Life in Australia or Canada for immigrants as well as international students is already hard but you can make the process by learning what you should not be doing as an international student or immigrant living abroad.
I moved to Australia from India as an international student and then later on Australia to Canada as a permanent resident and in those 6 years of living abroad as a student, (alone) I made a lot of mistakes that were good as well as bad for me. I learnt so much from them so I thought I should share some of my worst mistakes living in Australia and Canada so you get to learn abou them and prepare yourself in a better way for your life abroad.
Whether you are living in Australia or studying in Canada or preparing to move as a permanent resident, you should watch this vlog to know how life is and what big mistakes all new immigrants make and what I wished I knew before moving to Canada.

Glad i found your channel❤

Nice video ..🎉
Thanks 🙏
Yes. It is agreed a lot of skills job requires PR or citizen status. If you take casual job in your graduate visa, it is very hard to get skills point / assessment to apply permanent residency.
I hardly doubt you could have gotten Aus pr even if you move to regional area. I was there same time as you. The immigration policy was as unpredictable as the weather. When i left Brisbane only 4 occupations were on the skilled list. Of all my friends, only one got pR, the rest had to go through the marriage route. You need to appreciate Canada and look back to what your life would be as a temporary resident in Australia. Though i heard its much easier for Pr now. Focus on the real food Canada has given you rather than the cherished crumbs you had in Australia. Peace of mind in invaluable. Honestly, it wasn't easy at first here in Canada for me but it has gotten much better for me in my career and finances. Australia has changed at the moment. My friend pays $350 per week for a room in Perth. So its not all rosy there now. Take care and wish you the best.
Couldn't agree with u more. Thanks for sharing ❤
I am so glad 🥰
so things are better in Canada,??
Thank you
You're welcome
Akanksha, one your best vlogs. Good advice for everybody even for people who are quite seasoned.
My two small advices. The money you can spare dump it into a moderate risk equity fund and forget it for the next 20 years. I did it and is helping me a lot. Actually it turned into a gold mine. The risks will even out during the long period of investment.
2nd advice, take a one week vacation to Florida, Mexico or Caribbeans during winter. This will relax you quite a bit and energize you for rest of the season. I do it most of the winters. Even the thought of going somewhere relaxes you. This is a good medicine for SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
Wish you all the luck in pursuit of Australian PR.
Thank you so much, means a lot coming from you.
And thanks for the advices too, I will consider the medium risk investments too :)
Still new to it.
I live in Toronto Canada and completely agree with the point about immigrants needing to make an effort to learn the way of living, trends, and culture, mindset etc of the new place they’re moving to! I see so many newcomers here who don’t do this at all and it does feel disrespectful for sure. If you move to a new place it’s important to try to respect the place and integrate into the community harmoniously
Thanks. I also agree that new immigrants in Canada do not want to blend in and integrate in the Canadian culture. It’s saddening and annoying at the same time.
Thank you for your useful sharing! 😇Why do you recommend to move to regional area? Because I see the jobs are also few on the occupational list, not all graduated students can find the related job 😂 Thank you very much.
Okay
I am here in Australia , i totally reckon the points you have mentioned , but unfortunately students are crazy currently for Australia , without thinking much .
Nice Video btw , and Best of luck
Thanks 🙏
Glad you liked it
@@Whatsnextakanksha i saw you are in canada now from videos. Best wishes 👍🏻
You deserve 1M subscribers. God bless you.
Thanks 🙏
Hi mam! Above video is very informative.
I have a question. As per recent scenario which regional area will be better for an international student, Perth or Adelaide?
I have not been to either of those places so cannot say but I have heard that Perth is going pretty good.
@@Whatsnextakanksha thank you mam for the reply. I am also planning for these regional cities over metropolitan cities.
@@sattajitroy4413 that’s a good move. PR is definitely easier in regional. Also I suggest check the PR pathway of both states - Western Australia and South Australia. You’ll get a better view on which is easier.
@@Whatsnextakanksha yes mam definitely I will check. Thanks for the advice also 😍
Thanks for responding I wanted to find out if your visa for Canada was granted to you from Australia as am also a foreigner planning to move to Canada from another country
I received the grant when I was on vacation in India and submitted my passport there for stamping. But my whole process happened in Australia
Ma’am plz help me out I am a fresher student from India pursuing commerce and like to communicate with people which will be the best course for me to do and to find the job
This was so insightful , i am also trying for macquaire University for a dual masters degree programme provided by one indian public University.. any advise as you have studied there ?also the course is international relations
We just submitted our EOI for Australia yesterday
Lets hope for the best 😊 fingers crossed 🤞
My husband ( civil engineer) and i( software engineer) , both are working and have 7 to 8 years of work exp.
We have 85 points
All the best!
