What’s immigrating to Australia Like

Immigration to Australia is relatively straightforward compared to Japan for instance which doesn’t even allow immigrants to assimilate, not only through formal citizenship but also in society eg. foreign people have a different set of alphabet called Katakana to spell their names as opposed to locals using Hiragana or the Kanji.

Australian people and most permanent residents mostly consist of immigrants.

The country prides itself having a ‘rules-based order for Immigrants.

So don’t waste your time in an attempt to bribe officials.

it’s relatively straightforward for those who do their research and prep work.
