Question Australia, Canada or New Zealand for immigration?

Hi respectable experts,

I want to migrate to a good, stable country for my better future. Can anyone suggest that which country Australia, Canada or New Zealand is best to migrate to?

I would really appreciate your valuable inputs.

By the way. I am a Software Engineer and done masters in Software Engineering and have more than 7 years of experience.

Depends what you like from life. Have you visited any of them before? Knowing what you think comprises a "better future" might also help people to comment and suggest.....

No I haven't visited any of them before. I mean living standards, overall climate, job opportunities, benefits like health, insurance etc..

Don't consider Canada unless you can live with lots of snow and ice. The wording of your post suggests to me that you come from India or that region, so the Canadian winter might be quite a shock.

We emigrated to NZ nearly 5 years ago and are now in the process of applying for PR in Australia because we don't see a long-term future for ourselves in NZ.

NZ is a beautiful, clean and peaceful country where things work well (we come from a tropical developing country) but it's also very quiet (boring?), there are somewhat limited job opportunities, and the weather isn't great (and we're in the far north of the north island which has the best weather in the country!). Salaries aren't particularly high in NZ so don't come here if you're expecting a high salary! The cost of living is also quite high (especially in comparison to earnings).

The NZ people are mostly very nice although we haven't made that many close friends here. We are in a small town which obviously makes things more difficult in some ways - perhaps those in Auckland and the larger cities have had a more positive experience here.

Whilst I know that Australia won't be everything we've ever dreamed of, we believe there are many more opportunities in Australia and the climate is definitely better. At the end of the day you have to decide what your priorities are and that should help you decide which country to go for.

Hope this helps in your decision making process!

Check which of these states you can get in to first. You only have a decision to make if it's more than one.

But if you use that route you will never have permanent residency here, and will never be a citizen. Depends how much security you want.
