Most will not qualify for the rental assistance, knowing sporeans- they will not accept lower income jobs for long. Many have packed their bags as they lack determination and pride is important for them. However, I agree Oz rent is ridiculous these days(not as bad than Hk or sg) but with a high...

Oz companies are more open these days.eg CBA's CEO is a kiwi, Westpac CEO is a South African. Of course they are still white predominantly. Though Asians are increasing in numbers Oz they are still minorities especially for leadership roles. However, there are quite a few middle Mgr Asian roles...

I also know of another group deep down want to move oversea but on surface keep stressing Spore is the best place on earth! (to mask their fear of emigration)

Dumb - absolutely, they often make mistakes in work and after all these years they are still known as the white thrash explains it all. Racist because they are ignorant but who is not racist in this world? The chinese are equally racist too but just don't voice openly. Drunk - Yes they...

this is the downside of emigrating to oz.....start from low but eventually you'll find the job matches your profession.(Still - don't set your expectation too high, white collar jobs in OZ are generally less challenging & stimulating than back home). Upside - you have better work-life balance...

Of course, the renumeration they get in SG is absurb in which they would never get at home(Oz) even for a mediocre talent - plus the low tax and affordability of domestic services - I have a few Aussie friends working in SG; they only want to return when they are about to retire or spend more...

I don't know about that, i would have preferred HK though and closer to my partner's family, but economy is slowing down in HK as well.

I think you have to move where the job/or career opportunity is - in this age and time.

There's pros and cons in every country, living abroad from time to time you'll learn to appreciate your home country more - at the same time you would also embrace your adopted country ie.Australia. Put the crappy Sg govt system aside, the accessibility and convenient to food and services in...

Yea, I saw this advertisement before. Mining is the one drives the economy but everything else is flat. So for those in mining industry, outlooks is great as long China has strong demand.

and why would they source the skills from Spore which is not a resource-rich country?

Not everyone is in mining, gas or oil industry. For Aussies, Australia's job opportunities are limited so they moved to US/Europe, SG or HK. For Sinkies, they are discriminated in their own country so they moved overseas, Australia not neccessary provide the career opportunities they would...

a lot of migrants are quitting Oz as well, esp the britons...

anyone thinking of migrating to OZ better think twice! Australia's pricey prices February 22, 2012, 6:18 pm Damien Hansen Today Tonight Australia's long been known as the lucky country, but we're also becoming the costly country, as our prices keep going up due to the strong economy...

book a flight there, once landed be ready to take up any jobs eg. dishwasher, cleaner to get yourself started, sleep anywhere on the street or a very rundown motel,and hopefully the employer is willing to sponsor you a H1 visa. NY is a not a place for anyone - people there can be cruel,cold...

No everyone lives in a big house these days. In Sydney, living in apartments is a norm nowadays, forget about the family rooms. It's the lack of competition and barrier of entry makes Oz so unaffordable eg. Woolies vs Coles, Only 4 major retail banks, Myers vs David Jones etc etc. Labor...

Well in Spore u can rely mostly on public transport so owning a car is not a neccessity. In Sydney it's inconvienent to move around without a car even if u live near city (scooters/bikes are common here though). Houses wise u have to live at least 20km from the city to get a affordable unit...

I never been to Vancouver but one of my relative has been living there for many years. I promise i will visit someday. Having speaking to friends who have been there - it's a stunning city with beautiful scenic and harbour(very much like Sydney) except it's a lot colder and there's many asians...

the globe is getting smaller, people tend to be mobile nowadays and extended families living in different cities across the world hence choices are not limited to settle down in one country. This report is nothing new anyway, out of 100 immigrants there always be a percentage of them could...
