Korek claire. Kase worth it naman. Tsaka most of the time naman, kapag mag migrate ka, gagastos at gagastos ka talaga. Buti pa sa sg, mura lang PR application pero lately pahirapan ng makakuha. Hehe
Salamat and goodluck din sa application mo. Naku baka matagal pa ito, iyong mga nakikita kong timelines sa ibang sites, mostly it takes almost 2 years.
Ano pala timeline mo? Baka gusto mo ishare sa signature hehe

Claire mahirap talaga maghanap ng job habang wala pa rito sa New Zealand. Mas gusto nila makakausap nila ng personal for interviews.

@abish... pero kung nasa new zealand na mas madali ba? salamat more power.... db.. mag lo lodge palang wait ko lang birth certificate ng husband ko kasi may kaunting probs...pero pag lumabas ba un tapos mag lo-lodge a agad kmi then share ko agad ung time line ko heheheh... |

Post by aBiSh @admin on Jun 12, 2012 9:39:13 GMT 12
Oo. Mas madali maghanap ng work pag nasa New Zealand na kasi makakausap mo sila personally at direct impact yung pagpapabibo mo.
Alam nyo, ito para sa lahat, kapag hindi kayo nagpabibo talaga, at walang impact ang interview nila sa inyo, mahihirapan kayong maka-gain ng trust nila at makahanap ng trabaho.
Yun ang nag-work sa akin. I'm sure nag-work din sa iba. Nakakatawa man yung term pero yung pagpapa-BIBO lang yung tanging paraan para yung first impression ay mag-work.
Oo nga noh.. Teka magandang topic yan. Post ako ng tips (akala mo expert haha) in landing the job you want.

Nako isa yan sa hinaing ko noon. Grabeh sa mahal ang lahat ng proseso. Kahit yung mga kaibigan kong Kiwi nagulat sila sa sobrang mahal dahil wala silang idea kung gaano kahirap yung pinagdadaanan natin para lang makakuha ng residency. Pinaniwala ko na lang ang sarili ko na makatarungan yung halaga para masigurado nila na meron talagang kakayanan yung gustong manirahan dito. Kaso meron parang part sa akin na feeling ko manifestation din siya ng corruption dahil ang totoo, wala naman silang direct cost sa pag-tanggap at pag-process ng application eh. Meron silang ine-explain na "translation costs" etc, pero hindi naman applicable sa atin. Kung sa Pinas patago yung ganitong klaseng "pagpapadulas," dito naka-black and white talaga. Nakalagay pa sa website nila. |

Nagcocompute na ako ng expected na gagastusin, talagang nakakatuyo talaga. Tapos kung may increase pa by july, naku lalong dagdag gastos. Pwede na ba bayaran yung application fee kahit di pa kumpleto or nasubmit yung mga documents?

Onad, twice nagpa medical sila jhen kase iyong first medical nila, pasaway ang doctor, nilagay nyang may significant findings. Kaya naghingi sila second opinion and iyong second medical nila ay normal findings. Bitter kase iyong unang doctor, gustomdin mag nz pero di makaalis ng sg hehe.
Ang nzqa ay para ipaassess ang qualifications mo at titignan nila kung kagaya or katulad ba ito ng sa nz.
@ sebastdom thanks for sharing
Jhen - musta na wala pa balita from CO?
