not just NZ thou, my brother in law, he got a job in Dubai working for an Iranian company, was made redundant after only a few months, they didn't pay him all his wages. He then found a job in Dubai working for a British company, then again a few months later was made redundant again, but at least they paid him all his wages and for his air ticket back to the phils.. not a good time for foreign workers :NoNo:

i am 100klm north of Sydney and I can confirm that there is a lot of unemployment around and I use Ex pat forum and many of those waiting for job related visa have been dumped.


But if anybody knows how a filipina can get a work visa into Aussie...let us know!!

Try this link.

If a filipina gets enough points, and can get an employer to sponsor her unless one is highly skilled enough with money, then work visa won't be a problem.
