澳洲与加拿大-比较篇--不喜勿进

kevin2005

比较啥啊，穷人还考虑什么找工作啊，晚上出门是否安全啊，有钱人又不用考虑这些。别的都可以花钱买，只有气候这个东西多少钱都买不来。

所以LZ这样的有钱人还是来澳洲好，直接到海边富人区整个豪宅就完了。

我和LZ相似，不同一点我两边都是PR 。以前办移民的时候澳洲只是备选方案，如果加拿大最后拿不下来还可以去 ...

看了不少对比贴，这篇写得比较实在。

又翻出来了，现在在澳洲，感觉物价没有想象的高，房价还好，前一阵子跌了。

完全个人意见：
对我来说，澳洲秒杀加拿大，只有一个因素---天气。加拿大适合已经适应了冬天恶劣天气的人去生活，对我来说我不适应加拿大冬天的寒冷。

温哥华的房价真的很高，租房楼上所说的1000-1200两室极少，我现在住的ubc里面的房子两室是2500一个月。这边物价较高，但光吃倒是花不了很多，毕竟吃的东西大部分是免税的。但这边的天气我真心不喜欢，太冷了冬天（我是南方人），而且据说edmonton那边更冷。我只能说加拿大不适合我

I live in Australia and moving to Canada now, so I can share these points very well (I think).

Canada:
1) Cheaper to live
2) More opportunities and more interesting things to do in Canada and also near USA
3) North America in general is a better place for Business Owners especially
4) Cheaper schools
5) Much cheaper food & electronics, clothing..etc
6) Housing price (Vancouver) is more or less same as Sydney (Australia); but Toronto & Montreal are much cheaper than Australia
7) Rental in generally is much cheaper in Canada (around 20% to 30% less)
Cool Cars are much cheaper in North America

But the weather is a factor, Canada has longer winter time, although. hardly snow in Vancouver. Australia is freaking hot every year, summers can be as long as 6 months, and it is really hot, this has added to huge costs for utilities.

Australia
1) Job market "seems" to be better than North America now, but it can be a misperception, a lot of jobs do not even exist in Australia especially those relating to IT, Multimedia, Hi-Tech industries. For instance, if you are in network or telecommunications or semiconductors, then it will be hard to find job in Australia, so make sure your skills are relevant to Australiane economy.
2) Cost of living in Australia is a joke, it has been rising every year and is now catching up to Europe. Food is especially expensive here because of fewer competition, high petrol price.
3) Racism is not really an issue in Australia or Canada, back in 1980s and 1990s, it was a big problem. Although, I do not find Australians as "open-minded" as Canadians in terms of accepting other cultures in some rural areas and cities. Generally, it is OK.
4) Not a great place to be a business owner, but a better place to be an "Employee"
5) Do not be fooled that people are laid-back in Australia, living cost is high, so many people have 2 jobs or double-income families; you have to work hard either in Canada or Australia.
6) Utilities bills have skyrocketed over the past few years unfortunately.
7) Very far away from the rest of the world and not many cities to visit in Australia, travel & accomodation costs are very expensive compared to North America. It is close to Asia though if you like to visit Asia regularly (min. 7 hours flight).

I have lived here for over 20 years; the living cost is what has driven many people leaving for overseas, that said, Australia is growing, but at a cost of many benefits; family benefits are not as good as before, fundamentally, it is a small country (population wise), and this means higher cost of living.

Rental cost is very high here, it is normal to see rental A$500/week just for a 2-bedroom apartment in some not-so-good areas.

Interest rate here is also about 3 to 4% higher than Canada, and housing is actually more expensive.

Visit both countries first, go to realestate.com.au to get an idea for property market in Australia.

Both are great countries; I am more in favor of Canada as I like colder weather; and most of my businesses are outside Australia anyway.
