33 years ago I left Australia at 18 & moved to the United States / and I regret none of it / growing up in Australia in the 80s as a teenager was incredible / all these new immigrants that are Australian Citizens have absolutely no idea how awesome Australia was in the 1970s & 1980s / Australia today is nothing more than a dystopian socialistic nightmare - I was once an Aussie but now proud to call myself American

In Australia everything is electronic, no visa stamps at all. The first Australian document you get is an Australian passport after becoming a citizen. There are no permanent resident cards etc. Every entry/exit is automatically logged on the government system, and you can even download an app which tells you your visa status, conditions and whether you're onshore or offshore (so no need for passport stamps).

Why Canada ???\nNo 1 - Canada is the Easiest PR for students in the western world. Australian PR requires IELTS individual 7.\nNo 2- Canadian tuitions are cheaper compared to Australia.\n\nAnd sadly,\nThese international students are taking worthless courses or courses just made up for them.

Australian universities are much worse. I have first hand experience!????

If you have zilch wherever you are, move to Canada. Else don’t. Simple. Everything in this video applies to refugees who land up with little or no documentation of past experience and qualifications. The long re-skilling process doesn’t apply to skilled expatriates who have fully documented skills that are in demand. Skilled expatriates leave Canada _more_ than other migrants because the USA is right next door, or because the UAE offers a better lifestyle than overpriced Canada or Australia. This is one of the reasons the Canadian Government, the Australian Government or the Netherlands Government inflates the housing bubbles in Canada, Australia or the Netherlands — skilled expatriates have families, and families need houses — getting expatriates into million dollar mortgages is a good way to force them to stay ?

Australian standard is terrible also, why on Earth didn't Canada want to meet such a low standard?

same in canada as well. canada has larger forest than australia as canada is the second largest country in the world basically. most parts of the country is as empty as australia \nin australia, most people live near australian coast and in canada, most people live near us border

Australia is probably friendlier than Canada. Don't expect to connect with white Canadians just any better than you did with white Australians. What Canada may be able to provide you with apart from easier immigration is a larger immigrant community. Lots of Africans and Caribbean people to connect with.

PERTH IS CLOSE FROM MANY COUNTRIES OVERSEAS THAN WHOLE CANADA , BRO I THINK YOU ARE TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT CANADA BETTER OPETION THAN AUSTRALIA BECUASE YOU ARE LEAVING FOR NOT ABEL TO GET THE AUSTRALIAN PR .

Your video just popped up and I was drawn to watch it. I have been in Sydney for 7 years. Same pathway in - a student visa, but I got PR through my studies soon after my graduation and now a citizen. Yes, I agree that Australian permanent residency is tough, but I also realise that not equipping yourself with the right information creates a hurdle for many people. If PR is the goal, the SOL and every other related information leading from that list should be your manual. Let that information guide your decisions. However, I concur that Australia's stance on immigration is confusing - harping on about skilled shortages and wanting to attract the right people, but also keeping them in limbo for ages. It makes for an unsustainable system. Good luck to you in Canada. May your wishes match your expectations.

