- Living in Australia as an Indian can seem to be hard but is it actually?
I moved to Australia from India in 2017 and then moved from Australia to Canada in 2022. During my 5 years of life in Australia, I tried to see how to apply for PR in Australia as I wanted to get permanent residency in Australia but even after studying and working in Australia I was not eligible.
However, I want to share my experience of life in Australia as a student, as a worker and as an immigrant so you get to choose whether moving to Australia is the right decision for you or not.
So if you are searching for Australia PR process in 2023 and want to know all about the country, then watch this video first.
These are some benefits of Australian PR and my personal experiences about why I loved living in Australia. This is a great video to compare Australia vs Canada and to check whether Australia pr vs Canada pr is the right one you.
And don't worry, I have made a video about the benefits of having a Canada PR as well.

I think you moved out just when the points were going to drop and they dropped when everyone said it will continue to go up. I moved in 2015 immediately after my 12th to Melbourne (RMIT Uni) and got my PR in mid-2022 just because I stuck it out there. It is quite clear that you love Australia, and my suggestion to your partner and you is to once again apply as offshore candidates. The last round went as low as 65! Just for the record, I have watched about 6-7 videos of yours just around the time I got my invite and they were amazingly fair, honest and unbiased. Good luck and hoping to catch up with both of you soon :-) Btw, everything you said in this video is bang on! There is no place like Down Under.
Yeah I know. Just my fate 😂
However, we had to move out, didn’t have a choice. But going to reconsider it.
That’s a wonderful video again Akanksha .. Very genuine. It’s very helpful for me and would be very helpful for anyone who is planning to travel. Thanks much for this. You should really for your PR. Cheers
Thanks a lot and I am glad you found this helpful 😍
MAM I AM AN INDIAN AUSTRALIAN AND I LOVE INDIA AND AUSTRALIA BUT I AM GOING VISIT CANADA ONE DAY JUST FOR HOLIDAYS BUT I CAN’T LEAVE AUSTRALIA MAM
You should definitely visit Canada one day. Beautiful country.
Why not! You should definitely apply for PR in Australia. I describe it as a person who live/lived in the both countries, I would say there’s a bit easy life in Australia which I always say lol. Money wise mental health wise etc.. compared to Canada. For a long term Australia is better but it would be definitely good to experience living in Canada in my opinion but ofc it depends on what you want in your life.
After five years being away from Australia, I realized what the country Australia provides was amazing like beach, weather, relaxation and so on so I’m moving back. Hope to meet you there mate! 😂🎉❤
Hahaha you got to lose something to know it’s worth.
I would encourage you to re-apply for Australian PR. I’ve lived in both and found Australia a happier and overall a better governed country . Canada used to be a great place some 10-20 years ago, not anymore…broken health care system, rising crimes, out of control homelessness and drug abuse…you name it!
I agree to that. It used to be an amazing country but with each day it is becoming worse than the day before.
@@WhatsnextakankshaStuff spreading from the US.
What about inflation in Australia?? Is it worse in Canada??
@@kbye452Australia’s wages fell the most against inflation than any other developed country. So to answer your question inflation in Australia is higher!
How is it possible to re apply if one is not meeting points criteria how is it possible?
Girl .. I feel your heart and soul loves Australia. Find a way to move back :-) Wishing you success 😍 - Cheers Swapna
Thanks a ton Swapna! I really do love Australia but leaving everything at fate now haha
Was questioning whether Australia is a good country to move to as an Indian, read a lot about how it’s isolating and really tough to make friends with locals. Would love your take on this!
The main problem is that local people already have friends so aren’t looking for new ones.
Would love to visit Canada but my home is Western Australia. Not perfect but about as close as you can get to Paradise on Earth. 😊❤️🇦🇺
Maybe one day!
Yes, go for Australia 🇦🇺
Awaiting a videos on How to, good luck
As i saw in your old video you struggled in australia to find a job related to your field. Does students who'll do masters in tech will face the same thing ?
Finding the first job without experience is very difficult (even with a degree). But everyone has a different journey so you can always try.
It would be great if you could remove the background audio. If something is informative, there should be no distraction. The background music distracts from the main topic
So much happy vibes in one video
😍😍
I'm glad you went to Australia and I'm glad you overcame some ideas about yourself. You are beautiful, feisty and, I believe, due to your victories, very intelligent.
Thank you so much!!
