very new on this channel loving all the vids. myself and my partner are currently working on making the move down under alot of stress that is for sure😅🤣
Good luck in trying to find a house to rent in Australia, there's a huge housing shortage in all capital cities. That's the big stress here. There's a lot of people couch surfing or living in their cars.
Waiting all that time for a measly 6:40, really!! I know you have established a theme of advising potential emigrants X U.K., but might I suggest that you extend that into "showing" why, not just chatting and trying to embarrass " the maybe's " or the "one days", and annoy the living sh*t out of them by showing them the reality that is this wonderful area of Australia. More, sir, may I have more!! Time that is.
As a dual citizen UK/Australian who has lived and worked in both countries on and off for 35 years one of the trickiest timing issues is GBP/$AUD exchange rates. Over my time I have seen the rate vary from 1.50 $ to the pound to $2.60 to the pound. Partly because $AUD is a very heavily traded, resource based currency. It is only a decade or so ago when it was worth more than the US $. This can make a huge difference if you are looking for the sale of a UK house to finance an Australian one. I cannot speculate on what will happen except to say UK economy is not looking crash hot now. Some people say lease your house in the UK. Certainly a strategy but as I know as I have assets in both countries once you become tax resident in Australia, the Australian Tax Office taxes you on income generated anywhere in the world. There is no such ting as a "non dom" in Australia. It might be OK if you claim a mortgage as a deduction. I wish I had used UK accountants who knew about Australian tax rules. You do not want to fall foul of the ATO when applying for visa extensions etc. Thanks for the channel.
Been thinking of doing this for a few years. My wife is half Australian so should be able to get an ancestral passport and I should be able to go on the back of that with a spousal visa. We have a one year old and are super stressed here all th time. We both have good jobs and good family and friends but feel we should just go and experience it. We have a house and mortgage would you just sell up and go or keep the house and see how we get on. We've been to Aus 6 times between us and love it.
Just spent a week in Brisbane for interview etc. Waiting on outcome and exploring avenues for how to get wife into Australia. I am a NZer and can come over easy as.
Really good posts, I can see from a comment below that Ben works in Construction - I myself am a site manager working in the UK. I'm looking to go into construction management in Australia . Where we require SMSTS / Black CSCS cards for the UK is there an equivalent in Australia that you have to get before coming over? Any helps appreciated ! Thank you.
Not quite everybody, but if they follow New Zealand's intimation that next year they will be 'seeking out' the unvaccinated and giving them the 'opportunity' to be vaccinated . . .until the whole country is vaccinated, then it soon will be everybody. If you need everybody medicated to be a part of a society then, by definition, it is a very sick society.
gee if i lived in the uk and living in those buildings they call houses i'd be more than stressed those houses if you can call them that look like battery hen coops, 10 people or so in 2 little buildings. front yard is 3mts wide ffs sake why do they call that housing. nope australia would be like paradise to the poms.
Nurses are in high demand across Canada; for this reason, there are a number of Canadian immigration pathways for nurses to choose from. As a nurse, you may be qualified to come to Canada as a skilled worker though one of the many economic immigration programs at both the federal and provincial level.
I would think twice, unless you are up for an increasingly totalitarian government and ever more restrictive 'freedoms'. And let's not get into Australia (and New Zealand) being front-runners for every decision the WHO makes. Medical autonomy is being eaten away. But, lots of folks are good with that so, if you are also, everything else makes Australia a wonderful place.
Just Don’t. sincere advice from my heart. The Worst medicare system , public transportation and all other infrastructures. It is still a developing country. You need to work hard for the government and its citizens by paying a lot of tax while your wealth still stay same and all prices skyrocketing. I would consider Vietnam instead.

Couldn’t agree more 👍🏼
I lived in Oz for a couple of years in the late 80’s. If I was not too old (63) I would do it tomorrow.
Oz is VERY different to the 80's, unfortunately.
@@jamesart9 I would still move back.

This is Australia. People live under falling shelters. So old but cost millions.
And house prices through the roof.
lol your freestyle rap reminded me of that INXS song Mediate
Love watching your posts ,
Aww thank you 🥰
I had to Google who Riley was, but it sounds good! Can't wait to get there one day. Come on visa!
Went to QLD this spring. Port Douglas
Recently received my 190 grant. Will probably move to Sydney in April/May of this year.
Don't forget, you get to choose some really cool sunglasses too!
Very nice accessory!!
After living 4 years in the UK, I think it's time to come home to Australia
i would think after living in the uk for 4 days you couldn't get on a plane quick enough to get out.
Yesssss, my husband needs that kick up the bum to get him motivated to leave the UK lol
Haha consider it done! 🥾🤣

Vancouver weather is mild . Summer and spring is beautiful weather. USA branded shops 35 km away from Vancouver.

Just make sure you have somewhere to live before you come as there's a big housing shortage especially in the rental market.
Everybody is different, some choose to keep their house and see how they go, whereas others go all in and sell everything. We chose to go all in x
Sell and go.
Hope you decide to come on over I’m sure you’d love the laid back lifestyle we all enjoy 🇦🇺
@@omaopa6923 Wrong to say we all enjoy a laid back lifestyle. That’s the image portrayed but it’s obviously dependent on a lot of factors.
So, in Victoria, we desperately need Police, Nurses/Medical/Surgical Personnel/

I like Sydney
Walking around with no shoes on - obviously hasn't come across bindis & bull ants.

Whats the rental market like in Australia? I ask because I won't be able to buy a home I would have to rent to begin with.
There is a housing crisis and it’s difficult to find somewhere to rent and house prices are very high. Be warned.
Hi , I wanted to ask in Australia is there mosquitoes? NOBODY is talking about it.
Mozzies are big enough to carry you away, flies are the same.
Sure are.
Pretty much everywhere, it is wet.
And houseflies, always in Summer.
And along the east coast you will also have Ticks and sand flies.
Yes, aeroguard is your friend.
over 256,000 new apprentices are needed over the next 5 years to meet demand in Canada. Top in-demand skilled trades expected from 2022 to 2026:.

I am Timorese & working in Uganda. I want to move my family specially my kids to study in Australia. what should I have to get there, please? Thanks
Excuse my aren’t you doing bloopers at the end of vids anymore

Love the videos guys!!! Can I ask, I know Ben works in construction
What’s the hours like for Ben including commute time
My husbands an electrician ❤
He leaves at 5.45am and gets back for 4 x
Hey, what are your jobs . How do you manage to NOT live in cities that offer most job opportunities m
Everyones vaccinated, welcome to the Ward Farm. Youll fit in fine.
Not quite everybody, but if they follow New Zealand's intimation that next year they will be 'seeking out' the unvaccinated and giving them the 'opportunity' to be vaccinated . . .until the whole country is vaccinated, then it soon will be everybody.

@@jamesart9 They do comprehend this.
ITS A WAR CRIME.
WE KNOW.
AND WE COMING. IN NUMBERS.
They will be made accountable. Join us.
Believe it or not, I am moving to Australia tomorrow Land on Australia day in Sydney roll on summer #491visa

You have to be double or triple mRNA jabbed to work in the health sector, you're mad if you want the clot shots to work here.
