What are the differences Between Australian Permanent Residency and Australian Citizenship?

If you're considering moving to Australia as permanent residents but it doesn't mean it automatically makes you an Australian citizen. You will be able to have certain rights, however there will still be an era of distinction in Australian Permanent Residency and Citizenship.

One of my housemates is applying for citizenship and holy shit there is a lot of forms for him to fill out. He's also required to get some shit confirmed by an Australian citizen who has known him for over a year, but only a citizen with a specific job. Because I guess they only want "respectable" people filling this stuff out.

I am not one of these people, so instead I've had to help him go through all the jobs just to find someone he knows who can do this for him.

What happens if you haven't spent a year as an acquaintance of a dentist, or a soldier with 5+ years of service, or some shit? Denied citizenship because you didn't network in a way the government wants?

Like, I can sorta get where they're coming from, they want someone to verify the person's identity before they can grant them citizenship, but the list is so specific that I feel like a lot of potential citizens might not be able to complete this stuff

I watched a couple episodes of Ten Pound Poms yesterday and, well.  I’m not watching anymore.  My expectations weren’t high but I was imagining a feel good story about immigrants getting on and building a life in a new place.  I was hoping for good dresses and inoffensive stories.  Also, as a fan of Andor, I wanted to support Faye Marsay, but she’s on her own here.  She’s a good actor and does what she can with the material but you can’t make a silk purse from this sow’s ear.

All I could think while watching is that they should emigrated to Canada.  Here they wouldn’t have had to actually immigrate.  As British citizens, they could have just walked in and, if they felt like it, written to the Canadian gov’t to sort out their Canadian citizenship while they got down to the business of getting jobs, good houses, and secure futures. No sacrificing of passports or visas required; they’re British, for god’s sake.  They’re more Canadian than we are.

My uncle was a tradesman who immigrated to Canada from Italy in 1955 and he got a job in his trade immediately.  That’s WHY they let him immigrate. But, according to this TV series, a British skilled builder can’t get a job in Australia in his trade. Really?  The only job he can get is as a ditch digger on a crew that is, at least at the outset, all white and all Australian-born.  Really?  In the middle of a labour shortage none of these white, able-bodied, Australian-born men could get an easier job with better pay, even though most of them seem to be war veterans.  Really?  And in the post-War home-building boom, a skilled builder couldn’t get any other job than digging ditches. REALLY? 

It’s going to take some willing suspension of disbelief to watch this show.

And I haven’t even gotten to the part where the British immigrants are shocked - shocked, I tell you -  by the racism they witness in Australia.  They’ve never heard tell of such things in Manchester.  Prospective Asian immigrants are roughed up in full view of the immigration queue because, as the immigrant official makes clear, Australia is for “white’s only.”  Nobody thought to tell the Asian immigrants that they wouldn’t be allowed to enter the country before they got on the fucking boat for a 6 week journey?  Because, I imagine that would be something that would have come up.

And don’t even get me started on the British disapproval of the racism white Australians have for aboriginal Australians.  Where did these white Australians even come from with those sorts of attitudes?

Apparently they didn’t have sexism in Southport either because that comes as a huge, distasteful shock as well. 

I guess the plucky Brits are just going to have to band together and lead their Italian and German fellow immigrants through this racist, sexist hellhole to a bright, sunshiny future.  I guess. I won’t be watching to find out.

My challenge over the next month

Hey everyone. I'm going to be honest that this is largely going to be a vent post about what's been going on in my personal life recently. I want to get it out there though. Maybe someone will have an idea of how to accomplish what I need to that I hadn't thought of.

For a little background, I've been actively trying to get Australian citizenship. I was born in the US, but Australia is my home. For a vast majority of my adult life, I've been nomadic, traveling all over the US in hope of finding a place I felt comfortable. I've never lived anywhere for longer than a year and a half since I was 18. I was afraid that home just wasn't a feeling I could have. Going to Australia changed that. I feel at peace there, and I feel comfortable in a way that just never really happened in the US anywhere.

A very important deadline in that effort is coming up though. One of the most efficient paths to Australian citizenship is the Working Holiday Visa. It is one of the few temporary visas that allow a person to work while they are in Australia which is crucial to receiving sponsorship for a more permanent visa.

However, come November of this year, I will no longer be eligible to apply for this visa. Even more urgent, the best possible opening for me to have a place to live in Australia is from April through June of this year. This all largely means I need to get approved for this visa as soon as possible if I don't want my naturalization efforts to become a decade long struggle of seeking sponsorship from outside the country.

