Hi Guys,
I got the Canada PR and now planning to move to Canada in a couple of months. I also have a PR of Australia and currently working in Melbourne as a developer in IT.
Before I make a move, certain questions popped up to my mind as I was comparing the 2 countries. I am not comparing the weather.
Most probably I will be going to Sas my current employer is transferring me there.
Below questions are in perspective to Canada.
Bringing Parents - What VISA for them to turn them to PR- Cost and time involved? In Australia, its rediculous, 50K per person. (Dollar value of Australia and Canada is almost same.)
If a child is born to PR holder, Will he/she automatically becomes Canadian Citizen?
(In Australia, yes, the kid will become citizen.)
Kids Education for PR holder? (Its quite cheap in Australia(150$/Month).)
Is it difficult to extend your PR after you have stayed for 2 years out of 5 as a PR ?
How much time does it need on PR to file for the Citizendship?
How much time does it take to become a citizen after filing for citizenship?
How is the healthcare in Canada? In Australia it's good.
What are the benefits in terms of working in US for a Canadian Citizen vs Australian Citizen? (Australian citizen can get E3 work visa easily if they get the Job in US.)
What will be the cost of Living(Rent) in Scarborough area for a couple? I don't have any kid as of now. Also, I am ready to share a house with someone already residing there.
Few things I noticed:-
Owning a car in Canada is alot more expensive than in Australia because of Insurance.
Not sure about Canada Real Estate prices in terms of buying a house, but in Australia(Melbourne), you get a house in 3,50,000$ in Suburbs which
take around 1.5-2 hrs of travel(public transport) to come to the city for work. Any comments on this ?
Public transport is quite good in Australia(150$/month - Melbourne), not sure about Scarborough. Can any one throw any light on this?
All the things/processes in Australia are very clear and streamlined. Mostly are computerised. Even for PR VISA you don't need any Stamp on Pp. I feel the things/Processes in Canada are quite messed up.
Any help in above queries will be highly appreciated and will help me to move.
Thanks
Silvi