Hi ! Your videos are very informative ❤️ but i had few questions would you please help me with the same
1- I'm a commerce graduate and confused about the course i should opt in Finance or accounting related field to pursue in Australia , can you guide me on this please.
2- What is the minimum lump-sum budget i should be keeping in mind including cost of living and studies before moving to Australia?
I would be very grateful if would guide me on the above❤
Hi akansha, are you applying for Australian PR again? If yes are applying through any immigration lawyer or agency? If yes can you share the contact please or I can contact you personally?
Hi. I will be pursuing it but I am not taking any help from any agent. I am doing my own research of the process
What are the best courses in Australia for a student after intermediate plzzz tel me
I don’t really know because I am not an education consultant. This is question for them or just do a quick google search
Do you plan to give your Australian PR application another shot?
Eventually yes. No plans to move anytime soon
@@Whatsnextakanksha Australia is going through similar problems as Canada: high rent and inflation.
Hi mam
Hey,I am planning to come to Canada for hospitality and tourism management..can u tell me if it is worth? Also I have a option of Australia but I am not sure ? ..ah ye I will coming on a student visa
Canada is easier to get PR than Australia but Australia pays more so weigh out the pros and cons
Come to Canada
Hello,
Sorry to say that if you will not disclose the name of the company or the guys to whom you knew personally.
We don't know, how many file he/she will screwed after yours
So, don't take it personally
Atleast disclose the name so that rest of the people be aware that fraudulent activities.
Thanks
Hi! They were not doing any fraudulent activities. They just were inexperienced at that time. I am not sure about now but l don’t want to ruin someone’s business. It was my mistake to trust on someone so new.
which country is better to get pr nowadays
Easier to get PR is Canada but better to live is Australia
@@Whatsnextakanksha
Which has better opportunities for tech /software engineers in your opinion?
@@Whatsnextakankshawhat is the use of living in Aus if they don’t give your PR
Hello thanks for the information did you move directly from Australia ti canada or you went back to india furst
Yeah directly from Australia to Canada. I stopped over in India to meet family for a month.
Hello,
1. How is the scope and availability of AI related job opportunities after a Master's degree in Australia?
2. Which cities in Australia have the most tech/AI job opportunities apart from Sydney and Melbourne?
I am not sure about no. 1. But apart from Sydney Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are up and coming
Australia does not have a large tech/ AI industry.
@@MaeTindac Are you in Tech/AI and how long have you been living in Australia?
@@Bwajster I was born in Australia.
im studying Cybersecurity lmao, it means my Pr sucks?
Hahaha noooo! Mine was a different case. Wish you all the best
You're beautiful ❤
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ from Pakistan 🙂. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂😊.
Thank you so much ☺️
You say out real things that are sometimes bitter ...., but you should not have left Australia :/
Real things sound like that but are important to share. :)
#6 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you were literally called Toronto as hell in one of your earlier video and see now?
Haha still have similar feelings 😂
@@Whatsnextakanksha lol you will never get pr in Australia until you change your thinking pattern. Lol , what you give will receive you. Even words are the same. If you spread bad things, you will receive the same
@@Anjali-pn9lh that is very true but I don’t like to sugarcoat things and say I like something when I don’t. There are things in life every person likes and dislikes. I just say it as it is. This channel is about honest opinions that includes good and bad opinions. :)
OMG ur so damn 🔥🔥🔥and so beautiful 🎉
Thank you so much xx
If you had not moved to Canada from Australia, what do think would have happened to you in Australia. You would have been deported to India and selling PANI PURI on the streets of New Delhi. So, stop spreading false information about Canada. BE GRATEFUL to Canada.
I can do whatever I want and wherever I want. Selling pani puri or working in corporate, both are jobs that require hard work and deserve equal respect. Be kind.
@@Whatsnextakanksha You are being able to just show up and be flashy on CZcams because of Canada. You are even able to return to Australia because of Canada. So, just be thankful to Canada.
@@Smart_Tamaha I am thankful for everything I have. But what’s wrong with pointing out issues? The truth is harsh but you got to speak it out.
Also I didn’t even bash Canada over here 😂
And secondly, how am I being flashy on CZcams (your sense of flashy is weird lol)
Thirdly, I am on CZcams because of myself and my audience, what’s Canada got to do with it? Does this country give access to putting up content on CZcams.
Don’t say things just for the sake of saying.
@@Whatsnextakanksha Every country is different. On the matter of weather, Yes, Australia has better weather. Apart from that, Australia has high cost of living. Canada has a better healthcare system. You can see a specialist in a week or less in Canada. How long would it take to see a specialist in Australia. Once you are a Canadian citizen you can work in the USA as well.
The other thing is, when was the last time you have seen dangerous reptiles like snakes in your backyard and spiders on your house walls in Canada. This could be the reason why a lot of British professionals have fled, and are planning to flee back to UK from Australia. LOL
@@Smart_Tamaha again, don’t comment just for the sake of it. Lol
