may mapapasukan naman dito basta tyga lang halos may ma aapplyan nman sa lahat ng state but also it depend on you work experience.. mas madali makahanap ng work kapag may local experience ka na dito. Mostly engineering company may mga training program sa mga newly grad at bagong empleyado. Mas maganda kung nakapag aral ka pa dito mas dagdag yun ng qulaification at malaking bagay yun para makakuha ng malaking sahod.
Goodluck

Pagtanda mo sa Pilipinas, bukod sa perang naipon mo, ang makakatulong na lang sayo ay yung SSS Pension na hindi pa kalakihan.
Sa Australia, pag tumanda ka, bukod sa naipon mo, may makukuha ka pang (1) Superannuation, (2) Social Security Pension at (3) Centrelink benefit....di pa kasama diyan yung comprehensive health program nila
San ka pa

As a migrant, you are expected to have worked a long while (like sir Totoy mentioned, 3-4years) before thinking of migrating...otherwise, mahihirapan ka nga makakuha ng trabaho...Pero kung proficient ka sa English, bata ka pa at maganda ang work experience mo, hindi mahirap makakuha ng trabaho dun

Australia pros
1. Employment - in my opinion madaling makahanap ng trabaho (generally) and mas malaki ang minimum compare to canada. And most of all, skillset and experience naka match sa trabaho mu (no need aussie exp.)
2. Mura ang white goods (electronics, computer, etc.) pwde mu pang tawaran.
3. Madaling bumili ng gold bars/bullion gold coins or silver bars/bullion/coins for investment. You can sell it here in Aus pero maliit lang ang profit. ang advise sa akin is to sell outside Aus.
4. Laid back ang trabaho at ang environment. work life balance. relax life style.
5. Outdoor ang mga tao dito, mahilig mag-travel, malapit ang aus sa new zealand, fiji or indonesia. Mostly ng mga nakilala ko nakapag euro-trip na. Mura pamasahe mag travel interstate brisbane, melbourne, sydney.
6. Weather is great parang pinas minus humidity. Winter kahit light jacket lang. Summer, maraming naka mini skirt.
7. Malapit sa pinas, may direct flight ang qantas from darwin to naia 8hrs lng.
8.Hindi masyadong na-apektuhan ang aus nung global crisis. Maganda ang pamamalakad ng government.
Australia cons
1. Sobrang taas ng cost of living. $100/week budget grocery sa woollies or coles. Mahal ang renta, mahal ang sine, mahal kumain sa labas, mahal kuryente doble sa canada, may bayad ang tubig sa canada libre lang (or siguro included na yun sa mga council fees dito sa aus separate).
2. prices of property are ridiculously expensive.
3. Madaming lasengo dito. Kahit nga mga meeting sa tanghali or hapon nag-seserve sila ng alak or beer. Well, sa mga mganginginom ok dito.
4. Security is not so much safe - uso mga scams, mga lasengo dito nanggugulo, vandalism pero mas safe compared sa pinas.
5. Hindi maganda ang medicare system, kasi 75% lang ang covered tapos may restrictions pa. Magastos magkasakit. You need to apply for private health insurance tapos limited din ang benefits (hindi ito optional, required ito pag wla kang private health i-tatax ka ng govt.)
6. Mataas ang tax, tapos meron pang bagong carbon tax na i-implement starting next financial year, lalo pang tataas ang cost of living.
7. Mabagal ang internet, sa canada nakaka 8megabytes/second ako dito 2 megabytes na lang. Well, it better pa rin compare sa pinas.
8. Hindi magandang magswimming sa beach, maraming pating at jellyfish.
9.Right hand drive, left side of the road.

pag rent kasama na ang tubig pero dipende sa klase ng bahay
2. prices of property are ridiculously expensive.
mahal nga pero affordable pa rin
3. Madaming lasengo dito. Kahit nga mga meeting sa tanghali or hapon nag-seserve sila ng alak or beer. Well, sa mga mganginginom ok dito.
dipende sa lugar.
4. Security is not so much safe - uso mga scams, mga lasengo dito nanggugulo, vandalism pero mas safe compared sa pinas.
dipende sa lugar mas safe pa rin dito kaysa US.
5. Hindi maganda ang medicare system, kasi 75% lang ang covered tapos may restrictions pa. Magastos magkasakit. You need to apply for private health insurance tapos limited din ang benefits (hindi ito optional, required ito pag wla kang private health i-tatax ka ng govt.)
kahit may private health may tax ka pa rin ng government. pag public libre wait ka lang ng matagal kapag may operation. kapag sa private ka nag pa check up sa GP. half ang babayaran mo na fee sa doctor half nun babayaran ng government. Ang maganda naman dito may rebate ka makukuha kapag may binayaran ka about sa health mo.
6. Mataas ang tax, tapos meron pang bagong carbon tax na i-implement starting next financial year, lalo pang tataas ang cost of living.
well kahit mataaas affordable pa rin. lalo na kapag pareho kayo ng asawa mo nag wowork
7. Mabagal ang internet, sa canada nakaka 8megabytes/second ako dito 2 megabytes na lang. Well, it better pa rin compare sa pinas.
okay naman ang internet dito dipende kasi sa lugar yan eh.
8. Hindi magandang magswimming sa beach, maraming pating at jellyfish.
malaki ang Australia madaming beach dito. may place na dun ka lang maliligo.
9.Right hand drive, left side of the road.
okay naman kahit right hand.

