Bakit hindi?

Well besides sa mga nabanggit nila... I believe compared to other destination US, Europe or Other Asian countries... Australia's over all state as a country is still in infancy... where most people still has room to grow professionally and economically...

kasi they are very welcoming sa mga migrants kasi they have a very big country to fill.

Finally Filos are discovering that Australia is a better place to live, since even USA Filos are migrating to Australia. Less crime, less pollution, better quality of life, more jobs and more economic stability. One bonus is also that the Philippines is half the plane trip away - seven hours vs twice that from the US.

Vancouver topped the list of the world's most liveable cities for the fifth straight year, while Melbourne claimed second place from Vienna and Australian and Canadian cities dominated the list's top 10 spots.

Sydney was in seventh place.

In the annual survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Canadian west coast city and 2010 Winter Olympics host scored 98 per cent on a combination of stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure -- a score unchanged from last year.

Although Melbourne pipped the Austrian capital for silver medal, there was no other major change near the top of the list of 140 cities worldwide. Auckland, New Zealand, came in 10th.

"Mid-sized cities in developed countries with relatively low population densities tend to score well by having all the cultural and infrastructural benefits on offer with fewer problems related to crime or congestion," said Jon Copestake, editor of the report, in a statement.

Pittsburgh was the top US city with 29th place - just ahead of Honolulu - while Los Angeles moved up three places to 44th and New York held onto the 56th spot.

London moved up one place to 53rd while Paris came in at number 16.

The top Asian city was Osaka at number 12, tying Geneva, Switzerland and beating out the Japanese capital of Tokyo, which came in at 18.

Hong Kong came in at 31 but Beijing, capital of the world's most populous nation and No. 2 economy, straggled in at 72.

There was also little change at the bottom, with Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, once again claiming the worst position with a rating of 37.5 percent, narrowing beating out the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka.

The Economist Intelligence Unit survey ranks cities based on 30 factors such as healthcare, culture and environment, and education and personal safety.

Following is a list of the top 10 most liveable cities as ranked by The Economist Intelligence Unit:

1. Vancouver, Canada

mimaahk · July 2011

Hi! Just like to ask opinion nyo lalo na sa mga currently naka-base din Singapore... sa palagay nyo what are the major advantages and disadvantages between living in SG and OZ? I'm thinking din kasi kung san mas madali maka-ipon specially for a family.

ylai · July 2011

@bmac: I believe you're referring to opportunities in general but I'm really more focused on the IT market since that's where our profession belongs to and based on my research, NZ also has a wide demand for IT professionals. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

follow your heart and mind. try mo NZ basahin mo yung immigration site nila about IT. Daming IT na dito sa Australia.

Goodluck, cheers

ylai · July 2011

@totoyozresident: that's the problem, both my heart and mind are confused at this point in time... seems Oz and NZ offers the same benefits one is looking for in a near-to-ideal place to live and raise a family... i've also done my research on NZ and i've been to different forums too... i just want to find that thin line that could tell which country is better off than the other

TotoyOZresident · July 2011

when you compare both country. this days Australia is more ahead than NZ when it comes in economy. mag decide ka in long term not only today. at ang NZ maaganda din ang economy. Actually kapag NZ citizen ka puede ka naman mag cross country. madali kana makapasok sa australia. Sa Ngayun napakalaki ng agwat ng Australia sa NZ pagdating sa economy. pati na rin sa trabaho. dipende sa skills. Like mostly mga engineers sa NZ dito lumilipat. for me i research mo muna kung anung state yung pupuntahan mo sa NZ at ng Australia then compare it. kung anu yung information nila. ipag pray mo din na bigayn ka ni GOD ng gabay at ng tamang decision. GOD bless

hi i think you need to compare their offer kung yung alin ang mgandang offer at kung may assurance at kung long term at kung pupuede ka ba mag apply ng PR until citizen. NZ di pa ganun siguro kahigpit when it comes appying PR at citizen ship but it depend on your skills indemand. then check kung anung lugar or state ng both countries NZ at OZ. check their general information tulad ng mga bilihin, bahay. I research mo na lang dito sa internet. just pray to GOd for his guidance. GOd bless and Good luck.

ylai · July 2011

@totoyozresident: thanks for taking the time to respond. i really appreciate it. and i agree with you 100%... we need God's guidance and enlightenment especially on big decisions like this... thanks again... but this will not be my last post... hehehe... hope you'll still find time to respond

sa Oz, pagapproved na un PR visa mo, Permanent resident ka na agad. kahit anong trabaho pwde.
sa NZ, u need to work at least 6 months in NZ, at dapat related sa skill mo ang job na un, if not, hinde ka magiging PR.
i have lots of officemates na nagmove from NZ to Oz. ( mostly asians). mas malaki daw kse sweldo. hehe

bonzi · July 2011

if u compare SG and OZ.. Working hours, OZ - 8, SG -10+ ( kulang nalng tahihan ka ng amo mo sa pagtulog!)
eto lng panalo na ang OZ. haha! plus free healthcare.

actually ang OZ ang regular working hours ay 7.5 hours at usually flexible ang working time dito. pag na late ka punuin mo yung 7.5 mo. Dipende rin naman sa nature ng work mo. Sa engineering work madalas nag eextend kami dipende sa trabaho kung maraming pending at rush pero normally yung design engineers ang nag eextend ng hours kasi malaki ang mga sahod nila.

HAHAHA oo nga Bonzi. i remember nung sa CPF pa ko nagwowork. madugo! inaabot ko ng 2am. tapos masasamahan pa ng masahol na indian na teammate? im not a racist. meron lang akong nakasamang satanas nag indian before. kahit kapwa indian e galit sa kanya. hehehe

so far napansin ko lang sa SG, like ako ngayon... puti ang amo ko. mababait sila... 8hrs naman ang work, kaya kung balak m sa SG magwork humanap ka ng among Puti. or mga company from EUROPE na ng expand sa SG. just my opinion

wow TotoyOZResident, sarap naman 7.5 hrs lang! standard ba yun dyan? tapos flexi time pa.

TotoyOZresident · July 2011

yup OZ at NZ lang ata ang 7.5 yung iba tulad ng pinas at US ay 8 hours. Yung Flexible time dipende sa nature ng business at company. pero sa engineering kadalasan ganun dito. staka tinutupad talaga ng mga company dito kung anu yung nasa batas pagdating sa labor like vacation leave at sick leave. balance ang life at work dito. Madalas pa magkape ang mga locals lalo pag winter masarap kape dito brewed. Pagdating sa beer daming brand mapagpipilian pero isa o dalawang bote lang bawal ang maglasing unless kapag di ka ma dra-drive ng kotse. okay yun lang... cheers

bonzi · July 2011

wah! baket ako 8 hrs a day dito sa melbourne=(
aolee, naku, madugo tlga sa cpf, pati sa citibank, pinago-OT ka na nga, sisigawan ka pa!
sa SG, nagwork ako sa french company, more than 8 hrs din ang trabaho. minsan hinihiritan pa ako ng 'half day ka?" pag umuwi ako ng 6pm. (anak ng!!!)
depende tlga siguro. minalas lng ako:((