There are a number of requirements for the visa, but I'm really not worried about most of them. I achieve them fine or with minimal effort on my part. The one that concerns me is that they require you to be in possession of 5000$ AUD. (Aprx. 3500$ USD) It doesn't need to be spent, just in your bank account. It's an assurance you won't become homeless while you're on the visa. While a reasonable concern in most of cases, it really doesn't apply to me as someone with a support network and resources in the country already.

Putting away that kind of money just isn't possible for me. I'm an openly trans person in an environment that is growing increasingly hostile towards my existence. Even going 'boy mode', I still get called ma'am frequently. Normally the dream for a transgirl, but in this case it means I can't just hide my transness in order to get work. I also have incredibly bad social anxiety to boot. Even with a bachelor's degree in a burgeoning field (Computer Science) I struggle to find work here.

My illustration commissions and streaming are my only sources of money. It gets me by with the generous help of my roommate, but saving up money just simply isn't possible with such little income, and even then, without the help of one of my clients tossing me extra funds recently, I would've fallen behind on even just the essentials.

I'm trapped in the position of doing everything I can, and being afraid to ask for help given the very personal and privileged nature of what I'm trying to accomplish. I.E. I don't *need* to immigrate to survive. Being able to move countries isn't exactly something people just get to do. It's not like I'm trying to get money for a life-saving surgery.

I've considered doing discounts for my illustrations to push sales, but my backlog is already quite large as it is. People who commission me now might be stuck waiting until Autumn for their purchases at my current rate. I've considered donathons with streaming, but as I said, it feels wrong to just ask for donations over something that isn't necessary for me to survive and even if I didn't, 3500$ is a massive amount of money to raise.

On the optimistic side, I have around 600$ now already, and my girlfriend is working really hard, taking extra shifts to try and get money together herself to help. I know it's possible with the effort of many, but I just don't know how to ask for that help in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'm just sapping away the kindness of my friends, and that one day they'll just get tired of helping me.

So that's the situation. I do my best to put on a strong face a lot of the time. I'm good at being happy even when I'm filled with anxiety. I know a lot of people look to me as a source of optimism and hope in my circles, but I've got my struggles too. This isn't really supposed to be a call to do anything at all, but if you have any good ideas for resolution, I'm happy to hear them.

Thanks loves~ Gwen

Passport rules are weird man

so I was born in Bahrain but your not entitled to citizenship just because your born there which is different to the USA. technically I wasn’t a citizen of anywhere but because both my parents had Australian citizenship it meant, while they still had to apply it was just slightly easier for me to get it. ok context over

🌐 Week 10: Digital Citizenship and Conflict – Social Media Governance 🔍

This week’s theme dives into the power plays and complexities of social media governance - where freedom of expression, user safety, and community values collide. Social media isn’t just a digital playground; it’s a space where the rules we follow (or break) shape our experience, and sometimes, our real-world identities. Let’s explore why it’s so crucial for us to navigate these waters carefully and demand better governance from the platforms we use daily.

💥 Online Harassment: An Unseen Threat to Digital Citizenship

Ever felt the urge to delete a post or stay silent on an issue because you feared backlash? You’re not alone. Research shows that online harassment disproportionately targets women and marginalized groups, often silencing voices that challenge the status quo (Haslop et al. 2021). For many, logging in means risking exposure to abuse, trolls, and coordinated attacks that are more than just “words on a screen.” They are reminders of the deep-rooted biases that our digital spaces reflect - and amplify.

Watching comedians like Hannah Gadsby and Amy Schumer tackle online harassment through humor has been inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder that even in conflict, there are ways to reclaim the narrative and demand change. Their standup routines highlight an essential truth: social media governance shouldn’t be left to algorithms and vague community guidelines alone. It’s personal, it’s political, and it’s urgent.

🛡️ Social Media Governance: Who’s Responsible for Our Safety?

Platforms like Twitter and Instagram often claim to have our safety in mind, but are their efforts enough? Recent laws, such as Australia’s Online Safety Act, attempt to enforce accountability by mandating the removal of harmful content within 24 hours. However, enforcement is tricky - how do we ensure these measures protect us without infringing on freedom of expression? And how do platforms address the sheer volume of content they moderate daily?

This week, I found myself reflecting on the role of brands in supporting online safety. Tamara Littleton, CEO of The Social Element, advocates for brands to actively protect and support creators against harassment. When brands take a stand and back up creators, it sends a powerful message that online abuse is unacceptable, reinforcing that social responsibility is a shared duty across users, creators, and corporations.

https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/online-safety-act-2021-review-issues-paper-26-april-2024.pdf

🌐 Digital Citizenship: Our Role in Shaping the Internet We Want

As digital citizens, we have a role beyond just being consumers - we’re the ones who shape the culture and tone of these platforms. That means calling out harmful behavior, supporting each other, and pushing back against a culture that normalizes harassment. If we want social media to be a safe space, it requires active participation and responsibility from all of us.

