What is the best country to live and work? Canada or Australia? and why? Which country easy to get Visa? How?
Hi. I'm Junnie presently working in United Arab Emirates as Event Planner, or a wedding stage designer for 4years. I'm originally from Philippines. Its my dream to live and work in Canada or Australia. Any one have knwledge, experience or idea which country is best to live and work and also which country is very easy, cheap and fast to get Visa? What kind of visa I need to take? And How o get this kind of Visa? Any suggestion is a big help to me. Thank you very much.
i totally agree with the first poster. canada is no place for you, it's cold and expensive. a terrible place. i suggest Dubai, or yeah even Australia. i hear europe has a shortage of wedding stage designers.

Canada sucks. It's cold, expensive, dirty and stupid. Old sick people everywhere because of the aging population. Guess what, they're not getting younger. For you I recommend either the UAR or Australia for sure. Stay the h11 from Canada. Also, Philippines would probably be best if u have a chance to go there.

Australia has much better weather but I'm afraid that your skills as a wedding/event planner or designer are not listed on any of our required occupations lists so you would not be able to get an Australian immigration visa.
Following is the list on which your occupation must be for you to have any chance of getting a visa:

Wedding Stage Designer and Event Planner – this is not a skill that is in demand in either country – therefore I seriously doubt you will be eligible to immigrate as a skilled worker.
Neither country is very easy, cheap or fast to get Visa!!!!
Australia is very strict and Canada can take a long time from Asia – 5 to 6 years is quite normal.

I have lived/travelled to 68 countries. Canada & Australia are certainly 2 of the best countries to visit or live in. Canada is always ranked the #1 country to live in by the UN. Vancouver is ranked as one of the top 3 cities in the world.
Canada’s west coast is not cold, and it doesn’t even really snow in Vancouver or Victoria. The winter temp doesn’t drop below freezing (okay, cold if you are from the middle east, but not cold by Northern Countries Standards). The middle of the country is cold in winter and really hot in summer. Toronto has 2 cold months in the winter with a bit of snow. Montreal & Ottawa have winter and are cold in winter. In summer, all these cities are 30+ celcius.
Australia is great too. Very nice warm weather all the time, great people, nice place to live also. Melbourne is great to live in and work.
Funny thing, a LOT of Australians move to the west coast of Canada! So many, that sometimes you wonder what country you are in (in Whistler BC, there are more Australians than Canadians!).
Neither country is cheap, but they have very high qualities of life.

i get the feeling that australia is more racist, but they do have much better weather. canada is easier to get residency in. i have known people who spoke little english at all but have gotten permanent residency.

#7 has obviously never visited Australia, we are one of the most un-racist countries in the world, the fact that we are so multicultural makes this the case… people just think we are because of what happened back in the 1700s.. BLAME THE BRITISH FOR THAT we have moved along way since then, Do you think all Germans hate jews? i would hope not. I cant stand people that just assume and stereotype a race or country.

I have lived in canada my whole life and have traveled all over Aisa, Australia, the US and more. I think that Canada and Australia are the best counties in the world and I doubt that #1 has ever been to Canada with a ridiculous ignorant statement like that. Canada is cold and some people like that. If you dont like the cold dont move here but not all parts are cold and not all parts are expensive. It is a pretty big place to be so generic. There is not old sick people everywhere and there are a lot of places that are entirely young people. #1 sounds like a bitter person who probably couldnt get a visa and is now mad. Australia and Canada are both great places with great people and if you want to decide i would pick by the climate. I would ask #1 where he/she is from and then NEVER go there.
