We did! We checked our points and mukhang kulang din. Plus we needed to go for another assessment and PTE is not accepted so need pa mag english test ulit. So we opt for 491 Family Sponsored instead. Kahit di PR push lang.
I cannot say so much for Canada kasi hindi ko naaral, ang ginawa ko lang is overview, check points and anu mga need.

Actually, di ko masyadong choice ang AU pero few countries lang naman kasi may PR points immigration system: Canada, NZ, and AU. Us and European countries wala. (mag oopen yata ang UK sa 2022 ng points based immgration system).
So from that, 3 lang choices ko. Una kong in-applyan talaga Canada kaya lang mukang mas mahirap kesa sa AU so I'm taking my chances sa AU. Ongoing ang Canada and AU ko pero based sa trend mukang no chance na sa Canada. NZ wala ring chance since heavily leaning sa Job Offer ung points which is very hard to get. At least sa AU pumasok ung points ko sa trends ng draw.
I had a job offer from US last December pero pumutok naman tong Covid, so wala na. Anyway lottery rin ang H1B visa so sobrang slim ng chance.
Anyway bakit di ko first choice ang AU, actually dahil lang naman sa weather, hehe. Ayoko kasi sana ng mainit na bansa, pero well basta maka alis lang ng Pinas.
Working ako dito sa Japan and sa totoo lang madali rin mag migrate dito, relaxed ang citizenship application dito. Big hurdle lang yung language barrier kaya di ko rin ma consider. Also 7.5 hours lang din ang regular working hours dito.

I also have an ongoing application to Canada. Pero ayun sabi ko nga sa previous post ko, slim ang chance ko. Makukuha ko siya thru Provincial Nomination (PNP) which is a separate application rin. Sa PNP, they highly favor applicants with relatives already living there, studied there (for 2 years ata), or with a job offer. Maraming pinoy na pasok sa first case since ganyan tayo eh. haha. So i say if you have one of those 3 conditions, it's worth a try na mag apply. Ako kasi wala ako niyan kaya walang chance ung application ko. haha.

Salamat sa feedback @barryco and @Linetdane
Question sir @barryco sa PNP mo, point-based system din ba sya? Same ng Express Entry na minimum 67/100 points, or Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ang gamit? Di rin kami pasok dun sa 3 conditions na binigay mo eh. Slim na rin ang chance namin sa AU dahil hindi naman kataasan points namin, kaya we're considering other options available. Pero parehas si AU and CA na malakas hatak ng points sa language assessment.

After working in SG for 6yrs, I'm back in PH always thinking of the future. My question was not really "bakit AU"? But more of "bakit ako aalis ng Pinas?" considering I'm earning more than what I was earning sa SG. Honestly, I still have worries and hesitations kung "ano ba talaga ate?!" but I'm pretty sure kelangan kong magtry kesa magdusa sa "what ifs?" Hahahah I haven't invested much on properties sa Pinas dahil hindi ko pa mabuo buo yung picture na dito ko palalakihin ang anak ko.
I don't mind kung saang first world country ako dadalhin ng tadhana, basta safe and somehow secured ang future namin anak ko (cempre malaking factor jan yung pagpupursigi ko), and stable ang govt and economy for whatever crisis ang dumating. Case in point, Covid.
Same with @barryco , my options were Canada, Australia, and NZ with preference sa ANZ dahil relatively mas malapit sa Pinas just in case my urgent matters esp with my old folks. I also tried googling other countries with great benefits and educ system like Finland, Denmark, Norway, pero hirap makapasok. Hirap rin ako sa Canada point system and apparently pinakamadaling iachieve ang eligibility sa AU (though 491 lang ang pwede sakin).
I made a checklist kung ano ang gusto at ayaw ko sa isang place kung san kami mag start ng new life and AU made it perfectly fitting sa lifestyle and dream ko. Looking at how AU handled the covid situation, mas nagseseal off yung decision ko pursue this plan. Sana lang maging positive tong journey na to.
Yun lang po. Salamat. Bow.

Yes points based rin ung sa PNP and separate scoring siya per province, may sarili rin silang system. Tapos depende rin sa occupation mo, di mo pwedeng applyan lahat ng province, tapos yung ilang province may minimum CRS threshold pa before ka ma consider. I only have ongoing application sa 2 provinces na eligible ako.

To clarify, yung 67/100 is just the first layer eligibility score. Bali di siya ina-add sa total CRS mo. You just need to past it para makapag lodge sa CRS.
Ung CRS may direct effect siya sa PNP depende sa province. For example may provinces na dapat maka 400 points ka muna sa CRS at iinvite ka nila to apply for their PNP. Meron naman as low as 300 points ung eligibility. Meron naman walang minimum basta pasok ka sa CRS eligibility. Haha, di ko alam kung na explain ko ng maayos.

Thank you sa additional info. Medyo complicated din pala process nila. Ano naman input mo sir/mam sa process ng pag assess ng educational background mo? Fully recognized ba ang degree mo?

Ah personally nadalian ako sa assessment ng Canada compared sa AU, at mas mura pa ng sobra. Kung professional occupation ang nominated, they will only assess your degree and not your work experience. So yung assessment sa Canada leaning sa reputation ng school mo sa Pinas (top universities). I got my degree fully recognized naman. Ang hassle lang the original documents need to come directly from your university or sealed original if you send it by yourself. By mail.
Also worth noting, one assessing authority can assess any degree unlike sa AU na iba iba depende kung engineer ka, IT, health professional, or architect, etc.
Yung work experience assessment will come after the ITA for visa mismo which is medyo similar na ata sa AU process, strict rin pero visa officers lang ang mag aassess and not a third party organization (iba yata sa trades). Pero wala pa ko sa stage na yan kaya i can't really say much about it.
