Canberra - Here we come!!!

edited March 2012 in ACT - Canberra
Dear all forumers,

This is a headstart to all aspirants who are planning to live/work in Canberra or who have been in Canberra already. Take time reading this thread about the lifestyle (mostly positive feedbacks naman) in Canberra and please share your thoughts.

http://the-riotact.com/relocating-to-canberra-need-information-please/23595

I just come across this particular topic below that says:

You don’t mention your citizenship status, but one thing to consider is that this is a goverrnment town. Your husband has a job now, but if he wants to change jobs or you finish school and want to work, and you aren’t citizens, you may find it hard to get professional work (the majority of which is working for or consulting to government). Citizenship is a requirement for many such jobs.

Gaano po ito katotoo, forumers your turn please....:)

    Citizenship ay 4 years residency naman kaya hindi naman siya mahirap makamtan.

    What's interesting is that government jobs there earn top salaries (in a legitimate manner!) hehe

    Our best bet is to check out seek.com.au, canberratimes.com.au and go to jobs as a lot of local companies advertise in there. Hth!

    Hello everyone, we were recently granted a State-Nominated visa (Permanent)...parating po kami buong pamilya this February 2013. Ang problema po namin ngayon eh wala pa po kami matitirhan dyan and by checking sa mga short-term accommodation eh grabe ang mahal. Mas mababa sana kung diretso na rent, which I think hindi puede na agad-agad, kasi madami pa daw requirements. Baka po meron kayo alam diyan na nag-ooffer ng shared accommodation na mas mura compared dun sa mga naka-post online.. Maraming salamat po.

    To OP, in my line of work hindi lang citizenship ang kailangan, recruiters require me to have special security clearances to work in the government even consulting firms down there.

    Just to add to Davidx23's comment, may iba ibang levels yung security clearances (e.g. Baseline, NV1, etc.) depende sa requirement ng government agency at depende sa exposure mo data na hahawakan mo.

    If you will be working in a consulting company whose clients are government agencies then sila magbabayad niyan para sa iyo pero kung ikaw magbabayad masakit sa bulsa plus minimum 6 months before mo makuha yung clearance.

    @ae12, try checking mga job sites like Seek, CareerOne, etc. One thing to note though is that IT jobs in Canberra usually require citizenship, or security clearances since most jobs are under Federal Gov't offices.
