Common questions about comparing AU vs CA immigration

Why compare Australia and Canada for immigration?

Australia and Canada both offer strong pathways to permanent residency for skilled workers, but they operate very differently. Australia uses a points-tested Expression of Interest system; Canada uses CRS-based Express Entry. The right country depends on your occupation, qualifications, language scores, and timeline. A comparison from advisers registered in both jurisdictions gives you an unbiased, professional picture.

Is Australian or Canadian immigration faster?

It depends on your profile and visa type. Australian Subclass 189/190 skilled visas currently average 6–18 months. Canada's Express Entry can reach permanent residency in 6–12 months if your CRS score is competitive. Employer-sponsored pathways in both countries tend to be faster. See the occupation-specific guides above for realistic timeline estimates.

Can a dual-registered adviser give better advice than one registered in a single country?

Yes. Advisers registered in only one jurisdiction cannot legally advise on the other country. immi.tv holds both MARA registration (MARN 2518872) for Australia and RCIC certification (R705748) for Canada — one of very few services with dual registration — giving you a complete picture from a single source without referral to a second adviser.
