Life in Australia or Canada for immigrants as well as international students is already hard but you can make the process by learning what you should not be doing as an international student or immigrant living abroad.
I moved to Australia from India as an international student and then later on Australia to Canada as a permanent resident and in those 6 years of living abroad as a student, (alone) I made a lot of mistakes that were good as well as bad for me. I learnt so much from them so I thought I should share some of my worst mistakes living in Australia and Canada so you get to learn abou them and prepare yourself in a better way for your life abroad.
Whether you are living in Australia or studying in Canada or preparing to move as a permanent resident, you should watch this vlog to know how life is and what big mistakes all new immigrants make and what I wished I knew before moving to Canada.

I hardly doubt you could have gotten Aus pr even if you move to regional area. I was there same time as you. The immigration policy was as unpredictable as the weather. When i left Brisbane only 4 occupations were on the skilled list. Of all my friends, only one got pR, the rest had to go through the marriage route. You need to appreciate Canada and look back to what your life would be as a temporary resident in Australia. Though i heard its much easier for Pr now. Focus on the real food Canada has given you rather than the cherished crumbs you had in Australia. Peace of mind in invaluable. Honestly, it wasn't easy at first here in Canada for me but it has gotten much better for me in my career and finances. Australia has changed at the moment. My friend pays $350 per week for a room in Perth. So its not all rosy there now. Take care and wish you the best.

Yes. It is agreed a lot of skills job requires PR or citizen status. If you take casual job in your graduate visa, it is very hard to get skills point / assessment to apply permanent residency.

Akanksha, one your best vlogs. Good advice for everybody even for people who are quite seasoned. My two small advices. The money you can spare dump it into a moderate risk equity fund and forget it for the next 20 years. I did it and is helping me a lot. Actually it turned into a gold mine. The risks will even out during the long period of investment. 2nd advice, take a one week vacation to Florida, Mexico or Caribbeans during winter. This will relax you quite a bit and energize you for rest of the season. I do it most of the winters. Even the thought of going somewhere relaxes you. This is a good medicine for SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Wish you all the luck in pursuit of Australian PR.

Thank you so much, means a lot coming from you. And thanks for the advices too, I will consider the medium risk investments too :) Still new to it.

I live in Toronto Canada and completely agree with the point about immigrants needing to make an effort to learn the way of living, trends, and culture, mindset etc of the new place they’re moving to! I see so many newcomers here who don’t do this at all and it does feel disrespectful for sure. If you move to a new place it’s important to try to respect the place and integrate into the community harmoniously

@Whatsnextakanksha 7 ай бұрын

Thanks. I also agree that new immigrants in Canada do not want to blend in and integrate in the Canadian culture. It’s saddening and annoying at the same time.
