Many
times, the immigrants leave their country
looking for safe cities, because the
internal security situation in their origin
countries is not the most adequate one and
australia is considered a safe place due to
the low crime indexes it holds, which gives
it a special appealing in front of other
countries when choosing a country to migrate
to.
another reason that makes australia
appealing, as a final destination for an
immigrant, is its good life standards,
produced by the strength of its economy,
which is among the strongest in the world
and where there is no such thing as extreme
poverty (this is affirmed by all of the
world’s economic institutions), due to,
basically, the subsidies programs provided
by the australian government.

This is
why it is necessary to mention that in the
last few years, among the top ten countries
of the world to live in, you can find
australia, this has been stated by The
Economist, on a survey performed in the year
2007, which awards australia with the
seventh place; this was also said by the
ONU, which considered australia in the
second place in the year 2006.
australia is internationally acknowledged
for the exceptional educational level they
have got, which favors young student
immigrants to move, in order to be able to
study in the australian university; entire
families to be attracted looking for a
better education for their children; and
workers who are looking forward to work and
study at the same time, in order to be able
to obtained better working positions.
australia, been a continent country, has
many natural attractions, such as beaches,
deserts and on its condition of a first
world country, great metropolises such as
Sidney, Melbourne, brisbane and Perth.
The weather also plays an important role
when choosing a place to migrate to,
because, unlike the rough climatologic
conditions in canada and in certain zones in
the United States of america, in australia,
due to its location in the south hemisphere,
it has variable climates (hot, tropical,
rains); whether in the north, there are
summer rains, in the south, the rains are
during the winter, which means that you can
migrate to australia in any
season.
Its condition of a nation of immigrants
since its origins, has transformed the
australian society in a society who rejects
the racial discriminations and in which a
non discriminatory immigration policy is
applied, accepting everyone who requests a
visa for humanitarian of familiar motives.
but not everything is beautiful when you
pretend to migrate to australia, it is said
that the objective of the australian
government is that, with its immigration
program, they will be able to cover the
human resources necessities they have, so
they can handle the worst jobs, the ones
that the australian citizens do not wish to
do, offering better salaries that the ones
they could even get in their country of
origin.
another disadvantage is that australia is
one of the few countries in the world with a
high rate of graduated professionals and
professionals with master degrees and PhD’s,
which makes it really tough for immigrant
workers to be able to compete while looking
for a job.
a disadvantage is also the fact that
australia is really near asia, which
provides better opportunities to asian
workers, rather than to immigrants of other
latitudes.
Obtaining a visa does not guarantee
obtaining a job in australia, because the
policy of the australian government is to
guide the immigrant so he or she can find a
job.
Likewise, even when it sounds unbelievable,
the racism is real in australia, there are
even computer programs which invite you to
“kick immigrants”., because they accuse them
to be taking their job opportunities away
from them.
The geographic location of australia becomes
an issue when the immigrant wishes to return
to his or her country of origin, because of
the time required (from 24 to 30 hours) to
go over long distances, which, without a
doubt, considerably increases the cost of
plane tickets.
For the same reason, the telephonic
communication between australia and the
country of origin of the immigrant is not
easy, due to the different time zones there
are (Eastern Time, Central Time, Western
Time) in the diverse regions of the
australian territory, which are the
equivalent to a difference of more than 10
hour with any time zone of any European or
Latin – american country; and, at the same
time, between those time zones, there are
differences, because the Eastern Time is
ahead from the Central Time for two hours
and two hours later, you can find the
Western Time.
Summing up, the condition of a first class
country with a really high life quality and
an outstanding educational level, among
other qualities, make of australia the
future destinations for those immigrants who
are not willing to starve, but to progress
in a warm environment which makes them
remember about their countries of origin.
