<blockquote class="Quote" rel="TasBurrfoot">@princestar11 - let me tell you my story and hopefully some insights may be learned...
2008 was the year me and my ex-gf (now wife) arrived in Singapore; she was working as an auditor / finance manager while ako naman I was working in investment operations for a British bank. Just like you, Singapore has been good to us. We were able to save substantially here during our stay.
After we got married in 11.11.11; we begin to think where do we go from here? It can't just be fattening our bank account because at the end of the day, we can't stay permanently in Singapore because we were just under an EP. So ayun, our travels brought us to Melbourne in June 2012; it was love at first sight for my wife; for me naman it was like pwede, why not try diba?
Again swerte kami as my wife's occupation was in the SOL; it was quick and rapid, ginawa kong career to ensure that our application will be all good. Fast forward to November 2012, we got our visa!!
And by December 2012, we bade goodbye to our beloved SG... We spent a good 3 months with our family sa Pinas and konting travel around Asia before we finally did our entry as PR in April 2012.
Did I like it immediately? No... The transition was hard; couple with the fact that we didn't have work then immediately. Again swerte kami because by June 2012, we already got some work (albeit low pay, not really our line of work kind of job) na kahit papaano it stops the money from bleeding.
Little by little, we slowly learned to love Melbourne... We got better jobs, we got to meet friends here, we slowly opened ourselves to Melbourne.
Did we make the right choice? Absolutely... Melbourne is now home, we got a house here in end 2013 and I got my citizenship a few months back...
Do I miss Singapore? Of course, kaya bisita nalang every once in a while (I will have my 3rd visit this coming Feb 2017, so ayun excited!!)...
I am talking too much na so I will end it here but feel free to ask any questions...

Thank you Sir. Since meron na opportunity for me to work there, I'll just grab it, if ever naman hindi magwork out we can always go back to SG. I am actually finish with the documents I need for the visa application. Nasama ko rin sa Visa application ko yung girlfriend ko. Kaso pupunta sya dun ng walang trabaho pero may trabaho naman ako so okay lang din pero sana makakuha agad sya ng work sa Sydney. Sayang sir alis na kami ng Feb 2017 to Sydney, hindi na tayo makakapagmeet dito sa SG. Salamat po ulit.
