    ka-SG, how do you ship your things from SG to Adelaide if example 1 box lang na ang size niya is yung parang Jumbo sa LBC? So it means hindi madami, pero mabigat, so not practical for check-in mo :(

    Hi PR rin ako dito sa sg with a 3yr old son. First Check MO muna ung long term goal nyo as family. If ur planning to get citizenship or eventually going back to phils to retire. Kasi if PR sa sg lng ung pagusapan OK rin Un, however at age 60 if ur not bankable na sg will not renew ur PR and u have to go back to phils. Ganun din sa Aus. However, in Aus u can get a citizenship after 3 or 4yrs of stay there. Sa sg kasi wala criteria ang app for citizenship di sure if they will approve or not. I have PR friends who are working in LTA for 20yrs now and still can't get their citizen and ung PR ng youngest nila di na rin MA approve. That's the difficult part in sg wala kasiguraduhan.
    Pero kung plan nyo naman na mag retire sa Pinas OK na rin sa Sg kau. How about education? Maganda rin kasi ang education sa Aus compared sa sg. Stress-free. Ung public transpo in Aus, preferably is to drive ur own car it's easy to move around. Sg is short term for me unless u get ur citizenship in sg. And wala work life style balance. Goodluck sa planning nyo.
    meron pala nito dito. eto yung tanong ko sa thread na sinimulan ko. baka mas madaming makapagbigay ng opinion dito.

    "Hello guys, me and my family (with 5yo son) are already settled here in singapore. We are PR with our own home and with a good houshold income.
    Meron ba ditong makakapagbigay comparison between living in these 2 countries based on experience?
    Im just basing on some blogs na nagsasabi na pub transpo in Aus is not that good and cost of living is almost the same with SG. Pati owning a house is expensive."
    @Azriel You put all my thoughts into words :) Shoot! Sana makalipat din kami from SG to AU

    @rohani99 anyone had any experience here na sa seven seas? Ako naman nagpa quote na sa Astro and it's $1,400 per cubic meter. Since wala pang address din sa Adelaide we might put it in a storage mung na $150 per month and deliver it when we have a definite address.

    @IslanderndCity hmMm kelan definite date of arrival mo? Ako ang problema ko lang is wala pang address on where to forward it pa. I'm open na isabay mo gamit mo of course provided na we share the cost or you pay on the size you consumed instead of paying the minimum $1400. Let me know what you think or PM me

    so we have decided na din po to make the initial step for migration sa OZ land. Will be submitting advisory service sa vetassess kc naguguluhan ako if PM or Proj builder or building associate iapply ko sa nominated skill. Eto un profile ko:
    age: 25 pts
    educ: bs architecture, UST 15pts?
    work ex: 1.5 years Senior Designer/Project Supervisor (Interior Fit Outs)
    .5 years Designer/project supervisor (interior fit outs)
    1 year Arch Assistant
    6 years Designer
    all work ex stated obtained in Sg...im assuming 0 or 5 points lang ako sa work ex kc yun 2 years na proj supervision lang ma credit sa skills ko.
    IELTS/PTE: 10 pts (passing)

    option 1: if 5 points will be credited to work ex
    25+15+5+10=55+5 (SS) = 60 visa 190

    option 2:if 0 points
    25+15+0+10=50, will need wife (arki draftsperson) to be assess as well
    50+5(partner skills) + 5(SS) = 60 visa 190

    or ace the IELTS/PTE hehehe
    25+15+0+20=60 visa 189.

    Any feedback/comment will be greatly appreciated. salamat po

    Hi po I am a newbie here. Ask lang sana ako ng advice d2. Last wk nakakuha ako ng NSW invite then nomination submitted tas now waiting for approval. Nung malaman ng employer q they wld like to offer me employment sa QLD under Visa 457. It feels like torn between 2 lovers. Though gusto ko sana yung may job offer para may work na agad pagdating dun but of kors gugustuhin ko rin na PR na agad yung status namin kaysa magstart ako ng working visa. Problema pa naman ngayon is yung timing kasi gusto nla na magjoin na ako by this coming June. I am abit confused kasi d ako sure kun ano ba dapat yung iprioritoze ko. Pwd po ba pagsabayin iapply ang visa 457 at visa 190? May transition po ba na fr work visa tas after few months maapproved na din yung Visa 190? Ur comments & advice wld be greatly appreciated

    @xteen091 very rare case na now a days ang 457 Visa, just my suggestion, take that path kasi mas murang path yan towards PRship but on the negative side, need mo mag invest ng time, dahil may required years before ka makaag apply ng PR from 457->PR. as compared to 190. PR ka agad. on the negative side rin naman ng 190 you will have to undergo the long process and waiting maapprove ang 190 mo. hindi biro ang path to 190 because you have to invest alot of time rin sa pag asikaso (IELTS, documents gathering for skills assessment, and other requirements ...) at higit sa lahat. mahal ang fee for 190. up to you really what suits you. kung marami kang kaperahan, go with 190 plus agent. other wise go the 457 route. - This is just my opinion , other opinions are welcome. :)>-

    @zapped same boat po kami. PR, bought our house here in SG... Right now sobrang hirap na kahit PR dito sa SG, lalo na lumalaki ang family. We started contemplating na mag OZ when we heard na sobrang hirap na makakuha slot sa school. I have a 3 year old son and one coming up...so isip isip. Dati ayaw pa ni misis, but now sya na yun pursigido. I started collecting CoE from my present and previous employers. pa assess muna ako sa advisory service ni Vetassess. i'm in the Interior Fit outs Design and Build Industry (2 years as Project Supervisior) previous to that (Arch Designer 7 years)..BS Arch ako. try ko pa nominate un CPM/Project Builder kahit mas maikli un experience ko sa proj management para mas madami option Visa 189 or 190.

    @engineer20 oo nga sir, biruin mo, kami ni Misis almost 8 years na PR dito tapos anak namin di PR?! i mean , where's the logic? Eh ang hirap magpa aral dito if considered foreigner ang anak.We also contemplate na mag SG citizen, pro considering all the circumstances at yun success rate at bilis ng pag approve, mas maganda pa na makipagsapalaran pag apply ng Oz visa.
