    @kabayan Hindi na kasi kami nakipag-usap sa CO, yung MARA agent namin ang kausap namin. In my opinion mukang wala ng naging requirements pang iba yung CO namin after i frontload lahat ng docs. Na notice ko din na medyo mabilis ang process at nadelay lang ng konti sa medicals at holiday break. In addition, kulang pa nga yung nasubmit kong ITR and Payslips pero hindi narin nirequire. I guess having a MARA agent helps somehow in speeding up the process, kasi may nabasa ako na authorized sila ng DIAC to authenticate the applicant's documents, kaya siguro wala na masyadong tanong, yun nga lang may hefty fee. :)

    Una una lang kasi yan haha. Ako mas gusto ko canada kaso sarado accountants last year tapos unsure pa kung lalabas accountants this year. Tapos need ng show money dun wala ako. Ngaun open na canada pero may visa na ako at family ko sa Australia. Mabilis na din yata ngaun sa Canada at gagayahin nila process sa Australia. Actually you can be happy nman either countries, its just a matter of personal preference nlang talaga. Ako mas gusto ko dun kasi malapit sa US at UK hehehe. May pros and cons naman sa bawat lugar.

    Yun unang reason ko, matagal ang processing ng Canada. Pero mag start na din sila ng EOI kaya maging same na din ng Oz migration timeline. 2nd ang layo sa Pinas, mahal ang pamasahe though ang advantage naman is malapit sa US. Naisip ko naman, US tour lang naman ang aim ko so kaya ko pa rin makapunta sa US pag may Oz passport na ako :-)
    Pareho naman silang mayamang bansa, almost palagi nga sila magkasunod sa ranking sa world's highest quality of living.
    Basta ang importante kasama ko ang pamilya ko sa pupuntahan na bansa :-)

    Dagdag ko lang;
    For me, ang main reason, isa sa pinakamabilis and possible na maging PR ang path ng Oz migration.
    Nung time na nagkaron na ako ng pangarap, basta any country na mayaman, na makapagbibigay ng better life.
    Kasama sa list ng bansa na gusto ko ang USA, Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia, London, Paris…
    Among them, ang most possible sa occupation namin ni hubby is Australia and Canada.

    Then sa kakaresearch, katatanong, almost same lang naman ang kayang ibigay ng mayamang bansa.
    So kaya nun na approve na ang Oz Visa ng bestfriend ko, yun talaga ang naging motivation ko to start na ang application.
    Kasi pag Canada application, parang bibilang talaga ng more than 3 years.
    Pero sa ngayon daw bibilis na which is good para ating kababayans.

    Believe nga ako sa mga Pinoy na matagal na sa SG, na nagmigrate pa din, sila ang isa sa mga inspirasyon ko.
    Na may long term plan sila, na may concern sa future ng family lalo na for the good of their children.
    Kasi kun wala sila long term goal, I don’t think na mag risk pa sila kasi maayos na ang income at lifestyle nila sa SG,
    except lang sa ibang minor concern like stressful job, condo living, etc.

    Kaya nga pag may time na nag-iisip pa din ako kun pano harapin ang definitely brand new life, na aalis kami sa comfort zone,
    aila ang iniisip ko, tsaka yun mga relatives and kakilala ko na despite a very convenient life here in Phils, nagdecide pa din sila mag migrate.

    Hi Bookworm this is my friendly advise at sa iba pa na single na nagbabalak mag migrate dito. I learn that you need to have partner in life if you want to have those things to share paying all bills. If your not careful you will end up broke. You cannot pay all alone to your mortgage, car, tax and everything. Bago ka pumunta dito dapat may bf kana o gf o asawa. If you don't have plans to have a partner better to stay in the philippines lalo na kapag walang kamaganak dito. Cheers, God bless.

    "Wise men learn from their mistakes, but wiser men learn from the mistakes of others."

    Ako, ang pinaka purpose ko yung makabili ng bahay at magandang health care and pension. Walang wala nyan sa pinas e.
    Single ako so wala akong aasahang anak na mag aalaga sa akin pag matanda na :)
    Hi Bookworm this is my friendly advise at sa iba pa na single na nagbabalak mag migrate dito. I learn that you need to have partner in life if you want to have those things to share paying all bills. If not you will end up broke. You cannot pay all alone to your mortgage, car, tax and everything. Bago ka pumunta dito dapat may bf kana o asawa. If you dont have plans to have a partner better to stay there. Cheers, God bless.
    ganun? nag-worry naman ako sa "broke" heheh. I'll be migrating alone, single pero i don't have an intention to stay single for life naman. but most of the singles (40+ years old) i know have a very good life financially.