Ankasha,
The decision you are wrestling unnecessarily with is a major no brainer. Unlike most potential migrants, you have been through the settlement move twice-you have taken the risks and done the hard work: you know about the colour of the grass on the other side of the fence. Don't waste what you have learnt. Australia ranks well on the issues of pay and benefits, but if you are planning a long life (I recommend it), there are other issues and you must know what they are.
You are on the cusp of a big decision, one has a time limit that affects not just you, but your kids as well. It's winter in Sydney and I must close the blind because the sun is shining on my screen. I am indoors, not to stay warm, but because it is too bright outside! This is our lot . You have experienced a Canadian winter so you know what this means: you can't just dress for it.
From the perspective of Australia, Canada seems comparatively ungovernable with too many issues such as taxes and health insurance determined at the province level. There may be others. Australian health care is a bit fragmented between responsibility for primary care and hospitals. But with the establishment of the National Cabinet, and improvement on the previous arrangement, the prospects look even better for all the levels of government to work better together. With one province even having a different official language how can federal/provincal relationships be improved in Canada?
Then there is a (boring) hobby of mine: compulsory voting-and an Electoral Commission that works hard to ensure polling places are well-resourced and everyone is strongly encouraged to have a say in major decisions. Since the new government was elected, the failings of the previous one are being exposed so the prospects of a longish term in office are good. While short parliamentary terms have disadvantages, they tend to ensure government activities are under constant surveillance by more people as they will be called to the polls frequently. Compulsory, preferential voting seems a burden to those who do not experience its advantages with Saturday elections usually in summer.
I hope you will not need further convincing. There seem to be many videos of Indians in Canada warning against migrating there. Australia attracts migrants despite making it harder than Canada does. Australia strives for gold.
I am definitely reconsidering it. Needed a slight push just like this one and just because of all these qualities of Australia I feel like moving back.
Seriously my dear friend, I am not seeing the type of difficulties you are describing in Canada. Actually I lived here more than 48 years. For a starter Canada is not boring like Australia. We live an a very active population zone. USA, Mexico, Europe in striking distance.
If you are not ambitious live in Australia. It will give you minimum necessities of life. Otherwise immigrate to North America.
@@lakeofbays1622 if you think living in Australia is boring you must have lived in Australia for a loooong time. Australia is a BIG place. So putting the whole of Australia in that same ‘boring category is just completely wrong.
@@julzhunt7790 Then I think it is big and boring.
@@lakeofbays1622 then I think you’re uneducated and misinformed and have no clue what you’re talking about.
May I know how much was the Avg monthly living cost when you were in Australia? And what are your thoughts on the living cost compared to Toronto now?
I was spending around 12-1500 AUD every month there but I was staying in a shared apartment so my rent was less. Here I easily spend around 2000 CAD monthly.
I hope you will reply, I'm from Tamil Nadu, To be honest I'm not rich but I'm mid cls , i want to change my life style so, i decided to make some different moves like pursuing my masters in aus in Adelaide through education loan . I'm not sure whether i will get a job or not in future regards to my education. But my ambition is that i want to get a pr although it isn't a cup of coffee. Futher , with canada getting wrose nowadays, there is no other option for me now
What would you give me as an Idea for my life .
I have applied for PR of Australia.. just wanted to know how will be the life there.. i mean starting new career there from scratch, which I little afraid of... kindly guide
Hi Akanksha, I am kind off in a similar boat as someone who has option to apply for both Canda and Australia PR. So which one would you suggest based on your overall experience?
I am looking for place where I can settle in for a long time and don't want to move again (at least in near future). Thanks!
I’d say apply for both countries and once you get invited, you can decide which to choose. I moved to Canada in 2022 and already leaving so that says a lot 😬🙈
From the way you expressed yourself in your video, it sounded like Australia is home for you, Go home Akanksha😊. Go for the PR application. Wish you the best
You are so kind. Thanks! I do feel home at Australia. Hopefully one day I’ll go back xx
Of course you belong here. We appreciate having positive people in our midst. Eli from Russia has been here and having a ball. Catch her videos.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Definitely re-applying.
See u soon in Australia ❤
Haha 🤫
Thank you.
