Australia vs Canada: Which to Choose?
You should choose which country to live in based on the following factors:
- Education
- Affordability
- Housing
- Climatic Conditions
- Inflation
- Unemployment Rate
- Inclusivity
1. Education
In terms of education, Australia has some really high-ranking universities in the QS World Ranking list. For instance, the University of Melbourne ranks 14th and is on the QS World Ranking. If you take a Canadian university for example, it’s the University of Toronto on the 21st rank.
2. Affordability
Living in Canada might cost you less than living in Australia. A person living in Canada might only have to pay about $2,040 a month as their living expenditure. On the other hand, an individual has to spend about $2,300 in Australia on a monthly basis.
Hence, you can say that living in Canada would be more affordable than in Australia.
3. Housing
A one-person rent of a month costs about $1,225 in Canada while in Australia, it will cost about $1,340. Moreover, if you live in Canada with your family, it’s going to cost you almost $2,000. However, living in Australia with your family would cost you even more. You might have to pay about $2,250 a month.
4. Climatic Conditions
The weather in Canada is almost always cold. The winters are frigid icy in the Northern Territories, while summers bring just the perfect weather in some of the provinces.
Australian weather is a lot different than the rest of the world. It’s known as the land Down Under and that is definitely for a reason. When the Northern hemisphere is going through winters, Australia is experiencing its summers.
5. Inflation
The inflation rate in Australia is about 6.59%, whereas inflation in Canada is around 6.80%. Well, this clearly means that Australia would be a better country to live in, since its inflation rates are lower than that of Canada.
6. Unemployment Rate
At 3.7%, the unemployment rate of Australia is lower than that of Canada (5.2%). However, Canada is currently under a huge labour shortage, which is actually a positive factor for international skilled workers. Finding a job in Canada in one of its key industries is going to be a lot easier now.
Moreover, Canada is planning on inviting about 1.5 million immigrants and granting them permanent residency in the next three years, which again increases the chances of you immigrating there.
Hence, in terms of immigration, you can now decide which country is better, Canada or Australia.
Which country provides easy immigration and fast PR?
It is much easier to immigrate to Canada than to Australia. You can get Canada PR much faster if you apply through any of the Express Entry programs. You may even be able to immigrate to Canada in under 5 months while gaining Australian PR may take you about 11 months.
