Adelaide wants more immigrants
I keep hearing more and more about Adelaide. I have friends who moved there, and my sister is considering leaving Brazil to make it happen too. Also, there is news everywhere about how open they currently are for more immigration.
Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia. It's a beautiful and diverse place with a population of ~1.4 million. You look to the east you see the hills (with lots of famous wineries). To the west, over 50km of coastline. And a vibrant and modern city in between.
It continually ranks as one of the top ten most liveable cities in the world. As the Government of South Australia says:
Our relaxed yet prosperous and affordable lifestyle, ease of travel, low population density, safety, and abundance of cultural and leisure activities, makes South Australia one of the great boutique regions of the world.
If you like what you see, the timing is perfect. The state of South Australia is opening many doors for foreign professionals and students who are committed to living there.
Candidates who would like to live and work in South Australia are awarded extra points on top of the ones from federal immigration programs. There are also more occupations in the lists of demand, and the process should happen faster and with fewer complications.
But even if your occupation is not on the list or you don't have work experience, there's still a way to make it happen.
You can choose a new field to study if you wish to start over. You have options from one-year courses to full university programs. There are special conditions to allow students graduating and working in South Australia to get permanent residency.
To make things even more attractive, the state also offers a “Skilled Arrival Service” with:
Discounted accommodation on arrival;
Settlement support services (including meet-and-greet at the airport and New Arrivals Dinner);
Free practical workshops, group coaching and spotlight sessions to help you succeed in the job market;
Access to information, resources and referrals;
Skills recognition pathways, including recognition of your overseas qualifications and trade skills for employment purposes.
It's a lifetime and exciting opportunity, no doubts about that. Here's a list of resources in case you are now picturing spending your weekend researching about migrating to South Australia:
