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

    Very simple life here.

    Canberra has excellent design of road and other infrastructure.

    Clean air, lots of trees and you can drink tap water.

    Every morning you can hear lots of birds twitting.

    Good for nature lovers.

    Good for all bicycle lovers, it has bicycle lane along the roads and you can use the footpath.

    Good for those who love to walk and jogging.

    There’s no heavy traffic.

    Its freezing during winter from June to Sept.

    It’s great and advisable to live here for those who have family.

    Good luck

    Cheers

    @faa317: Ako din sa ACT lang nasa list of in demand yung occupation ko. I've noticed most of the occupations such as HR,Marketing, Advertising,PR etc..ay nasa ACT. Here's the link to official website http://www.business.act.gov.au/skilled_and_business_migration

    Vetassess naman would really require kung need nila supporting doc, nasa website din nila itong information na ito. HTH.

    Pag tiningnan niyo yung State Sponsored Occupation List, halos lahat ng trabaho nandun pa sa Canberra hindi tulad ng ibang states na iilan na lang (i.e. Accountants, Engineers, Blue Collars)...ang worry ko lang since capital state siya baka karamihan sa mga trabaho dun kailangan Australian citizen ka

    I dont have idea. baka dipende sa skills at status. Kung kasama pati family kailangan may savings dahil mahal ang expenses dito. The government want to make sure na may budget kayo to pay rent and other needs while looking for work.

    Much better ask MARA about show money. Ang pagka alam ko pag may relative sponsor na work dito sa ACT di na kailangan ng show money. pero minsan dipende sa application. case to case basis naman ang application eh.

    457 Working visa ako nung dumating dito kaya no need show money kasi sponsored ako ng employer at work ako agad pagdating dito.

    if your brother in law dont have savings. try other state. Pero much better magtanung na agad sa MARA baka may paraan para dyan,

    Good luck. cheers

    @faa317: Based on ACT nomination guideline (March 2012) Declaration of Financial Capacity ang need nila, however, must be able to provide these documents on request by the SBM Unit.

    Furthermore, ACT Government advises that 'complete' applications (hard copy) should be lodged with our office by 1 May 2012 in order to be processed before the changes come into effect.

    @faa317: SBM stands for Skilled and Business Migration...Yup, in order to be processed.
    Then, applications submitted after 1 May 2012 are unlikely to be processed before the changes commence. Applicants who are not processed before the changes commence will need to complete a new application under the new skilled migration visa regime from 1 July 2012....ACT-Canberra ka din ba dear?

    @chiffonscarf opo, but still waiting for our Vetasses assesment result. I was so surprise when our agent told my brother in law who was also applying for canberra na need to have Aus 30,000.. If God's will na ma approve Vetasses result namin hindi rin kami makahabol. Hindi pa namin alam saan kukuha that big amount. Kayo po nasa canberra naba kyo?

    @chiffonscarf - same here tatlo rin kami. our agent ask us declare Aus 45k but hindi naman kailangan ng proof of evidence as long as pag mag hanap yung office may ready na ipapakita. Punta kami ng agent this week for notary, then submit requirements for sponsorship. Hoping ang praying that all will be smooth sailing. P U S H. ;)
