Australia, with its breathtaking landscapes, diverse culture, and strong economy, has long been a favored destination for immigrants worldwide. However, like any major life decision, moving to Australia comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. This comprehensive guide will delve into the pros and cons of immigrating to the Land Down Under, helping you make an informed decision about your future.

Best Visa Types for Australia:

I. Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): Ideal for skilled workers who wish to live and work anywhere in Australia independently. A visa consultant can help you navigate the complex application process and meet eligibility criteria.

II. Partner Visa (subclass 820/801): Designed for spouses or de facto partners of Australian citizens or permanent residents.

III. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482): Offers opportunities for skilled workers to work in Australia temporarily.

IV. Resident Return Visa (RRV): For former Australian permanent residents or citizens who wish to return.

The Pros of Immigrating to Australia

1. High Quality of Life: One of the foremost advantages of moving to Australia is the exceptional quality of life it offers. With its clean air, low crime rates, and robust healthcare system, Australia consistently ranks high on global quality of life indices. The country is renowned for its excellent public services, and residents enjoy a high standard of living.

2. Diverse Career Opportunities: Australia’s booming economy provides a plethora of career opportunities across various sectors. From IT and healthcare to engineering and finance, there is a demand for skilled professionals. The country’s low unemployment rate is another compelling reason why immigrants flock to its shores in search of a better future.

3. World-Class Education: Australia boasts some of the world’s top universities and educational institutions. The education system is highly regarded globally, and international students are welcomed with open arms. The availability of scholarships and the opportunity to gain international exposure make it an ideal destination for students and their families.

4. Multicultural Society: Australia prides itself on its multiculturalism. The nation is a melting pot of cultures, and this diversity is celebrated. You’ll have the chance to experience a wide range of cuisines, festivals, and traditions from all over the world, making it an enriching cultural experience.

5. Healthcare System: Australia’s healthcare system is the envy of many other countries. Medicare, the universal healthcare system, ensures that residents receive quality medical care at little to no cost. The healthcare infrastructure is well-developed, with world-class hospitals and medical facilities.

The Cons of Immigrating to Australia:

1. High Cost of Living: While Australia offers a high quality of life, it comes at a price. Major cities like Sydney and Melbourne have a relatively high cost of living. Housing, in particular, can be expensive, and you may find yourself paying a premium for accommodation in these cities.

2. Strict Immigration Policies: Australia has stringent immigration rules and visa requirements. The visa application process can be complex, and meeting the criteria can be challenging, especially for certain professions. It’s essential to thoroughly research and prepare for the immigration process.

3. Geographic Isolation: Australia’s geographical isolation means that it’s far from many other countries. This can result in long flight times if you need to travel internationally. The isolation can also impact the availability of certain goods and services.

4. Climate Extremes: Australia is known for its diverse climate, which can include extremes. While many parts of the country enjoy a temperate climate, others experience harsh weather conditions. Bushfires, droughts, and floods are not uncommon, and they can have a significant impact on daily life.

5. Unique Wildlife and Natural Hazards: Australia is home to unique and sometimes dangerous wildlife, including spiders, snakes, and marine creatures. While encounters with these animals are relatively rare, they do exist. Additionally, the country faces natural hazards such as bushfires, cyclones, and occasional earthquakes.

Conclusion:

Immigrating to Australia can be a life-changing decision filled with opportunities and challenges. It’s essential to weigh the pros and cons carefully and consider your individual circumstances and goals. While Australia offers a high quality of life, a diverse culture, and numerous job opportunities, it’s important to be aware of the potential challenges such as the high cost of living and strict immigration policies. Ultimately, with proper research and preparation, many find Australia a welcoming and rewarding place to call home.

A Resident Return Visa (RRV) is a type of visa issued by the Australian government to current or former Australian permanent residents. It allows them to re-enter Australia after an extended period of time outside the country, and maintain their permanent resident status. The RRV is typically valid for five years.

not sure you can self ID as someone who left america if you went for three months on a work holiday visa and then returned back to america. valid to hate america but "almost permanently moved away" is a bit much. that's like a semester abroad

babe I was literally there for almost a year, and the only reason I came back AT ALL was because my boyfriend didn't want to live there. I did almost permanently move away - And I actually even almost broke up with my boyfriend when he said "choose between Australia and me", and chose Australia. I still pay for my Australian phone number, I still pay to upkeep my bank account, I'm still paying into my retirement fund there, I even filed taxes as "WHV with intent for permanent residency" which cost me 10x as much money SOLELY to make it so that I can immigrate easier.

