Is it better to immigrate to Australia or Canada?

Compare Australia and Canada in all directions

I think there are four countries that are widely regarded as suitable for American immigrants: the United States and Canada in North China; Australia and New Zealand in Oceania. Among them, the United States and New Zealand each have serious disadvantages (the former is too demanding and the latter is underdeveloped). At present, most immigrants from China are concentrated in Australia and Canada. I graduated from a domestic university and went to ubc in Canada to study for a master's degree. I failed to apply for an American school after graduation. After much consideration, I immigrated to Sydney. I think I am qualified to compare these two countries.

Let's introduce the general situation of the two countries first, which can still explain some problems. Australia has a population of 20 million and a land area of 7.7 million square kilometers. In 2004, the per capita income was 2 1.650, ranking 19 in the world. Canada has a population of 27 million, a land area of 9976 1000 square kilometers, and a per capita income of 23930 in 2004, ranking 18 in the world. In terms of figures, Canada is a little better, but the gap is very small, which is basically the same level. (According to CIA data in 2007, Australia ranked 16, US$ 43,798 in the world; Canada ranks $65,438+08,43,478, which is still neck and neck, but Australia has surpassed Canada. These data come from the yearbook of the Central Intelligence Agency, that is, the world fact book of 200810.2 provided by the Central Intelligence Agency. )

Economically, the manufacturing industries in both countries are not very developed, and there is basically no heavy industry. Their advantages are export processing industries such as agriculture and ore. Both countries are the world's largest exporters of agricultural products, and Australia is the world's largest exporter of mutton (but Australians rarely eat mutton). (Supplementary, the unemployment rate data was not introduced last time. The unemployment rate in June 5438+February 2008 in Canada was 6.6%, while that in Australia was 4.4%. Don't underestimate the 2% gap, which is a very big gap in the economic field, which is also the reason why many Canadians come to Australia to find jobs. About the unemployment rate, you can go to Google search. )

Evaluation: Canada's small victory (now it can be changed to Australia's big victory)

In international politics, both countries are members of the Commonwealth and Canada is a member of the Group of Seven. Although ranked last, but also very proud. But in their respective regions, Canada can only follow in the footsteps of the United States, and Australia is the undisputed leader in their own regions.

Evaluation: tied.

In terms of climate, Australia is in the southern hemisphere and Canada is in the northern hemisphere, which is quite different. As for where it is better, naturally each has its own advantages. Personally, I feel that the best thing about Australia than Canada is the climate. I stayed in Vancouver for a year and a half. The climate there is basically the same as that in the northeast (undergraduate studies in Harbin). It is cooler than Harbin in summer and colder outside in winter. But as long as you stay indoors, you won't feel cold, but it's still not suitable for most people in China. Needless to say, Australia will be cold for a few days in winter, hot for a few days in summer, and the remaining 330 days will be like a holiday.

Evaluation: Australia wins.
