One of the VP also in our bank, despite the fact that he is caucasian, he also got ta response in less than 2 months in a thin envelope.
I could imagine it would even be harder I believe to get the SG Citizenship...
and yeah, there is no such thing as a dual citizenship for Singaporeans!

Walang kasi halos infectious diseases na nakakapasok - like H1N1 or SARS. I supposed ganun din sa NZ.
Naalala ko early 90's may mga taong nagka-TB dito, but they found out na most of them galing holiday overseas. Mga 6 na tao lang pero very alarming for them kaya nasa news pa.

Beyond comparison pero I can't help not to compare, ang 1 dollar dito makakabili ng 1 bag of apple, or 1 bag of carrots, or 1 loaf of sliced bread, or a carton of milk or juice, whereas sa Pilipinas ang piso candy lang ang mabibili.

Ako yung primary applicant and ICT Business Analyst ang skill ko. Bakit gusto namin sa AU? Originally dapat sa NZ kami mag-susubmit ng application, nag-submit na nga ako ng Partial Assessment nung Saturday, kaso kagabi lang namin napag-isip isip na mas okay sa AU. Eto yung mga reasons why AU ang pinili namin:
1. Ang NZ it's either residence visa or job search visa ang ibibigay sayo. Pag job search visa, kailangan within 9 months ng approval makahanap ka ng stable work na related sa skill mo tapos yung family members na kasama sa application ang visa nila limited lang (di ko masyadong na-research etong part na to, pero most likely pwede lang silang pumasok sa NZ on Tourist Visa). Sa AU pag na-approve ka residence visa agad.
2. Sa NZ hindi nga initially required ang IELTS, pero depende sa officer na matapat sayo, pwedeng i-require kayo ng partner mo na mag-take ng IELTS. At least sa AU upfront alam mo ng kailangan mo mag IELTS tapos ang partner hindi naman required mag IELTS kung hindi ka din magke-claim ng points.
3. Sa NZ pag hindi accredited ang school mo, kailangan mo magpa-assess ng skills. Ganun din naman sa AU kaso mas mahal sa NZ pag kinonvert ang assessment. For an IT Professional ang cost ng assessment sa NZ is around 580 AUD. Tapos madami pa ako nababasa na yung assessment na binibigay sa kanila minsan Level 5 lang kahit Bachelor's Degree. Eh pag IT Pro kailangan mo ng assessment na at least Level 7 para mag-claim ng bonus points. Sa AU parang halos wala pa akong nababasa na negative ang assessment ng ACS.
4. Walang interview with the case officer sa AU! Mas mabilis din ang approval ng Visa. Sa NZ ang timeline from the time na mag-submit ka ng EOI until ma-approve eh ang shortest is 1 year based sa mga nabasa ko. Eh mainipin pa naman ako.
5. Walang bayad ang EOI sa AU.
6. Kinompute namin ang immigration expenses ng AU and NZ and mas mura ng around 87K Pesos ang cost for AU. Yung difference is hindi kasama yung settlement fund for NZ ha, yung cost lang talaga ng immigration application. Mas mahal nga ang Visa Lodgement fee ng AU pero sa NZ naman may bayad ang EOI tapos may bayad din ang invitation to apply. Meron pang migrant levy.
7. Mas malaki ang sweldo sa AU.
8. May IKEA sa AU sa NZ wala!! Seryoso, isinama ko ito sa Pro's and Con's list namin. Haha!

Earlier this year, me and my wife tried applying for NZ PR - nagbayad na kami ng EOI and we had our IELTS already as well. We were hopefully na mabigyan ng invitation, however they informed as that the work experience of my wife cannot claim for points hence we were placed on the waiting list. It went on for 2 months until the school of my wife was dislodged from the list of qualified schools... Ayun that was the nail in the coffin.
Short to say, last July our EOI in NZ has already expired. Buti nalang we got the chance to visit Australia for a quick vacation (sometime last June), we quickly fell in love with the place but we did not think of applying yet as we were still "traumatized" with our NZ experience.
Sa pagikot-ikot namin, we met 2 Filipinos who were based in Melbourne. They gave us the courage and inspiration to research and apply about getting a skilled migrant visa. Ayun, when we arrived back here in Singapore, I researched thoroughly about the whole process and became more active in this forum...
And the rest they say is history!
And yeah, I have repeated this again and again in previous post but I am proud to say that Singapore has rejected me and my wife's PR application TWICE...
THings happen for a reason; in our case, we were denied SG and NZ PR because probably AU is meant for us. As and when that is really the case, we shall see when we arrive next April. For now, I can only hope that sana ito na nga...

Yun nga isa pang mahirap sa NZ, may bayad na yung EOI mabilis pa mag-expire. Nakaka-inspire yung timeline nyo ang bilis! Normal ba yan assuming na maprovide mo lahat ng documents required? Very hopeful kaming mag-asawa na mabigyan ng chance mag-migrate sa AU. With God's help sana by January 2014 makalipat na kami sa AU.

However, we were given an invite kasi some weeks back wherein 2K per month and iniinvite nila to lodge an application. Sa Sept rounds naman, a total of 1K where invited. Ngayon for the whole of November, 3K and target nila na iinvite.
By December cguro, they will increase it again - what this mean is that, it may require DIAC some more time in order to process an application. With the numbers of CO constant and the number of applications increasing, normal lang na tataas ang turn-around time nila.
Hopefully though it should not be like before wherein it will take months...
Goodluck to you!!