IRCC Issues 648 ITAs in Latest PNP-Only Express Entry Draw

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has once again issued Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residency in its latest Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)-only Express Entry draw. In this round, 648 candidates were invited to apply, each requiring a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 791. This follows a previous PNP-only draw on October 7, which invited 1,613 candidates with a CRS score of at least 743.

IRCC has recently established a pattern of holding multiple Express Entry draws every second week, typically featuring at least one PNP-specific draw. Since May 30, a total of 12,815 ITAs have been issued through PNP draws, underscoring IRCC’s commitment to helping temporary residents in Canada transition to permanent residency. The agency aims to reduce the number of temporary residents while meeting the targets set in the Immigration Levels Plan, which outlines Canada's immigration goals through 2027. The new plan is expected to be announced by November 1, 2024, with targets for welcoming permanent residents from countries like India, Australia, and Germany.

In addition to Canada, countries like Australia and Germany offer permanent residency pathways. Australia’s PR process through its Global Talent Stream and Germany’s immigration programs are increasingly popular among skilled workers and international students. For individuals seeking assistance with navigating the PR process, immigration consultants in India offer services for Canada, Australia, and Germany.

The permanent residency process in Canada, as outlined by IRCC, requires applicants to meet several key criteria, including factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Similarly, both Australia and Germany have their own PR requirements, with programs like Australia’s Global Talent Stream and Germany's skilled migration channels.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is Canada’s application management system for three of its major economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). This system uses the CRS to rank candidates based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language ability, which are essential for filling critical gaps in Canada's labor force.

Other countries, such as Australia and Germany, also have point-based systems to attract skilled workers, and consultants in India offer specialized guidance for those looking to apply for PR in these countries. For instance, Canada immigration consultants help individuals navigate the Express Entry process, including provincial nominee programs like British Columbia PNP (BCPNP), Manitoba PNP (MPNP), and New Brunswick PNP (NBPNP).

PNP candidates in Canada receive an additional 600 points toward their CRS score, increasing their chances of receiving an ITA. Similarly, individuals seeking permanent residency in Australia and Germany may benefit from targeted immigration pathways, including work and study programs that allow for eventual permanent residency. Immigration consultants in India, particularly those specializing in Canada PR, Australia PR, and Germany PR, can provide valuable guidance on navigating these systems.

Work and Study Opportunities in Canada, Australia, and Germany

Many immigrants aim to study and work in countries like Canada, Australia, and Germany, as these nations offer high-quality education and work opportunities. Programs such as the Global Talent Stream in Canada, Australia, and Germany make it easier for skilled professionals to move abroad and eventually secure permanent residency. There are also options for obtaining a spouse visa and study visa, with expert consultants in India providing assistance for Canadian, Australian, and German visa applications.

Immigration Advice and PR Consultants

For individuals interested in permanent residency in Canada, Australia, or Germany, consulting a PR expert can be invaluable. Canada PR consultants, for instance, assist with everything from filing visa applications to navigating provincial nomination programs. Similarly, Australia and Germany PR consultants can guide applicants through the process of securing permanent residency in these countries, ensuring they meet all necessary requirements. Additionally, many consultants offer immigration advice and visa services tailored to specific needs, such as study visas and tourist visas for countries like Canada.

    Australian Education Loan Guide

Studying in Australia is a dream for many international students, particularly those from India. With its renowned universities, vibrant culture, and high quality of life, Australia offers an exceptional educational experience. However, financing your studies can be a significant hurdle. This Australian Education Loan Guide is designed to help you navigate the various options available for funding your education in Australia.

Why Study in Australia?

Australia is home to some of the world’s top universities, including the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University, and the University of Sydney. These institutions are celebrated for their academic excellence, cutting-edge research, and diverse range of courses. Additionally, Australia’s multicultural environment and opportunities for part-time work make it an attractive destination for students from around the globe.

Understanding Education Loan Options

When considering your study abroad plans, exploring education loan options is essential. These loans can cover tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs, making your educational journey more manageable. Here’s a breakdown of the primary sources for education loans:

1. Indian Nationalised Banks

Nationalised banks in India are often the first choice for students seeking education loans. They typically offer competitive interest rates and flexible repayment options. Major banks such as the State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, and Punjab National Bank have dedicated schemes for students who wish to study abroad, ensuring a reliable source of funding.

