We don’t always get what we want but regardless you’ve got to be grateful for having an Australian citizenship. Hopefully you get your Canada PR stuff sorted soon.✨
If I was you I would really rethink relocating to Canada, information from different sources is that life is becoming increasingly difficult, you might be jumping out the frying pan into the fire. Imo USA is a better option
It's not so bad. People in Aus are also going nuts about the "housing crisis" and "cost of food" and all that. Tis the same everywhere tbh, and Canada is a way nicer country, with way better services and societal conditions than the US.
@@debuthunter5389you are right, I do not understand why people think Australia is some kind of haven. Cost of living is off the charts and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to own a house in Australia irregardless of where you are.
@@theeglobalcitizen Man you're making a big mistake. Canada is a total dump now. There is no FIFO for CAN/US here, never heard of anyone doing it. Internal flights are a fortune. You're seeing cool places but they're super far away from each other with more expensive flights than Australia. Not to mention the hotels, cost of everything once you're there. Super rare for a Canadian to have seen much of our country. Our healthcare doesn't work, which is MASSIVE and I just couldn't put into words. Cost of living is higher, and wages are lower. Taxes overall are higher. Calgary has super high unemployment more often than not, and -30 is no joke. Even things like cell phone plans are the highest in the world. Just look at Canada compared to Australia disposable income numbers. The US is good to live and work but not really to vacation, so we're actually even more isolated than Australia is. You have the best region to travel by far.. east asia. Latin america is just too dangerous, doesn't make for good vacations. Houses in Canada since 199x have gone up 550% where as its 450% in Australia so once again we're worse there. Trust me don't waste your time. You wont beat Australia. Try Melbourne or Brisbane. North America is broken. The one caveat I would say is if you can get a very high paying job in the US, but I wouldn't even bother if I were you. Water the grass where you are.
Hello, fellow Zimbo here residing in northern Europe since the early 2000s. Have you considered the EU, particularly the Nordic countries? Similar geography and weather to Canada; similar wages but more robust and comprehensive healthcare system and lower cost of living. Closer to Africa while not being too far from North America. Europe as a block has as many opportunities as any place in the world. You can get by on only English, though you will want to learn the local language of your country of residence to fully integrate.
**DUDE. READ THIS. The Australian citizenship is EPIC news for your Canada plans. I am an Australian, and Canadian Permanent Resident. Here is your best pathway to get there: With the Australian citizenship, apply for IEC (International Experience Class - Working Holiday) visa for Canada. It's super easy to apply for, you'll get approved within a month or two, and costs like $150. It'll give you a 24 month open work permit for Canada to live and work and whatever. Once you have 12 months of "Canadian work experience" that gives you a tonne more points for your Express Entry, enough to pretty much guarantee you Permanant Residency for Canada!!
Thanks for this bro, I will definitely look into doing that. I just have to wait for my citizenship ceremony and passport so that it’s actually official before I can do any of this stuff, but to be honest, US has really caught my eye now. The ideal scenario for me would be family and myself living in Canada while working in the US, it’s close enough to be doing FIFO in and out of the US from Canada.
@@theeglobalcitizen - My comment keeps getting removed it looks like. From you or from YT? Experience has been all good. Nothing bad at all. Been based in Alberta for 6 years in total, mostly in Calgary, and a few years in Banff.
@@Gloryboyquan tbh, I couldn’t recommend Canada more. A Kenyan friend of mine that lives here in Perth visited Ontario 4 years ago and went to the Caribana festival in Toronto. He literally came back in awe of just how multicultural and inclusive his experience in Canada was. There are so many Africans, Caribbeans, and just people from around the world. When he got back to Australia, him and his mum were certain that they would definitely be settling and retiring in Canada at some point in their lives. Canada is not perfect, but trust me, after spending 10 years in a society that doesn’t really recognize black/afro immigrants; I’m really just unhappy here. All I want is just a place where I am truly recognized, respected, and feel like an integral part of society, and that you will never find in Australia.
Common brother. We don't do RIGHT NOW in Canada. As an Australian, I doubt you have it rough. Canada's immigration system is based mostly on humanitarian grounds; meaning, people who need to get to Canada freeing persecution are given priority. Given that you're already in Canada and not running from anybody, waiting is shouldn't be the end of life for you. To be honest, as someone who know a bunch of people waiting in the line for the last 5 years, I don't see how your case should be a priority so Canada is not failing you. By prioritizing your case, it would be failing those who really are in need.
He isn't in Canada right now. He is in Perth waiting on residency for Canada. However, with the Australian citizenship he can easily get there on a working holiday visa.
What a load of misinformation. Refugees or Privately sponsored refugees make up only 75K out of 450K or 16% of the total permanent residents in a year.
Did you attempt to move to Melbourne or Sydney? Perth is not on anyone's radar in the Eastern states. Too isolated and full of English people! You wouldn't have found that level of isolation being a non Australian in Melbourne. I work in an environment which is a smorgasboard of nationalities and all are treated like Aussie's. Basically you waisted 8 yeats in no mans land when you could have made enormous strides in Melbourne or Sydney. Funny how so many are leaving Canada for Australia. Think you might find yourself back here in a few years.
Been to all the major cities on the east coast, and to be honest, there’s not much difference compared to Perth besides the CBDs just being generally bigger with bigger population. There’s just more activity out there but still, unmistakably a very recognizable Australia.
He has done his time to be eligible for citizenship, but it's also okay to have not had the greatest experience in his time there. I am born and raised Australian and left to live overseas, just like many others I know. You can still be of a country, but understand there may be a better fit elsewhere long term.

