Triple-S Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hi everyone,Thought I'd do the proper thing and present myself to the forum. So here goes: Hi, I'm Shannon and together with the wyfie (Sharon) and 14-going-on-24 son (Shaun) we've also decided to take the big leap, scary as it is. We're from Cape Town.Anyway, I registered about a month ago on the forum and got loads of info to set me on the right track/path. I intend to apply for PR on a 175 visa. So far I've applied for:- unabridged birth certificates- unabridged marriage certificate- renewed passports (all ours expires this year, September)I have also booked us (the wife and I) online for the IELTS exam on 6 September in Cape Town - still have to pay though before I can get confirmation for this date. Will hopefully do that tomorrow or the day after. I'm now in the process of compiling all my educational documents, employer references and resume (in Aussie format) for submission to the ACS for skills assessment.So, you guys might not know it, but you have already helped me so much by just replying/chatting on this forum. Thanks for that.Wow, I still have so much to do but it's damn exciting! Keep on chatting...Regards,Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple-S Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks for the welcome, everyone.To answer your question on where I'm hoping to settle: I intend making an holiday/LSD trip in December 2008 hoping to check out Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. I know an ex colleague living in the Cold Coast who said we can crash with them while on Holiday.I would love to hear from people living in these 3 cities already. How did you decide, what's the cost of living, which one has better opportunities for IT people, which one(s) has the good/better high schools, etc. Any other advice is also welcome.Regards,Triple-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
