I have decided to apply for a new nationality, i'm studying in London but i'm not British. Some have advised me to apply for a Canadian Nationality and my Aussie friends are enthusiatic about Australia. In terms of the ease of proceedures in obtaining the nationality, life style and any other considerations, which is better?

Since Canada is in a continent and Australia is in another one... plus their culture are very differently too. I don't see how can you be in doubt of it since there isn't so much similarities between the two nationalities to get you confuse about it. Different country different languages different cultures there are nothing better form one to another. All depends of your values and what do you consider better. In Canada for example there are 2 languages french and English, there are influence of both cultures while in Australia only the British cultures influence...all depends of your personal value.

I would say they are about equal. At least that was my view when I looked into it many years ago. Both demand that you have an income or savings and maybe the promise of a job, as I remember. I do not know if both allow dual citizenship?
I have been impressed in the past by what I saw in the way of protection for Australian citizens. I would, based on what I saw years ago, rather be under the protection of the Australian Embassy than many others including the U.S.
Also consider the current times. If you can integrate into the economy in Australia I would vote on going there. You will be in a better position to escape some troubles in the immediate works for North America, Europe and the Mid-East.

Research each country well. Keep in mind that there are clear differences even from province to province in Canada, or from one part of Australia to another. The more you know about the country of your choice, the better you can make decisions and understand where and what you're getting into. Know where the jobs are, know your own skills, and learn the laws. Don't exclude possibilities such as working in the country where you came from. Globalism is still changing the economy and ecology of the planet, so it's to your advantage to keep educating yourself on these issues: laws, vocational rehabilitation, language and communication, citizenship and immigration.
As you may discern from some of the other replies, people tend to welcome those who show an active interest in learning the culture of the host nation. You could start now, even while applying for visa and work.

That's a pretty big step to take, based on nothing more than internet input. You don't say what your present nationality is, but that could be a factor in gaining citizenship in either country.
Which country would you rather live in? Which country offers the best job opportunities? The best career path? Which lifestyle would you prefer, as the two are quite different.
As you are a student, why not apply to do a year of graduate, or undergraduate work, in one of the countries, then do another year in the other country, and see which suits you best.

Only you can answer that question.
I have travelled a lot. But i would never apply for another nationality (given the choice) without having visted the country as much as possible. Once you choose to live in a new country you must accept the differences you will encounter and there is no way to find out which country you will best fit in to without personally experiencing it.

But countries are of British tradition, though Canada has two founding nations, France and Britain. Advantage of Canada is that it close to the US - and closer to Europe than Australia which is sort of "isolated" down under. And there is this advantage of the two cultures, especially in the province ofQuébec.

If you have a choice... go for Irish... nobody hates the Irish and your passport will be honored everywhere. Besides... would you REALLY want to have people think you are from Canada? And as for Australia... well... being an Aussie may not be all that bad... but they DO get involved in wars for the U.S. and the Irish don't.

Where are you from to begin with, and why don't you have loyalty for that country? Canada has cold winters, Australia is moderated by the surrounding ocean, but has higher cost of living. I guess it's up to you. Or you can let a bunch of strangers on the net decide for you if you prefer.

When push comes to shove we will not hesitate to take out Australia, in fact I think it's in the agenda, but the Canadian's are our friends and most importantly our neighbors. Go with the Canadian'sAae!
