    Not sure sa ibang clinics pero sa SATA, kung may findings tatawagan ka para pumunta sa clinic then kausapin yung doctor. Depends sa findings. Halimbawa hindi clear yung XRAY, iinform ka lang nila then tanong tanong kung may TB history or kung may symptoms ka or something. Then sabihin nila, i-upload nila yung results na may findings sa ehealth then wait na lang sa advise ng DIAC for next steps (sputum tests for lung scarring or additional tests/medical records for other cases)

    Ic. Sa akin kasi for sure may scarring na makikita. Ang alam ko before ako xray iniinform ko yung xray technician about the history and di ko maalala kung may form na fill-up muna before medical para alam nila na may history ka na before. Hehe anyways salamat

    Hi Guys! Taga Pasir Ris Singapore po ako. I just got my visa 189 approve last week, yahoo!

    Tanong ko lng, bukod sa seek.com.au, paano at saan pa kyo naghahanap ng work?

    Tsaka para dun sa mga nagmove na sa Australia (e.g. Sydney or Mebourne), paano nyo pina ship yung mga gamit nyo sa Singapore to Sydney or Melbourne?

    you can also try careerone.com.au or gumtree.com.au pero seek.com.au ata ang the best. Halos lahat kc ng inaplayan ko non thru seek ko nakuha and even ung 1st job at etong current job ko s seek cla nag post.

    Nag try dn ako bumili non ng the herald na newspaper dto sa melbourne ung saturday edition may mga job postings dn.

    sa pagpapa ship ng gamit, hehehe wala kong alam, kc nung pumunta kami dto damit at laptop lang ang dala nmin, pero you can try na magtanong sa Post office dyan sa SG or ung mga ibang couriers company sa LP.

    hi buchok, ang gnawa po kc nmin non e nag book muna kami ng murang hostel for 7 days tapos dun sa 7 days na un dun kami nghanap ng marerentahan ng room. Room muna kc ang hirap pag mag rerent ka na ng unit dahil kelangan mo ma meet ung 100 pts ID system ng mga house agents. Ayun within 7 days nman may mabait n nagpa renta sa min ng room, napakiusapan nmin na new migrants lang kami at initially usapan nmin e 2 months lang muna kami mag rent kc pag wala ko nahanap na work ng 2 months balik SG pag nakahanap ko ng work tutuloy nmin ung pagrent, pumayag nman ung landlord, through gumtree ko nahanap ung 1st landlord nmin.....nung time na un ang rent ay 800/mo pero malaking room at kasama ung PUB. Then nung nakahanap na ko ng work tsaka kami nag rent ng sariling unit :)
    Pero importante kung wala ka pang car pagdating dto at least malapit sa public transpo ung house at ung papasukan mo. Kung sa city ung office ok lang pero kung tipong industrial zone ka mag wo work ang hirap pag walang sasakyan :)

    Sensya na dami kong tanong hehe, we're still planning na din kasi ang big move :) Salamat!
    Sa gumtree.com.au ko po nahanap ung room for rent na yon, you can try dn wimdu na website, wimdu.com.au para sa mga temporary accommodation. Kung wala kang relatives or kakilala na mag accommodate sau, I suggest na maghostel or budget hotel k muna rather than mag book agad sa wimdu or gumtree. Kc ung experience nmin nung nag vi view na kami nung mga na shortlist nmin sa gumtree ang ganda sa picture pero nung actual na nag inspect kami may iba na ang dugyot ng room. Yup after 1 month stay dto nakahanap ako ng work, kaya nagtuloy ung pag rent nmin dun at di na ko bumalik ng SG,. Dto ko na dn sa Au gnawa ung pag renounce ng SG PR ko.

    @ buchock - eto po ung 100 pts ID system,

    EACH APPLICANT MUST ACHIEVE A MINIMUM OF 100 POINTS
    Last 4 Rent Receipts - 50 Points
    Drivers License - 40 Points
    Copy of Birth Certificate - 30 Points
    Passport - 30 Points
    Medicare/Healthcare Card - 30 Points
    Current Registration Papers (car) - 10 Points
    Previous Bank Statement - 10 Points
    Bills issued in AU under your name (ex. electricity, gas, etc) - 10 Points

