Every single one of the above statements is wrong.

In the real world, there is scant difference, in fact most Aussies and Kiwis that work overseas are very well respected and are high achievers. And in reality that's what it should be about - can you train to do what you want and can you do the job when you graduate.

In fact working for a US company and having frequent dealings with US staff I am far from impressed at their general ability in the workplace.

I don't think Australia permits tri-citizenship. I had heard that it no longer supports dual-citizenship anymore for new citizens.

Pollyana

Not true. See the links posted above.

Thanks everyone for sharing lot of information.

Can anyone throw some light on job culture , security etc?

Anyone who thinks Aussie allows tri-citizenship anymore is deluded and have a 3 way nationality in this day and age simply does not exist especielly when High security concious countries like Australia and USA are involved.

In many cases people have a 3 way if the third is a poorer country that simply and other governments may not even acknowledge it ie Canada, GB and Sudan...But this would never involve Australia.

Australian is good with UK, Ireland and a few countries but overall it is very difficult to dual. You will meet any Italian or greeks who came out in the sixties and seventies who when Aussie citizenship arrived were forced to give up their previous nationality.

I already have Australia/USA. Hypothetically If i took out HSMP and live in London for 20 years and I could never get UK unless I decided to drop one of the other passports. You would be made to choose.

People here aren't keen to dump people. Organisations are well aware that especielly within engineering that times will become good again and they want to hold on to good talent as much as possible. Also the end of financial year has gone so companies are less concerned about having dollars on the books.

Its part of the reason for the GFC I beleive, America has lost the plot business wise.

Pollyana

See links above. And anyone who calls JAJ deluded is a brave poster

I think you'll find it's you who's deluded. Australia does not require people to renounce their current citizenship when they become Australian citizens. Nor can it remove a person's citizenship of another country. Therefore if someone who is already a dual citizen applies for Australia citizenship and meets all requirements then there is no reason for it not to be granted. It is up to those other countries whether they choose to remove their citizenship.

You mention migrants from decades ago...did you stop to think that the Citizenship Act may have changed since then??

Deancm

Not if citizenship was gained prior to May 2002. This was when the law was changed.

In todays world, there is no such thing as job security. That is a remnant of the past. Do your job properly or you're out the door.

Those links are for United States dual nationality law and not Australian law.

Frankly, I like my life here in the US. People here are nice and I enjoy my school here. But I move to the Aus to live with my family. I feel lonely here now and then when life is not so exciting.
