One of the option po yung cross country to bypass yung OEC if you want to take a chance. Pero not sure po ako if makakalusot ka since na-offload ka recently. Baka may keep track sila ng record mo.

Practice lang po sa talaga sa ApeUni ang ginawa ko dito. May shadowing din kasi si ApeUni, kaya pwede din po kayo masanay kung papano po yung tamang pag-pronounce ng words and intonation.

Kelangan niyo lang po piliin yung tamang input device or yung mic ng computer niyo. iCheck niyo nalang po sa youtube or i-google niyo po kung pano po iset ng tama un mic sa google chrome. After ko po ito magawa, kahit nag-stutter ako sa practice nakakakuha parin ako ng score na above 70 sa ApeUni Read Aloud. Another advice din po, kuha po kayo ng headphone na may maayos na mic. Para masanay din po kayo pagdating sa exam. Nun una po kasi, ang ginagamit ko lang ay yung mga free earphones (pag bumili kayo ng cellphone) na may mic. > > > > _Resources:_ > > - APEUni > > > > ***Repeat Sentence*** > > Dito po, nagpractice muna ako ng WFD.

Nun nasanay na ako or natatandaan ko na un sinabi ng speaker, mas nadalian na ako sumagot. Another tip po is iimprove niyo po un fluency.

Hi Everyone, I'm new in this forum. Has anyone here immigrated to Australia with school aged child particularly in high school? I would like to know the process for school transfer from PH and the requirements. I was browsing online and public schools require rental agreement that demonstrates permanent residence in order for a student to be granted placement in school. Does this mean we need to secure our accommodation prior to travelling to Australia? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I've been in the cryptocurrency business for a long time. And several of my regular sites were closed. After searching the Internet for new and reliable exchange sites, I found Just2Trade It has a lot of positive reviews, its own app, and buying ether and other cryptocurrencies besides bitcoins. Also what makes me very happy is that I can [buy cryptocurrency](https://j2tx.com/ "buy cryptocurrency") . This was a revelation for me, so I highly recommend it to you!
I think one thing to consider here also is job opportunities for white collar workers. I have so many friends, peers, colleagues, etc. who chose Canada and when they arrived, they have problem looking for jobs inline with their current profession or work in the Philippines. That's because Canada, WES or any education assessment body by Canada doesn't fully recognize Philippine education. If they do, it will not be fully recognized but partial. Some employers also prefer immigrants to get Canadian education first before embarking on white collar jobs. What usually happen to new immigrants is they take blue collar job, labor job, etc. and then take classes on the side for their Canadian education. Before they can even get a white collar job inline with their profession/work in the Philippines. For me, I don't want to go through that. My parents don't want me to go through that, a blue collar job or a labor job, etc. That's why I chose Australia, all of my friends, peers and colleagues who went there have the same job as in the Philippines. Their education has been recognized by Australia. I would rather take risk in becoming an Australian citizen first, and then trying to go to Canada for work or vacation. Australians have a lot of opportunities and benefits in Canada and vice versa. They're just making it hard for 3rd world countries like Philippines or India to go to Canada. This is my opinion only, and the decision is all upto you in the end.
Hi. Would like to follow up po dito sa question. Does anyone of you know how to transfer money from PHILIPPINES to AUSTRALIA aside from western union, or bank transfer. I checked (Wise, World Remit, Remitly) but they can only send from Australia to Philippines not vice versa. Hope anyone can share on how we can send money to Australia in an inexpensive way. Thank you.
Naming Naming Conventions Australian names generally follow English naming conventions. Overseas-born Australians generally adapt their names to fit these conventions in formal documents. English naming conventions arrange names as follows: [first given name] [middle given name(s)] [FAMILY NAME]. For example, Jack Samuel ADAMS (male) or Emily Claire TAYLOR (female). One’s ‘first name’, known as a ‘personal name’ or ‘given name’, is chosen at birth as the individual’s personal identifier. It always comes before the family name. The ‘family name’, known as a ‘surname’ or ‘last name’, is inherited from one’s parents and shared with other members of the individual’s immediate family. Australian names are traditionally patrilineal, whereby children are given their father’s family name. However, this is not an enforced custom. Some parents may choose to give their children a hyphenated surname that contains the family name of both parents (e.g. Jack Samuel WILSON-ADAMS). A child born to same-sex parents can be registered with the family name of either parent or both parents. A child born to unmarried parents will be registered using the birth mother’s surname, unless both parents agree to use another surname.1 It is traditional for women to adopt their husband’s family name at marriage. However, this practice is declining. Many Australians also have a ‘middle name’, which is a secondary personal name written between the person's first name and their family name. For example, Emily Claire TAYLOR’s middle name is ‘Claire’. Middle names are optional and are rarely used in daily life. However, most Australians have one or multiple. Names Most Australian parents choose their children’s personal names based on aesthetic appeal. Many popular names have biblical roots, e.g. Joshua, Michael, Grace. More recently, it has been the trend for Australians to choose names that they find unique. These are usually names that are less traditionally common in the English-speaking west and are hence seen as more unique. Sometimes they are variations of a western name with a different spelling. The most popular first names for Australian children in 2020 were Charlotte, Olivia, Amelia, Isla, Mia (female) and Oliver, Noah, Jack, William, Leo (male).2 It is common for a child’s middle name to reflect the personal name of a close family member (such as a grandparent). The most common Australian family names have a British origin, e.g. SMITH, JONES, WILLIAMS, BROWN, WILSON. Other family names reflect the broad cultural, linguistic and geographic diversity of Australian families. For example, Jeremy SCHULTZ (German), Hannah NGUYEN (Vietnamese), Ashley MURPHY (Irish), Dylan WANG (Chinese). Australian law requires names to be registered with English letters only. Therefore, some foreign names may have various spelling in the transliteration to the Roman alphabet. Addressing Others Australians generally address one another verbally by the first name alone. In formal situations, people may use a person’s title (e.g. Mr., Mrs., Ms., Doctor, etc.) followed by their family name. Middle names are almost never used to address a person, unless quoted on formal/legal documentation. Australians often form nicknames for each other by abbreviating the name to a minimal amount of syllables (e.g. Michael becomes Mike). It is common for people to be given an ‘Australianised’ nickname that turns their name into Australian slang (e.g. Barry becomes Baz, Andy becomes Ando). These are often used within close friendships to emphasise mateship. Australians may refer to others as “mate” (usually to men) or “love” (usually to women) without knowing them very closely. https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/australian-culture/australian-culture-naming

