After our 1st consultation with Rayford, hubby decided to check out other agents to get a different views.
Hubby went to do another assessment at PRforAustralia and decided to check out the company - Global Migration.
We can get a free consultation before we decide to go ahead with the processes.
The company has no event in Penang so we decided to go to their office in KL since we will be in KL in the next few weeks.

How did it went?
We went to Evergreen Laurel Hotel this afternoon to meet up with the agent. The guy/consultant who attended to us named Vincent. According to him, we have quite a good chance since hubby is an engineer. He calculated the amount of points we can score with hubby as the primary applicant. He suggested we also use my aunt as a sponsor to gain more points.
There were a lot of stuff we chatted about which we still have doubts over and just to clarify that we stand a high chance of a successful application. According to Vincent, we need to spent roughly about RM15K - RM20K for the entire PR application inclusive of agent fees and fees payable to the Australian Government.

Looking for an Agent
After a lengthy discussion with hubby, we decided that we will engage an agent instead of DIY since we do not have the time to collate everything on our own.
Now, which agent to go to?
A run on some websites, there are many located in KL but rare in Penang. Most of these agents will conduct seminars in Penang every now and then so we have to wait for one that is coming here.
Mean while, hubby went to do an online assessment to check his chances of a successful application.

DIY or Agent?
Now that we have decided to go to Australia we have to think of the next step... the application. Should we DIY or get an agent to handle for us? Hubby is so busy with his job and putting together all the necessary documentations could be a chore!
If we want to use an agent, which one to go for?
Another mind bogging decision.

The survey
What we did next was to make a survey of each of the shortlisted countries.
1. USA
This is our first choice since hubby is attached to a US MNC now. We thought he could ask for a transfer or etc.. when we really decide if this is where we really want to be. The tax and health care is high though so we are quite concern on this area. Also, it is far from Malaysia... mean the journey can be quite daunting....
2. Canada
Though Canada is a nice country but we found that the weather can be unbearable most of the time. Therefore, we have to scrap the idea altogether as adjusting to the all year cold weather might be a little difficult to do.
3. UK
In term of education, UK is an ideal place but everything is expensive and job opportunities is by far... scarce... so not a good place to go at the moment.
4. Australia
I used to stay in Perth during my university day and I fell in love with the place... generally the entire Australia as they are so well planned. They have good education systems and welfare for their people... at least the tax paid will be 'returned' to us in form of subsidies in health care and etc... Also, it is the nearest to Malaysia so it is more convenient for us to travel between both places.

Toying with the idea
All of us are sick with the government and to see how they are battling out there just to get to be in power made us feel sick. Being a non majority, we are asking ourselves all the time that, if we are being treated fairly?
Since we are a second class citizen here or maybe 3rd or 4th class, we asked 'what's the difference being here or else where?'
And the idea of migrating to another country popped up.
