It was not too long ago when I felt I spent one-quarter of my life in just one country. The system of it was just too mainstream, with the same lifestyle, same routine every day. I was feeling trapped in the circumstances. It was a dream I pictured that I would one day migrate to another country. Though it never seemed like becoming a reality, until it did. Yes! Surprised and overwhelmed with joy. It was as if I was still dreaming, but this time with my eyes open.
Why did I migrate?
Here’s a little background about myself. My name is Khaan, and I am the only child of my parents. Born and brought up in the cities of India. I studied in English medium and made a career in Logistics. Having a work experience of 5 years in a UK based company, I got promoted to the senior manager position. Indeed, the year 2020 was a roller coaster for everyone! Luckily, it was the year for me.
Our company ventured with a foreign business based in Aussies. I was a director at this program, and we were asked to travel to Australia early in January 2020. Having a kickstart year in the dreamland country was like living a fairytale. Hence, undoubtedly, it was the turning point of my life.
However, as COVID-19 vastly spread, causing a global pandemic, I couldn’t accept the distance my parents and I shared. Moreover, they were alone in India, and the numbers were getting crazy. Therefore, before the flights were halted, I made a life-changing decision. It was a real challenge to move family to Australia during this pandemic, though it happened successfully. All thanks to the simplified procedures of the Aussie nation.
It was a tough call to make, as they had spent their life in a desi style, and suddenly western culture, a huge deal! Moreover, they would also face language barriers, but the pros of migrating to Australia outruns the drawback. You must be wondering what I am talking about; worry not, let me elaborate. Keep reading as I highlight the benefits of moving to Australia.
Why migrate to Australia?
Free or at a Low-cost Health Care
The healthcare industry in Australia is renowned, and they provide a range of services free of charge or at a very low cost.
All four seasons
The weather in Australia is another factor that grabs migrant’s attention. Hence, this attractive temperature blesses each citizen throughout the year. One can experience the hot summer days, cozy spring eve’s, and chilly winter mornings, all just in one country!
Food! Food! Food!
Assuredly, India is famous for its spicy, tangy foods. Likewise, Australia is no less! A line of fast-food chains, from Chinese to Italian to Mexican, have it as you name it! The diversity of food satisfies all migrants from all across the globe.
The road to citizenship
The criteria to get citizenship is to become a permanent resident. Hence, it is a win-win for many migrants. Babies born to permanent residents can directly apply for citizenship even if parents are not yet eligible. However, Australian officials acknowledge dual citizenship. These are just off the surface, migrate here, and witness it yourself!
