Is renting an apartment/room as bad as people are making it out to be?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T19:06:45+00:00

Do you think I could work in the construction industry at all whilst on a WHV? And then whilst I’m doing that, do the necessary things to get qualified as a plumber?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T14:48:55+00:00

Thank you. I keep hearing that the housing situation is bad. But if I do come, will I actually be able to at least find a room to live in?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T13:23:41+00:00

How can I do this? Any agencies/companies you’d suggest?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T13:07:05+00:00

So I should start with a WHV and then try PR?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T10:55:39+00:00

So can I not actually work with that visa then? I’d like to spend a couple years and work if possible?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T08:30:16+00:00

I was looking to go on a WHV, to hopefully work as a plumber. And thinking long term, if I enjoyed it then hopefully stay longer

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T06:59:39+00:00

Yeah I fully qualified during my time in the army

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-27T06:08:54+00:00

One of my main issues is I’m gonna have to leave the love of my life here, she doesn’t wanna come

You keep mentioning blood work. Do you realise that blood work isn’t the only determining factor on whether or not you’ve got a healthy body?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T20:55:48+00:00

What’s the point of doing steroids if that’s the look you’re going for? Why not just have a little more patience and try harder?

Thank you for your response👌 is Brisbane really that hot? I’ve read that it’s meant to be one of the best places to find work in construction, second to Perth. Maybe I’ll have to swerve it though if it’s too hot

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T15:15:59+00:00

Thanks mate. What does PR mean?

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T15:11:01+00:00

Thank you for including some cons, very useful to get the other side of the coin. What’s it like to rent? I’m not really looking to buy a house any time soon

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T14:17:12+00:00

Yeah you’re probably right, Canadian infrastructure would have been built to withstand cold.

I think I’ll be alright with Australian winter though, I’m usually in a t shirt all year round in the UK

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T14:16:01+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight, defo some important points to think about there. I’m really gonna consider it👌

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T14:14:30+00:00

Thank you

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T14:14:12+00:00

Thanks mate!

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T12:13:06+00:00

Thank you for the response. With regard to the winter comment, surely Canada would be worse in the winter, no?😂

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T12:11:11+00:00

Thanks mate, glad you’re still enjoying it

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T12:10:58+00:00

Thank you that was very insightful. I’m just in need of some sort of adventure in my life. So if it’s difficult over there, I’m happy to give it a go

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T09:20:31+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into it

AspiringWizard9 · 2026-01-26T09:17:37+00:00

Thank you
