@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

@gmad06 natawa po ako sa "hindi ko talaga magets logic ng disappointment nila" HAHA!!
@paupau29 wow.. 20pts sa IELTS..mapabilis yung invite mo nyan..sunod2x na yan.
Anyway, bottom line is the only risk you will be taking is coming here na walang trabaho. After makakuha ng decent job, everything will fall into place.

@dhey_almighty Willing po isacrifice ni hubby kung ano meron sya ngyn in terms of his career para sa mga kids namin.nakakasawa na marinig sa balita mga corruption at bulok na sistema ng gobyerno dito sa pinas.maginhawa nga kami pero pglabas mo nman ng bahay ang makikita mo e traffic, slum, mga basura, sira sirang kalsada.siguro kpag naprogram mo na isip mo na pupunta ka na ng ibang bansa like Oz lahat ng kapangitan ng pilipinas makikita mo e.Thank you po sa insights dina po mgbabago decision namin. Were going to Oz ;;)
@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?

@vhoythoy salamat sir. nakita ko na. mahaba haba nga na thread pero very informative.
acrossborderLos Angeles Posts: 30Member Joined: Aug 05, 2014
@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.
@gmad06 tinataasan ko lang po pangarap ko kasi may visa date of effect / tight ceiling ung occupation ko! HAHA sa october 3 ko pa po malalaman kung magkakatotoo yan. :-)

Yup dapat naka 4 yrs to be citizen, 5 yrs ang PR validity.. Pero pwde naman na magsettle kyo dito bago matpos ang 5yr expiry date.. You can stay indefinitely sa AU even after the 5 yr visa .. Mahabang explanation pero pwede un..

@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..

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.

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,
