Alam ko may age limit din ang pag-apply ng PR (not sure kung ano exactly), climate as their saying here, " 4 seasons in 1 day". May snow sa South Island, sa North Island naman (topmost part) ang magagandang beaches. Airfare around 1600-2000 depende sa season at airlines (peak season mas mahal). Walang direct flight, ang pinakamabilis ay Singapore Air (stop-over sa Singapore.

I heard mas maganda yata ang family assistance sa Oz kesa d2 at may $7-10,000 binibigay ng gov't sa 1st time home buyers, d2 next year pa ata start yun.

Meron ding student loan dito, pag me trabaho ka na tsaka ka lang mag babayad. Isa sa mga family tax benefits na binibigay ng gobyerno.

$7,000 yung first home owners grant (FHOG) kapag gawa na yung bahay. additional $7,000 pag mag papagawa ka pa ng bahay. Bawat state meron ding additional incentives para sa mga home buyers. Sa NSW, no stamp duty on purchase price pag first home. Wala ring real estate tax pag owner-occupied ang bahay. Sa SA, no stamp duty on home purchases of up to $250,000.

Marami pang benefits. Nakaka panibago nga eh, kasi gobyerno ang nagbibigay ng pera sa tao.

Up ko lang ito. Since our US petition is as slow as a snail and our age is "reversing back", we are thinking about NZ which, as estimated, will only take 2-3 years of processing.
