Hi po. May naka-experience na po ba dito na inallow mag home quarantine na lang instead sa facility? May nakapagmention po kasi sa amin na pwede. Is it a fact or a myth hahaha

inGodsTime189

Do you recommend booking a flight sa Sky Scanner or CheapFlights etc.. And malimit din po ba magcancel si Cathay?

Myth. Mandatory po mag quarantine sa hotel. Sa airport sila ang mag aassign ng hotel kung saan ka magstay.

Mas maganda po mag-book directly sa airlines. I won't recommend 3rd party sites specially this time kasi madalas mag cancel ang flights pag nacancel, mahirapan kang mag refund or rebook pag hindi direct sa airlines.

Cathay pacific madalas din magcancel. Last yr my bookings were cancelled 2 weeks before flight. Twice nangyari samin. Nakaswerte lang ako makarebook ng january flight at natuloy.

May I know how long is the process of getting a drivers license in AU? On the average?
And also, will they acknowledge my driver's license here in PH even if I just got it a month before our big move?

Thank you

you need to hold an international driver license for at least 3 years to convert to full AU license .
if less than a year, you will likely start from Learner or P1.

Hello po, tanong ko lang po regarding sa pagkuha ng CFO.

Naka send na po kasi ako ng documents sa CFO officer thru email and yung reply is it'll take a few days for verification daw.

Ganun po ba talaga or nakuha na ninyo yung certificate kaagad?

Hehe naconfuse po kasi ako
Thank you

Yung sakin po kinabukasan may nareceive ako email from them. May bbigay silang link. Dun ako nagregister. Then nagbayad ako sa byadcenter 560. May narecv agad ako temporary cfo sticker. Pero yung posted mail till now wala pa. Nagfollowup ako kc feb pa un, sabi nila delayed daw po talaga. Valid naman daw yung temporary cfo cert na pinadala via email

Yung asawa ko half lang binayad haha. Magkaibang month kasi kami dumating dito. Tapos nauna dumating bill nya (more than 2 months after nya lumabas). Waive sana inaapila namin since new migrant naman. Nagsabi kami ng reason kung bakit. Wala pag job (nung natanggap invoice), di pa approved jobseeker, etc. Lahat ng pwedeng maupload na ebidensya, inupload namin. Rejection letter from centrelink, proof of balance sa oz bank account namin, proof ng arrival, visa, etc.

Di nawaive yung fee pero at least nakalahati pwede naman din hulugan, pero binayaran na namin agad para di na isipin.

Yung bill ko wala pa haha

Salamat sa info. Malaking bagay pa din ang discount na yan ☺️

Just want to share our experience sa pagkuha ng Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) dito.
More than 3 years ang lisensya namin sa Pilipinas, tapos nag exam ng DKT.
Sana ay makatulong ito. Ingat palagi.

Sa mga naapprove ng Jobseeker payment na nagkawork, nirequire pa ba kayong mag agree sa job plan?
Nagtataka ako bakit pinag-aagree pa ako. Samantalang nung buong march na reporting nagsubmit na ako ng employer details and salary. May kasama pang tawag yun kasi nag-e-error sa site nila every time magsubmit ako ng report.

Hello. Re house hunting po. Assuming wala pang lisensya at wala ding friend/ relative na may car to drive around the area/ suburb, pano po ang ginawa nyo sa logistics? Taxi na lang? Meron ba alternative na medyo mura? 😅

hi po and good day, you can try searching for public transportation like the bus or train, but need to consider na minsan may delays and you need to cross lines kung train man ang gagamitin hehe...

check nyo po yung transportation website ng state kung nasan kayo, they are very helpful sometimes

all the best po!

Salamat po sa response. Bale pwede po ba naiaccept muna yung employer sponsored visa, tapos move na sa Australia at magwork. Tapos hopefully, pag naapprove ang PR application, macconvert na ang status ko from work visa to PR?