Very good video. I am an Australian citizen, and I share your views. Also I want to add another reason why I prefer Canada than Australia. Being originally from Peru, I currently live in Peru, my wife is also Peruvian and a baby with 5 month at the time of writing, however there is no family reunion visa to take my whole family (only my baby who will hold Australian citizenship but not my wife) so I cannot take them both, because migrations force my wife to apply to the Partner Visa, that cost AU$7850 (US$5,600) plus agent fees, documents, ticket price, and other cost. Also the waiting period is about 24 to 28 months. So if I return to Australia, I first need to find a job, then save the $5,600, send and amount of money to Peru during my absence, then wait about 2 years and spend about $10,000 to $15,000 extra to bring my family to Australia. The cost of waiting carries a lot of anxiety, health issued due to the uncertainty and may damage my marriage, And if I get to my wife a Visitor visa, she is not allowed to work and study, and I must pay private insurance, and for experience, private insurance policies and gap costs are very high. Of course visiting my family every 6 months is costly and timely prohibited, an economic flight from Australia to Peru costs about US$2,500 and takes about 1 day or 38 hours, add also the jet lag and day difference.\nIn contrast, Canada allows me to take my whole family in just 3 months, my wife can get a working visa, and if we decided to reunite in 6 o 9 month, I can go to Peru every long weekend to visit my family, a flight from Toronto to Lima is about $500 return and only 8 hours so I can go to Peru and come back to Canada in a long weeked, a luxury imposible to do if I lived in Australia. \nWhen my father passed away here in Lima, I was in Australia at university, and due to cost and time, I couldn't go to give him a farewell and to his funeral, a issue that regretted; for that reason, my mother-in-law, who needs care and being my wife, her only child, after facing my own experience, we decided that Canada and not Australia, is a better choice, if something happens with my in-law, from Canada my wife can see her quickly.\nThank you for sharing in this video

Truth truth and more truth!!!! I'm from the pacific islands but now 'Australian' . LITERALLY All the reasons you gave is why I am leaving. So on point!!!

Hello sir! \nMy Australian student visa got rejected does it effects me while applying Canada? What percentage of chance is there for my visa acceptance in Canada ? Please replyy

How about online jobs? I’m working a fulltime job for an Australian Company virtually. Would it be considere as self employed or a freelancer? Or would it be considered as a working experience

Ah complaining about taxes, is there anything more universal? According to EY (one of the world's leading global accounting firms), combined federal and provincial income tax on $100,000 in BC is 21.98%, the second lowest in Canada, and comparable to US, Australian, and most European taxes on the same amount.

I am an American ?? and I need to tell all you Canadians ??, Australians ?? , New Zealanders ?? , that your nations are the beta-tests for the New World Order.\n\nThey are literally seeing how fast and how compliant you will go under Faucism aka medical martial law.\n\nAll your leaders are Globalist puppets.\n\nResistance is victory ✌️ !!!!!!!!!

I'm from Kolkata, hubby is Australian, living in Perth since 16 years, we have two kids It took me few years to adjust to the culture.

This is also the reason why i dont want to move to Australia however; my Australian fiance doesnt want to live here in Philippines its just that lifestyle here in Philippines is not what he wants so I will be moving to Australia and get married there..I have visited Australia many times already and I have seen the very same lifestyle of Australians and i dont want it..but im having a hard time makinh decision.many Filipinos want to go to live to another country but not me..

Hi, great videos! Can you do few videos of Australian PR process as well. Tnx, keep up the great work!

Hey I'm an Australian citizen trying to get a job in boilermaking, specialising in mining would you know of any companies that could help. Thank you!

Bro I would love if you ranked all the Australian states ??

As an Australian, this video was interesting and informative in showing what a beautiful country Canada is, and the built environment is also so impressive. Also, I am naturally unbiased by any rivalry between provinces, particularly concerning Quebec. Oh, and I can usually discern a Canadian accent, which to my ear sounds more refined than many accents from the United States.

All the feels ? Welsh / Scottish / Irish / Australian / New Zealanders hate being mistaken for the English

Canadians must hate me because I can't tell the difference between their accent and the US ones ? but then again, I also occasionally mix up British and Australian accent as well so maybe it's just my destiny to make all English speakers uncomfortable.

Australian here: BC is number 1! I am qualified so make that assessment. :-)

I visited Montreal once and that was enough the rudest people I have ever encountered. There is a vast difference between Toronto one of the friendliest cities to Montreal.makes Perth Australia yes I'm Australian seem friendly no I don't live in Perth.

Winnipeg rates as one of the two best places I have lived in. I have lived in 4 provinces, and 4 Australian states. Calgary rates my least liked city.

