Australia's immigration policies appears to be lot more open than America's. As long as you have certifiable skills, and have stayed here the mandatory amount of time, you are almost guaranteed a permanent residency, after which point you are almost guaranteed a citizenship.

- Swannie 12y agoI believe the gp is referring to the conversion of a 457 (temporary residence, sponsored by employee, much like a H1B), to PR. This can be requested at any time. Prior to approx. 2010 (IIRC), this was a pretty standard way for people to gain PR. Rules changed in 2010 to make this route more complex/involved. EDIT: Re-read of the gp, and you may be correct.
- sumedh 12y ago> and you may be correct. I know I am correct because I have Australian PR :) I went to Aus after I got the PR.
