    kaya yan @Ozlaz .. honestly kami, plano-plano ang at first then when we knew how much it would cost, we gave-up..kaso itong si hubby ewan ko kung bakit eh gusto ulit, nagstart siya IELTS, that time wala pa talaga kami pera for visa..God will make a way talaga pag gusto mo..sa case namin, sa company ni hubby kami nakapag-loan..kaso nga, di pwede resign pag di pa nabayaran,,hahaha..pag-may grant na, bahay naman namin ang ibenta..
    so, yan, sugal talaga..

    @Ozlaz sugal talaga. It depends on how much you want this. Kami kasi, I will be honest with you ha. Medyo fortunate din na ok parents ko. Yung visa application payment namin, nasa mga 200k yun for us 2 including surcharge. Hiniram ko muna sa dad ko. I used his credit card. Tas plan ko, I will sell my car pag aalis na Kami to pay him. Di kasi ng card ko ng amount that big. And medyo ubos na din ako sa gastos sa agency any all the other stuff. In my opinion, it depends on how much you want this. Dapat pag pinasok mo to, walang plan b. Mabaon sa utang if kailangan. Kung baga sa poker. All in sugal to. Of course it's differen for you since you have kids

    Thats the right attitude bro, pag ginusto mo talaga nothing is impossible. Kami ganyan din sugal, all out pati pato, family of 4, nasa gradeschool level pa lang mga kids. We gave up everything including our flourishing careers. At times naiisip ko paano pag na refuse or may mangyari na unfavorable? Wala na kami babalikan na trabaho at back to zero. Pero With God's grace and guidance we were able manage and survive 3 visa applications in one year. 2 SVPs and finally the PR grant. All DIY. All because we remained focused to our ultimate goal- to give our kids the best future possible.

    All the best and God bless us all!

    @MikeYanbu We used electronic signature and OK naman. Nagrant naman. :)

    @Santi Natawa naman ako sa "pati pato" hahaha... =)) =)) =))

    Tama, kapag pinasok mo talaga to...walang atrasan. Very BIG risk talaga kaya you have to want it that bad para hindi ka ma-sway na gumive-up. Tsaka dapat matibay ang loob mo. Di biro ang waiting game na pinagdadaanan nating lahat to get that golden email. :)

    competent English - 50
    proficient English - 65
    superior English - 79

    salamat in advance! :)

    Thanks sa lahat ng nag reply sa question ko. I really appreciate it! :) i really want it. and i prayed for it. Di ko nga inaasahan na makaka superior ako sa english and God made it possible. Minsan lang kasi may takot ako sa change itself. Kasi kung ako lang go. Pag may mga anak ka na, parang kelangan medyo well calculated ang mga decisions.. I want this for the kids talaga. Salamat sa lahat ha. Go go go para sa pangarap!! :)

    Hi Guys,

    first congrats sa mga nakakuha na ng grant!

    Since napag usapan nadin naman ang risk. I have a dilemma now. Since nakakuha na kami ng invite the other day ngaun naman itong partner ko is nagkaron ng second thoughts kung itutuloy namin to oh nde. Ako eh naka mindset na itutuloy to at naka set na sa isip ko na nde talaga magiging madali lalo na sa umpisa lalo na nguan lang kami ma hihiwalay sa families namin etc.

    Nakausap niya kasi yung friend namin na kaka migrate lang last year and sila din ang dahilan kung bakit kami nagka idea na sumubok mag migrate. medyo nahihirapan daw yung friend namin dun lalo na nde masyado makapag padala ng pera sa family nila dito sa pinas. Medyo mahirap daw makaipon lalo na kung isa lang ang nag wowork.

    Ngaun ang concern ko is should we continue? or not? anong ma iaadvice niyo samin lalo na yung stable na sa AU. Anong maiprepresent ko sa partner ko na magiging okay kami dun in the future lalo na if ako lang ang mag wowork. Ano ang reward sa risk kapag naging successful and ano naman ang fallback kapag nde naging successful.

    sabi ko sa kanya if nde maging successful we always have pinas na uuwian.

    @Noodles12 nasa about 80% ka na ng buong process ng application... susuko ka pa ba? hehe! pero honestly, its a mutual decision between you two. Thumb of rule ng mga OFWs, dapat handa ka Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically before leaving PH. Or else, hinde magiging successful ang journey nyo...

    I suggest pag usapan nyo, what are the Pros and Cons. What are the long term benefits, ano ba ang risk factors.

    I hope you guys can come up with a good decision. after all, future nyo ang pinaguusapan dito...

    cheers mate!

    @Noodles12 , pre ano bha kasi definition ng success mo? In my opinion it boils down kung ano yung defintion mo nun. Kasi take example for our case, we have worked sa abroad for sometime already and money is not the main factor kung bakit kami nag decide why we wanted to make a big move sa australia. Daming Factors tulad ng Work Life Balance, Better Health Coverage, Retirement Benefits, Education for Kids, Better Opportunity for kids and for us as well in the long run. So it really boils down on how you define success and what is your immediate need. Do you need to satisfy first your immediate need or do you have to sacrifice a bit now and look at the long term. At the end of the day it really boils down to preference. Hope it can help you decide. :)

    @greatsoul question po, kasi nag work po kami ng husband ko sa SG, ako PR, sya po EP. Nakita ko po kasi required po yung photocopy ng EP at IC, hindi na po namin makita yung sa kanya, pero lam naman po namin yung FIN. Makakapag apply pa rin po ba kami ng sg coc kahit ganon yung case? Baka lang po alam nyo..

    @Ozlaz sa eAppeal application kasi, need ng IC copy... kung may IC copy pa si Mr, pwede nyo iupload... pagdating sa Police Cantontment Complex, hinde naman nila hinahanap yung actual IC, as per my experience.
    i suggest pagawa na din po kayo bagong IC kasi necessity natin yan dito sa SG, although di naman sya madalas hinahanap, pero its our responsibility na itago yun for purpose of Character Identity. Hope this helps.

    @Noodles12 nothing is really sure in this world. Sometimes, all you need to do is jump on the boat and sail away! Hehe.

    Moreover, as long as you're both confident na makakahanap kayo ng work based on your skills then it will surely happen. Also it's easier to overcome challenges when you have your partner with you. So dapat buo ang loob nyong 2, i guess.

    Fall back? Don't think of any 'fall back' just move forward, there's no turning back now.

    @greatsoul @Kris_New @Mikee Thanks sa mga advice.

    Ako buo talaga loob ko kahit kabado syempre. Siguro ganun din sya biglang kinabahan ng todo.

    For me naman kaya din ako nag decide to migrate is gaya ng mga sinabi ni @Kris_New like better health benefits, education for kids etc. plus yung quality ng buhay compared sa stress dito sa pinas.

    anyway, let's hope for the best nalang kung ano man mapag decisionan namin.

    and sa lahat sa atin dito sana maging successful! goodluck sa lahat.

    @Noodles12 For me.. i will take all the risk and take this opportunity.. as we all know that this opportunity will not be there all the time.. try to work it out when you get there.