You need to apply for private health insurance tapos limited din ang benefits (hindi ito optional, required ito pag wla kang private health i-tatax ka ng govt.)<= eto rin comment nya... kasi nagpaoperate cya lately, ang laki rin ng nilabas nyang pera, kasi raw may certain % lang na covered.
8. Hindi magandang magswimming sa beach, maraming pating at jellyfish. <= hahaha parang sa puerto gallera, na jellyfish sting na ko dun. baka meron pa rin naman na magagandang beach na walang jelly fish. hehehe
9.Right hand drive, left side of the road. <= i agree to totoyoz, sanay na rin ako duto sa sg na righthand drive. uy wala kong kotse ha? taxi lang kaya sanay na sa right ung driver.
thanks for sharing you exp. pero sumatutal mas maganda pa rin kesa pinas. ilang taon pa bubunuin ng pinas para lang makahabol sa ekonomiya ng OZ.

Natawa ko sa mga lasenggo sa katanghaliang tapat, parang UK at Europe style pala dyan... sa mga lugar na madalas may nanggugulo na lasing malamang dun lagi nagpapatrolya na pulis?
Nasa atin nalang kung pano mag-aadjust... bottom line pa din is, masakit man sabihin, pero mas ok pa din kesa sa Pinas.

To compare sa canada, eto yung mga pros and cons.
Canada pros
1. Standard of living is not expensive. Grocery for 2 ppl $80 at "no frills grocery" good for 2-3 weeks (puno ang isang cart). $100 unlimited ttc travel card for 1 month (bus, train, tram). $100-120 for communications expenses (go with combo deals like internet+cable+mobile phone). Most take-out food not expensive either $5-10 per meal per person. Bayad ko sa kuryente $30-40per month, pag summer naka aircon, pagwinter naka heater plus parati pang nagluluto (electricity gamit hindi gas). Dito bill ko $120 average konting aircon lang (maiinit kc sa brisbane).
2. Lot's of places to travel - US is just accross pwde mag bus pa US if nagtitipid sa flights. Madali kumuha ng us visitor visa pag nasa canada na.
3. Property is cheap.
4. Medicare is top notch - lalo na pag may employee benefit kang private health insurance. Wala kang gastos pag nagkasakit ka (pa doktor, gamot) kahit pa-opera ka, sa first class room ka mag-stay wla kang gastos. Good for retirement.
5. Malaki ang filipino community.
6. May Phil National Bank and I think there's a goldilocks somewhere at westcoast area pero wla dun sa Toronto (where I was previously).
7. Masarap sa winter kasi kahit hindi ka maligo for 1 month hindi ka mangangamoy Also, hindi mu kailangan mag-iron kasi naka sweater and winter jacket ka madalas (tipid sa oras). Mabilis magpapayat pag winter kasi yung chilling effect sa katawan nangangailangan ng maraming calories to burn basta excercise lang kahit light in 30minutes/day.
8. Some companies have unlimited paid sick leaves.
9. In toronto, mix race, people are very respectful to one another, generally safe (just avoid the east bloor area if you're in toronto).
10.Internet is superfast at 8Megabyte per second not 8 megabit per second. Sa mga heavy d/lders ubos agad ang 80gig cap for 1 week, hehe.
Canada cons
1. Mahirap mag hanap ng work. Advise for those going there on immigration visa, generally companies are very discriminate on hiring, they prefer a 'Canadian experience' worker. Kahit may 10yr experience ka with mba pero kalaban mu may 1 year canadian experience talo ka. Kaya minsan makikita mu sa mga ads for example an indian with doctoral degree is driving a taxi cab kasi gawa ng discrimination.
2. Snow - it's so annoying lalo na kapag nilalagyan nila ng rock salt yung kalsada to melt the ice, mabilis maka-sira ng sapatos, dyahe kasi magpalit ng snow boots at normal shoes eh. You need so many layers of clothing, pag naka thermal undies ka sobrang init naman pag nasa opisina. Nakakatamad lumabas pag winter.
3. Sa pinas wla namang bank fees pero dito meron.
4. Pag may tumawag sa yo, kailangan may load ka (if prepaid) kasi may charge ang incoming calls.
5. Ayoko mag tip pero culture na nila. Sensya na cheap kc ako.
6. Hindi masyadong outdoor mga tao. Generally, kontento na sila sa sarili nilang country tapos may konti visit sa US. Lalo na pag winter, hybernate mode.
7. maaga magclose ang mga stores, same lang dito sa aus.
8. some companies have US management style of practice (slave drivers)
9. Sweldo - don't expect too much esp. if you're just starting. Twice ang sweldo ko dito sa aus compare sa canada.
10.Sobrang layo ng travel pa-uwi ng pinas.
