I'm starting the work for my PR in Australia. We love it here, plus the paths are short and straightforward: 2 years as 457 => PR through employer sponsorship, 1-2(?) years as PR => citizenship.
- vacri 13y agoAnother traditional route to Australian citizenship is via New Zealand. Get a kiwi citizenship first, which is easier than an Aus one. With an NZ passport, it's easier to get an Australian one. It's actually quite a serious problem for the kiwis, because they do the hard yards of bringing immigrants up-to-speed with the local culture (eg English language lessons), only to have them jump the ditch (Tasman sea) to Australia.
