    Madami nga ganyan cases, PR parents pero yung mga bata ayaw magrant ng PR. Ano yun? Indirectly telling na wrong grant? Or Pinapaalis?

    In SG we are just a number. Pag umalis tayo mapapalitan ng bagong newcomer na generation.

    For us naman, sa tulong ng nanay sa reviews at tuitions nakakuha ng slot sa local school (P2).

    So while waiting for grant may chance makatikim ng local school experience.

    Bittersweet kasi since P1 triny na namin (lottery at by talino) di umubra. So sa P2 try uli, pero this time pinagbuti at tuition at install backlight na hehehehehe. Nakakuha na this May 2023.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ang lahat ng mga nandito sa Sg kasama n ako maybe ay tlgang nagarap maging PR dito, but we have exhausted our time and energy here to no avail . Sg may have other future plans na di kami kasama doon. It took me few years to accept that,my plans were to build a life here pero di nga nag succeed. All of our efforts now is to find that somewhere else, uprooted my plans here and will move on. Somehow we become more practical , thinking more for the kids and not my own ego. Build a better life for them out from the pressure built by my expectations - anyways at least in AU we are assured of what to expect and work on those parameters. I still like SG syempre and appreciative ako sa lahat ng tulong nya sa pamilya ko.
    Keep pressing on!

    10 years kami sa SG, both with good job and company. But lumipat kami for our kid's security. Nakakakaba sa umpisa. But after a few months living here. Pareho kami ni hubby na thankful na lumipat dito. Hindi mabbayaran ang time at health. Sa Sg may pera kami dahil both kami may work. Pero ung mental heath ko hindi maganda. We always work overtime kasi sa sami ng projects. Ang anak namin maghapon sa day care. Pag dating ng gabi pagid kami makipag bonding sa kaniya. Wala kaming yaya sa Sg so oati gawaing bahay ginagawa namin sa gabi. Imagine a week goes by na di namin naeenjou kasi madalas pagod kami physically and mentally. Pagdatinf dito, asawko lang may work. Sakto lang ung kita niya for our weekly expenses, but u know what... Our hearts and soul are full. Happiness and contentment. And we even have a lot of time to do even on weekdays. And weekends.

    To add pa. Ilang beses naakong na ospital dito. And ni singko wala akong nilabas. I did my CT scan and so many Xray and check ups. Kahit asawa ko nakapag full medical check up and my kid too. Thankfully wala kaming nilabas na pera. Nagkasakit ako sa Sg and gumagastos ako ng halos 700$ per month. Kasi need ng treatment ung sakit ko.

    Salamat po sa pagshare ng mga personal experiences nio..Habang
    papalapit po parang napapaisip ako if tama ba tong big move namin.Yung husband ko po kase talagang pinilit ko lang gusto nia talaga magstay sa SG kase PR naman kami pero ako naman gusto ko na umalis dahil super stress na sa work.Wala pa po kami anak and hoping magkaroon na sa paglipat namin sa AU..

    Tagal na akong inde naka login dito. pero here goes my opinion. Almost 3 years ago we did our move from SG to AU. PR ako. but anak ko inde. so obvious yun benefit dahil sa family. So I will not go into that.

