kasi hindi naiprove iyong funds na nasa bank account nila. They submitted their ITR for the last 3 years, and mababa ang declared income. Masyadong mabusisi yata kapag 572. Now, they're planning to engage an education agent/migration agent, pero nagdadalawang-isip sila kasi medyo mabigat din daw ang fees. Iyon nga lang, baka kung self-application ulit, baka marefuse na naman daw siya. Ang fear niya talaga magkaroon ng history of visa refusal. Kaya I told them to visit this site, kasi andaming free info and very willing ang mga forumers to share their knowledge which is a big help talaga!

  @rinbee Try consulting IDP. Their services are free. They will also enlighten you regarding sa financial matters. Just try. Kasi mahal talaga ang fee sa ibang agencies. Better be practical. Cheers.

  Hi! bago lang po ko dito pero matagal ko ng sinusundan ang thread na to.. ask ko lang po, kapag ba yung IELTS OBS is 6.0, malabo na matanggap for postgrad degree in any uni? Target ko po sana yung July intake sa UWS or UNISA kaso sabi sakin ng agent, hindi daw kaya yung score ko. Nagapply po ko sa UOW kasi 6.0 lang yung need na ielts pero hindi rin daw sure yun. Any advice? Sana po may sumagot, ang lungkot kasi kung magreretake ule. Sayang yung effort at money

  hi kung gusto mo talaga july intake siguro mag vocational course ka na lang like nun sakin kasi min. of 5.5 lang pwede na.

  @dreamprayhard84.....IMHO...I believe it would be challenging for you to get a favorable response from any CO considering that these CO there in Pinas are Pinoy as well so for sure they know exactly how businesses are run and what are the documents (official) required for one.....so if brgy business permit lang ung hawak mo, not to discourage you but i think medyo alanganin....my 2 cents....

  @dreamprayhard84 ...do you mean na ang wifey mo ang mag study?....if that then is the case.....you need to be sure that you have all the funds for the whole duration of her program (let say 2 years) plus all your living expenses like food, housing etc.....

  @dreamprayhard84 ......just like in the case of our agent before in Cebu.....mas maigi na you all prepare the statutory declaration (affidavit of support) in case na kakailanganin from all of you. One important thing: be sure na sa pagpasa nyo sa mga documents, yong pinakalatest na updated bank account ang isusubmit nyo....para sabihin na active talaga yong 3 accounts na yon....good luck bro.....

  @tin1289 .....i can't vouch for Queensland sicne Melbourne ang whole experience namin (4 years) and just being realistic with you....maganda naman dito sa melbourne pero I would say that sa umpisa mahirap talaga especially in your case na kayo lang mag isa ang pupunta dito at wala pa kaung kamag anak dit...everything will become a gamble to you....first may i ask you, are you optimistic and determined enough to cope with all the trials here? Hindi madali ang makahanap ng work dito though yong mga friends namin na andito na medyo may kasabay na luck sila: 1st- couple sila then yong guy ang student..nakawork ang wife sa fish and chips but more than 6 months pa nakakita ng work ang partner, 2nd- mag isa din siya then maybe after a month pa siya nakawork as a cleaner, then 3rd yong bagong dating last month, couple sila swerte dahil chef sila pareho so pinalad at nakawork na ngayon ang guy sa footscray and lastly yong dumating last week, sinwerte at nakahanp ng work sa isang restaurant.....pero honestly hindi madali maghanap ng work dito....maliban na lang kung sa 2nd semester mo may tutulong sa tuition mo...good luck sis......