You should rank the Australian states or something like that, I think it would be interesting.

Please do a top 10 best canadian cities. Also, I would love to see best australian territories/cities too! Excellent video nevertheless.

Heyyy can u make a vid like this on the 6 Australian states .... thenks ?✌️

Canadians are as racist as Australian's, which is a lot!

I'm half Japanese and Australian.\nSpeak, read and write English and Japanese.\nOne night I was out with a few Japanese cousin's and mates, out of the blue two white guys started having a go at us for speaking Japanese and that we're in a country where English is spoken so we should be speaking English only.\nMy cousin's and mates ignored them, so did I til they said I'm a traitor to my skin colour.\nI had it, we got into a fist fight, two against one\nFast forward, both got sent to the ER.\nLater on found out one of them is living Ina wheelchair with a tube hooked up to his throat, the other was in the looney hut\nFast forward to now, both committed suicide

The world is watching \n21st Century \nG'day from Australia\n\nSpeak Up\nSpeak Out \nSay no to Racism \n\nAsian (Filo) Australian\n\nGod Bless.

Correction: Canada uses European floor scheme more than us. Cricket and Rugby are more popular in Canada than USA though rugby is more popular than cricket in Canada. Also their accent is a mix of American and British like Australian English but the rhoticity is one of the similarities to US English. Also Aluminium and ise spelling is acceptable in Canada

I find myself into a controversy right now, I was moving to Sydney before the pandemic but with quarantine and everything my visa got stuck for several months, so I decided I wanted to move to Vancouver, and I got into a college(UCW) but now I just got my visa approved for Australia just when I was going to apply to Canadá for a visa, so I will have to decided if cancel my Australian visa and lose the money or wait for them to open borders which not seems very likely rn. Haha

I wish we had this show in Australia, I'm disabled and have Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage, I must admit I never realised Canadian 1st nations people were referred to as Aboriginal as well, but I found the subtle racism issues are same here with Australian Aboriginals. I did one meet some 1st nation Canadians at an indigenous conference but got so caught up with learning throat singing never really got into the serious issues

This fraud reminds me of how some rich chinese arrange fake marriage here in Australia or some chinese girls want to find Australian guys to get married to or defacto the moment they get off the airplanes. All of these behaviours are not legit at all. It took me 6 years to successfully migrate to Australia, whereas these people are just trying to play with the legal system.

Some of the Australian aboriginal hate white Australians l know for a fact.

Why dont you try the other way around.... most rasism comes from arabs them self they dont like people that is not muslim why dont you show What they say about Australian people couse thats Worse

I think one of the big differences between USA & Canada is mentality. I find that Canadian’s & Australians to share more similarities in terms of mindset then Canadians & Americans.

Sorry but Canadians are pretty full of themselves... but not as much as Australians. Aussies are full on arrogant. Beautiful land though. Stellar both.

L♡VE for Sikh?‍♂️ \nFrom Pakistani born Australian

love and respect from an Australian Muslim that looks like a Sikh... to a Sikh that looks like an Australian Muslim ?✌?\n\nyour parents did a remarkable job with their sons, there is a place in heaven for them

Bro I am also Gujarati from surat.make some video for Australian life style.

This stuff is pretty desturbing. I'm an indigenous Australian and where I live in the northern part of Australia which is Cape York, racism doesn't exist in my hometown. We respect and care for each other very much it doesn't matter what race you are, we respect everyone.?

They came like sheep, they lived like foxes and they conquered like lions, and you wonder what went wrong. Stupidly, thy name is Canadian, American, Australian, European and Indian.

We WILL DESTROY the Globalists Evil Plan for One World Government and mass migration. America stands united with our Canadian. European snd Australian Nationalist sisters and brothers.

That asian guy living in Canada with an Australian accent ?

This is out of control.Im Australian and China has done this in every State.Weve become so buisy the world has dropped the ball.(There won’t be a war because there here in abundance)