    Pero these are the benefits na inde namen alam but only found out nun nag move na kame. I can say I can give these opinions kasi I stayed sa SG close to 14 years. 14 years umasa, lumuha at ni reject.
    1. Malaki nga ang tax dito pero mas malaki naman ang sahuran din. At madameng makukuha sa govt. Na operahan si misis. ang tanging binayaran ko e parking. pero nun mga sunod na appointment nag hanap na lang ako street parking so libre na. Then subsidised ang chilcare. Libre ang school sa bata, etc.
    2. Madaling magka sasakyan dito. Yun lang na spoil na minsan at inde na naglalakad ng mahaba
    3. May security ka na path papuntang citizen. Sa SG lagi silang nagbabago ng rules. yun mga kilala namen nagrereklamo kahit PR yun anak pamahal ng pamahal ang tuition at ibang bagay. Napapamura at pinaaral daw nila yun mga classmate na SG citizen.
    4. Eto big one - pede kang mag retire dito. Sa SG need mong umuwi sa pinas kasi napakamahal kapag na ospital ka balang araw. Kahit na sabihing mong PR kayo ngayon mag asawa o single ka at inde balak mag anak. Mabilis mauubos yun CPF mo o medisave mo kasi isang ospital lang boom ubos yan. May mga kilala kame na Citizen na sa SG pero pinili pa rin lumipat (Canada or AU). Pero I have never heard of an Australian citizen na nag give ng ng AU citizenship to become SG citizen. Maybe pag ultra rich para mag benefit sa tax. Kasi nga mahal pag retired ka na at ma ospital ka. Less nga ang tax sa SG pero binibigay ng SG govt sayo yun burden balang araw. May mga kilala akong AU citizen na nasa SG ngayon for work pero inde nag give up. Mga expat sila. balang araw babalik din daw sila dito AU kasi nga may pension, libre ospital etc. So double benefit kasi makuha pa nila CPF nila dyan.
    5. Eto na relaize ko lang nun nakabili kame ng sariling bahay. Ang sarap pala pag gising mo at pag labas mo ng bahay backyard o frontyard e nakatapak ka sa lupa. inde yun pag tanaw mo sa labas e samapayan ng kapitbahay mo ang makikita mo. Sarap din mag garden, plantito na ako. Malaki ang mga lupa dito. madameng space para magpatintero
    6. Eto isa pa, in terms of investment kahit PR ka lang pede ka bumili ng rental property. Nakabili na kame ng investment property at mas mura pa kesa sa condo na benta sa Yishun Northpoint nun umalis kame. Natandaan ko nun umalis kame SG nakakuha kame ng flyer sa mailbox nun 2020, 1m for 2BR condo dyan. nabili nameng investment dito e close to 600sqm na bahay 800k lang. Kapag PR ka sa SG if I am not wrong, isang HDB lang pede at may stamp duty pa yun. Pede condo pero malaki din yun tax to buy for succeeding properties. Dito upto sawa kun may pera ka. may kilala akong ex SG citizen 7 na investment properties nya dito.
    7. Work life balance here is the best! nakapag pintura ako ng buong bahay namen while bayad sa oras. shhh... Inde sila asian mentality dito na need mong i clock yun 8 hrs kasi yun ang bayad sayo kahit naman nag facebook ka nalng sa office. haha. Pag tapos gawa mo bahala ka na sa buhay mo. inde tataas kilay nun mga tao sa paligid at sasabihin nauna pa akong pumasok dun ha. ako lang nagsasabi nun sa sarili ko sa office.
    8. Napaka pro family dito. nun unang mga weeks kong nag wowork nagtataka ako minsan umuuwi na mga tao before 3pm or nawawala un iba at nakablock calendar ng 230-330. O kaya minsan maririnig mong hinihingal yun ka meeting mo ng ganong oras. Sunduan pala ng mga bata. isipin mo sa SG ka, paalam ka sa amo mo - I will just pick up my kid. Ano kaya reply sayo. Dito no questions ask kapag family
    9. Vinavalue nila ang opinion ng bawat tao dito. Doesn't matter kun cleaner ka o ano man. walang work dito na "LANG". Every voice matters. sa office nga yun isang officemate ko kinokontra yun may ari ng company e.
    10. affectionate sila dito lalo kun may pinagdadaanan ka. minsan to a fault na. Based sa real experience to. Nakunan si misis sa SG noon. yun OB na nag deliver ng news sa amen walang ke palalabok direct to the point "baby is dead". Mas concern pa na tinigyawat si misis at sinabi too bad why you have so many pimples. diba nakaka bwisit. Nun nakunan si misis dito sa AU sobra ang compassion nila, ang dameng nurse na nagcheck samen to comfort us. Si misis na sobrahan na kasi lalo syang naiiyak dahil niyayakap pa sya. Tapos un isang scan namen sa private clinic kame kasi emergency na (inde kame siningil nun private ng kahit anong fee - consultation o ultrasound) baka dahil naawa na sa pinagdadaanan namen. Tanda ko sa Sg noon nun lumabas kame ng clinic sa counter that will be 260 dollars. tapos habang nakaupo sa bench may lumapit na inusrance agent inaalok pa kame ng insurance for next baby try daw. taragis gusto ko ihagis yun leaflet sa kanya na may pinagdadaanan kame diba.
    11. Mas malapit sa kultura ng pinoy ang AU. Big deal gn Christmas season dito unlike sa SG na parang just another day. CNY ang big deal dyan. Madameng catholics dito kun catholic ka.
    12. Pede kang mamasyal ng inde baskil ang kili kili mo. Nag pipicnic kame dito kahit maawa d ka papaiwan(wag lang summer). Sa SG noon nag botanical gardens kame, may baon akong extrang damit kasi basa ng pawis yun damit ko.
    13. Maganda ang nature scene dito. napaka sarap mag road trip.

