Trex101 3rd Gear January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 I have thoughts of leaving as well, but mainly concerned over CPF issues. Once I relinquish my sg citizenship, will I get back whatever $ I have in my CPF? Yes, once you relinquish your Sg citizenship, it takes 6-8mth before they will return you all your CPF money. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 Yes, once you relinquish your Sg citizenship, it takes 6-8mth before they will return you all your CPF money. Waiter, they will return your CPF money. Good to know. My good friend was studying in OZ, & after that work there. Studying at the country you are going to migrate is usually a good method (not necessary always the case). unfortunately, I knew it too late. Now work happily, married with a little boy, with a nice car (Euro R) & a rather big 2 storey house (semi detach). He loved outdoor, & is well spoken, so I guess he feel well & good in Australia. I think the key to a happy life oversea is to be able to integrate into the society, able to mix with the locals, & feel home. I should know.... Alot of people get "touchy" when it comes to migration & such. Didn't the government used to use the word "Quiter" or something like that. But in my opinion, one wanted to best lifestyle for himself/herself & their children, as long as they find a place they feel better for themselves & their next generation, they have my blessing.

E_b_l_s Neutral Newbie January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 No, I don't classify myself as a 'quiter'. We are all living our own lives, not the government's. We all seek happiness and it just happens that one of the 'happiness factor' includes leaving sg and living life as it should be. By the way, back to the CPF matter, ALL $ includes ALL $ from medisave, special and ordinary accounts too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is suitable to live in Australia, they must have the mentality of integrating into that new society and leave their Spore mentality behind.

Fcw75 Hypersonic January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 Ironically, the person who used the word 'quitter', his daughter is living in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowwarrior Neutral Newbie January 3, 2011 Share January 3, 2011 (edited) Ironically, the person who used the word 'quitter', his daughter is living in the UK. It was expected from the start. Once you milk the ppl dry over here obviously you would want your family to go to a nice place to settle down and enjoy all the earnings No surprise at all on this one Win win situation for them If they get booted out soon they will retire happily in another country If not they will cont milking sporeans and postphone their migration plans Edited January 3, 2011 by Rainbowwarrior Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husnultaufiq Neutral Newbie January 4, 2011 Author Share January 4, 2011 Thanks for all the feedback and the links to look out as well.... firstly, i've never worked/studied abroad myself but my sis is married to an englishmen and has a daughter who've been living in London for almost 10 years now. the reasons as to why i'm looking into the options of moving abroad isnt mainly in terms of having a better job or pay. its more of taking my future family away from this country. (personal reason) i've had a job offered previously to be a brand manager of a ladies boutique in vietnam but ended up not taking it as its a country which i have no knowledge of as well as the difference in language. thus the countries that i have had in mind are as follows; 1. Australia (Sydney/Perth) 2. London (Sister is there) 3. New Zealand (Job opportunities) 4. Canada 5. USA Among these, i've been to london the most often, sydney and states once. Currently i'm bonded with my company till 2013 then after i plan to move off. 29 this year, done mostly retail management currently in the force. So hopefully you guys can keep those feedback and advice coming. Really appreaciate whatever comments made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benarsenal Turbocharged January 4, 2011 Share January 4, 2011 I have applied to go to Aussie. Been told will take abt 6 to 18 months (got some tests to take and blah blah). It will cost you a bit of money (obviously), and it's best that you arrange for accomodation and a job when you eventually get the go ahead to move there. If you have family or friends currently living where you intend to migrate too, it will make things a hell of a lot easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos you are the only one who know which one you like most and one that you think you can live there for long term? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
