in How long did it take you to get a job? Comment by hard2handle December 2013
Double check ko lang. Yung visa natin, we are not entitled to any government allowance diba? Medical, school etc?

Salamat @TasBurrfoot. I was considering the fee, toll gate (from Laguna), gas, parking at of course food so definitely more than P300 hehe. But yes, you are right. I have already sent e-mail to CFO. Try ko muna ang e-mail para sure para I have …

in Things to do first Before going to Australia Comment by hard2handle November 2013
Tama din po ba ang intinde ko na since we are on a Provisional Resident Visa, we are not required to get CFO dahil it is only "for those permanently leaving the country"? Our provisional visa is only for 3years but we can apply for Permanent Resi…

What about VEVO po? Per grant letter, we are to call 131 881 to set up a password since we don't have a TRN. Upon further checking at DIAC website, this number is to be called if from within Aus. Did any of you made the overseas call to VEVO or…

in Temporary accomodation in Melbourne Comment by hard2handle November 2013
Ok, noted. Salamat @lock_code2004. Iniisip ko if need ba ng employer ito. Parang I read somewhere kasi na isa sa suggestion is to get qualification for your non-Aus degree for job hunting etc.

Hi, All! Sorry but I am a bit lost. When getting the Aus equivalent of our Phil degree, is this for a specific Visa or any one should do this for job opportunities? Saan kaya in particular makakakuha nito? We will be based in Melbourne. Salamat…