    CON ng AU compare to SG
    1. Mas madaling umuwi sa pinas
    2. Mas gusto ko ang food scene sa SG (Halos lahat kameng magkakaibigan na galing SG ganito ang sentiment - food ang namimiss). Kun puti ka siguro mas gusto mo dito.
    3. mas convenient in terms of buying things sa SG, kasi noon naalala ko pag gising ko naka sando lang at inde pa nag toothbrush baba lang ako bibili sa hawker ng food o sa mall na lakad lang ng 5 mins. Dito need mo isasakyan halos lahat
    4. mas inde nosebleed ang english sa SG. can can, dont play play uubra na. dito mapapa can i please get some Wataaah (water).
    5. Mas madameng klase ng damit ang meron ka dito (may pang winter, summer, etc)
    6. Mas maganda airport ng Sg ng milya milya. hahaha. Compare ko na to sa Sydney ha where we are right now
    7. Mas mapapa DIY ka dito sa maranming bagay. So ako nag karpintero na, nag pintura, etc. Mahal ang services dito. Kaya ikaw mismo gagawa. yun iba CON ito pero saken mas ok kasi nag eenjoy ako. kagagawa ko lang ng cabinet nun isang araw. Si misis naiinis na saken dahil ang dame ko ng tools. hahaha
    8. Eto biggest para saken. May yaya sa SG. dito kayo lahat, pagod sa umpisa pero nasanay na kame. parang exercise na rin.

    I am sure madame pa na inde ko nalista. pero kun babalikan ko kahit na citizen kame sa SG mas pipiliin ko ang AU kun alam ko ang i ooffer ng bawat bansa prior. Kalimitan naman nun nag sasabi ng mas gusto nila SG is because they don't know the unknown, nasa comfort zone na or afraid to go back to square one. I know kasi ganyan din feel ko nun before kame umalis SG na kesyo ok na ako sa SG (manager na rin ako noon dyan). kasi nakakatakot na baka pag lipat mo ang work mo e inde mo linya or napakababa.
    So yun opinion ko ay dahil nakakuha ako ng linya ng work ko although inde ako manager isang hamak na tiga sunod lamang. So maiintidinhan ko yun mga nakalipat ng AU na may regret kun sa SG e mataas na sila then lipat dito inde nila linya. Dito pumapasok yun subjective na tlga ang opinion.So bawat tao e unique. You just have to take it with a grain of salt.Napakahaba na pala nito at nakalimutan ko nasa work pala ako. anyway Goodluck sa mga mag move o nagplaplan palang.pakidalhan nga ako ng hokkien mee.

    more than a decade narin kami dito at ang sitwasyon namin ay di rin kami ma-PR PR, kaya nag-decide na kami to move on from SG. kahit kasi mahal na mahal namin siya, di naman namin maramdaman ang pagmamahal niya. ginagawa din namin ito para talaga sa future po ng anak namin and for our future retirement plan as well. napaka-insightful sir ng sinulat niyo at eto na yata ang pinaka-detailed na experience na nabasa ko so far dito sa forum. buti po at naisipan niyo ulet mag-login dito. nakaka-excite tuloy lalo mag-big move na jan. salamat po sa pag-share.

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)


    2020

    Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.

    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.


    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.

    Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).

    Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.

    more than a decade narin kami dito at ang sitwasyon namin ay di rin kami ma-PR PR, kaya nag-decide na kami to move on from SG. kahit kasi mahal na mahal namin siya, di naman namin maramdaman ang pagmamahal niya. ginagawa din namin ito para talaga sa future po ng anak namin and for our future retirement plan as well. napaka-insightful sir ng sinulat niyo at eto na yata ang pinaka-detailed na experience na nabasa ko so far dito sa forum. buti po at naisipan niyo ulet mag-login dito. nakaka-excite tuloy lalo mag-big move na jan. salamat po sa pag-share.

    I feel like the need to answer kasi alam ko yun feeling na hesitant dahil pinagdaanan namen dati yan. Sugal tlga. Lalo na nun time namen middle of the pandemic, whole family, no place to live, no work,less jobs ads kasi pandemic. haha. fight lang. Ayaw ko din dumating sa point na katulad ng kainuman ko sa SG noon na 50+ na (SG citizen sya) may what if sya kun tinuloy nya yun AU nya noon. Kasi nag woworry na sya at close to retirement na sya parang ayaw nya yun idea na bumalik pinas kasi yun mga anak nya nasa SG. tpos may mga maintenance na gamot na rin.

    Sa feeling na inde minahal ng SG, I can relate. Nakailang apply ako ng citizenship at PR sa anak. Kabado at umaasa kada bubuksan ang mahiwagang letter ng ICA only to read "We regret to inform blah blah....". Ni walang dahilan. Parang sa movie lang I deserve an explanation. hahaha

    Pero inde ako bitter sa SG, thankful ako sa opportunity at sa CPF na nagamit kong pambili ng bahay. hahaha

    Isa pa palang napakalaking CON dito sa AU regarding food.
    Inde pa naliligaw yung pesteng bubuyog (Jollibee). Masyadong mailap. sabi magkakaroon na raw dito sa Sydney. napakatagal. pero other than that almost all ng food na meron sa pinas mabibili mo dito like dugo ng baboy, isaw, kwek kwek, reno, etc.

    Magandang araw po! Para po sana sa mga nandito na sa Australia, ano pong ma-recommend nyo na courier service na pwedeng magdeliver ng package/balikbayan box (gaya ng Jollybox or LBC) from AU to SG? Nagtingin po kasi ako ng Aus Post or DHL para sa 30kg pero mejo masakit po sa bulsa compared sa mga parang Jollybox. Papadala po ako ko sana mga nasa 20-30kg na mga damit at ibang gamit eh. Saka kung magpapadala po, gano katagal kung sakali? Maraming salamat po!

    To add pa pala. Sorry flooding. na naisip ko lang at baka matagal na naman ako maka login dito. Baka lang makatulong sa mga nagbabalak o nagaalangan:

    AU
    1. Mas lenient sila sa visitor visa ng mga kapamilya. Sa SG noon, kahit PR kame the most na pede sponsor ang parents is 3 months. You can try to exit but too risky (based sa experience to). At kapag bumalik yun visitor mo within the same year after ng 3 months nya may chance ma question. Sa AU, 1 year visa pede ma grant. Then pedeng may multiple entry na option for 3 years. pedeng 1 year straight then exit ng 6 months then 1 year again.
    2. Pag PR ka sa AU at nanganak automatic citizen kagad bata. Nun sa SG pinanganak anak ko napaka dyahe. Punta ICA to register then punta PH embassy for passport then balik ICA for extension ng visitor visa kasi d aabot yun passport. Medyo dyahe lang sana ibigay na lang ng SG govt kahit 3 months man lang as if naman mag TNT yun anak mo at mag work. hehe. Walang pang 1 month ibyahe mo na anak mo kasi personal appearance sa ICA
    3. HDB is 99 years lease. Alam ko inde ka naman mabubuhay ng ganon katagal pero ang apo mo inde na makikinabang sa bahay. Dito perpetual ang ownership.
    4. Speaking of HDB and high rise living, masarap manirahan sa bahay na inde ka nabwibwisit sa taas mo kasi dribble ng dribble o kalampagan yun upuan, at inde ka maiinis kasi natutuluan yun sinampay mo kasi inde nag dryer yun sa taas na bahay. Inde mo iniisip yun sa baba mo na baka maingay kayo
    5. Dameng magagandang beach dito para sa mga mahilig mag bikini
    6. Mas open sila dito sa lahat ng bagay. like sa Sg bawal trans na suot. may pink movement etc. dito magugulat ka sa mga suot ng mga beks. hehehe. mas open minded sila sa feelings ng bawat isa. minsan nakakabwisit na kasi inde na dapat pinoproblema ginagawa pang issue para ma please lahat., like example - may napanood ako dati bakit wala daw walang sanitary pad sa mens toilet. hehehe. Speaking of open minded, dito kahit mag lagay ka ng flag ng pinas sa harap ng bahay mo walang sisita sayo.
    7. may mga fruit picking dito na nakaktuwa rin kun mahilig ka sa ganon. sa Sg naalala ko nag fruit picking kame sa NTUC parati

