    Hey bubs! ❤️
    I’ve been busy bingeing all of your vids. 🥰
    I am hopefully starting my process to apply soon, my goal is to apply this year August for the spring term of next year. ✨ So, your page is helping picture what things might be like for me when I eventually make it to SK. 🫶🏼
    First of all, YOUR PERSONALITY IS FIRE! 😭🫶🏼 I’m enjoying your vids so much. ✨
    Secondly, do you think you can make a video on your interviews? Both the mock interview with Korean Horizons and with EPIK? ✨
    I’m so excited to hear back from you! 🥹🥰🫶🏼

    • @ofentseselebogo3724
      @ofentseselebogo3724 Рік тому +1

      SAQA is online (you can search for their email address and then you scan you degree copy, ID and their consent form) and email them. You’ll then get a quote email (R610, you pay it and send proof of payment) once they have received it. They authorize your degree copy. After that is done, you email your documents to DIRCO. I hope I’ve answered your question💕.

    Hi. Just a quick one. How long did it take to obtain your pcc and how long it take for your degree to come back from SAQA. By the time you had to get your visa/leave SA was your police clearance not expired considering you started your process in July 2022 and left SA in Feb 2023
