The ACT must be one of the pinoy capitols of Australia! You can hear tagalog around every corner like blacktown in Sydney!

Hi Diane,

yeah mahal ang hotel dito baka it cost AUD100+ a day. Mahirap maghanap ng accommodation dito its like applying for a job. parang mag sesend ka ng resume then check kung kaya mo mag bayad ng monthly rent tuloy tuloy. Pupunta ka pa sa house for viewing and fill up ng form then the landlord decide kung sino kukunin nila deped sa status nung lilipat about income at how many peolple will stay there Like what i did here.

check mo ang site: www.allhomes.com.au may mga home site pa na iba i search mo na lang pero ito yung site na number 1 to look for accomodation. try mo rin gumtree.com.au put name of your suburb.

before ka mag search check mo kung saang lugar o suburb kayo work? then search sa google map kung saan yun then check kung anung katabing suburb yun. Dahil wala pa kayong sasakyan napakahirap mag adjust ng oras for commute i mean you need to catch the bus by there schedule lalo kapag weekends. Minsan aabutin ka ng oras bago ka makarating sa iyong pupuntahan kahit napakalapit lang. Kaya as much as possible yung malapit sa work ang kunin mo na house.

yung AUD450 per week na budget nyo ayus na rin yun makakakuha kayo ng 2 bedroom house dipende rin kung gaano kalayo sa business district syempre mas malapit mahal. May nakalagay naman dun kung mag kano rent eh. kung may napili na kayo na accomodation sa allhomes.com.au site just send them an email inform them that all of you will be arriving on August 20. your interested to move in their house. ilagay mo sa sulat kung ilan kayo titira at kung magkano ang annual salary nyo ng asawa mo. kung wala ka man work sabihin mo you will look for work. ilagay mo kung ilan taon na kayo. saihin mo din na malinis kayo sa bahay para ma-impressed ang owner or agent ng house. sabhin mo din kung ilan taon kayo plano mag stay dun sa house its up to you kung 1 year. kailangan nyo pala mag prepared ng 4 weeks bond o tinatawag na advance payment. pag nag move out naman kayo puede nyo i refund or puede gamitin yun as last payment.

Kapag nakakuha na kayo ng house as much as possible kumuha na kayo ng drving licence at kotse. dahil ang hirap ng walang sasakyan dito lalot may anak kayo.

to be practical kung may kamag anak kayo dito mas mabuti tumuloy muna kayo sa kanila habang hanap ng house.

to have you idea kung anung itsura ng front ng house at surrounding neighbor you can check in 3d or actual picture of front ng house na napili nyo sa Google MAP. Sa right or left side may nakalagay dun yung north arrow circle yun at sa baba nun may plus or minus means yun ang zoom in zoom out. may makikita ka dun na male figure i click mo yun at drag mo yun sa exact location map ng house na napili mo. then automatic mag lo-load yun makikita mo agad ang view ng road at itsura ng mga house. Its like you are in the middle of the road driving and see all the view as in actual perspective view. I hope you got it.

May mga filipino community naman dito sa canberra eh. search nyo na lang sa google. at kung sa religion may catholic ata dito na filipino community at kung christian naman mayrun din. Goodluck and welcome to Canberra. GOD bless your family. cheers

mag hanap kayu dito www.allhomes.com.au ito yung site para sa Canberra sa mga naghahanap ng rent ng bahay.

para makita nyo ang ang mismo labas ng bahay at neighborhood pati kalsada. punta ka sa internet google earth o map. seclect nyo satellite map. sa gilid may nakalagay na north may hugis tao dun click nyo at i drag mo sa location ng map kung saan yung address na hinahanap mo. ayun makikita mo na ang 3D o yung harap ng bahay.

Mag tanung ka rin sa www.philippines.com.au baka may pinoy dun na may alam na matutluyan pansamantala.

Goodluck

cheers

Ano yung occupation codes mo/nyo?

chiffonscarf

Sharing with you guys the response I got from ACT (Canberra) State Sponsored nomination:

As advised, applications lodges after 1 may are unlikely to be processed before 1 Ju7ly.
The 1 July changes will not have a great impact on government sponsored visas. You will still apply to us for sponsorshuip first; if approved, you will lodge your EOI with DIAC; when you inform us of your DIAC reference number, we will formally nominate you on the DIAC system and the visa invitation will be immediately issued.

Anyone living in Canberra right now? How is life there? hehe