And I'm going back and STILL intend for that to be my permanent home. Next!

Canada has long been a draw for people from India's Punjab province seeking new opportunities elsewhere. But has the Canadian dream soured?

It's hard to miss the ardour of Punjab's migrant ambitions when driving through its fertile rural plains.

Billboards promising easy immigration to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK jut out through ample mustard fields.

Off the highways, consultancies offer English language coaching to eager youth.

Single-storey brick homes double up as canvasses for hand-painted mural advertisements promising quick visas. And in the town of Bathinda, hundreds of agents jostle for space on a single narrow street, pledging to speed up the youth's runaway dreams.

For over a century, this province in India's northwest has seen waves of overseas migration; from the Sikh soldiers inducted into the British Indian Army travelling to Canada, through to rural Punjabis settling in England post-independence.

But some, especially from Canada, are now choosing to come back home.

One of those is 28-year-old Balkar, who returned in early 2023 after just one year in Toronto. Citizenship was his ultimate goal when he left his little hamlet of Pitho in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. His family mortgaged their land to fund his education.

But his Canadian dream quickly lost its allure a few months into his life there.

"Everything was so expensive. I had to work 50 hours every week after college, just to survive," he told the BBC. "High inflation is making many students leave their studies."

Balkar now runs an embroidery business from a small room on one side of the expansive central courtyard in his typical Punjabi home. He also helps on his family's farm to supplement his income.

Opportunities for employment are few and far between in these rural areas, but technology has allowed entrepreneurs like him to conquer the tyranny of distance. Balkar gets the bulk of his business through Instagram.

"I have a good life here. Why should I face hardships there when I can live at home and make good money?" he asks.

The BBC spoke to at least half a dozen reverse migrants in Punjab who shared similar sentiments.

It was also a common refrain in the scores of videos on YouTube shared by Indians who had chosen to abandon their life in Canada and return home. There was a stark difference one young returnee told the BBC between the "rosy picture" immigration agents painted and the rough reality of immigrant life in Toronto and Vancouver.

The "Canada craze" has let up a bit - and especially so among well-off migrants who have a fallback option at home, says Raj Karan Brar, an immigration agent in Bathinda who helps hundreds of Punjabis get permanent residencies and student visas every year.

The desire for a Canadian citizenship remains as strong as ever though among middle- and lower middle-class clients in rural communities.

But viral YouTube videos of students talking about the difficulty in finding jobs and protests over a lack of housing and work opportunities has created an air of nervousness among these students, say immigration agents.

There was a 40% decline in applications from India for Canadian study permits in the second half of 2023, according to one estimate. This was, in part, also due to the ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada over allegations Indian agents were involved in the murder of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

There are also hints of deeper cultural factors at play, for a waning Canadian dream among an older generation of Indian migrants.

Karan Aulakh, who spent nearly 15 years in Edmonton and achieved career and financial success, left his managerial job for a comfortable rural life in Khane ki Daab, the village where he was born in 1985. He told the BBC he was upset by LGBT-inclusive education policies in Canada and its 2018 decision to legalise recreational cannabis. Incompatibility with the Western way of life, a struggling healthcare system, and better economic prospects in India were, he said, key reasons why many older Canadian Indians are preparing to leave the country.

"I started an online consultancy - Back to the Motherland - a month and a half ago, to help those who want to reverse migrate. I get at least two to three calls every day, mostly from people in Canada who want to know what job opportunities there are in Punjab and how they can come back," said Mr Aulakh.

For a country that places such a high value on immigration, these trends are "concerning" and are "being received with a bit of a sting politically", says Daniel Bernhard of the Institute of Canadian Citizenship, an immigration advocacy group.

A liberalised immigration regime has been Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's signature policy to counter slowing economic growth and a rapidly aging population.