    Kung sa melbourne po ang target mo, you can try St. Kilda or Windor pero mahal ang renta but malapit sa CBD at convenient ang transpo dahil sa trams at buses, meron ding mga suburbs gaya ng Northcote, at Preston sa west yata tong suburbs na to pero mga 15 mins from CBD at accessible pa sa tram at train, pero if you move sa East gaya dto sa amin train at bus lang at malayo sa city 30mins drive kami from the city pero convenient drive to my workplace at mura pa ung renta at oks yung unit, at walking distance lang sa shopping center so depende sa suburb at magiging workplace mo. I heard ung mga karamihan ng pinoy marami daw sa suburb ng St. Albans pero sa pagkaalam ko medyo malayo dn to sa city. You can explore ung map ng metro (metrotrain.com.au) para makita mo ung network ng trains/trams. Tsaka pala usually ung train station medyo malayo sa mga housing area kaya gnagawa ng mga tao lalo ung mga nga wo work sa city, iniiwan nla ung car sa parking spaces ng station then nag te train cla papunta ng city. At 1 dn rason dahil sobrang mahal ng parking sa city pag weekdays, tipong AUD 15/hour dun sa mga private parking gaya nung Wilson.


    Nakupo, mahirap ang public transpo dto kaya necessity tlaga ang sasakyan lalo na kung malayo ung workplace mo sa house mo. Ndi katulad ng SG na every 3-5 mins may bus na dto swerte na kung 10-15 mins at buti kung summer or autumn pero gaya ngayong winter na at ang lamig pati maulan, ang hirap mag antay ulit pag na miss ung bus. Na experience ko non wala pa kong sasakyan then na miss ko ung bus kc absent ung co worker ko na syang nag dro drop sa kin sa bus stop, 30 mins ung interval para sa sunod na bus, kaya un no choice kundi mag antay. Taxi dto sobrang mahal at sobrang bilis ng patak ng metro hehehe :)

    @happyinmelbourne34 sa AU na po kay ng renounce ng SG PR? paano po ba ang process kung nsa AU na?
    eto po ung gnawa ko.

    1. Finorward ko po ung mga requirements sa SG embassy sa Canberra.


    heto po ung info from website ng SG embassy
    http://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/overseasmission/canberra/consular_services/renunciation_of_singapore_permanent_residency.html


    Renunciation of Singapore Permanent Residency
    If you wish to renounce your Singapore Permanent Residency, please forward the following documents (original copy) to us:-

    Singapore Blue NRIC
    Old & Current Passport
    Entry Permit/Re-Entry Permit
    Employment Pass(es)/Work Permit
    Dependent Pass(es)
    Certificate of Identity (if applicable)
    A letter addressed to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), indicating your wish to renounce your Permanent Residency status. Please also provide your daytime contact details and address.
    Any other relevant documents issued to you by the Singapore Government agencies such as ICA, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Manpower, etc.
    Please speak to Australian Post or a courier company to arrange safe transport. The Singapore High Commission is not liable or bear any responsibilities for the loss of any travel documents (including passports) and identification papers (including ID, birth certificates, married certificates, contract, etc) sent by mail or courier. We encourage you to forward the above documents at our office in person. However, if you choose to forward the documents by post, please send by registered mail or reliable courier service. Please also enclose a self-addressed stamped return envelope for us to return your passports by post.

    You will be informed by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority once your Permanent Residency has been successfully renounced. No fee will be charged for the renunciation of PR.

    2. Tapos po inantay ko ung acknowledgement letter ng ICA na successfully renounced na ung PR ko then nag apply po ako online dun sa withdrawal ng CPF muna. Then nung dumating na po ung letter from ICA, pinadala ko ung copy sa CPF plus ung iba pang mga requirements then nung na credit na po nung CPF tinransfer ko na lang via online banking sa bank acct ko dto.

    Hi Everyone, im new here :) SG based din po. Puede po bang magtanong? kasi may CO allocated na for our application. Then nanghingi sya ng PC and health req. Tpos nagreply ako sa kanya kasi ako ung nakatanggap ng email at hindi ung hubby ko which is the main applicant. Tinanong ko bakit hindi nakakatanggap ung hubby ko ng email from them. mag-1 month na po ung email ko pero hindi pa rin sya sumasagot. Is it advisable na tawagan ko na sya?

    Kakapass lng namin ng requested docs via email yesterday, worry ko baka hindi nya natatanggap ung mga emails ko eh. Inemail nyo lng din ba ung PCC nyo or in-upload nyo sa eVisa?

    Also, di ko macheck ung status namin online kasi laging unavailable kapag kini-click ko na ung next after entering the desired info. Ako lng po ba nakaka-experience nito? Kayo po ba nakakacheck ng status online?

    Salamat po sa mga magrerespond

    @sydneyblued - wala kc kong drivers license non kaya ang prinesent ko lang dun sa house agent ay ung birth certificate, passport ko, medicare card so 90 pts na sya para ma complete ko ung 10 pts isinama ko na dn ung offer of employment dun sa 2nd job ko pati payslips dun sa 1st job, 10 pts dn yata equivalent nyan at ung acknowledgment letter from bank NAB. Nag open kc ko sa kanila ng acct habang andyan pa ko non sa SG, ok nman sa agent.

