Can a career change in Oz affect PR status/ability to get citizenship?
I applied and got PR as a skilled migrant (i'm an accountant).
If i decide on a career change in Australia can this affect my residency status or ability to get Citizenship?
I have looked all over for information on this and can find nothing.
I think that once you have PR, it doesn't matter what you do - but i would like to be sure as i don't want to risk not getting my citizenship (in however many years time!)

No it wont affect it. Though some would argue that since you immigrated as your chosen proffession you should continue. All the best and dont worry!

I think this must be right since i am planning to go out as a landscaper and have already been approached by a vineyard as a manager. They are aware of my current position so they must be fairly sure its legit!!!