    @TotoyOZresident, hahaha actually, a friend and I will be moving together so magtutulungan kami. Does that help? :)
    Canberra din kami since ACT ang nag sponsor sa amin hehe
    Yeah very helpful yan pero its temporary. Kapag ang isa nagdecide na magpakasal, maiiwan ang sisa. Mabuti pa rin ang may partner (husband and wife) staka healthy. Its not easy to buy a house kung single ka. Titingnan ng Lender kung may kakayahan ka magbayad ng mortgage. Mataas ang standard of living dito sa Australia dipende kung saan state. Ang Properties every year tumataas. Ang expenses tumataas din dipende sa lifestyle. kaya habang nandyan kayo sa Pinas or saan mang abroad. Manligaw na kayo kung lalake kayo. Kung babae naman kayo magpaligaw na rin. :D para puede nyo ituloy ang communication kahit na nandito kayo para hindi rin kayo malungkot. Kasi baka wala na kayong time magpaligaw o manligaw kapag nandito na kayo. Staka kung dito kayo maghahanap baka mahirapan kayo makahanap ng single. Kung maka tyempo naman kayo baka choosy naman yun. kung local nman ang ideal nyo ewan ko lang. Kaya kung nasa late 20s at early 30s kayo kailangan gawin nyo manligaw o magpaligaw na agad. I'm just telling the truth lang naman kung anu yung reality :D meow

    Dont worry loudandclear mabuti at nabasa mo ang forum na ito at nabigyan ka ng idea. Hehe... Pero its true if your not careful sa expenses mo at lending kung single ka then suddenly you need to send money to the Philippines. Naku nagkasabay sabay ang mga bills yung ang mahirap kailangan marunong sa strategy maparaan dapat. Pero kung may husband or wife at kagandahan nun nagtutulungan kayo. Physically, emotionally, financially at spiritually may kasama especially dito kahit matagal mo na sya kapitbahay ay hindi mo pa rin sya kilala. I think yung kilala mo na single baka may mga kamaganak nman sila dito pero kapag single at walang Immediate family yun ang mahirap. You need to find close friends here or if your Christian you need to have church as well attend bible study. Yun lang ang advise ko sa mga single kapag maganda nman work sa pinas at maganda din ang sahod at walang plano mag asawa better na mag stay sa Pinas, At kung nagbabalak nman mag migrate dito at single maghanap na dyan sa Pinas. Cheers :D

    Puede rin :D pero may mga nakilala ako eh single di nakapagasawa. Syempre hindi na puede bumalik ng Pilipinas kapag marami ka ng loans. Like housing loan car loan then marami ka dapat bayaran sa credit cards at mid 30s ka pa naku po. Tapos ma-realize mo mas okay ang work mo sa Pinas mataas ang position then ang salary mataas din. Then masasabi mo "Sana pala sa Pinas na ako. What am I doing here. What is my purpose here" :

    Syempre kapag dito kana magiiba ang pananaw mo sa buhay. Magiging choosy ka lalo kapag dito ka maghahanap. Staka hindi mo rin naman alam ang pananaw ng ibang single dito. If you want to look for a partner here kailangan dont isolate yourself. Makipag-socializing o kaya maging active sa church kung christian ka pero hindi guarantee yun na makahahanap ko o may maghahanap sayo kasi marami busy dito. Kung makipag socializing every friday night or weekend you have to make sure kilala ang sasamahan mo na grupo. It will end up sa Pinas pa rin maghahanap ng partner mo. Ngayun kung iisipin ng iba na makaipon muna or magkabahay bago makipag-relasyon o makapg asawa dahil single na migrate. Naku po my advise is have a relationship first then yung bahay at iba pa like travelling to follow na lang yun. I hope naliwanagan ang mga single migrant na walang bf or gf at walang immediate family here hehe... Yung single migrant na may kamaganak dito yun okay lang yun kasi matutulungan sya ng kanyang immidiate family financially and morally. You cannot be a succesful person here kung single ka lang dito you need to have partner in life para matutulungan kayo para maging balance ang life nyo dito sa Oz. cheers :D tanung tanung lang kayo sa akin yung mga single migrat here... hehe... life is a journey... Cheers. God bless....

    i think mahirap, kahit mga kakilala namin na matagal na dito hirap kumuha nang bahay kasi masyadong mahal. yung iba super layo na nang bahay nila, like 1 hr 30 or more to cbd, both are working pa nyan. how much more kung mag-isa ka lang and pag super layo na yung bahay mo stress ka na rin sa byahe, wala na yung sinasabing laidback and work-life balance kasi gabi ka na dumadating sa bahay and maaga ka aalis, unless makahanap ka nang work nearby.
