Australian white is the most selfish white you had never behold! Their scholarship for PhD students cant even offset the tuition! And victoria state untill now, did not give discount for international students' transit, disgracing the whole western world. Tax is high. You work there. Then you help them raise their children and their selfish old white. Price is high. Salary is lower than most common wealth and USA and Canada. Thats why people call Australia the tier 2 or tier 3 developed country.
there is, if your company has a canadian office, they can apply for canadian work permit anytime of the year, and start right away as soon as it's approved. and canadians are slow, so it might take them 1 ~ 3 month to approve a visa , just a heads up.