    SG
    1. Mas mura ang kumain sa labas kun hawker at fast food ang comparison ha. although madame naman kasi serving dito sa food court. pero kun Resto halos same lang. minsan mas mura pa dito kasi yun price dito yun na yun. Wala ng add ng service at GST. bigyan ko kayo example ang Ippudo dito na karaka ramen ay $17. walang ng add dyan. tanda ko sa SG noon $18 may + GST at service charge pa. ewan ko lang ngayon baka nag increase sila price
    2. mas mura ang mga tix sa SG ng attractions. gaya ng sabi ko mahal ang service dito. Like yun SG zoo nasa $20 lang dito mga nasa $40+.
    3. para sa mga manginginom, sa SG pede ka magpakalasing at mag taxi pauwi. Dito dahil lahat may sasakyan, 1 or 2 bottles ka lang kundi baka ma breath test ka. hehe. unless iwan sasakyan mo at mag taxi rin. Yun lang para sa same distance say $20 sa SG baka close to $100 na dito. kasi nga onti lang taxi dito dahil karamihan may sasakyan. at need mo book inde yun parang SG na aabang ka lang at papara.
    4. Mas mahaba open ang malls sa SG, dito karamihan 6PM lang except Thursday mas mahaba hangang 9pm
    5. May time diff sa pinas ang AU, SG wala (sa sydney 2hrs or 3 hrs advance depending sa Daylight savings)
    6. kapag DnD, sa Sg uso yun may pa raffle at masarap mga food. dito usually inuman lang at onting pika pika. wala tlgang food. heheh. at walang raffle. sayang..

    Groceries/Food
    same lang saken to kasi may mura dito na mahal dyan and vice versa
    Time ng tao (depends sa preference mo)
    early bird ang mga tao dito. sa office namen may mga nag work na ng 630am kasi maaga din nauwi. Sa Sg usually 9am ang start. Dito yun mga trades kadalasan 7am

    Just got update from EA, so far clear ang SG experience ko, last time and naka upload ko lang is SPass and IRAS. I think need mo upload ang SPass copy mo.

    Ang hinihingi lang now is yung Dubai experience ko.

    Noted po, na read ko na din po, ang question po is, is it valid pa din ang SG license once ma cancel na ang work pass, di tulad ng PR po even na pumunta sa AU is PR pa rin po..

    Pwede pa din ba syang convert sa AU license just to bring the booklet you completed the lessons and exam?

    based on my exp only, valid pa din ung SG driver's licence, direct conversion lang punta ka sa service centre. pinakita ko lang ung id mismo.

    Hello po sa mga nagkaroon ng SG driving license, paano po naging procedures nyo nung nag convert kayo ng license given na foreigner po at hindi PR sa SG, If after grant po is nag resign at na cancel na ang working pass, invalid na din po ba ang license? Valid pa po ba sya sa Australia I convert? Or need to take exam pa ulet.. Salamat po..

    Sa pagkaalala ko, may thread na nitong driver's license conversion recently lang, from Conboyboy. Fnfollow ko lang din yun. Backread kaunti.

    Noted po, na read ko na din po, ang question po is, is it valid pa din ang SG license once ma cancel na ang work pass, di tulad ng PR po even na pumunta sa AU is PR pa rin po..

    Pwede pa din ba syang convert sa AU license just to bring the booklet you completed the lessons and exam?

    based on my exp only, valid pa din ung SG driver's licence, direct conversion lang punta ka sa service centre. pinakita ko lang ung id mismo.

    Salamat Sir :-)
