    @psychoboy Parang walang magandang hinaharap sa Singapore kung magpapamilya imo hehe...Kumuha na lang kayo ng Australian Citizenship. May pinapasang legislation sa Australia ngayon na bigyan ng equal access / rights ang Aussie at Kiwi sa kani-kanilang bansa.. So in the future, it's very likely that you can go to either countries with just one citizenship :)

    Of course @LokiJr Sir... Eventually mag-apply kami ng Oz Citizenship; start from scratch muna for now. Get there, find a job, get settle, have kids (na Australian by birth), buy a house and prolly apply for Citizenship after 4 years. :)

    If I managed to get all those in 4 years then it will really be a BIG CIRCLE...

    4 years na rin ako now sa Singapore; all I managed to do was (1) travel, (2) get married, (3) bought a property, and (4) saved some amount - na gamiting baon sa Australia...

    Quiet nice to be honest but at some point, you need stability, you need something that is sustainable for the future... I hope moving to Oz is the one! :)

    @psychoboy big time pala kayo, property investor hehehe!

    Ang isa pang nagustuhan ko sa Australia magiging interchangeable na yung job skills / experience mo sa New Zealand, so parang mas pabor na yung Aussie citizenship kesa sa Green Card ng U.S. (in terms of access and convenience, at least) hehe

    Other factors bakit ok Australia Citizenship is alam ko pwede dual citizenship Pinoy at Oz. Also mas madali mag US if you want to work someday because of E-3 visa, better version ng H1b daw.

    Pero mas ok ba talga Oz kesa Canada? hehe

    this post is really interesting :) hopefully, me & my wife will have AU visa grant soon. Been working in SG since 2006 and my PR will expire next year :) got no plans to renew as my wife's PR has been rejected for the 4th time ... I think that is the sign that we should try our luck in other countries, maybe to start a small family soon / have baby. Unlike here in SG, it is indeed too difficult to start one due to high cost of living and PR benefits has becoming less amusing. Good Luck sa ating mga AU Visa aspirants! O:-)

    SOBRANG LAMIG! :) Nakakatuwa lang daw snow sa una sa Canada pero eventually isusumpa mo na. :)

    To add to that, in terms of PR application, mas mahal ang bayad (per head); mas matagal ang processing (3-5 years); may show money na per head din.
    kahit nasabi na ni @aldousnow...ulitin ko lang ulit...MASYADONG MALAMIG! :)

    lol. Pa Oz na talaga ako, naghahanap lang ng isang reply na magcoconvince talaga sa akin hahaha. Goodluck sa IELTS mo sa January ako naman kukuha.
    1. Mas mababa ang sahod ng Accountant sa Canada kesa sa AU. (not sure about IT)
    2. Masyado malamig

    Canada mas malayo sa Pinas. OZ mas malapit & may mga budget airlines na.

    Sa mga nakakausap kong mga kaibigan na mapapalad at nalibot na ang 'mundo', sabi nila pinaka-malaking problema sa pagtira sa Canada bukod sa klima ay yung gamit nilang wika...may mga rehiyon daw na non-english speaking so magiging problema yun.

    Di tulad sa Australia, dudugo siguro ilong sa accent pero masasanay rin hehe...

    But in terms of economy, Canada is **slightly** better than Australia :)

    Hehe ayoko rin maniwala pero that's how most analysts see Canada in comparison to Australia. Mas volatile yung growth prospect kasi ng minerals (Australia) kaysa sa oil (Canada) tapos may rumors na patago yung quantitative easing na ginagawa ng RBA.

    But that's just numbers talking...ok naman lipatan ang parehong bansa hehe :)

    ang labo nga talaga e. inapply ko wife ko as "dependent of a PR"....rejected pa din.

    yung sa sister ko naman dito....she, her husband and their eldest daughter are all PR's. then nagka-baby girl ulit sila while they're here....inapply nila ng PR ang baby...rejected! di ko gets ang logic nila. hehehe

    Tama mga sir, nde na dn nmen ma-gets how to be eligible as SG PR. My wife been here for more than 5yrs, same company, ok dn ang sweldo, etc hehe pero ayaw tlaga. Sabe nia bka dw nde nakukuha name nia sa raffle draw ng immigration for PR :D though same company nia may mga Malaysians (male) na na-aprub. Which leads to bka over quota na tayung Pinoy PR dito (???) or bka ayaw nila pg babae (la logic)
