    @Winnie2016 - Honestly, hindi na ako updated sa market ng QA pero parati namang may mga job postings sa SEEK. I suggest that you also apply to other job opportunities outside QA just for a jump-start. Nag advise din kasi ang Immigration Department na you'll not always land in the exact job scope as what you are currently into. Ang importante ay magkaroon ka ng "local" experience at exposure.

    Hello everyone, we are planning to complete our application via SA sponsorship and nag pa assess na po kami. I'm not sure kung off topic, my wife and I read from the news recently about snakes during the summer period and gusto ko lang malaman if anyone of you have encountered snakes in Adelaide? Is it common even if we stay sa city area? Sobra po kasi talaga ang takot namin sa mga snakes and we have 2 small kids kaya we are preparing ourselves on what to expect there. Thanks a lot!

    Hello po, ask ko lang sana kasi nag babalak kami ni misis mag immigrate sa AU but i have this question particularly SA state sponsorship. So basically ako yung magiging primary applicant for the state sponsorship tapos isasama ko si wifey. IF and WHEN we get approved, pwede bang mag work si wifey doon? Does she need to take any english assessment?

    Tapos lets say na naapprove na yung visa (189), does that mean PR na?

    Sorry kung noob ang tanong, newbie kasi ang nagtatanong. haha. Thanks thanks!

    Good evening from Singapore!

    Kakaapprove lang ng SS namin..thank You Lord!

    Ang tanong ko po ngayon, ano po ang ideal salary range sa South Australia para makapagtaguyod ng family of 4 (me, my wife, and 2 toddlers) at syempre makapag ipon?

    Of course depende sa lifestyle...pero just to give u an idea, ang travel lang namin usually uwi ng pinas tapos madalang lang din kami kumain sa labas..since bata pa mga kids, pasyal pasyal lang sa labas muna. Hehe

    Yung mga nasa customer support line(ICT Customer Support Officer), kmusta po ang job market sa Adelaide?

    Target ko sa November first entry..

    Salamat!

    @Harddrive to simplify, just based your budget sa Sg. Wala masyado difference sa cost of living. In my experience, lower siya compared sa SG

    Meron po ba dito na nanggaling ng ibang bansa bago ang move nila? Balak sana namin, sa Singapore na manggaling kasi kung sa Pinas required pa ang PDOS?

    Ang tanong naman kung nanggaling kami ng SG to Adelaide at umuwi ng Pinas after let's say a year, kailangan pa din ba namin mag PDOS pag babalik na ng AU?

    Pano ba ang pag process ng OWWA/OEC sa Adelaide?

    Thanks..

    hi po sa lahat. I'm in the research phase for my Big Move to OZ.. Just got my 189 visa this month... Tanong ko lang po jan sa mga nasa Adelaide, marami po bang job opportunities for construction related jobs?

    one of the reasons why I''ve decided to move to OZ is the idea of having a laid back lifestyle which is almost impossible dito sa SG.. I think Adelaide is really a good candidate sa criteria na hinahanap ko pero i'm just worried about job opportunities..

    Thanks po sa sasagot..

    I'm from SG too. Yes, pasok na pasok ang SA sa hinahanap mo. About job, case-to-case. Meron nakahanap while in SG pa, meron din after few days, meron din in a week time, meron 1 month, meron din nag odd jobs muna bago nakahanap ng dream job :)