According to Canada's statistics agency, immigration accounted for 90% of Canada's labour force growth and 75% of population growth in 2021.

International students contribute to over C$20bn ($14.7bn; £11.7bn) to Canada's economy each year, a bulk of them Indians who now make up one in five recent immigrants to the country.

India was also Canada's leading source for immigration in 2022.

The numbers of those leaving are still small in absolute terms with immigration levels at all-time highs in Canada - the country welcomed nearly half a million new migrants each year over the past few years.

But the rate of reverse migration hit a two decade high in 2019, signalling that migrants were "losing confidence" in the country said Mr Bernhard.

Country specific statistics for such emigrants, or reverse migrants, are not available.

But official data obtained by Reuters shows between 80,000 and 90,000 immigrants left Canada in 2021 and 2022 and either went back to their countries, or onward elsewhere.

Some 42,000 people departed in the first half of 2023.

Fewer permanent residents are also going on to become Canadian citizens, according to census data cited by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship. In 2001, 75% of those eligible became citizens. Two decades later, it was 45%.

Canada needs to "restore the value of its citizenship," said Mr Bernhard.

It comes as Canada debates its aggressive immigration targets given country's struggle to absorb more people.

A recent report from National Bank of Canada economists cautioned that the population growth was putting pressure on its already tight housing supply and strained healthcare system.

Canada has seen a population surge - an increase of 1.2 million people in 2023 - driven mostly by newcomers.

The report argued that growth needed to be slowed to an annual increase of up to 500,000 people in order to preserve or increase the standard of living.

There appears to have been a tacit acceptance of this evaluation by policymakers.

Mr Trudeau's Liberal government recently introduced a cap on international student permits that would result in a temporary decrease of 35% in approved study visas.

It's a significant policy shift that some believe may end up further reducing Canada's appeal amid a wave of reverse migrations.

Australia Wants To Attract the World’s Best? Make It Easier to Migrate

A few years ago, an Indian photographer friend living in Malaysia was flying to Fiji on assignment. He opted to fly through Sydney with a five-hour stopover, enough time, he reckoned, to get the train in to Circular Quay and drink a cold beer at the Opera Bar while marvelling at the Harbour Bridge.

But he never even got close, as he was prevented from even boarding his flight. He found out, at the airport desk in Kuala Lumpur, that his Indian passport meant he needed a visa simply to transit through Sydney. Forget the Quay, he needed the visa just to disembark the plane at the airport.

The experience didn’t just set his project back a few days and disadvantage the rest of the crew on the assignment, it left a seriously sour taste in the mouth of exactly the kind of globally well-connected professional that Australia should be trying to woo. When I asked other friends, I found it a common experience. Another Indian friend had been barred from boarding the flight to go to her own wedding in Auckland.

As far as case studies go, I admit that these ones aren’t particularly egregious, not when compared to some of the more difficult issues faced by those trying to enter Australia to work and set up their lives anew. But it’s an experience that shines a blinding light on a couple of things.

Image Credits

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the strict border controls that came with it, Australia right now has more jobs than it has a ready pool of skilled and available people to fill them. The government has been working to clear the visa backlog – down to 775,000, down from a million, it says, and this, along with the expansion of the Pacific worker scheme, shows a commitment to resolving the issue.

So why is it still so hard to get permanency?

Visa seekers speak of waiting five or six years, sometimes longer, to gain permanent residency in Australia. This makes it hard to live a normal life. I have a permanent visa-seeking friend right now trying to get to the United States for a business trip: the US wants a commitment from Australia that she will return here, but Australia is yet to grant her the right to stay. It’s properly a scene from Utopia.

People also speak of extremely expensive, long-winded and fraught quests to gain parent visas. Home Affairs says the waiting time for the parent visa is currently at least 74 months; and a migration agency estimated the total cost at more than $43,000. I’ve heard anecdotally of some spending closer to $100,000.

Image Credits

Australia has, at least since the Tampa standoff in 2001, used its visa program to signal its values. Business visas take precedence, signalling Australia’s dominant value of economic growth. Family visas have always – at least since I started taking notice, when I started at my first reporting job at SBS – been a category that a sceptical public (and consequently, government) has considered to be an unnecessary burden, a fast-track to overstaying and Medicare fraud. Australia requires passport holders from undesirable countries to submit to expensive and sometimes fraught visitor visa processes, even simply for an airport stopover.

