Are we making a good decision in moving to Australia?

Hi everyone... i think the BEST way to overcome doubts on moving to OZ is to watch Phil. news daily like TV patrol

You can proceed with PR application.. It will take another 1 yr..

Dont resign, get that promotion..

Pg may visa na, mag initial entry lang..

Pwede na maiwan ikaw at mga anak mo dito to decide kung okay ba ang life dito.. Tpos balik na si mister sa pinas..

Or balik lahat kayo sa pinas..

Pag okay p rin ang work ni mister, tuloy lang ng work sa pinas.. Pwde namn sya pumunta sa AU within 5 yrs ( bago mag expire ang PR visa), by that time naka ipon na kayo ng marami..

And nakadecide na ng mabuti kung gusto nyo pa ituloy ang PR at citizenship AU..
pde po pla na yung dependent muna maiwan at mgstay sa AU?
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)...

Thanks sir, additonal question po.. kapag nag-initial entry and di pa permanently mg-stay dun, may required no. Of days po ba to stay sa AU?

No required number of days to stay importante lang ung tatak ng Immigration officer. Pwede ka nga bumalik same day if gusto mo.

I see.. thanks, required po ba na sabay sabay mag-initial entry? Just received our grant today.. planning na for the big move..

lock_code2004 · October 2014

@just_g29 - read you visa grant, kung may mga conditions ang secondary applicants/dependents..

kung walang conditions, hindi naman required na sabay sabay.. kailangan lang mag entry lahat before the IED deadline..

congrats..

@dhey_almighty hello sir ask ko lang din po. Ano po ba required score nyo sa ielts so you can get favorable result sa assessing agency? I notice po kasi sa sequence nyo sabi nyo sa overall score sa IELTS "pwede na yan hehe". Di po ba sa pointing system e required 7 in all category?

bronapple143 · October 2014

what makes u interested to read about OZ? most pinoys who decide to get PRship here are interested in the balance of work and family life..

better surroundings and government and most importantly better life and education for our kids

dhey_almighty · October 2014

@bronapple143 uhm, kase ung sa case ko, pasok na ung points ko for state nomination, bale 55 points na even without a score from IELTS, kaya nasabi ko na "pwede na yan" :-) then +5 for the SS... :-)

ang alam ko e dapat 6 in all band ka dito sa WA...not so sure lang sa ibang states... :-)

Minimum requirement rin ng DIBP for skilled migration is at least 6 in all bands, but you won't be able to claim any points for it. Getting at least 7 in all bands gives you 10 points, 8 gets you 20.

Hi guys! Im just a new member in this forum. I guess I need advice from pinoys in Oz. We are pursuing permanent residency under skilled visa there in Oz. We have friends there whos willing to help us if we decided to move in, no relatives. My husband is the primary applicant and we are his dependents with our 2 kids 5 and 2 years old. He currently works as Operations Mnager in multinational company and earning 6 digits every month. He has a promotion waiting for him as he was told by his boss,their way of stopping him in leaving the company. Is it worth everything we have here if we pursue our Australian visa application? We know that once were there hubby shouldn't be too picky on jobs hes okay with that but we still have this little amount of hesitation and worries. Is it a good decision to start a new life in land down under?

Me and my wife had a 6 digit combined salary sa pinas but we still opt to migrate, inalok din yung wife ko ng mas magandang promotion if she chooses not to

i still can say best decision ever e... good climate siguro 75% of the year malamig maybe 3-4 months na mainit ... mas magandang work opportunity ( i guess we made the most of it ) .. good work environment can work at home can still spend some quality time to family .. makakauwi ka pa ng me araw pa ... I guess the only bad part here is malayo ka sa mga old friends and relatives pero I guess pagtagal tagal e dadami din kami

Hello po! Im actually new here. I sign up s southern immigration site. Then after some time they emailed me that I am prequalified for PR Visa or temporary visa to permanent residency. As per my understanding, permanent visa is granted for people na may mga business.

