    From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.

      Not sure if you’re talking about Australia or Canada but while it’s easy enough to get a study visa for Australia the cost of studying here would preclude that option for most people.

        Talking about Australia.

        Yeah, I was surprised with how much the education cost was, but it seems to high mostly for foreigners so that’s understandable. But it’s still cheaper than US tuition cost.

          Yeah it’s subsidised for residents.

          I think bachelor units are like $2,000 AUD each which is about 1.5 weeks full time average wage. 24 units in a bachelor.

          Closer to $10k each for foreigners.