You are a smart, confident Indian girl. Looks are not important in this world Attitude what matters.Stay Happy,
Thanks! Took me a lot of time to realise that 🥰
Australian immigration places great importance on the relevance of your occupation to your qualifications. While I'm not aware of your specific bachelor's degree, I do know that you obtained a master's degree in cybersecurity and are currently working in advertising. In one of your videos, you mentioned that the basis for your Canadian PR was your experience in retail. These discrepancies in your qualifications and work experience might be contributing to the challenges you're facing in obtaining PR in Australia. Let's remain hopeful that there will be changes in Australian immigration policies, as it doesn't mean you lack skills. Perhaps your or your partner's work experience in Canada could eventually lead to better work opportunities in Australia or elsewhere. Good luck! 😊
Absolutely right. Hoping for the best though. I want to move back 😂
YES!!
🤟
Hii ,please reply ❤️ I am currently in a big confusion , I am preparing for CAT 2023 , but I want to move to Australia also for my MBA , can you suggest if I should go for IIM or moving abroad for MBA . Also , can someone alone moving there adjust there ? Since I have lived my entire life with a family 😢
Hey! MBA is pretty much useless to study in Australia because it does not have a PR pathway. And whethet you should choose Australia or India is something you should decide. I moved by myself and loved the experience but every person has their own experience.
@@Whatsnextakanksha thank you so much for the prompt reply ❤️ , so any course you can suggest , Which has PR pathway ?
@@Whatsnextakanksha living In India is just for the IIM otherwise who would not want to shift to Australia 🙂
@@Savsgirlssmellgood I cannot suggest anything in that matter but if you are really interested then you should contact an immigration lawyer.
@@Whatsnextakanksha thank you so much for the help , loved your video ❤️
Hey! Could you please share what kind of full-time job you used to do after your graduation in Australia? Was it in IT sector?
I was in advertising
Can you please advise How many days is the annual leave in general?
I used to get 28 business days. That’s normal
I relate to
I do think this like am I even indian when I don't fit in a single beauty standard
Beautiful😍
Thanks buddy
You’re welcome
Thank u so much....I m scared of moving there ....
Moving anywhere is scary. But it’s a life changing experience 😊
Awesome vlog mam love to see your vlog from Pakistan 🙂
I am so glad you liked my video! Lots of love from India 🌟❤️
Hi, what do you think you you are runing a small business in India as well
Would it be better to put a show from Australia that Canada as a second country
Because India 🇮🇳 Australia 🇦🇺 timings are more relatable then 🇮🇳 🇨🇦
How much will be living cost in Australia for the bachelors
I am not sure. It’s individualistic so probably research a bit about this on google and find out an average
which uni you went?
Macquarie
What else visa can i come to Australia
You’ll need to check on Dept of Home Affairs website
How is Australia for pursuing a post-doctoral degree?
Good :)
Then, why a lot of UK doctors are returning to UK from Australia.
Also, a lot of British immigrants in Australia are not happy about cost of living, medical system and house prices etc.
Did you not get PR in Australia too? Lol
Australia is the most happening place.
Which city has the most jobs in Australia?
Sydney
Very nice comparison! Canada at the current moment needs to reflect what they are plan with current influx of immigrants and what they plan on achieving with health care and jobs dearth!
Jass prah :p
Lol
Thank you so much for appreciating and understanding my views 😎
I agree with you.
Nice
Thanks
You’re making me want to go to Australia so badly 😭😂😂 and yea, I believe you should reconsider applying 😂
Haha you should start the process too!! 😍
@@Whatsnextakanksha maybe I should, before the winter comes back here in Ontario😂
I think you should move to Australia even without a second thought.
Thanks!
@@Whatsnextakanksha You did not ask me why?
Yeah sure would love to hear your thoughts
@@Whatsnextakanksha I thought Australia will make you very happy. That is all.
That’s very sweet of you. Thanks! ❤️
Australia is so isolated. Lived here for ages. Spent heaps and never obtained PR. PR is almost impossible to obtain unless you are super highly qualified, persistent and cashed up. The laws constantly change. They want many migrants just to be permanently permanent for cheap labour.
Yes PR is getting more and more difficult every year. That’s the only issue I had with Australia that they are very inconsistent with their immigration laws and change overnight.
Hello Akanksha
How are you ?
Where you live in Canada
Iam in Mississauga came here
On a vacation
Can we meet if you hav time
Thank you
Hi, just wanted to share some of my personal experiences. Generally speaking Australians are warmer, more direct and louder. Canadians are generally nicer, more refrained and quieter.
Australia has a three-pillar pension system. The first, public pillar, is composed of a means-tested Aged Pension that is financed by general tax revenues and provides basic benefits (some $1,500 per month depending on individual circumstances). The second pillar forms the backbone of the Australian pension system, and is made up of funded individual pension accounts called superannuation where employers are required by law to pay a certain percentage of a worker’s salary into a mutual fund (currently 10.5% as a minimum and rising to 12% by 2025). The third pillar involves individuals contributing to their superannuation funds or to Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs) out of their after tax income.
