Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

    @hard2handle ok lang mauna si primary pero dapat makapasok si secondary before IED otherwise mapapaso yung visa no secondary sayang lang. Not sure kung pwede magpaextend ng IED. Search mo merong thread about IED dito. Medyo self explinatory and logical yung mga inputs about it.

    @axln yes,yun sana ang ideal. Kung alam ko lang sana kelan darating ang grant. Very strict talaga sila pagdating pala sa ied.

    @athenalady14 actually, we never encountered that problem. May agent kasi kami so kung may tanong kami si agent yung nagemail sa diac. Kung late magreply si agent wala na kaming pakialam sa reason nya. Stressful kasi magantay. Kaya dun sa 6 years na pagaantay, "Come what may" na lang ang naging slogan ko sa application namin. Darating kung darating... :)

    Hello fellow 496ers! Kamusta na kyo? Dina tyo nadagdagan. Nagback read ako sa job hunting thread, parang mahirap yata makakuha ng job yung mga temporay visa gaya natin. Ano sa tingin nyo ang status ng job market sa tulad natin? Sana wag naman tayong gaanong mahirapan.

    Hi @roll04 congrats! may I know which team processed your visa? pwede din ba malaman timeline mo if you don't mind and if you're migrating alone or with family? nagpamedical kasi kme ng family ko last June pa. sa last message ni CO 2 weeks ago e ok na daw lahat ng medical & documentary requirements namin, pero naubos na ung allotted allotted places para sa family migrant under our subclass for this program year kaya daw hindi sya sure kung mabigyan pa kame ng visa ngayong program year 2013-2014.
    hindi naman sinasagot ni CO kung kung kelan start ng program year 2014-2015 kaya di namin alam when & what to expect...

    @hard2handle sana nga makahabol ka kasi last august nakatanggap ako ng letter sa CO na di sila sigurado mafinalise this year kasi nga daw limited yung spot. Pero awa ng Diyos, nabigyan din ng grant.

    I'm giving up my PR status dito sa singapore, kaya sana palarin tayo pagdating sa australia. Sana makahanap agad tayo ng work dun para makaapply ng PR eventually. May dalawa akong kapatid dun sa Melbourne, kaya bawas na sa problema yung matitirhan.

    @hard2handle konting kulit na lang po yan sa CO nyo. sabihin mo lang na 6 years na kayo naghintay. wag naman sana na paghintayin pa kayo ng 1 year. I think may mga available slots pa sila this year although konti na nga lang siguro. pero tingin ko makakaya sa pakiusap.

    @StickyNote sige will try na kulitin si CO. Pero baka naman mapikon na,d kya?
