One of the most common questions students would ask is about the differences among Australia, New Zealand and Canada. All of the three countries are English-speaking countries, with a very good quality of life, incredible places and landscapes, and high-quality education.
New Zealand, Australia or Canada?
The good news is that we are here to help you, to make things easy for you and to advise you. Therefore, in today's article we are going to make a comparison of the aspects that we consider most important when making this super important decision.
Get residency
Many of students have already obtained residency in New Zealand. And it is that in comparison with Australia, it is easier to obtain the residence after studying a course in new zealand .
The New Zealand government offers foreigners the option of studying a course and then applying for a work visa of up to 3 years, with which obtaining a residence is much easier. There are even those who affirm that migrating to this country is even easier than in Canada. The opportunities it offers are insane!
To all this, you must add the rapid growth of the New Zealand economy, which is opening up many skilled job opportunities for students.
Climate
Australia, New Zealand and Canada have highly variable climates depending on the season and the area in which you are going to travel.
In the South Island of New Zealand, you will find a climate that is cold in winter and mild/springy in summer. In these southern locations, winters are cold, with single-digit temperatures easily reached. In summer the climate is very pleasant, with temperatures around 25oC.In the North Island of New Zealand, you can find warmer areas, with more tropical summers and mild winters. Get out of your head that New Zealand is just snow and cold! It is not like this.
In Australia, as in New Zealand, it also varies from one area to another. In the north, the climate is tropical, with high temperatures all year round and abundant rains in summer. The popular east coast has a subtropical climate and if we go to Melbourne, we will find a temperate climate in summer and cold in winter.
Canada depends a lot on the area in which you live. Although in general, it is very cold, there are some cities, like Vancouver, where you can enjoy the summer and the beach. There is a place for everyone!
Our recommendation would be the following: if you are looking for a very warm and tropical climate, then northern Australia or northern New Zealand will suit you, in places like Tauranga. If, on the other hand, you are one of those who prefers a more Mediterranean, mild and cool climate, then we recommend places like Sydney, Melbourne or other parts of New Zealand such as Nelson, especially if you want to be able to practice winter sports. And of course, if you like the cold and mountain sports, Canada is for you!
Schools and student visa
The level is the same for both countries. You can study in Australia or New Zealand in schools that have a high prestige and the most modern infrastructures.
By applying for a student visa , you can work up to a maximum of 20 hours a week in New Zealand and 40 hours spread over two weeks in Australia. In Canada, you can only work if you study a professional training course, called Co-Op.
In Australia and Canada, when you finish your visa, immigration will give you an extra month. Students usually take advantage of that extra month of visa to travel.
The quality of life is very good in all three countries. They also boast of being safe and having high salaries. In Australia the salaries are a bit higher, but so are the prices. Several of its main cities sneak into the rankings of the best cities in the world to live every year, such as Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Wellington or Toronto. Regarding savings, in all three countries it is possible to save. A very common way of doing this is by working on farms or in rural areas.
Lifestyle
All countries have developed a lifestyle in which enjoying free time and doing activities that make you happy is paramount. This is why work is one more aspect of life for them, but not the most important.
In New Zealand the lifestyle is calmer, more about being in contact with nature, playing sports, going on excursions and reconnecting with oneself. It is the country of adventure sports!
In Australia you can also find very quiet destinations, to enjoy the beach and the waves or big cities with more leisure options. He also usually does a lot of sports and eats a healthy diet. Surfing is the order of the day. When it comes to partying, Australia wins; cities like Melbourne, Sydney or the Gold Coast never sleep.
Travel
The two countries are extraordinary in terms of landscapes and places to visit. Australia is more about beaches, tropical forests, coral reefs and desert, while New Zealand has beaches, lakes, forests, glaciers and huge mountains that look like something out of a movie.
New Zealand offers more things together and getting around it by van is easier and cheaper than Australia. The distances in Australia are enormous.
In Australia, to go from one city to another, you will almost certainly have to go by plane, while in New Zealand you can easily travel by car.
Culture
Maori culture is certainly much more prominent than Aboriginal culture. While in Australia Aboriginal references predominate especially in the Northern Territory, in New Zealand Maori culture is everywhere. Maori is an official language in New Zealand and signs can often be found in both English and Maori. Canada enjoys a great artistic wealth, influenced by the French and British.
Conclusion
What we can tell you is that Australians, New Zealanders and Canadians are wonderful and very kind people who will make you feel at home. All countries are used to multiculturalism and living with people whose mother tongue is not English. They share the same values and the relationship. Don't be afraid to open up to new cultures, good people are everywhere guys!