Australia has a two tired health care system which comprises both a free public system and a private system which is funded by both public money and private health insurance. Government also subsidises private health insurance premiums and high income earners must purchase private health insurance to avoid paying additional 2% in tax (Medicare Levy Surcharge). Because nearly half of the population has private health insurance, waiting times at public hospitals in Australia are generally shorter than in Canada.
Canada has three tier pensions called OAS, CPP, and private pension.
@@lakeofbays1622 CPP is a defined benefit system with capped contributions and limited benefits payable at retirement. Again, the system is under huge pressure and it’s one of the reasons why Canada runs a large immigration program.
@@bbc2630 My dear CPP is not under any threat. You know why?. It is pay as you go system and we bring in 500,000 people every year as new contributors.
As for our private pensions we can contribute up to 18% of our salary for the pension.
With all pensions my self and wife collects almost north of $ 175,000 CAD (not Aussie pesos) a year. That does not include our private wealth which we accumulated over the years.
@@lakeofbays1622 that’s exactly my point - the system is not sustainable therefore the need for constantly bringing in more people to pop it up and furthermore people are required to contribute more which means less take home pay
Ok
Judging from the way talk about Australia, clearly Australia is where you belong 😊
Thanks 🙏
I think u should live in Australia.
I have a under skin tone and i am a south Indian girl who loves Australia, will australian people see the racism and behave?
Sorry I didn’t understand the question
@@Whatsnextakanksha Do they criticise by seeing a darker skin colour people?
@@divyalakshmi2253 Yes, they do. Better for you stay in India
No they don't
It's a multicultural country people don't fuss about these things.
Go to Australia you will never regret
Experiencing this side of the world and leaving the rest on destiny 😅😇
But why then she moved to Australia
Don't you like Canada?
It’s not bad
akanshka u r so beautiful
Thanks!
Stay where you are! There’s too many people here
She belongs to Australia and I’m not sure if you do
@@bbc2630 I didn’t mean it in the way you assumed! I meant it’s stressful living here and not the country it used to be so keep your judgements to yourself!
@@fiftiesandfabulous I thought you meant “fxxk off, we are full!” My apologies if I have misinterpreted it
@@fiftiesandfabulous You better keep your judgements to yourself
@@bbc2630 No worries 😉
In Quebec, you will be judged by your ability to speak French.
Haha that’s why I didn’t move there 😂
indian refugee gal in aussie land lol
Thank you!
Trust me, Canada is a much better country
Just remember why you left Australia in the first place. It got worse since you left.
So in what way has Australia got worse?
@@julzhunt7790 Aussies can't afford to buy a home. People can't afford rent. Drugs and crime is out of control.
@@julzhunt7790 When you are told you will earn x amount of dollars but the dollars don't last, what is the point?
@@libatalklieb5793 1 not true, especially here in WA. It’s all a matter of what house you are wanting to live in.
2: People can afford rent there’s just a rental shortage and not many new houses being built.
3: Drugs, alcohol and crime are all over the world🙄 At least in Australia it is fairly minimal.
So maybe before you go making completely misinformed statements you should find out the actual truth.🙄
@@libatalklieb5793 then maybe you need to reassess how you live. Both myself and my Elderly Mum are on a Pension and we both still have money left at the end of the fortnight.
Are their racism im brown
Racism is everywhere in the world, but personally I have not experienced it in Australia
I think u will never be satisfied in life.
That’s the motivation to grow and do better every day ✌🏼
Ah a better reply 👍
Australia isn’t a safe place.
That’s a wrong narrative. It’s one of the safest countries I have lived in. Yes, there are nuisance creators now and then but it’s not unsafe as such
@@Whatsnextakanksha you shared your experience/opinion. I shared mine. Simple. You don’t have to agree with mine and vice versa. Individual experiences cannot be denied. It is an unsafe country indeed.
@@rkbarad13 of course. But I would also like to know what happened with you that made your opinion like that? (Genuinely asking)
The Question is if you liked Australia so much ...Then why did you move to Canada ??
Good question. My visa was ending in Australia and there was no way to get it renewed so Canada was my backup option.
@@WhatsnextakankshaWhy don't you just live in India and build your life there instead of running away from things?
@@Spacemonkeymojomay be it's her choice, we should leave it on her.
