    @jamuu04 - hindi ako naka-experience ng referral sa MOC . Pero try mo nalang i-call ang DIBP and ask for update since 2 months na mahigit iyan

    @mann - congratz kabayan. Dami nga talagang OFW sa SG na lumilipat sa Australia. Though maganda naman talaga ang SG pero in the long run, mahirap pa rin maging permanent. Eka nga nila rito, pang-ipon lang talaga ng pera before migrating to Canada/Australia at sa ibang countries.

    May mga nagtatagal rin naman rito at nagiging citizen na. So case to case basis nga talaga.

    Personally, 3 years+ palang ako rito sa SG pero nag-decide na ako mag-apply ng PR sa Aus. Hirap na kasing maging PR rito at yung mga tropa ko na nag-apply ay laging nare-reject not just once pero twice and trice. Eh sa Aus, kahit wala pa ako doon eh nakakuha na kaagad ako ng PR.

    Monetary-wise, ang sabi nila ay mas malaki raw ang net income rito sa SG dahil mababa ang tax. Pero na-calculate ko sa paycalculator.com.au at sa mga nabanggit ng tropa ko sa Sydney na kahit malaki ang tax eh mas malaki rin naman ang gross income.

    Dito sa SG, hirap makakuha ng 100k per annum na sahod sa tulad kong may 6-8 years experience pero yung mga tropa ko sa Sydney ay nakaka-kuha ng 130k-150k na salary. Na-confirm ko ito nung nagche check ako sa seek.com.au


    Okay, medyo mahaba na yata ang comments ko hehe. In conclusion, okay ang Singapore at Australia. Case to case basis nalang siguro ang labanan.

    @mistakenidentity thank you and congrats din! :)

    question po, yung mga nasa pinas na may visa na, nagpunta ba kayo sa CFO for seminar and sticker? Need pa po ba talaga ng sticker?

    And IED namin 2 April 2015, ang bilis 6mos lang binigay sa min ng CO. Hindi ko alam san nya ni-base kasi June naman kami nag lodge. And lahat ng clearances namin after kami ng lodge kumuha. Sobrang gahol tuloy kami kasi 3rd week ng March pa yun tapos ng kids sa school. Konting panahon na lang kami makakapag-ipon.

    @perfectbeauty - yes, need raw talaga yung CFO Sticker kung pupunta sa Aus from Pinas as PR for the first time.

    Mabilis lang naman ang process. Mga 2 hours ang seminar at base sa aking experience, informative naman ito. May booklet rin silang pinamimigay.

    Marami rin akong nakilala na pinoy sa seminar so okay sya para makakilala ng kasabayan.

    @danz1213 - kabayan good day, yung ni-claim ko kasi is 10 point dahil more than 5 years ang experience ko since nag-work ako noong 2007 pa. Kaso, according sa DIAC , 3+ years lang daw dahil yung nakalagay sa ACS result ko eh "considered skilled as of 2009".

    Hindi ko naman sinasadyang mag over claim ng points dahil totoo namang more than 5 years ang experience ko, hindi ko lang naintindihan na dapat, yung na -declare ko sa EOI ay exactly the same sa ACS. Ang sagot ko kasi eh, sa ACS result, na-consider nila yung experience ko from 2007-2009 so ayun yung confusion.

    Anyway, tapos na iyon at sa pagpapala naman ni Lord eh na-grant naman ang visa ko.
