Which is better, Canada or Australia?

Canada and Australia have always been hot spots for immigrants. Their immigration policies, economic capacity, climatic conditions and attitudes towards immigrants are all top-notch, but each country's policies, economy, climate and attitudes are different. Which country is more suitable for immigration, we compare it from the following angles.

Economy:

Canada is one of the seven industrialized countries in the west. Manufacturing and high-tech industries are developed, and it is also one of the richest countries in the world. However, because Canada borders the United States and relies heavily on the United States in culture, politics and economy, it is difficult for Canada to be immune from the economic recession in the United States. The most direct manifestation is the high unemployment rate in the United States and Canada, and vice versa.

Australia has a vast territory and rich resources. It has developed in an all-round way in many fields such as economy, science and technology, military affairs and sports, and has become a well-deserved hegemon in the southern hemisphere. Australia's economy is strong, and its relative independence is an important reason for its strength. It has also made Australia one of the richest countries in 150 years, with the HDI and YBLI indices ranking first in the world, and the per capita GDP ranking second in the world, completely winning among the four major immigrant countries. Agriculture and mining are the pillars of Australia's economy, and its defensive characteristics are also an important reason for its standing in the global financial crisis.

Employment:

Although Canada is the world's concentration of heavy industry and has a complete industry, the employment rate has been very low and the brain drain is serious (it takes only a few minutes from Toronto to the United States). If you have very good language skills and certain skills, you can find a job smoothly and earn a good salary here. If they are low-skilled workers, they are at a disadvantage. If you are an entrepreneur, Canada has a strong advantage. As long as you have an idea, the government will actively support your business plan and give generous loans.

A strong economy can make Australia a paradise for low-and middle-skilled workers. Australia has the highest standard and the lowest starting salary, and the unemployment rate has remained extremely low among developed countries, which makes Australia the easiest place to find a job in the world (there is a trend that Americans go to Australia to find a job recently). As a low-skilled worker, if the same job is bigger in the United States or Canada, the salary is only about 50% of that in Australia; Even for professionals such as engineers, Australia still has a salary advantage; But senior technicians are not as good as Canada or the United States. Because Australia is far from the United States, Australia does not have to worry about brain drain like Canada.

Climate:

Canada has a vast territory and is the second largest country in the world. Red and gold, swaying in the trees and falling in front of maple leaves with the wind, are the unique romantic atmosphere displayed by Canada, the country of maple leaves. Canada has six climatic zones, most of which have distinct seasons. The coastal and southeast areas of Pingyang have mild and pleasant climate, and these areas are also densely populated. In addition, the climate in the north, including the Arctic, is cold.

Australia is surrounded by the sea, and the coastal areas have a pleasant climate and beautiful environment. It is a world-famous tourist attraction and the only country in the world that monopolizes a continent. There are many species in Australia that are not found in other regions. Kangaroos are Australia's national treasures. However, there are a lot of desertification in semi-arid areas in central Australia, and the climate in these areas is dry and sultry.

Price:

Prices in Canada are high and taxes are heavy. Many consumer goods are several times more expensive than neighboring America, so people often drive to America to shop and save money on consumer goods.

Prices in Australia are higher than those in Canada, New Zealand and the United States.

Social welfare:

As a member of the Commonwealth, Canada, like Australia and New Zealand, has better welfare policies. Free medical care for all is the pride of Canadians, but except for emergencies, the waiting time for medical treatment is long (in fact, the waiting time for medical treatment in welfare countries is longer). Note that free medical care in Canada only includes medical services, consultation fees and hospitalization fees, and medical expenses must be taken care of by themselves. Compared with Australia and New Zealand, unemployment benefits and pensions are at a disadvantage. Unemployment benefits need to prove that they did not leave voluntarily and had at least 9 10 hours of tax work before, so they cannot receive unemployment benefits indefinitely, and there is a time limit; The pension needs to live in 10 years, and the old-age insurance premium was paid monthly before working. The amount of pension depends on the payment time of the previous month and fluctuates in proportion to the amount.

The government believes that employment in Australia is easy and it is not allowed to apply for welfare for two years after receiving PR. Australian pregnant women and milk subsidies are generous, and mothers have extra rewards for having one more child; Free medical care for all; There are strict conditions when applying for unemployment benefits, and there may be an interview when applying; Secondly, it takes a long time for the government to queue up for free public housing.

Government:

Canada has been influenced by the political and economic atmosphere in the United States and Europe all the year round. The government is very responsible, has long been committed to eliminating racial discrimination and is friendly to new immigrants.

The Australian government attaches importance to the economy above all else, and its views cannot be changed. Australia, a former British colony, was once a "wild land" used by the British to exile prisoners. As the descendants of prisoners, the Australian people in history have strong self-esteem and won respect through strength for many years. The great economic success has made Australia look down on all developed countries in Europe and America. The most direct consequence of the ruling idea of putting economy above everything else is the excessive pursuit of low unemployment rate, which in turn affects the immigration policy.

Social atmosphere:

Canadians have high national quality and are not as enthusiastic as Australia and New Zealand. In recent years, the status of Chinese in Canada has been rising and their social influence has been increasing. Many China elites have become not only business tycoons, but also politicians. Chinese in Canada can be seen everywhere. In Vancouver and Toronto, it has been basically occupied by Chinese, and almost half of the population is Chinese (Richmond has 43.6% Chinese residents).

Australians are generally enthusiastic about people and have high cultural literacy. Like the United States and Australia, China has been excluded on a large scale in history (in fact, some Australians who advocate "White Australia first" don't even want to recognize their ancestors now, and the voice of leaving the Commonwealth has been strong for many years). The Australian government's ruling philosophy is that the economy is above everything else and attaches great importance to the unemployment rate. Therefore, when the economy is in trouble, it is difficult to tighten the immigration policy. Although this tough attitude is not necessarily the embodiment of public opinion, it can really convey to the people that skilled immigrants are not needed here for the time being.

On the whole, Canada and Australia, as the two countries most favored by immigrant applicants, have their own advantages and disadvantages. Applicants should choose the most suitable immigration destination in combination with their own immigration starting point and the policy conditions of the two countries. After all, what suits you is the best.
