How much should I save up to emigrate to Australia?


How much should I save up to emigrate to Australia?
I'm an American currently living in South Korea. The reason I left the U.S. was because I was not content with the way things are going there. After muck consideration, I've decided that Australia would be a better place to spend the rest of my life. So I'd like to know how much money I should save up to make the plan a reality. You can quote it in either American or Australian dollars.

Immigrating to Australia is not just measured in dollars. Before you pay for your permanent visa, you will need to 'collect points' as the Australian migration system works with a point system. I hope you realize that entering into Australia is getting increasingly difficult each year. It really depends on your profession and whether this profession is in need of support from foreign employees. Additionally, your age, work experience and competency of the English language (shouldn't be a problem in your case) will play a part. The best thing I can do for you is advice you to check with the Australian immigration website, which contains a lot of useful information and a self-evaluation test (to check if you have enough points needed for permanent residency). www.immi.gov.au All the best and I hope you will be able to fulfill your dreams. ;-)

I'm here and it was relatively easy to come because I was sponsored by my current employer. A little research into the type of employment you might want would be a good idea. Also, Western Australia has a huge teacher shortage right now. If you like to teach (and are qualified of course), that might be one way to get here. By the way, I like the "muck consideration"....intentional or not, very funny. And I'm going home when I've completed my employment here. I miss the ole' red,white, and blue even with all the problems. Good luck.

the answers above me might be helpful if you are considering transferring your skills to australia. failing the point system or the general skill migration or the employer sponsorship (consider your age as well), and if you already have some savings, do check out investment migration, or business migration as they call it. visit the website www.immi.gov.au.

Should I study in Australia or stay in Canada?

Should I study in Australia or stay in Canada?
I have completed a college program from which I want to transfer some credits towards a degree. Currently I live in Canada, one of my options is to get a degree at UOIT in 2.5 years, or any other one in Canada will take 3 years. I am also considering studying at Griffith in Australia, which will take me 1.5 years but will cost $45,000. Which is a LOT of money. Can someone please help me make my decision?

Where do you want to work? I don't know specifics, but a degree in one country doesn't always tranfer to another country ("Oh, how nice, you have an Aussie degree. Too bad it doens't count here," kind of thing); usually you would want to complete your degree in the country you plan to work/live in. But like I said, I don't know -- look into it. If you could work in Canada with the Aussie degree (or plan to live in Australia) it could be a worthwhile idea, but if you can't, then it's better to stay in Canada.

I don't know about in Australia but I know where I live in Canada a lot of 15 year olds have jobs, and it doesn't have to be a fast food restaurant. When I was 15 I worked at a clothes store and an ice plant.
2 :
what about working in a mall?
3 :
$50 a week wow you're spoiled sorry to tell you this but if you want to make money you're gonna have to earn it and the only jobs for 15 year olds are usually at places like McDonald's so grow up and learn to work for your money

Fashion shop?

50 a week? You lucky B.astard! Mow lawns, pressure wash driveways, clean cars and mailboxes, just ask your neighbors if there's anything they need done.

WOW 50 bucks a week?? lol go find a job - im sure someone will hire you at a better company than mcdonalds. if not, then do yard work and whatnot. best of luck!

Well, as i'm a Singaporean, we have few options of getting part time job. You an always become a sales girl like working in The Body Shop or any stores or boutique. Not only willl you get paid but you get the staffs discount for you to enjoy like getting your cosmetics or clothes at staff rates. So if you wanna work, find a place where you get benefits as well.
9 :
babysitting is always an option or in a retail shop. woolworths is nearly always looking for junior members of staff

How about a diffrent take on all of this. Why don't you make your job learning how ro budget the $50 per week that you get. That's an insane ammount of money to be giving a 15 year old unless you are doing LOTS around the house. My 10 year old does dishes, laundry and helps out with whatever else comes our way and doesn't get that much. I'll admit that she's somewhat spoiled materially, but knows the value of a dollar and the value of pitching in as a family.

IDK about illegal but that's just plain wrong! what in the world? i'd quit that job because you're getting ripped off.

This is absolutely illegal. You need to contact your labour relations dept (think this is the right link) for more info and help http://www.deewr.gov.au/Department/Pages/Contactus.aspx
