heads-up lang sa 1 to 2 years na magwork ka pa dito sa SG pag may grant ka na. may high possibility na di ka makakapag convert to OZ citizenship (if gusto mo) in your existing visa. kasi you need to be in OZ for at least 4 years bago ka makapag-apply, eh validity ng 189/190 ay 5 years lang. so kelangan mo mag apply ng RRV, or alternatively, di ka aalis ng OZ until ma-convert.

I'm currently a Mall Engineer( manages operations ang maintenance of the facilities/equipment of the building) here in Pinas. Im a licensed Mechanical Engineer. Hingi lang po ako advice. Though 1 year palang ang experience ko, i dream of working in OZ. Do you think it is wise to pursue facilities engineering if i want to work in australia? Im also taking my girlfriend ( soon to be my wife) who is a CPA with me. Should I shift to a different industry like oil and gas or construction? Please help po. This is my dilemma right now. Is facilities engineering best suited to make a good career sa australia or even penetrating it?
