Good luck with your decision, both countries have positives and negatives. But understand Canada is not ALL Snow and Cold. It can be 40+ C in the summer with the humidity in some places. We lived in Winnipeg for 5 years and it was not abnormal for it to be in the 40s without the humidity. No it doesn't last for 6 months but we don't all live in Igloos and freeze our bottoms off 12 months of the year either. Fresh air, open spaces are available in both Australia and Canada, you just need to decide if a true winter is something you would like to take on. PS: Canada has lovely beaches too ;):)

Hello ladies :) This is my first time here. Myself and my husband are planning to migrate to Canada or Australia! We are super confused between the two!! However, we are looking in terms of employment and balancing life and work!! Could some one give some insight regarding the same please??? Hello Shalu We were in a similar situation but, we opted for Canada and we are almost through. Trust me if your paperwork is all in order, the waiting game is no more a long one. Yes, one has to put in all efforts as a lot of paperwork is required but, once you set your mind on it, work on the paperwork promptly. In all honesty, only you and your hubby can decide what you are looking for in the years to come and for your kids. I believe both are beautiful countries but, go with your instincts. Good luck with your decision!

Both are beautiful countries, but I think Australia is more expensive generally and like others said they are so big so is it Sydney vs a remote village in Canada or Montreal vs somewhere 3 h north of Perth... See where you get the best job offers and do the maths. Of course Canada can be very cold, are you prepared for that?

You may need to be a bit more specific. Both are huge countries geographically with entirely different cultures, standards of living, industries, etc., depending on which part of the country you're in. What line of work are you in? Do you both plan to work? Do you have children? What do you value? What are your hobbies? What type of weather do you prefer? Etc... Hi there :) Thanks for the quick response. Well, we are planning to start of with an agency, through whom, one of our friends got through the migration process. We dont really have any specific locality, just the country is the priority! Maybe after getting the visa,we would consider the cities. But that is for later!! Well....I work in a manufacturing firm as the Human Resources Assistant and my husband, in the accounts department!! We personally prefer Canada, but just wanted to know regarding the employment rates for the above profession. I do understand, initially we may not get through the specific positions we are looking for, however, after gaining experience of a year or two, would be good or not? Ofcourse we both plan to work! And we dont have any children and are not planning the same until the migration process is complete which will take approximately two years as per the agency. Hobbies would be just hanging around, walk through the nature, dining out, movies etc etc. Not much of party people!! So which country would be recommended? Aussie or Canada? Hello, could you please let me know which immigration agent you used. Thanks

Have you checked you are both going to get visas and work permits as theneither country have relaxed immigrations rules. I have lived in both, I prefer Canasda but depends where you are plannign to live in canada and the same goes for Oz. I think you need to be more specific in your question Hi there :) Yes....we are aware that the process is going to take quite some time.... Hence thought of asking this question before making the decision and following it up. Again, i prefer Canada, but my husband feels that job oppurtunities are better in Australia for Accountants and HR fields. Is this true? I know it wouldnt be easy ofcourse, but which country out of the two has more slots for these fields?
