Before you study in Australia what it is you were aiming for?
Migrate together with my whole family.
“Study any course that will allow me to stay so that I could work and send money to my family”.
Be in a first-class country and apply for citizenship.
“I don’t have any idea, because my family is the one deciding for me
and I don’t know if this is what I want”.
You might have a different version of why you wanted to study in Australia.
but everything boils down to only one thing.
You wanted to have the best life that you could have.
Achieve to get all your needs and wants.
An idea that going to a country like Australia somehow, feels like a good decision because of this:
- Get an education that is recognized by many institutions so I can apply and get a higher salary.
- Have a comfortable life. Get all the basic necessities you could have than comparing it, if you spend it in your own country.
- A Student visa that allows you to stay and work that will give you an opportunity to apply for citizenship. Help you build a life either getting all your family members with or starting one of your own.
You are most welcome to do all of this.
So while questioning yourself why you really wanted to study here in the first place.
I will give you these 3 million-dollar questions that you must ask yourself before you study in Australia.
Can This Course Help Me Get That Permanent Residency?
Time is priceless, and there is no course that can guarantee you getting that permanent residency.
..but
You could at least do your work before you study in Australia, so you could save time and money.
Listen to this story.
They went to Australia to get that life they have always wanted. She applied for a student visa and together with her husband they left Philippines.
For years they tried to enter the Australian workforce and somehow getting that working visa lead them to frustration. A culinary course couldn’t seem to work her way up and acquire a permanent visa.
All I wanted was to be happy and give the best life to my family and to the family I am about to build.
…happy ending seems to be just in fairy tales after all.
Because after staying there for 6 years…
…they went home.
“I had this embarrassment whenever somebody asked me about what happened why we came back home“-she said.
You could never get time back not unless you have that time machine that will allow you to board, set back the date, and correct decisions that will align you towards your goal.
A lost time is gone it can never be bought back
So if your goal is to get that permanent residency after your student visa then you must choose a course that can increase your chance of bringing home the bacon.
I know you don’t want this to happen so you better find a suitable course that will maximize your chance of getting that permanent residency.
Save millions, save priceless emotions that can never be bought.
Shall I apply for Australian Citizenship?
After getting your Australian permanent residency make sure you’re thinking about the next step.
…Getting that Citizenship…
I’m sure there are huge numbers of benefits of why you should apply for your citizenship.
I won’t lie because honestly, I even haven’t thought about it yet.
But looking at these practical things…
- Education, one of the best education systems that is why people all over the globe chooses Australia for getting their undergraduate or postgraduate studies.
- Health Care, #9 in the world
- Tax, you can see where your money is going.
- Government gives support to those who cannot provide for themselves.
Australia seems to be a good fit.
And if you believe that life in your motherland is better that all you need is save money then follow your heart and do what you think is right for you.
Where Do I want to retire?
You give all you’ve got. Worked hard in your studies while paying for your own tuition fees and making sure you’d survive. Grabbed your PR in Australia, and already changed your passport as an Australian Citizen.
You have chased a good life. Well I did, and sooner or later your children will have that run for themselves. Suddenly, you’re bored and felt lonely.
You then realize that you wanted to go back to the Philippines and enjoy your retirement there.
Because you miss just going outside especially if your from the province where it’s easy to have a good conversation with your neighbors. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy simple things like visiting a relative’s house and just enjoy a meal with a good laugh and a drink.
Or you can just stay here in Australia because this is your home and besides your family is here.
You might not have thought about it yet. And you must realize that your decision to study in Australia must be clear from the beginning about the next steps you would do in your life.
I am not your Father or your Mother, I am your friend.
And as a friend, I wanted to ask you, your plans so that you will have more time to prepare for whatever decision you are about to take.
There is no right or wrong answer here, your decisions won’t be judged, it’s yours and you can do whatever it is that you wanted to do with your life.
This question is worth millions because it’s happiness that we are talking about.
How Much is Happinness
Are you going to be happy staying here because of the opportunities, benefits, and comfort you will have?
Acquire that permanent residency become a citizen and use your pension money while you are still strong enough to enjoy a vacation.
or…
Are you preparing, saving money, investing it home because one day you still want to spend back to the place where your heart still belong and have sung that National Anthem once.
I’d be happy to hear your thoughts below.
Let’s hear it One more TIME
How much do you value your time
It’s that first step.
Think about the best way on how you are going to get your goal and if getting that Australian permanent residency is what you are aiming for next,
…then
Ask yourself if the course you’re gonna get can increase your chance of getting that permanent residency.
And for the last two questions.
What direction of life you wanted to take. A free life or a life that is held because of what is at stake.
As I am writing this article my eyes just went through walls and my laptop screen because I am starting to imagine how and where do I wanted to spend my life.
Australia is a wonderful place and home is where you make it I have my own perspective about life but I hope these questions made you realize where your heart really lies on so that you can start preparing yourself on how your going to get it.
Because at the end of the day it’s not about my story you are going to talk about…
…but it’s about yours.
