Living in Australia

you got to learn the aussie slang tho =P lol you have to pass the Australian citizenship test..you will need to study abit for that =] and as for the “cheapest city” I guess it would probably be Sydney in NSW..not quite sure on that one. =]

The Australian immigration system is one of the most complicated and stringent in the world. One of the easy ways in is to study there for two years in a good university, you will also need to be skilled in one of the most wanted skills in Australia, which includes doctors, nurses, chefs, and so on. If you have that, then you can apply for permanent residence which will allow you to stay there for as long as you like and work. If I remember correctly, it’ll take another two years for you to be able to apply for citizenship (when you have to go for the tests, etc).

Definitely check out the Immigration department’s website to see your options. You may be eligible for a few options or you may not be eligible for anything. From experience, it’s worth going to a registered migration agent (certified by the Migration Agents Registration Authority - MARA) and ask them for the options available to you. Sometimes their consultation fees are free, or some will charge a small fee. Their actual service in helping you in the paperwork to migrate will be quite costly but very worth the burden of stress, uncertainty, and confusion off you shoulders.

Here’s the website for Australia’s immigration department: http://www.immi.gov.au/

If the link doesn’t work for you, search “DIMIA” through Google, and it will be the first link.

Oh, and about which city’s the cheapest… it depends on a few factors - comfort, city/suburb, career options. Obviously different cities have different opportunities to offer you job-wise, so it can affect as to which state you want to live in. And generally, suburbs is always cheaper than around the city. As for comfort, if you like big city life, or a more quiet slow-paced life, it will affect where you would want to live too, because every state has something different and great to offer.
