I am 14th may applicant...received PER on 27th Aug......still awaiting MR request from NDVO
I had been endeavoring for Australian PR also for last 1.5 years before applying for Canada since the Canada PR window was closed for me at that time....
A week back, with the grace of God, I received my Australian PR Visa grant for me and my family....
Now I have some questions and apprehensions in my mind to ask with this privileged forum members....
1. Should I inform NDVO about the same?....will it impact my application in both situations, if I don't inform them or I do.......
2. Should I wait for the MR request before pursuing my Australian ventures.......
3. Which option would be better for me? Australia or Canada, Considering my area of work, branch Manager with leading life insurance company with 10 years of experience....
Would like to have suggestion on 3rd Question specially from Seniors and those who have an experience of both countries and can throw light on all aspects of life and future prospects in both countries.....Others could also give their kind suggestions, most welcome.
I would say..A very nice confusion to have
My suggestion would be to keep Canada option open as well and do not let it go.
You must have invested time, money and effort in getting to this stage for Canada.
Get Australian PR visa stamped. Continue with Canda process till it completes. I dont think it would impact your Candaian application if you have Australia PR visa stamped.
I am sure you would have ample amount of time on hand till then to do your research as in which country is better for your job profile.
I know somewhat about life in Australia.
If weather is of any concern to you, then Australia is better option by all means, plus it is closer to India than Canada is.
Regarding job market, I think its decent for your field of work, still I would urge you to do thorough research.
Dig up contacts through your network of friends and colleagues to get contacts in both Canada and Australia and try to get as much info as possible.
If you still can't decide, then roll the desk globe, close your eyes and stop the globe with a finger, the point which is nearest to either of them, pick that ;D