    Ung license d ko sure kung pwede ung PH license sa pagkaalam ko dapat Oz, mag convert k na lang agad pagdating dto. Pero pagkaalam ko pag PH license need mo mag actual drive test para ma i convert mo to Oz license. At least ok na dn kung actual drive test lang ang pagdadaanan mo ndi ganon kagastos, ako ko kc dto na ko natututo mag drive at haba ng process kelangan muna mag learners permit may computer exam pa medyo mahal ung bayad, tapos after ng learner, P (probationary) nman need ulit magbayad at mapasa ung computer exam tapos actual drive test at dapat pareho na maipasa para mabigyan ng probationary license. Hehehe, sobrang stress ko pa sa computer exam ng P-plate kc naka 3 re-take ako bago ko pumasa buti ung actual drive test pasado ko ng 1st take. Sa Vicroads ito, pero alam ko halos parehos lang ung system sa ibang states ng pagkuha ng license.

    Yup, I strongly suggest na kung may family ka may 1 muna mauna para makapaghanap ng work at mag prepare ng place to stay. Importante work muna then ung place medyo madali nman na mag rent ng sariling flat pag may work na at least ma ga gauge mo kung gano ka accessible sa workplace mo, schools ng mga bata, at iba pa.

    @happyinmelbourne34 thank you po, mga gaano po katagal ang pag process till CPF withdrawal

    hi RobertSG, inabot dn po ng 1 1/2 months bung entire process, kc late May ako nag withdraw ng PR then nakuha ko ung CPF ko ng mga early July. Pero kasama na po dto ung pag-aantay ko nung mail from Embassy then wait ng mail para acknowledgment fr ICA, CPF. Sabi ko kc non ayaw ko muna i withdraw since natatakot pa ko non na baka d ako magka work dto, tsaka ung baon nmin non e for 2 months lang tlaga pag walang nakuha na work e babalik ng SG :)

    If medyo need mo ung CPF money, habang dyan ka pa withdraw mo na since mabilis lang pag dyan, within 10-12 working days lang yata ma pro process na ng CPF.

    @ jengrata, may binigay ba na specific na number ung CO mo? If wala at ung hotline number ka ng DIAC tatawag, suggestion lang na agahan mo ung pagtawag sa kanila nakalimutan ko kung anong oras ang start nila kung 8 o 8:30 ba. Na experience ko kc non tumawag ako sa DIAC non ng tanghali dto para mag inquire regarding sa partner visa, more than 30 minutes ako nag antay para sa customer rep. Pero naalala ko nung nagkaron ng case officer ung partner ko at ni require sya mag medical test, dun sa letter nya sa min meron syang sariling extension line. Sabi dun sa letter na within 1 month dapat makapag medical sya at ma provide ung PCC, kung ma dedelay daw eh i-inform sya agad. Medyo kinapos ung 1 month kc may nakita dun s medical result ng partner ko kaya need nya to undergo further testing at ung PCC nya na delay dn kaya tnawagan ko ung case officer dun sa sarili nyang extension at ok lang nman daw at naka reflect sa computer system nla na nag undergo na sya ng medical at need ng further testing.

    ur welcome sydneyblued :) ...don't worry makakahanap ka nyan basta dasal at tyaga lang. Try ka dn apply online habang andyan k p pa although bihira ung employer na tumatanggap. Nung nasa SG pa ko, i tried na mag apply may mga tumawag nman for interview pero sinabihan dn ako ng HR na nag interview sa kin na better na tingnan ko daw muna ung location hehehe kc sa Wyalla ung lugar, nung gingoogle ko after ng phone interview sobrang dulo na pala ng South Australia at kumbaga sa Pinas e probinsya at sobrang layo sa kabihasnan.

    Under k ba ng state sponsorship Or nakapag visit k na ng Sydney before? Kc kung d ka nman under state sponsorship, I also suggest na at least visit ung key cities dto then you decide kung san mo gusto mag settle. Hehehe, d ko kc gnawa non basta wala lang naisipan lang nmin na Melbourne dahil dun pamphlet n binigay s kin nung agent ko na sabi multi cultural. Pero cguro kung gnawa ko yun, baka sa Queensland kami nag settle dahil sa weather. Sobrang gnaw kc ng winter dto sa Melbourne, sa mga key cities pangalawa yata to sa Hobart sa pinakamalamig during winter sa Queensland mild lang daw. Anyway, tingnan ko kung after 2-3 yrs maka transfer interstate :)