bookworm · October 2014

@mvmmanangan you are not "pre-qualified". Pre-qualified means you are in their system and you have had prior approval. That is their spiel to get you to sign up with them.
Maybe you have all the right qualifications and will pass the point requirements so you can apply for a permanent resident visa.

dhey_almighty · October 2014

@mvmmanangan pre-qualified?! ganun hahaha

sales talk lang nung agent un...sa PR visa, once na pasok ka sa points at ung job/profession mo e pasok din sa SOL nila then qualified ka to apply for a PR visa... not necessarily na may sarili kang business...its more of kung maganda at in-demand ang profession mo dito sa Oz... :-)

mvmmanangan · October 2014

@bookworm based sa email nila, i passed dun sa pointing system of Oz for PR visa.

mvmmanangan · October 2014

@dhey_almighty civil engineer po ako sir. And according sa email nila i passed the point system of Oz kaya pre-qualified daw ako.

dhey_almighty · October 2014

@mvmmanangan apply na pre...in demand yang profession mo dito.. :-)

pwede ka mag-agency...pwede rin na sariling sikap....basta magsipag ka lang magbasa dito sa forum :-)

mvmmanangan · October 2014

@dhey_almighty Im planning po na sariling sikap nalang. May thread po ba dito na makakatulong makahanap ng work once nasa Oz n ako?

mvmmanangan · October 2014

TasBurrfoot · October 2014

Sir/Madam, sino po dito may sample ng CDR for Civil Engineer?

You are in the wrong thread I believe...

a little query on the top right section of this page (google search bar) will give you the answers you are looking for.

bronapple143 · October 2014

@bronapple143 hello. Magaganda ung comments something you might want to consider

Hindi naglalayo ang case naten actually. My wife and I have been living in dubai for years now, each earning a six digit salary and hold management positions. Needless to say we are having a good career and living a good life.

However, the reason kaya kami nagdecide na mag apply sa OZ is para sa future ng mga anak namin. Dito, hindi sila magiging citizen. At base sa mga experiences ko, andaming benefits if you are a citizen of a first world and english is your first language. We want our children to experience those benefits.

CPAA din po assessing agency ng hubby ko. If I may ask ano po required IELTS score to get favorable result?

bronapple143 · October 2014

Mas complicated nga kung galing ka ng ibang bansa then moving to Australia. Like here in Singapore, personally there's more to offer than Australia in other areas (i.e. weather, savings, crime rate, nightlife, shopping, overall convenience, transpo, proximity to pinas, food, etc.). I have ex-colleague who is currently working in Qatar and planning to move to Australia pero very hesitant sya kasi sobrang ok din salary nya dun plus perks (expat package) with senior position. Unless you are very sure and willing to take the risks/ unknown then its the time to move. Expect less and you gain more.

If my hubby will stay longer in his company he might get an expat position but were not sure if we can go with him that's why we don't consider it. Singapore? He can get a job there but can we stay there permanently? Unlike in AU you will get citizenship after quite some time.

bronapple143 · October 2014

ako, i've worked in singapore for almost 6 years. maganda ang salary. yun lang, sulit ka sa mga chinese bosses mo. haha. minsan di ko alam pinagkaiba ng sunday sa monday. trabaho, bahay, laba, luto, repeat. pero stagnant ang career ko dito. i will never be a registered surveyor. they take care of their own and their numbers are kept intentionally small. sa australia, i can go back to school, get good experience and in the foreseeable future be registered. even kahit hindi na. the salary working in australia is better than singapore, light years better than pinas. ang australian labor laws much better than singapore which is really employer-centric. another thing is safety. nasa pinas ako ngayon, nagpapahinga before the big move. mapapanuod mo sa tv. rape, carnapping, murder, hulidap, riding in tandem. susginoo! suko na ako. it pains me to say, hopeless na ang pilipinas. the middle class knows this & is migrating by the bucket loads. just my two cents.

Totally agree hopeless na pinas kasi nasa kultura na natin bulok na Sistema
