    @bronapple, for me i think you only compare salary - one aspect of shall i call 'good life'. Needless to say, there are many aspects to consider:
    1. education - primary & secondary public schools in oz are of 'quality' education. You only have to indulge educ expenses by the time ur kids reaches college. In Phils, you have to allocate educ expenses from ur savings.
    2. healthcare -Oz has the higest level of healthcare system. In Phils., walang pakialam ang gobyerno sayo, to me very minimal lng kasi ang maitulong ng philhealth. At ito ang kakain ng malaki sa savings mu in the long run, healthcare of ur family, kids.
    3. retirement-u gain more if u retire in Phils assuming oz citizen ka. Considering the value of ur money. U can still avail medicare in oz at elderly age. In Phils., SSS can't sustain ur needs esp. oldies are at high risk of health issues as we all know.
    4. future security-your kid's future are secured overall. In Phils., alam na natin yan.
    5. the place, gov't, environment, living safely (crime rates low), etc2. Oz has the edge over Phils.

    In summary, upon thorough comparison research, moving to oz will surely not disappoint you.
    These are the reasons why we have d

    @acrossborder We love the mixed culture in Australia and nasa Oz din mga friends/colleagues ni hubby from his previous company whos willing to help and accomodate us. Ang dami na nila dyan sa Oz isa isa nagsialisan dito sa pinas so that means something right? Kung may narating sila dun ibig sabihin may mararating din kami kung mgsisikap.

    @lock_code2004 sabi kc ng nakausap namin na migration agent in order to be granted an Australian Citizenship dapat 4years ka nsa Oz tama ba? E 5yrs lang ang PR so pg ngpunta kami jan wala na uwian ng pinas bahala na si batman hehe at si Lord syempre. Im not sure but I have this instinct that we will survive in Oz mkakakuha ng work si hubby and we will have a better life. Is that really an instinct or faith?

    @bronapple143 salamat din po sa reply. i know little sa Australia kasi. 1st country na naexperience ko kasi yung Canada which I have an idea how to live at the moment. nacurious lang ako how is it compared to Australia na I know good country din to migrate. based sa mga nabasa ko mas nagkaron po ako ng idea how is it to live sa Australia.

    1st choice ko Canada pero starting to consider Australia. Nasa Business Intelligence/Data Warehousing ang job ko at dami opportunity sa Canada and I think ganun din sa Australia.

    With regards to Pinas, I agree po dun sa mga di maganda especially kapag naexperience mo yung buhay sa ibang bansa pero meron parin talaga na masaya sa Pinas despite the problems here.

    @vhoythoy still pursuing Canada sir. I'll give it a try kung aabot pa sa cap if not ill check yung Express Entry kung swak sa requirements. kelangan ko parin kasi magwork ulit dito sa pinas para makaipon ng budget in case na mangyayari yung pagmigrate. So far ayun marami nako kilala sa Canada ngayon pero nung first time ko dun wala talaga and solo din.

    recent ko lang nakita yung sa Australia kasi. mas mabilis yung Australia although mas mahal compared sa Canada. Nagkainterest din ako itry pero ayun nga wala pa ko idea kung anu meron sa Australia kasi di pa nakakapunta. One consideration din pala, I want to give way din kasi na magkaron opportunity siblings ko na makapagwork abroad. parang mas mabilis ko matatry yun dito sa Australia dahil sa requirements mas straightforward at may chance na madali maattain nila. sa Canada kasi kahit ako may takot pa sa points hehe. downside lang mukang mas mahirap parents sa Oz,

    yes.. they have to enter together (before the initial entry deadline, normally 1 year after the visa grant date)..
    and of course comeback before the PR expiration date..
    remember as PR visa holder, you can stay indefinitely in AU (even after 5 yr visa expiration date)...

    @TheDreamer not really sir. as long as you have skilled experience sa eligible occupations. you just need to provide reference letters (parang sa ACS) including your employment details and job duties and responsibilities. ang pinagkaiba sa Australia wala pa sila assessment sa work experience so what you get from your employer na reference letters yun na yung gagamitin nila for assessment.

    if you go out of AU (after expiration of PR visa) and hindi ka pa citizen, you will need to apply for RRV- return resident visa... simple application na lang ito.. i think approx $500 and valid for up to 5 years..
