There are couple of chaps that have been gracious enough to provide insight, valuable guidance and their experience as they moved to greener pastures. I thought it might be a good idea to raise issues that might be helped out by these chaps. They have shown their helpfulness on many occasions when issues were raised.
Neddy - Perth/OZ
Charlie 9 - Toronto / Canada
Kiwibird - Christchurch / New Zealand
Littlefish - New Zealand
ExSingaporean - Edmonton / Canada
Scroobal - OZ/UK/US/
Leongsam - NZ/OZ/UK
Aussieprick - US
There many others who have moved and who have posted helpful views such as IWC2006, Ash007, ManBearPig 62 etc. There are others like Trout and Profiro that have worked and studied overseas and can throw valuable adice as well.
(Please add on names of experts if I have missed any) More from the States and UK are required.
Couple of guidlelines
- do your basic research first on PR requirements before raising an issue. These can be easily accessed at the various countries immigration websites which are detailed to a high degree
- don't PM until the offer is made. Post your question here so that others too can learn and those who have the relevant expereience can chip in.
- post a short background like if you are a single, family, mid career, business opportunities etc. Nothing personal required at all.
- the best things to ask are those soft and qualitative questions such as mindset, challenges, impact of oneself and family, tips on relocating, acquiring property, school enrollment, meeting up with people, sinking roots etc
- also in the mix are liability issues such as NS, renunciation procedures, selling HDB property, CPF withdrawal matters and citizenship issues
- not forget mundane stuff like good food outlets for chicken rice, laksa if they are available at the locale.
Don't be upset if the responses are slow and limited. They tend to pick as the subject matter experts come on line after attending to travel or on more important businesses.
I have taken the great liberty of listing these forummers as they have been shown to very helpful in the past. Don't blame them but me if no reponse is forthcoming.
The listing will also help to narrow down the forummer that can throw light on your destination when you do a search against the same to find out things that have been covered in the past.
None of us profess to know everything and can be right all the time. But we are prepared to share our experiences. The final decision has to be made by you based on a set of infromation that you think are accurate and right.