Congratulations Mate !!! It must have been bitter-sweet experience. May be you should just make the most of the Australian dream, Life is waiting.
I have thought about that, but unfortunately I have just outgrown Australia and job opportunities in my industry just aren’t that great here🥲

Probably the smartest advice I’ve seen on this. This pathway is valid only until you turn 35.
Hey there, how has your experience been so far out there if you don’t mind me asking? Where are you based in Canada ?
@@theeglobalcitizen - My comment keeps getting removed it looks like. From you or from YT?
Experience has been all good. Nothing bad at all. Been based in Alberta for 6 years in total, mostly in Calgary, and a few years in Banff.
@@debuthunter5389 no not at all bro, I’m not sure why? Did you use any offensive language or something ?
Australia and Canada has work holiday agreements for people under 35. You will also be able to come to Canada
Do let us know how you plan to leverage your Australian passport to access different visas in the US. That would make an informative video
Sure thing, working on that. Stay tuned 😊
Congratulations on your Australian citizenship! Hope you get your Canadian dream soon
Canada is easy for him to get now with that Australian citizenship! Shouldn't be long now!
The quest for Canada becomes a very interesting one now. Hopefully Australian citizenship helps 🥲
i hate that you don't like being Australian but applied for a citizenship.... try living in a different state if WA doesn't suit you..
Congratulations…….what a journey🙏🙏🙏
Been a long journey, but we keep moving. Thank you!
@@Gloryboyquan where do you live currently ?

@@Gloryboyquan still being in your 20’s, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you, make the move and make the jump bro. You only live once.
@@Gloryboyquan sure, can you add me on Facebook, my name is Fadzai Eddie.
Just a quick question, why Canada over the US?
Canada to live and start family (much safer), but US for work in the big leagues.
Agreed. Generally much safer, better social systems etc.
Congratulations on your new acquired citizenship
Definitely sth to celebrate 🎉
Thank you 😊
You could probably find work in Texas or California

Well, those other cities are still in Australia so what did you expect ? You need to 'get real' with yourself.@@theeglobalcitizen
Your lack of enthusiasm is a bit insulting to the country that just gave you your citizenship....
I apologize to the people of Australia for expressing myself…
@@theeglobalcitizen Nobody said you can't express yourself...
I agree.
He has done his time to be eligible for citizenship, but it's also okay to have not had the greatest experience in his time there. I am born and raised Australian and left to live overseas, just like many others I know. You can still be of a country, but understand there may be a better fit elsewhere long term.
How is it insulting though? Care to explain?
