Another reason why Australia’s such a great destination for skilled migrants: according to a recent survey it’s amongst the top three expat-friendly countries behind Canada and Germany.
The HSBC Bank International’s Expat Explorer Survey interviewed 2,155 expats in 48 countries. The survey considered four main categories: how easy it was to meet and befriend locals, the number that joined a community group, the percentage who bought property, and the number that learned the local language.
Australia scores well as an expat destination: ninety-one percent of the expats in Australia surveyed said that they’d struck up friendships with locals, compared to ninety-two percent in Germany and ninety-five percent in Canada. Read more here.
It’s no surprise that Australia rates so highly as an expat destination: a move to Australia is a fabulous lifestyle choice. Skilled migrants living in Australia enjoy space, a high standard of living, temperate weather and world-class education and health systems.
It’s also great to hear that most people who move to Australia are very happy with their decision. According to The Changing Settlement Experience of New Migrants Report 95% of skilled migrants have employment within 18 months of their move to Australia and 94% are ‘very satisfied’ with their new life in Australia.
