<blockquote rel="wizardofOz">@vhoythoy thanks sa inputs... parang displaced aggression pala yung nangyari sayo since kamuntik ka na sa Canada, kaya ngayon mas nakakagigil yung matuloy agad sa Australia.
Ako naman, my brother is a citizen in Canada also, but for some reasons, laging nabbulilyaso yung mga plans naming na makasunod ako doon, and ngayon na PR na ko sa Oz, dun ko lang na-realize na ito pala ang para sa akin talaga kaya hindi natuloy yung Canadian Dream hehe.
Pero yun, we are all in the same boat ika nga, yung iba nga lang, mas malaki yung boat or may yateng dala hehehe (kaya essentially we are not on the same boat hehe)... pinapalakas ko na nga lang yung loob ko na some of us probably are in a better situation than other migrants, for instance hindi lang naman lahat about financial ang concern, meron ding nahihirapan mag-decide dahil may personal issues or responsibilities na pwedeng iiwanan sa pinas…
On the other hand, tama ka rin na the more the Big Move is being pushed out, meron din nawawala satin one way or another. Kaya leap of faith talaga ang mangyayari.. and very risky one.</blockquote>
Yup, atleast kahit hindi ako natuloy sa Canada eh nafully paid ko condo ko sa pinas, nabayaran ko credit cards/ utang ko lahat, at nakasama ko pa grand parents ko (nagpalaki sa akin) at naasikaso libing nila before kami mag migrate. So maraming iisipin at bigat ng kalooban ang nawala. Pero two years ago it was all Canada for me, Australia is my second choice. Yun na un eh, approved job offer, good salary, very active in canada forum (lbautista), no local exp/ hardships for me in Canada sana. Planning/ dreaming to study French, watching live NBA games, travel to US, etc. basically living a Canadian dream. I have met the employer in KL, processed my CPA Canada requirements (medyo nagastusan din ako dito), all is set. Plane ticket nalang sana hinihintay ko as i thought kasing dali makakuha ng work permit dun like here in SG. He even hired immigration lawyer to help getting lmo and process work pass. Pero mahirap nung time na un dahil sa mga scandals on securing work permit, then hindi ako makaapply ng fsw kasi wala accountant sa list.
I have submitted my assessment in vetasses for Australia as back up. Hanggang sa na frustrate nko, depression sets in, pati sa Australia 15% increased in fees, additional payments for spouse/ child so from AUD3,060 lang ata kaming lahat naging AUD 6,160 LOLs. Parang somethings not right. Pero natuloy pa din sa Australia, means dun tlaga ako. May reason siguro kaya di din ako natuloy sa Canada, haha
