Top 3 Reasons to Emigrate to Australia

Aug. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- The country has beautiful weather year round, thousands of job opportunities for foreigners, great food, lots of outdoor activities to do and friendly and charming locals. Here are the top 3 reasons to emigrate to Australia.

1. Diverse Population:
Regardless of your cultural identity if you emigrate to Australia you will be accepted. Australians pride themselves on living in harmony with those of different ethnic backgrounds and cultural differences. Over 200 languages are actually spoken on the continent, including several dozen indigenous languages. Religious intolerance is also not a concern with Christians, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and Anglicans all able to openly practice their faiths.
Because English is spoken by most, there are few language barriers to deal with if you emigrate to Australia. The friendly nature and laid back lifestyle found in Australia leaves many immigrants surprised at how less stressful their lives have become and how they are actually able to leave work and go home to enjoy their families.

2. The Land and Weather:
Only when you emigrate to Australia do you get the chance to live on an island continent with a warm sunny climate. Even in winter, the weather is mainly mild. Australia has over 7000 beautiful white sands beaches with crystal clear waters to enjoy. So it's no surprise that water sports such as surfing and swimming are so popular. For those into outdoor activities, soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis and horse racing are just a few popular sports to enjoy.

3. Familiar Standard of Living:
Those visiting Australia from Canada, the United States, United Kingdom and other western countries will find similar living standards exist in Australia. The water is safe to drink and food and medication supplies are plentiful. Australia has an advanced health care system with modern equipment and highly skilled doctors, nurses and other health care professionals. Those who emigrate to Australia will also find the housing standards are more than sufficient with houses, condos and apartments available to rent.

For those wondering if they should emigrate to Australia, the country has a stable economy and has a lower cost of living than many Western countries. The cost of buying a home is also lower in Australia, with homes in rural areas costing less than those in urban areas. Australia has an internationally recognized educational system and student visas are available for those exploring vocational, bachelor and advanced degrees in the country.

Australia also has a large need for skilled workers, and targets potential workers from Ireland, the United Kingdom and other countries to emigrate to Australia. To become eligible for migration workers must go through the General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program. The GSM issues several categories of visas to skilled workers who are able to meet health and character requirements as well as pass a point based test. Though skilled workers are needed in many professions, tradespersons are among the most highly sought after.
