Canberra Travel Forum

Good day!!! I am planning to migrate to Canberra, do you know the locations of Filipino communities in Canberra? What about Communication Jobs, Is Canberra needs Telecommunication workers?

Hi, welcome to VT.
The first question has to be - do you have your visa? Emigrating to Australia isn't easy. If you haven't, check out www.immi.gov.au and if you have, just ignore me :-)

G'day Fernando

Canberra isn't particularly large (about 325,000 population) and the community is quite mixed - there are no particular areas where people from different countries tend to congregate. Sorry I can't help about the employment question - I'd suggest you google under "employment, telecommunications, canberra". And welcome to VT!

OK, Thank you very much for your response, I appreciate it alot...I only have some concern regarding the weather in Canberra, Philippines is a tropical country and we are not used to cold weather, please give me some idea about Canberra, and some feed back with regards to racial discrimination issue.

Kind regards

I'll answer your second question first, Fernando. I'd be very surprised if you had any problems with racial discrimination in Canberra - it averages the youngest and most highly educated population in Australia, as a result of universities, government employment, and embassies. Quite a cosmopolitan place.

A bit harder to answer on the climate, because you may feel cold more than me. As a generalisation, warm (sometimes hot) summer days with low humidity, pleasant evenings, Winter mornings are usually chilly with frosts and/or fogs, clearing to sunny days. Certainly cooler in winter than other mainland capitals, but warmer than European winters. You'll find the data at this link. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_070014.shtml

That would be all for now Sir, I'll post my queries some other time, again thank you for your time.

Best regards
