<blockquote rel="Cleon">@hotshot kailan expire PR mo Sir?..plan ka na surrender yan before umalis ng SG?</blockquote>

SG PR will expire on June 2014. wala pa kong balak i-renounce ang PR status ko dito kasi sayang ang interest sa CPF. sa 2014 ko na i-renounce kapag stable na sa OZ. 🙂

Cleon

@hotshot...salamat sa info, ako din PR di ko rin muna renounce until sure na sa OZ hehe 🙂

Aiwink

@hotshot yaman! hindi kailangan ng CPF for migrating to australia. 🙂 Ipasok mo na lang yan sa Equity funds sa pinas. mas mataas ang percent. 20% per year ngayon sa pinas. 🙂 mabuhay ang economiya ng pilipinas! heheh kidding aside, i'm planning to invest my CPF to equity in philippines because we have the strongest stocks in the world. we just attained 3rd place last june... in the world based sa Time magazine. sorry proud lang sa pinas 🙂

@cleon ako karerenew ko lang last year. pero like i said irerenounce ko (takes 10mins) tapos invest ko lahat sa equity fund sa pinas. para kikita ako ng 20% every year.

hotshot

@Aiwink : actually, leaving my money with CPF means i'm betting on the value of SGD to go up. sana sana! hahaha

Cleon

@Aiwink...galing naman, ganyan ba kalaki ang equity funds sa pinas? 20% . laki ah!

anong mechanics paano mag invest? ehhehe is it guarunteed ba yan?🙂

Agree ako kay Hotshot...for me the best to invest sa SG dahil sa value ngang pera dito.

Kaya if PR ka dito kung naka bili ka ng property laki yung kita mo more than sa 20% na sinasabi mo a year kasi sa value nga dollars at bilis increase ng property dito🙂 tapos doon mo sa pinas spend heheheh

hotshot

@Cleon: hehehe pero seriously speaking...kaya ayoko talaga i-renounce PR ko e para may fall back lang kung sakaling di magwork out plans sa OZ. hehe

Cleon

@hotshot..

Sa akin din seriously Sir I am waiting for sa expiration ng PR ko dito at renew ko sya before ako pupunta sa OZ🙂 hehehe

Similar sayo may fall back sir at anytime bakasyun tayo dito sa SG ayos kasi PR tayo, cheap daw yung Scoot na plan ticket from Sydney......pero positive naman ako na aasenso tayo doon.🙂

@Aiwink - careful with this... eventhough phils equities has been on a roll lately, it does not always follow na it will be 20% year after year. Next year, it could be higher but on the other hand, it could drop by 15%...

dami naipit dito way back in 07/08 when thy entered the market at the peak of the market rally.

goodluck! 🙂

@Cleon ganun kalaki. mas strong ang stocks natin kesa sa SGD eh. nakapaginvest na ako sa lahat ng yan and pinas talaga ang positive miski recession. ignorant nga lang most ng pinoy kaya hindi natatake advantage. sayang e di sana daming pinoy ang magreretire ng mayaman. hehehe

@hotshot bigshot ka daw sabi ni lockcode ibig sabihin ba nun daming $$$$$ hehehhe. niilipat mo na sa special account ang ordinary mo? papaautograph ako sayo para pag yumaman ka masasabi kong nakilala kita. hehhe

kme kse ayaw na talaga namin sa SG eh. been here for 7 years going to 8 kaya naramdaman ko yung grabe taas ng inflation yung grabe ng recession at grabeng overtime na 3 days kang ayaw paliguin ng amo mo. hahahhaha. so its OZ or others. 🙂 (tapos hindi naaprove yari!)

Ayan... Long run baka pwede pa!! ehehehe... 🙂

NBI ko - muntik nang mawala!! ahahahaha... 🙂 alam nila @Cleon, etc ang nangyari... But to answer your question, nope no need to have it certified by the DFA. Just have it scanned in full color and this is all what they IO needs! 🙂

Happy weekend everyone! I need an advise from our expert dito sa forum.

Here's our dilemma:

Just received the IELTS result this afternoon & the total band score is 7.5, unfortunately, got 6.5 po sa Reading 🙁

We are considering 190 visa (nominated visa) with minimum points of 60.

Since we won't be able to claim points for our IELTS, we might only have a total of 60points based on the assumption below:

Age (less than 32) - 30pts

Work Experience - 10pts (5years)

Educational Qualification - 15pts (Bachelor of Architecture @ UST)

State Sponsorship - 5pts

Total: 60points

We are still waiting for the result of our skill assessment, I'm not sure whether VETASSE will recognize our above mentioned degree comparative to Australian study as bachelor so we will be able to obtain 15pts for our educational qualification.

For those who were granted visa, does your qualification recognized as bachelor or just a diploma? Coz if its only diploma, we are short of 5points, & will not be qualified for the 190 visa, thus, need to retake the IELTS exam.

If our university degree in Philippines can be recognized as bachelor, I will be able to claim 15points for my educational qualifications, therefore, we will be able to meet the minimum requirement of 60points. However, is 60points sufficient enough to be granted for VISA or our approval might be on risk?

Anyone of you were granted VISA for just 60points? Any inputs/insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your help.

Godbless us all 🙂

@carla_glam - in relation to your query re: school, pls see below:

as per the website of Australian Education International, they give guidelines as to how section 1, 2 or 3 schools can be comparable to the educational level of the AQF qualification.

Usually kapag section 1, walang problema ka as they are usually comparable to a bachelors degree in Australia; worth noting are as follows:

Section 3 institutions can be comparable to a bachelor's degree in Australia if:

(1) Bachelor Degree in a professional discipline with (a) 4 or 5 years full-time education, (b) 120-200 credits and (c) Evidence of passing the Professional Regulation Commission’s Licensure Examinations in the relevant professional field.

Section 2 institutions can be comparable to a bachelor's degree in Australia if:

(1) Bachelor Degree with (a) 4 years full-time education, (b) 120-185 credits and (c) Average grade of 1.00 to 2.00, (A to B, or more than 85%)

(2) Bachelor Degree in a professional discipline with (a) 4 years full-time education, (b) 120-185 credits and (c) Evidence of passing the Professional Regulation Commission’s Licensure Examinations in the relevant professional field.

(3) Bachelor Degree with (a) 5 years full-time and (b) Around 200 credits.

Take note that if your degree is comparable to the AU bachelor's, it means 15 pts ka when claiming for your educational background.

highest growth tayo sa stock market, pero kpiranggot lng market size ng equity market sa pinas, hindi sa kill joy ako ha, ang 10% growth sa PSIX could just be equivalent of 2% growth ng SG equities in terms of value. Some of the news are media spin, but by all means mag-invest kayo dun, ako may equity index fund sa both countries. 🙂

To put this in perspective - Apple Inc (AAPL.US) is just one for the stock trading in the US; it's usual daily value turnover is in between 200Bn to 350Bn in peso equivalent.

The Philippine Market on the other hand has a daily value turnover of around 7 to 15Bn in peso terms...

@carla_glam same educational background tayo. VETASSES will acknowledge the educational background sasabihin nila ito

"bachelor of SCience in Architecture awarded in 200- by the University of STo tomas

The qualification 1 is recognised by VETASSES for the purposes of awarding points for qualifications under the general skilled migration points test as comparable to the educational level of an AUSTRALIAN BACHELOR DEGREE."

having received that from VETASSES nagapply kme ng EOI tapos nagclaim kme ng points for education. after a month pinatanggal ng DIAC ang points. ngayon end of the queue ulit kme......
