How is immigration and life in AUSTRALIA?

Answer 1

That is a rather complex question, and all depends on where you come from and what your economic status is.

Immigration in general is good. Australia is a country built on immigration, and most immigrants are treated as equals in society, the social welfare system, and generally find no real prejudice against them when seeking employment, so long as they immigrate legally to the country. Illegal immigrants are not seen with the same rights.

Life in general is also as good as, if not better than most western countries. Education and Health Care are underfunded as with most major countries, but they are up to a much better standard than countries such as the USA and much of Europe. Crime is also well under control, especially violent crime,

The minimum wage for most employees is at a reasonable level, and most people are eligible for some form of social security, provided they earn under approx $50K a year. Those living with income well in excess of this receive tax breaks, and those earning around the $50K - $100K mark often miss out on both and seem to struggle.

Public transport varies greatly in every major city, and air transportation plays a major role in interstate travel. This is due more to the extreme distances between the capital cities than any other factor. Roads throughout the country are generally in good condition.

If you are immigrating to Australia, in my opinion the best city to head to would be Melbourne, as it has much more of an international feel to it with many international areas, such as the Italian styled Lygon street, China town near Swanson street and the Greek district. Many of the outer suburbs also have large immigrant populations, such as Preston which has a large Chinese population, and Broadmeadows which has a growing Turkish population.

I hope that helps. I live in Melbourne, and have traveled extensively throughout Australia, the USA and Japan, and in comparison to those countries, life here is pretty good.

Answer 2

I've never been to Australia, yet I chose that country to migrate.
How's that? Well, I'm from Venezuela, and given the fact that our president is determined to destroy democacy and private property, I had to make a decision as where to go with my family.
I chose Australia because:
1.- It's a developed country.
2.- It's relatively easy to migrate if you have a skill.
3.- There's a lot of demand in my area of expertise (Civil Engineering).
4.- I'm fortunate to have a decent english level.
After much research, I think I took the right decision. My papers are soon to arrive.
You can contact an immigration agent, like I did. Try Southern Cross Alliance.
