ohh...how lucky we are....:rolleyes::lol:

Definitely you guys are lucky. Amma uyana bath kanawa wage wena rahak thiyeyida machang? Dan mata raha mathakath naha kotinma :lol: What to do :) This is what we chose, so no regret :D

But the small problem is, if you earn in Sri Lanka, there is a limit for enjoyment. But when you earn in a foreign country, the fun is unlimited when you're back in SL. And SL gets good foreign exchange too :yes:

Yeah me too. (Recipe from my mum) But it didn't come-out nicely. Maybe something to do with the flour. Have to try again next year... :) Don't you have salmon? Salmon is better than tuna machang :D

haha...SL walin pita inna ayata SL is da BEST lu..:P
LMAO

Only they know the difference!! :rolleyes:

People got many commitments dude, everybody's plate is not same!

What if.... you have siblings that still schooling and you need to support them financially because your parents are jobless? Can you do with a SL wage?

What if.... stuff you learn only can be used out of Sri Lanka?

What if.... you are married to a foreign national?

So think about it... there's more to non-resident Sri Lankans than you can ever imagine!

If tomorrow you get an offer from US, Europe company with a 5 figure salary, I highly doubt that you will reject it!!:P

Replying to this PM here, so possibly others can get the benefit too :)
[PM is edited a bit due to conflict of interest]



First of all, I know nothing about the immigration laws in NZ. So I can't give an intelligent answer for it machang.

But when it comes to IT, all countries do have opportunities to qualified people. By saying qualified, I didn't mean just a degree would be enough. You need to have some professional level qualification (Cisco, Microsoft, Java, Linux certified courses) to get good opportunities.

There are friends of mine, who completed the degree with me few years back without a 'proper' job yet.

AUS also have that kinda permit. you can work 20 hrs per week while studying and can work full time during the semester breaks. The spouse of an undergraduate also can work 20 hrs per week while a spouse of a postgraduate can work full time.

Personally I don't think that you can earn all the course fee + Living expenses by doing the 20 hr job. Even I couldn't. (I had a job which paid me $30 per hr, whereas the normal pay rate is $15 - $20.... So even I couldn't earn the full course fee by that.)

But there are ways to do it. Sorta illegal. But you can do. such as getting a credit card and loans from banks.

There are opportunities to qualified and creative people. Most of all you need to be a good communicator to get a job in AUS. Because we operate in a relationship based level. Not on hardcore management theory level.

Opportunities do not get decreased due to population. That's a small misconception bro. When more people come to Aus, more suberbs get developed. If we concider the land area of Australia, still the people live in a very small part of the continent. So there is a huge potential for growth, especially in the oil & mining industry.

Personally I think cookery and hair dressing will not get a good recognition in the future. Don't ask why coz it's just my instinct. May or may not happen. But I don't recommend somebody to do cookery and hair dressing now.

About the PR... Yes, currently if you study full time for 2 yrs, you can get a PR if you pass the points test. (you get the PR if you have 120 points.)
But for every 4 years, they revise the law. So things might not look so bright & good after another 3 years. (They last revised the laws in September 2007).
[Again that's their choice... They can revise the laws anytime they want.]

So better grab the opportunity at hand.

The theory is, Australia needs good intelligent hard workers. So if you're one of them, you can get the PR somehow. Coz even the rules got changed, you will somehow be eligible. (Mostly Sri Lankans are like that by nature.)

Competition is there for part time jobs. It is divided in a nice way though.
Sri Lankans - Cleaning
Indians - Taxi driving
Chinese - Restaurants
etc.

But you don't need to stick to that area. There are people who get desk jobs as part time jobs. (e.g. my self :lol:) You have to apply for jobs without getting disheartened. Somehow you'll get a job if you're a good communicator and a critical person with some experience.

Without any experience OR without an Australian qualification, it is hard to get a good job.

Hope this helps :)

NZ is not bad. But sorry, I can't answer for things which I don't know, coz it will destroy your future if I tell wrong info.

tx. dis contains valueable info for me.. :yes: :)
