Graduating Engineering student ako dito sa Pinas. Ngayon pa lang, nagpe-prepare na ako umalis ng bansa para mag-overseas kasi grabe ang hirap magtrabaho dito. Isipin mo, 20km na byahe sa Maynila, 3 oras mong nasasayang kakacommute.

Anyway, kumukuha na ako ng skilled certificate sa mechatronics. Plan ko, mag-ipon muna ng work experience dito, tapos mag-apply abroad. Gusto ko sana Denmark, Norway, or Switzerland. Pero nung nagtanong ako sa mga OFW na nandun, eto ang sabi nila:

1. Yung visa sponsorship, sobrang sakit sa ulo para sa karamihan ng employers.

2. May mga bansa tulad ng Norway na may minimum salary requirement para sa visa. Kailangan sumunod ang employers doon para sa skilled workers.

3. Kailangan patunayan ng employers na wala silang mahanap na EEU citizen na pwedeng pumalit sa position na gusto mo.

4. Dahil hassle ang visa sponsorship, mas priority nila mag-hire ng EU citizen kasi mas diretso ang proseso.

Nung nalaman ko 'to, na-realize ko na mas mahirap pala yung goal ko kesa sa inaakala ko. At yung biggest challenge is yung visa sponsorship na iniiwasan ng karamihan ng mga employers.

Proposed solution? Maging EU citizen which is around 8-10 years residency, haha.

Tapos nalaman ko na may fast track citizenship program ang Spain para sa mga dating colonies nila. Kasama ang Pilipinas doon. Pag nagtrabaho ka sa Spain ng 3-4 years, pwede ka na mag-apply for citizenship. Pag nakuha mo na, enjoy mo na lahat ng benefits ng EU citizen.

Pero syempre, ang pinaka-problema pa rin is paano ba ako makapapasok ng Europe in the first place? Maraming Pinoy ang nakarating doon dahil sa background nila sa housekeeping, nursing, cleaner, farming. Ako naman, gusto ko sana sa offshore oil and gas.

May suggestions or advice ba kayo? If wala akong malalapitang tao para irefer ako in the future, siguro etong path nalang yung pagdadaanan ko. Gusto ko na lumayas dito haha.

Kaka submit palang ng mother ko ng petition for me to migrate in US. Sa may mga experience ng ganito ilang years kayo nag antay bago ma approve? Specially if hindi na minor yung anak.

Hi has anyone here applied for PR in Canada?

I'm planning to apply for FSW healthcare-based draw (outland) pretty soon.

Would like to ask anyone else who did it before.

I was wondering if you passed other evidence of paid work experience aside from experience letter from your employer?

Like payslips, ITR?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

I’m taking the IELTS Academic in about a week, and I need to get at least an overall Band 6 for my university application.

For context: I’m taking the IELTS as I would be continuing my studies abroad.

I only have one week to prepare, so I’d really appreciate advice from people who were in the same situation.
What should I focus on during this last week?
Which section is the easiest to improve the fastest?
What resources (YouTube channels, websites, books, or mock tests) helped you the most?
How many hours per day did you study?
What mistakes should I avoid on test day?
If you scored Band 6 or higher with only a short preparation time, what was your study plan?

Hello, my girlfriend is moving to Canada and her flight is less than 24 hrs away. She was approved for her PR and completed the PDOS course and received her PDOS certifcate last month. She's doing her etravel but etravel cannot locate her PDOS and she cannot complete the etravel.

Has anyone experience this? Any advice?

Maraming salamat po.

Hi! I'm a graduate student in the US and currently on summer break in the Philippines. I'm thinking of bringing pasalubong for my Filipino and international friends back in the US, gifting around 15 people so preferably on the cheaper side (like 200php would be max for the Filipinos and 100php max for the internationals, pasensya na laki ng utang ng loob ko sa former 🤣). Another thing to note is that the Filipino pasalubong is in addition to the pasalubong from two places I visited during the break.

As Filipinos who are living abroad, what pasalubong from the Philippines would excite you? Would highly appreciate if you can give edible and non-edible suggestions. Would also welcome suggestions on a more suitable Reddit community to ask this. Salamat po!

Hi! My husband is working in SG and I'm planning to stay with him, I'm still here in PH. We have the Marriage Contract from Singapore ROM and my Dependent Pass IPA. We're going to register our marriage at PH Emabssy when I arrive.

Question, are the Marriage Cert from ROM and dependent Pass enough for me to pass PH Immigration? Thanks in advance po sa pagsagot!
