A tips, dont believe all the ABS data about national employment. It`s too good to be true in reality.

'Earning USD', 'more than you ever will'.

If that is not an arrogant sod for you, I don't know what is.

Ain't nobody got time for trolls lah, seriously.

This thread is to HELP others. We SHARE valuable info, and try to HELP each other.

You, on the other hand hijack our thread, and then troll. Seriously dude. SERIOUSLY.
Maybe a mod should step in about now. Coz honestly, I realise most of us do not tolerate such negative, demeaning behaviour.

Why so butthurt when people say australia not good?  This is a forum after all. People deserve to hear the positive n negative side of things.

Seriously the successful ones i met r filfhy rich. I know a couple who runs some biz here n drives astin martin...they migrated to shift their biz to oz.

Its not exactly easy to get a mid range job...not everyone is in ur situation. A migrant has to persevere for another 3 or 4 yrs of oz work experience b4 getting a mid range job, if lucky.

Like wat u said...a migrant expectations has to be realistic. Can't expect to be ceo of co n then get same position in oz.

Here is not /k/.

If one have issue with others; keep it where it is and don't pollute the thread with irrelevant nonsense. Some did share their story about it didn't work out coming to Australia. But hey!; is it relevant to said something when one have not been here? icon_rolleyes.gif

empire23Geminist can you please step in mate.

Hey thats quite bias. So u say its only for those who hv been to oz can comment? Oh then those who interested in applying for migration can post here la. R u some sort of migration agent?

I hv migrated to oz didn't work out for me.

Everybody needs to know the pro n cons

What bias you are looking at.
I`m referring to particular posts that make no sense here.

Reason are as follow.

1. If you have not been here; please don't paint a picture that you know well. Like the book said.
2. There`s pro and cons. Not all grass is greener on the other side. You are entitled to choose which side you like to be in.
3. Please read what the comments said about the writer of the book.

Well, why don't share your story of what didn't work out. smile.gif

I applied PR when I didn't do my homework n research.

1- didn't like the jobs i was doing. Am an accountant but ended up doing photostat work like clerk.
2- no friends, lonely there.
3- other migrants there also selfish don't want to help. even my own relative, cousin didn't want to offer his place to bunk in, i had to stay at those B&B for awhile.
4- after 1 year i came back
*
Well. Here`s a sad case you don't know.

Been here; usually those job like accountants / professionals as mentioned on previous thread. They are oversupplied.

It clearly stated its your own fault to begin with.

I have friends who migrated over and got in same shoe as you. But I told them; you got a choice.

You go back; you are just wasted the time and resources.

Australia is not for everyone. Even the Brits/China/European mate said it them-self.

Its your choice.

I actually feel that even people who tried and gone back have nothing to lose. At least they gain some experience. There is nothing to be ashame about coming and leaving though.

That is reason you make a collective(informed) choice. I know how hard it is to actually leave Malaysia. But once you got over it; you will see it as just a small part of a bigger thing.

After all, Australia is becoming more like Malaysia but with more diversity.

Do consider about it require resource, time and adaptation. If one still undecided. Its better to just come here and experience by travelling.

I absolutely get what you mean.
Whether a person will succeed would depend on his desire to stay in Aust. Most Malaysians prefer the comfort of having a stable office job and will not accept the idea of changing to do something different, learn a skill to take up trades job.

Settling down in Australia could take years.. Some people take up to 5 years to settle. I am also still settling but I am really happy here and love being here. smile.gif
*
that`s one reason, if you read the previous thread. Lower your expectation on the jobs you get.

I met a lot people with good qualification`s and expertise. But they rather chose job like like cleaning; waiters, trade services and most because they know. Its less demanding and why stuck up to so much upper "professional" and tax.

easy money too. But just how you endure it.

I`m glad you are happy. Because that matter in quality of life here.

how's retirement going to be in Aussie? since there's quality of life, i presume people live longer too?

and Centrelink gives out some money but its barely enough to put food on the table
*
subjective question.

Heard stories of retiree`s not having enough saving due to government`s policy. Its hard to gauge. But retiring here is not the best option if you are not easily contented with basic.

Live longer/Aging population are a liability to Australia government. On the other side; its their policy that need to change and they have good support that need to be revamp.

It is hard to fix all their issues. But hey; that's the purpose of migrants like us.

You dont wish to be in Japan shoe.

i know Singapore's retirement is screwed, so i'd like to know also how much better is Aussie...

that's the purpose... if i'm those who are looking at a proper migration and not just working, saving and retiring in Malaysia... how doable is it in Aussie? please share your experience if possible :
*
Summary: I noticed alot Singaporean crossing over here.

On doable: As far I can say. Come when you are young. Not when you are 50s. There is a cut off and the older you get the harder to "adapt" due to culture difference. Your kids may be better for it.

Malaysia is not worst after all. It just the half-wit going on.

Yes, the State Nomination Agreement thingy!!
It state that you agree to remain living and working in WA for the first 2 years and agree to register your address with the WA govt and keep them informed your contact details. Somemore got registration survey, settlement survey etc. Then proof of funds also...
I guess every state have different requirement then.

Yea WA is quite good in a sense that it is nearer to Msia. But summer in WA is killing...41 celcius in the day and 16 at night...

Not all the time.

Depends alot on the Antarctica belt weather. This year confirm its going to be scorching heat.

Yes need to show you have 20k in your account if you are single applicant.
Anyway, as long as PR granted, i will be good and stay in WA as long as they want. lol...
Applying PR under accountant is really tough now as they have halved accountant to half and now only limited 70 pointers get invitation.
i'm lucky enough to get invitation as a 65 pointer.
finger crossed for the result!

Best of luck!

oooo...como...rich ppl area a~lol

Why did i applied offshore...
Its such a long story...
I prev go Aussy on a work n holiday visa and was lucky that boss then sponsor me on a 457.
Boss attitude changed once 457 granted and was mean by reducing the office staff into halve and i have to take up all workloads.
(take up 3 persons work yet still have to cover temp staff work, ot till late night, ot sat,i ot no double but aussy staff have TT)
But i sabar for the sake of employer sponsor PR la...
However everything turn sour when i asked my boss if he would like to sponsor me since i've been there 2 years.
He said ok at first and then i engaged agent and get everything rolling.
Then he said he is willing to sponsor me only with the condition of bonding me 6 more years to be fair for him.
I actually agreed at first (cant believe i'm so dumb...shakehead.gif) thinking that it is good at least i secured a job in current bad market.
But then he keep on scolding and shouting at me for nothing and blaming me for mistake either done by him or other staff.
At the same time he keep on giving excuses and not providing documents that agent needed for the visa.
He shouted at my agent and hang up on him without any reason.
My colleague actually eavesdropped that the boss said he dont want to sponsor me PR as he scare i'll resigned.

Since the boss have no intention to do this,so i decided to apply myself.
But then my 457 cancel once i resigned so i can only apply offshore lo  sweat.gif
*
shakehead.gif that`s verbal abuse in work place under 457 visa. Did you know you can sue the company for not keeping promises? smile.gif It is Australia; so law is for you to interpret and if you had record basis. You can bring down the company; all you need is a lawyer.

mad.gif

Usually; they blow bubble and buy your loyalty with fake carrot in your eyes. I knew this story all this while. Alot such; but venue for "such" cases are ignored until you bring it to court and challenge the company.

I hope your 190 works well. smile.gif flex.gif
