    Reply to @TotoyOZresident: Sorry to sound quite stupid with this question hehe.

    Talagang may snow dyan?

    Walang snow dito panay frost lang ang ground surface especially kung umaga. Ang may snow sa snow mountain 3 hours travel by car from canberra.

    mahal ang parking sa city.. kung sa suburb na hindi built up, libre parking.. pero built up areas usually may bayad..

    kung sa Sydney CBD ka nagwowork for sure mahal ang parking.. so mas madali kung train na lang then bus kase hindi ka pa pagod sa pagddrive.

    Good yan, kung nagsisimula ka pa lang unahin mo ang sasakyan kaysa bahay. malaking bagay ang may sasakyan lalo mahilig ka gumala. Staka you can manage your time pag may kotse. Necessity ang kotse dito. kailangan bago ka pumunta dito may idea kana sa pagdrive kung hindi malaki magagastos mo sa driving lesson. ako umaabot ng 2 thou kasi zero knowledge ako sa driving. sulit nman din kasi parang investment na rin sa akin yun. Staka kung may sasakyan puede ka mag part time job kung kaya ng katawan mo. Bumili ka muna ng second hand car pag kabisado mo na ang klase ng daan dito at kung stable kana staka ka bumili ng brand new car. Madali naman makakuha ng car loan. Kung single ka pa lang maghanap ka ng shared accommodation para unan at kumot lang bibilhin mo. Pagka nagkapamilya kana dun ka pa lang kumuha ng unfurnished accommodation. Enjoy lang... Goodluck

    You can check the rental rates in www.allhomes.com.au
    sa pagkain affordable naman mas maganda magluto at magbaon para tipid.

    kung 3 bedroom ang kailangan nyo malamang mababa na makuha nyo 400 per week depende saan suburb. Just check the site. cheers

    @faa317 medyo na naging interested me sa application nyo, balak ko rin kasi mag migrate at sa Canberra din. Ang iniisip ko lang ay yung show money na 30k or 45k, napakahirap maipon yun. At paano nyo po yun papakita kung sakaling kailanganin kung wala po talagang mapapakita. Please help, iniisip ko kasing maigi yung ganong situation. Sino po kaya ang magche2ck na meron kayong ganong amount?

    @mags in our case po wla po naman tumawag sa amin for verification kun may ganun gaming amount sa awa ng dios. Pero sabi ng agent namin kailangan nga daw ready just in case, pray lang po kami ng pray. pero so far daw wla panaman daw tumawag sa kanilang mga clients. Cgro trusted na yung agent namin basta i declare lang daw pati properties na meron ka at yung lawyer na nla mag notarize. hindi nga namin inexpect eh less than a year approved na kami. :))

    Tuloy mo lang yan Mayt pero wala akong alam sa skill select. Ang alam ko 457 Visa pero limited na rin kasi every year nagbabago ang sistema ng immigration. hanapin mo lang sa ibang forum dito. Mag basa basa ka lang dito at Mag tanung lang ng magtanung libre naman eh walang bayad. Pero mag self research ka rin sa ibang forum site na about sa visa na inaapplyan mo. i search mo lang google. Puede din dito www.pomsinoz.com or sa www.immi.gov.au

    Good luck and God bless.. cheers Mayt.

    Thank you sir, nag self study and research lang ako via Skill Select and binigyan na ako invitation to apply. Via State Sponsored Visa yung application ko. Right now may case officer na ako at kailangan ko nalang magbigay ng documents pati medical.

    Canberra ang punta ako kaya hingi ako tulong sa iyo tungkol sa pasikot sikot sa Canberra pag mabigyan ako visa.

    Good luck, Maganda dito sa Canberra, friendly karamihan dito at maganda mag stay dito kapag may pamilya na. Maganda rin ang klima winter ngayun. Kung single ka malungkot kapag walang sasakyan pero kapag may car masaya kasi makakapunta ka kung saan saan pati Sydney 3 hrs lang ang biyahe :D. Hindi rin naman heavy traffic dito. Maraming din pinoy dito at kung christian ka maraming mga church na mapupuntahan, may catholic church din dito. May JIL dito at may bible study rin every week. Hindi rin malungkot dito kasi may sports activities ang mga pinoy tulad ng basketball, bowling at iba pa. Mataas ang cost of living dito pero affordable naman basta may work at kung kaya mo mag-part time job may maapplyan naman.

    Good luck and God bless.

    @TotoyOZresident yun nga ang nabasa ko na mataas daw cost of living pero tingin ko naman mataas din naman ang salary bracket kaya affordable din naman. Ang pinaka concern ko lang pag dating ko eh yung paghanap ng trabaho at tirahan. Kahit anong trabaho pwede naman basta makapag simula lang :)