> @JML said: > Hello po. If I go to Queensland, Australia po in aStudent Visa, my husband who is a civil engineer is my dependent po and will be in an Open Work Permit. Question, can my husband directly work po as a civil engineer in Australia po? Salamat po sa sasagot.🙏❤ You mean can he work in the same role as he did in the PH? I'd say it's unlikely to do that right away. Without local/Aussie experience, mahirap maghanap ng CE roles for migrants (PR or students and their dependents). Employer's excuse is that local experience, kasi how they do things in AU may be slightly different than other countries. Personally, I doubt that just because he's a CE grad with experience overseas that he can just work in the same role here right away (I'm registered archi in PH, but my registration overseas is not recognised here). If CE work is his end goal, the most feasible plan is to start as a CE draftsperson or technician (I know, it's entry level and not ideal, but they have to start somewhere). Get to know how things work in AU, then move up to higher positions. Having overseas work experience is an advantage though, kasi mas marami nang alam so mabilis ma-pickup yung local info as compared to Aussie na fresh grad na walang experience.

Good day po. Nghahanap po ako ng malilipatan sa Brisbane. Wala po akong idea kung saan sa Brisbane with the following criteria (in order of importance): 1. Family Friendly (quiet and low crime) -- I have 3 kids under 7 yo. 2. Nearby government schools -- meron akong Primary 1 na anak. 3. Accessible to supermarkets -- wala po akong kotse so kelangan walking distance lg or a few bus stops away. 4. No flooding -- walang may gusto nito. 5. Ok lng na medyo malayo sa CBD -- Work-from-home ako. Ngtingin-tingin na din po ako sa Google reviews and https://www.realestate.com.au, pero iba pa rin ang recommendation ng kapwa pinoy. Appreciate any ideas or recommendation po.

At kung drafter po sa anong skill po ba sya dapat ipaassess, salamat po. You can still come on a work visa but the skilled migrant visa has an age limit of 45 years old...you must be invited to apply before you turn 45. Applications for a permanent skilled visa after you turn 45 is extremely limited unless you are a high income earner applicant . You must be atleast 3 years on a work visa with a minimum income of $158,500 for each of the 3 years prior to application.
