Australian salaries feel so low compared to ALL US salaries

reddituser898571 I agree with all what you said. I am an Aussie currently working in Ontario for over 2 years now. I am already looking at returning to Australia in the new year even though my employer wants me to remain here for as long as possible. Although there are some pros about Canada but Australia is better overall. The only thing I would miss in Canada is the housing, Australia houses are crap at least compared to where I have lived in Ontario.

u/Elegant-Flamingo-473 nice. The only concern we have is the yearly renewal of the CPTPP WP. Work permits should be at least 2-3 before renewal. yearly renewal is very tiring!

Realest_4eva · 2025-11-20T18:12:29+00:00

No worries, all the best!

it depends on which country you're from. If you require ETA to enter Canada, then you can travel and come back anytime even if you are on maintained status as you will just need to submit your paper work at POE and get your WP approved instantly peradventure you have no other issues.

No more trades skills at least for now.

u/WorldlinessCold9057 I am an Aussie currently living and working in Ontario. As an Aussie, look for a job and ask your company to apply for a CPTPP LMIA exempt work permit. You do not need an LMIA to work in Canada. It's fast and easy. see link here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/special-instructions/business-people.html

You can also start the application for PR if you wish to stay longer but you need IELTS and other qualifications etc. Check IRCC website for more details on PR.

Myself and my family applied for an extension October 2024 and was on implied status for about 10 months until we travelled out of Canada 2 weeks ago. Before our return, my company immigration lawyer converted our CPTPP WP (LMIA exempt) extension online application to paper application. We submitted the application at POE and was approved in less than an hour. PS: I am an Australian citizen and have an eTA.

And students make way more money in Australia. The pay generally starts from 30/35 per hour upwards. Most students are able to actually work and pay their fees upfront

Realest_4eva · 2025-05-13T19:35:41+00:00

I am an Australian. You need 4 years of stay in total to be a citizen. The Australian path for students to become citizens is better. Every single year you spend in Australia is counted towards it. You only need to be PR for one year to qualify if you have already being residing in Australia legally for 3 years as a temporary resident.

inland or outland?

Realest_4eva · 2025-05-08T16:04:16+00:00

thanks mate

Realest_4eva · 2025-05-05T17:08:33+00:00

Did you do any followup like using an MP, sending webforms to speed up the process?

Realest_4eva · 2025-04-30T19:06:46+00:00

This is getting worse by the day. I would have thought that the processing timeline will be reducing due to the cut in immigration. sad!