Demonstrable Close Ties with India: You can demonstrate the substantial employment, family and financial ties that spur you to relocate back to India. That is why you should have an intention to return.

File a Complete Application: An incomplete application or missing documents may lead to long delay in processing or refusal.

Navigating the Australian Investor Visa: How IR Legal Can Assist

Australia is a land of opportunities, known for its strong economy, high standard of living, and favourable business environment. For high-net-worth individuals looking to invest and reside in Australia, the Investor Visa program offers a promising pathway.

There will be some changes happening in this visa area. Australian government plans to close the Business Innovation and Investment subclass 188 visa (BIIP) and will eventually be replaced with a new National Innovation visa. Through the National Innovation visa, the Australian government intends to consolidate BIIP and Global Talent visa programs aiming for more targeted criteria that will produce stronger economic outcomes for Australia.

BIIP policy guidance will be tightened so that all business migrants coming to Australia have had a successful business career and bring an economic benefit to Australia. With the reduction of the allocations for Global Talent visas, applications will likely be more competitive.

Navigating the complexities of the Australian Investor Visa application process can be daunting. At IR Legal, we specialise in providing expert guidance and support to ensure your application is stress-free, ensuring a seamless and successful application experience.

Job Demand in Australia in 2024

Although options to study in Australia for free for international students are rare, that doesn’t mean an Australian degree isn’t a fantastic investment in your future. The most popular subjects in Australia also happen to be in the country’s biggest growth sectors. This is partly the case because Australia is very keen to integrate graduates with the skills they are looking for into high-demand sectors of relevant industries!

Let’s have a quick look at why the return on investment of studying in Australia – including your future career opportunities – makes the cost of studying abroad worth it.

Career Opportunities for International Students in Australia

While planning to study in Australia for free for international students may not be realistic, making a bang for your buck with your Australian degree totally is. Many of Australia’s biggest growth sectors correspond with the country’s most popular program fields. Better yet, many of these fields also correspond to the skill shortage areas Australia is eager to welcome international student graduates into.

In fact, in 2024, the Australian government changed the Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement for student visas to the Genuine Student requirement. Among other factors, the change intends to encourage students with the qualifications Australia is looking for in its labor force to pursue residency options.

Here are some of the highest-demand fields to study in Australia for your future career. Consider a course subject list in these fields to set you up for professional success!

Computer Science and Information Technology

Opportunities in this field will rapidly increase in the next several years, with the Australian government estimating that this sector’s growth will outpace all other sectors. 40% of overall work opportunities by 2026 are likely to constitute ICT security, database administration, and systems administration roles alone.

Can I Study Abroad in Australia on a Budget?

Realistically, options to study in Australia for free for international students are rare. But that does not mean you can’t find Australian degree options within your budget, especially if you score a scholarship!

“Affordability” is relative and depends on your circumstances. Nonetheless, tuition fees in Australia can range quite widely depending on:

· The size and prestige of the university – the bigger and more prestigious, the higher the tuition fees tend to be

· Whether the university is public or private – private university tuition fees tend to be higher than public university fees

· The location of the university – universities in cities with higher costs of living tend to be more expensive

· Your program – highly technical and resource-intensive programs tend to be more expensive

· Your study level – bachelor’s degrees overall can cost more than master’s degrees because of the longer duration

Scholarships to Study in Australia

A 100% scholarship allows you to study in Australia for free for international students. These are highly competitive though, so don’t limit yourself to just these award options. Australian universities offer plenty of generous scholarship options that can help reduce the financial pressure of a degree abroad, such as:

· Global Citizens Scholarship (International) – University of Adelaide

· International Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship (100%) – Deakin University

· Global Excellence Scholarship – University of Western Australia

Rounding Up

While it may not be possible to study in Australia for free for international students, the payoff will be more than worth it. An Australian degree can open up a host of opportunities for your career in the country as well as globally. Australian universities stay highly responsive to industry needs, meaning employability is a core consideration in their curricula.
