Both Australia and Canada are beautiful countries; both have a high standard of living and quality education to offer. Both have common elements that include British heritage, among other things. Both countries are popular with immigrants who are thinking of emigrating. People often come to us for Visa immigration services but most of them always get confused between Australia and Canada. So here are some comparisons made.
Australia the smallest continent in the world but it is the largest island with a warm climate, typical climates are temperate, subtropical or Mediterranean. Canada has mainly the continental type of climate, it is very cold here, during the winters. Northern Canada was mostly covered in snow for about 6 months. When it comes to unemployment, Canada has the highest unemployment rate which is 7.1% while Australia has an unemployment rate of 6.0%. Also, immigration to Canada is easier and less strict. The cost of living, including housing, rent, and groceries, is slightly higher in Australia than it is in Canada. The health system is slightly better in Australia. People in Canada are friendlier to immigrants than in Australia. It would be bad and critical if Australia is said to be a racist country that it is no longer, even though there are few instances of racism found, but those don’t make the headlines. Canada is an ethnically diverse and multicultural nation that is the product of large-scale immigration from many parts of the world.
For permanent residence both countries follow a point based system, the processing is around 3-4 months in Australia while in Canada it is around 5-6 months.
Permanent Residence in Canada
To become a permanent resident, a foreign national must apply to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizens Canada). There are several ways one can be the fastest Express Entry System. Express entry is considered the fastest in Canada. First you have 2 stages, apply for a PR invitation and be selected from a pool of candidates based on total score (based on age, language, work experience, education, etc.). Second, upon receiving an invitation, the visa application form must be at the immigration office. The IRCC then processes it within 6 months of receiving the request. PR in Canada subcategorized as Federal PR and PNP (Provincial Nominee Program), the former being applicable throughout the country. PR expires every 5 years and has to be renewed after 5 years. The benefits of being a permanent resident have the same rights as Canadian citizens, they can also get other social benefits and the Canadian pension plan.
Permanent Residence in Australia
Processing time is around 3-4 months for key permanent resident visas. There are qualified independent visas and qualified nominated visas. To apply for PR, one must follow the point based immigration system, there must first be an online submission of an application that is EOI (Expression of Interest) in the Skill select online system, which is an online form that makes a series of questions about your skills depending on the visa subclass you select. The score is calculated based on education, skills, experience, etc. And if you are selected you will get the ITA for the visa.
Also, there is another factor that affects your visa, which is the rules and regulations, considering the immigration rules and policies of both countries, Canada has easier and more flexible immigration rules.
