Recent times I noticed many people going to Australia first for study and then settling down there. THere is nothing wrong. Only four major cities and vast land yet unoccupied.

I don't know much about it, but it should worth trying.

Anyone one the board having any experience?

A Proud Indian Canadian

1. Good Climate

2. Professionals can settle in their field relatively easily

3. Public health care ( yes , australia and new zealand does offer free health care . It is not just canada )

4. Good pay rates for entry level jobs

5. You don't hear professionals in Australia complaining that they are working as general labour in factories

6. Eligible to apply for Citizenship after 2 years as a PR

7. The odd job( Gas station attendant ) rates are $15 + hour ( yes ) compared to about $8 in Canada

8. Main disadvantage is that it is a faraway land which is not so well connected to India as much as North America or Eurpope . For desis the fact that it is halfway around the world from US is also a turn off.

You know you are a desi when ........ You spew forth the virtues of India, but don't want to live there...............You've never had a tanning salon membership

One good thing about Australia is that they evaluate your credentials before you can apply. Only after they okay it, you can apply further.

So chances of getting a job in your field are relatively better. Although there might be the odd person still not getting jobs. Which is fairly ok.

Thanks & rgds.
