aus vs canada

[ravian611]

hi guys

hope all are fine

i am asking on behalf of a friend who is sort of in middle of situation

 

he is accountant and secured job interview in one of accountancy firms in aus for which he is positive to get an offer

they have told him to give him around 2 years work visa and then extend it on basis of performance.

 

on other hand, he can apply.for canadian pr after clearing ielts, his all other requirements for pr are met

 

Now what are pro and cons for aus vs canada

 

I mean if he goes for aus.

it might take him 6 to 7 years for nationaility however in canada 3 years after getting Pr

 

accountants are getting tough time in aus overall. another red flag

 

what other factors can be put on table to decide.pls advise

To confirm:  If he takes the Australian offer, it's for a 2 year contract only, with the possibility of extending, and then ultimately applying for PR at the end of it, yes?  

I would say that if he takes that route, he will not succeed in getting PR.   At the end of the temp contract, he will still have to meet all the criteria to apply for PR.   He doesn't get any special dispensations just because he's been working in Australia.   The huge risk would be that accountants won't be on the list by the time he applies.  

I'd say, if he can get PR now, either in Canada or Australia, that's what he should go for - because the door may close if he delays.

Yes, 2 years work visa. He is still waiting for formal offer letter after which he will get to know exact visa type he will be getting

But one thing for sure that he will have to complete 5 years after getting PR. Further, being in Aus wouldnt facilitate him in any aspect for PR. right?

and with every coming day, accountants are in red zone for PR.

In that case your guidance is in right direction

Australia and Canada are two very different countries. Which one does he actually want to live in?

Is the climate a factor? They are very different.  I would say the people/ attitudes etc are very similar and also the standard of living so it comes down to personal preferences and which is the best and the least risky.

The dynamics are different. His aim is to get PR and eventually passport. For that, he has 2 options, accept job offer in aus and then after getting in Aus, start PR process. but if being in aus doesnt increase his points then he is standing at 65 to 70 max for accountatns and that is difficult to get pr
for canada he meets all requirements but ielts. so as soon as he clears ielts he can apply pr and will take around 7 to 8 months to secure pr and then he can search job in canada on basis of PR

If your friend is only interested in gaining PR in another country, then from what you've written Canada appears to be the easier pathway.

Some advantages to Australia would be that he would already have a job so income starting immediately.  Australian work experience is also added points towards getting an invitation if he chose to apply for a 189/190 visa.
