@kaidenMVH di pa ko nagpa-assess, ginagawa ko pa lang CDR ko, pati IELTS sched ko sa end of march pa, kapag ok na, i-fast track ko na lang sa EA.

@engineer20 korek ka dyan, yung ibang S-pass pinoy nga samin, kahit gusto i-renew ng company di naman ni-renew ng M.0.M. kahit wala namang bad record. Medyo regret din kasi di ko sinama mga kids ko during pr application namin ni mrs nun, may boy kasi ako, at halos di pa ganung kataas school fee nun intl student, ngayon parang every yr tumataas, waaaaa.

dati nga akala ko nung unang dating ko SG nagkapass ako sabi ko hindi na ako balik pinas mag PPR ako dito sa SG pag babae anak ko kapag lalake anak ko mag Canada ako.

nagkataon lalake LOL nagtry canada sablay nagbago policy january 2014 naabutan ako buti wala ako nagastos dun. hanggang sa naimbita ako mga kaklase ko mag OZ

andaming local at PR na nagmimigrate to australia siguro nga totoo na ang SG pang mayayaman nalang talaga

erdie_dizon · February 2016

same din po kami, me and wife PR and our eldest daughter, but ang youngest po was rejected naman. mahal na nga lahat at halos wala na benefits being PR dito, case namin pwedi na benta bahay. so lets think of plan b na:) nakikibalita lang po ako kung sino my kilala na same profession namin ni wife, radiographer po kami medical imaging tech tawag sa OZ.

@kaidenMVH @dreamoz @engineer20 @erdie_dizon - same boat as all of you and i would like to share my personal experience.

myself and wife are 6yrs PR with property in SG. both kids were born and grew up there and are on long term visit pass and of course rejected few times sa SG PR application. worse, my eldest did not get into a local primary school last January even though there are 3 schools within 1km from our place. good thing i applied for AU PR in 2014. thankfully i got job offer last Aug 2015 and moved here first, while my family will follow this month and my eldest will start schooling here.

madali pumasok sa local schools dito sa AU. work environment is good, people are generally nice and friendly and they value your personal time

so goodluck to all! pinoyau had been a great help to me, so i'd like to give back to by trying to help in any way through the forum. cheers mates!

@mann thats inspiring! thanks, you're the mann!

@all guys, meron bang nagpadala ng nbi application form kay Ms Sandra Sobida dito? I tracked my mail and saw that it arrived at phil post nung Jan 26 pa. Ilang weeks ba estimate before niya ma-receive yun? And is there any chance na may magbubukas nung mail sa phil post?

IslanderndCity · February 2016

dhenver · February 2016

@mann thanks sa mga info. mo

zapped · February 2016

@mann, read your post. Ano requirements ng primary school? Did your kids enter school on the 1st term or any term of the school year? Thanks

bait0211 · February 2016

question po sa mga nasa Au na. nagpost din ako sa ibang thread however gusto ko lang sana makahingi ng opinion yung mga nagmigrate na from Sg lalo na sa mga collectors ng shoes.

Pano nyo po dinala yung mga shoes nyo (with boxes pa ba?) from SG? through check in baggage ba or nagpabox kayo through singpost? sabi kasi ng isang taga forum baka daw malagyan ng tax sa australia kasi akalain pambenta. I hope meron pong makasagot. thanks!

Captain_A · February 2016

Guys, questions para sa nagpa assess sa Engineers Australian, sapat na ba yung Contract of Employment (stating employer's details and employee's duties, this is i think option 2 based on MSA Booklet) at Work Permit (Pass) as evidence of employment?
Thanks

se29m · February 2016

@Captain_A if more than a year yata yung work, you will be needing payslips.. Nagrerequest din sila ng iras..

Captain_A · February 2016

se29m · February 2016

yosh10 · February 2016

engineer20 · February 2016

sa mga nagbabalak mamasyal or mag validation entry muna sa Au ay maganda ang exchange rate ngayon sa mga suking money changers, 1:1 lang.

dhenver · February 2016

@Enginneer20. Hirap ngayun 3times kaming napply ng PR... rejected agad. kaya ngdecide na kami ng family kong mag apply sa AU. Last dec nagbakasyon kami sa adelaide SA ang ganda ng lugar at relax ang mga tao.
Hopefully this year matapos na ung mga requirements

engineer20 · February 2016

@dhenver nagsawa na ako sa pagaapply ng PR sa SG. last appointment na nakuha ko kinansel ko na lang at parang di rin naman maaaprub. almost 9 years na kami dito ngayon kaya ramdam yung difference sa buhay nung unang dating saka itong present situation.

dreamoz · February 2016

tama kayo dyan mga bossing, lately talagang biglang hirap na buhay dito, my kids in Sec & Pri, school fees increased this year (again!) $570 & $380....waaaaaa!!

dhenver · February 2016

@dreamoz.. grabe ang mahal ng tuition. Ang daughter ko 10modules sa mindchaps 1k SGD na fee.

xteen091 · February 2016

Hello guys, i need your advice. Yung wyf q me pending NSW nomination application , no visa 190 lodge yet. Apparently, may offer sya fr her employer in QLD for visa 457. Is it advicable for my wife to accept the Visa 457 before the NSW nomination result? Or need to wait muna sa result? If ever she accepts the 457 then later on positive yung outcome nung NSW nomination, can she lodge the visa 190 application while she is currently holding 457 iregardless of ilang buwan palang sya nagwowork sa company? Anyone po having the same experience? Hope to hear your thoughts and advice.

IslanderndCity · February 2016

so in terms of primary & secondary public education co$t comparing SG & Au, anyone can share numbers here?

chocolatepink · February 2016

^can't give a comparison of the fees but for some family friends here na nasa SG local schools ang anak nasa tuition centres din ang anak nila to aid them in school performance, so I guess it adds up to the school/education fees dito.

gelotronic · February 2016

yun! mga ka-SG! sana merong EB! same-same boat tayo, 8years sa SG, 5 times rejected PR. tara na sa OZ! hehehe

yosh10 · February 2016

count us in! exactly 8 years na din kami dito sa SG sa March. Sakto ang anniversary sa pagpunta namin sa Au. Sama na!

Captain_A · February 2016