2. Private Banks

Private banks also provide attractive education loan products tailored for international studies. Institutions like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank offer customized loan options, often featuring quicker processing times and benefits such as lower interest rates for women. These banks can be a great alternative if you’re looking for more personalized loan terms.

3. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs)

NBFCs have gained popularity in the education loan sector due to their lenient eligibility criteria and fast disbursement processes. Companies like Credila and Avanse Financial Services focus specifically on funding overseas education, offering tailored solutions that cater to individual student needs. This can be particularly beneficial for those who may not meet traditional banking criteria.

Eligibility Criteria for Education Loans

Eligibility criteria for education loans can vary widely among lenders. However, common requirements include:

Indian Citizenship: Most lenders require applicants to be Indian citizens.

Admission Confirmation: You must provide proof of admission to an Australian university.

Co-applicant: A co-applicant, usually a parent or guardian, may be necessary to secure the loan.

Credit Score: A good credit history can improve your chances of loan approval.

Income Proof: Lenders may ask for income documentation from the co-applicant.

Essential Documentation

To apply for an education loan, you will typically need to submit several documents:

Loan Application Form: A completed form from your chosen lender.

Proof of Admission: An offer letter from an Australian institution.

Identity Proof: Such as your Aadhar card, passport, or voter ID.

Income Proof: Salary slips, income tax returns, or bank statements of your co-applicant.

Academic Records: Transcripts and certificates from your previous educational institutions.

Exploring Scholarship Opportunities

In addition to loans, don’t overlook the potential for scholarships. Many Australian universities offer scholarships specifically for international students, and government scholarships like the Australia Awards can cover tuition and living expenses. Researching these options early can significantly enhance your funding strategy and reduce your financial burden.

Special Education Loans for Non-Australian Citizens

Understanding Australia’s Partner Visas: Subclass 100 and Subclass 309

Australia offers several pathways for partners of Australian citizens and permanent residents to live together in Australia. Two popular options are the Subclass 100 and Subclass 309 visas, both part of the Partner Visa Program. In this article, we’ll break down what each visa entails, their eligibility criteria, and how the transition process works so you can find the best path for you and your loved one.

What Are the Subclass 100 and Subclass 309 Visas?

Subclass 309 is a temporary partner visa that allows the foreign partner of an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen to enter and live in Australia while the permanent visa is processed. This visa is granted first and is a stepping stone towards obtaining the Subclass 100 visa, which provides permanent residency in Australia.

Subclass 100, on the other hand, is the permanent partner visa granted after the Subclass 309. It allows the holder to stay in Australia indefinitely, with the same rights as other Australian permanent residents.

Key Differences Between Subclass 100 and Subclass 309

Duration and Validity:

Subclass 309: Temporary visa, allowing the holder to live in Australia while awaiting the decision on the permanent visa.

Subclass 100: Permanent visa, allowing indefinite stay in Australia with benefits such as work and study rights, access to healthcare, and eligibility for citizenship down the line.

Application Process:

Both visas are applied for together in one application process. You apply for the Subclass 309, and if approved, the application for Subclass 100 follows automatically after a period of two years, provided the relationship is still ongoing and meets requirements.

Eligibility Requirements:

Both visas require proof of a genuine, committed relationship. You must show evidence of shared life experiences, finances, and social acknowledgment of your partnership.

Other requirements include meeting health and character standards.

Transitioning from Temporary to Permanent:

After holding the Subclass 309 visa for about two years, applicants may be eligible to transition to the Subclass 100 permanent visa, assuming they continue to meet relationship criteria.

Benefits of the Subclass 100 Visa

Once the Subclass 100 visa is granted, the holder has access to most of the rights of an Australian permanent resident. This includes freedom to work and study in Australia, access to Medicare, and eligibility to apply for Australian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.

Tips for a Successful Application

Gather Strong Evidence: Relationship evidence is crucial. Include photos, shared financial documents, and statements from friends and family affirming your relationship.

Meet Health and Character Requirements: Both visas require a medical exam and police clearances, so ensure these documents are ready.

Stay Informed on Processing Times: Visa processing times can vary, so be prepared for potentially extended wait periods, especially for the permanent Subclass 100 approval.

Final Thoughts

Navigating the Subclass 100 and Subclass 309 visas can feel complex, but with careful preparation and an understanding of each visa’s requirements, you can successfully bring your partner to Australia. Start with the Subclass 309 and follow through with the requirements for the Subclass 100, ensuring a seamless transition for your partner to enjoy life in Australia.
