Subject: Australia or Canada - What will you prefer
  I am studying these 2 options, I know this forum is for Canada & most of you guys have already applied like me

But just want to consider second option, Canada is a great country but has the worst weather in the world , Australia is mostly sunny especially liked by asian immigrants

how about the economy and cost of living say Toronto/Vancouver and sydney/melbourne

any experiences ? and given 2 ready options what will u pick AU or CA

Though never been in Australia, but I would prefer Australia over Canada.

No where in the world you would get perfect weather, that may not be a very big deal, thoough Aus. weather no doubt far better than Canada.

Real point is as you say, job. To get a professional level job in Canada can be a darkest nightmare beyond any imagination. On the other hand based on my freind/ relatives experience in Aus. it is much more easier.

Depending on your situation, Canada can be an excellent launching pad for USA (as I had to do beacsue of no career there).

If you think that Canada has the worst weather in the world ... I would say that you HAVE NOT TRAVELLED enough around the world. Think carefully.

Also since when cold weather is bad ? Have you ever lived in a hot and humid country ? Better be cold than hot believe me.

Shah is correct. No place in the world has a perfect weather.

I stayed in Aus - Sydney for 4 years and I had Aus PR still I prefered to apply for Canadian PR .. Got thru it and I am Canadian PR... I am currently in USA and looking forward to move there in 2009. Aus is cool country, no rush, less work pressure, cost of living is high, job is a problem there as well, less competetive salary.. Racism is a big felt over there.. I stayed couple of days in Canada ..and didn´t feel much difference in weather compare to Chicgao.. The only positive part I considered Canada over Aus is USA opprtunity .. I would be always better off being in Canada... My experience - I don´t see Job is a problem there in Canada.. I was tasting the water and could able to manage 3 jobs in 4 weeks time.. Finally I didn´t join as I have a plan to move there in 2009.. May be I am in IT...

I have lived in Australia for 15 years its a great place to live & the weather is great. Apart from this I dont find Australia to be a country of dreams. Expensive, transport a mess and housing is a joke. Canada is my choice anyday and I hope to move there soon. Not really bothered about the weather when my priority is my career and a good life for my wife and children. With the USA next door Versus living in a far away remote place called Australia. Naah!

I would choose Canada over Australia, although both are similar in their social systems. With global warming becoming a crisis, I wouldn´t want to live in a constant drought-ridden country (Australia). Canada has the most fresh water in the world with cool climate. Want to bake in Australia? Be my guest. People thare are already are heavily rationed for such things everyday things as bathing, car washing, etc.

Canada has gorgeous mountains, lakes, and forests. Australia is one flat desert. No thanks. Just my thoughts.

Richard you don´t have a clue about Australia and its clear from your views that "Australia is one flat desert!"

Only central Australia is desert! And there are beautiful mountains, lush rain forrest, tropical climates, stunning beaches, coral reefs. You can choose the climate that suits your own personal prefrence. Not like Canada! You can choose bitter cold or rain! In Australia if you like tropical climates you live in Northern Australia. If you like Medetrainian climate you live in areas like Sydney, Perth, Adelaid. And if you like cool climate then you choose Melbourne or Tasmania! So of you call a climate were winters days are sunny and 20C and summers are no hotter then what you get in Canada then your crazy!

How do I know! Im aussie born and raised!
