Many people dream of moving to another country to improve their quality of life and conquer new career heights. However, it is not always clear where to start your journey and what the options are for moving. In this article, you will learn about the main ways of immigration to Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
Professional immigration
Professional immigration is probably the most common type of immigration to English-speaking countries. Australia, Canada and New Zealand have government-approved lists for in-demand occupations. There is a lack of qualified personnel in certain occupations in the country, so the government covers these shortages with specialists from abroad. These lists often include all kinds of engineers , as well as IT and healthcare professionals. However, there are also opportunities in finance, agriculture, construction, environmental protection, etc. If your speciality is on one of these shortage lists, you have a chance to move to the country under this immigration category.

Immigration through work
Another way to immigrate is to find a job in Australia, Canada or New Zealand and get a temporary work visa. After working for several years in your area of specialisation on a work visa, you can apply for residency.
This method of immigration is suitable not only for in-demand specialists, but also for those who are not on the shortage lists. However, it is often very difficult to get a job for someone whose speciality is not on the shortage lists. The employer will have to prove that they could not find anyone in the local labour market, and that you are the most suitable candidate for the position. If, however, you are highly qualified in your field, have a lot of work experience and good English, you may be in luck with your job search.

Immigration through education
Immigration through education is an excellent option for those who have not found themselves on the lists of in-demand occupations, as well as for in-demand specialists who do not have sufficient points, good English or who have difficulties finding an employer.
The essence of immigration through education is that students who graduate in Australia, Canada or New Zealand are granted a work visa after their studies. As a rule, this is an open visa; it is not tied to any employer, and a graduate can use it to work in any occupation. However, to stay in the country long-term and obtain residency, you need to find a job in your area of expertise.

Immigration for outstanding talent
You can also move to Australia, New Zealand or Canada if you have exceptional talents and can make a significant contribution to the cultural or sports life of the country. To immigrate under this category, you will need to provide evidence of your exceptional abilities: mention in mass media, winning international contests or sports competitions, receiving awards and prizes, etc.
