Immigration up to now 26 years, across the time comparison of immigration, can be said to be different today.
Immigrants who had logged in 20 years ago, such as me and my parents, had a relatively comfortable life at home, but they had to start all over again as a result of the times when they went abroad.
Unlike today's newcomers, most of them have completed plans to buy cars and homes in less than a year or two, and others can easily buy high-end luxury goods.
The children who study abroad now rely on the support of their parents, while studying abroad is delicious and fun and not as hard as the friends who studied abroad at that time.
Thanks to the growing strength of China and the growing diversity of immigration policies, Australians' attitudes towards new immigrants are becoming more and more receptive and inclusive.
As a result, the problems encountered by the new immigrants have gradually changed from the survival of the past to the adaptation and development.

It is a good thing that many new immigrants are full of expectations for a new life in the future. However, in recent years, I have seen many new immigrants with dreams crushed by reality, can not help but sigh.
It is not that the new immigrant friends are not good enough, but that the current immigrant friends themselves are starting to get higher. People may not be willing to do all the work for a variety of reasons such as life stress, language and so on, as we, or even earlier generations of immigrants, are willing to do.
Newcomers now have plenty of life and more to see, and naturally they want to be sewn up to the office or other relatively "decent" jobs.
However, with the increasing number of highly skilled immigrants from various countries in recent years, large numbers of immigrants from Indian, British, European, South African and other countries have poured into the crowded Australian job market to compete with Chinese friends.
The two examples around me are the most illustrative.
The ND couple were in their early 30s, and D was the second generation of immigrants who had moved to Australia with their parents since childhood. When they returned to Shanghai to work in IBM, they met N. After they got married a year ago, they decided to settle in Australia.
N is actually a professional white-collar worker who has worked for many years in the world's top 500 companies. It was originally planned that Australia could successfully live the original life. As a result, after the two men dismissed the work of China and came to Australia, the original company informed them that the Australian company had no seat. When I went to the Internet to find a job, I didn ' t have a suitable job for half a year. I almost went back to China to go home.
Another Vietnamese couple, MS, is better off. S is a job visa nominated by an employer and has a steady income. M has a higher education and previously worked in a well-known multinational company, so he has a good job experience and fluent English.
When they came to Australia for a reunion, they thought they would soon find the right job, but it took eight months for him to sign a three-month contract at a government agency. The already thin body bone unexpectedly because of the pressure to lose a circle again.
To give these examples, it is no more than a reminder to new immigrants: if there are conditions, be sure to prepare at least half a year's "dry grain" and prepare for a sustained battle between material and spiritual matters.

If time and energy permit, new immigrant friends must first attend the 500-hour course offered by Australia's government for new immigrants.
This course is generally free of charge, where you can not only learn to adapt to the new language environment with teachers, but also learn about the various information services offered by government to new immigrants, such as health insurance, banks, etc., to help you get down as soon as possible settle. If you can also meet a few very happy new friends, will certainly let you feel warm in a foreign country, no longer so lonely.
After the start of a new life in Australia, you can choose to take part in the volunteer service activities of a number of associations to help you integrate more quickly into society, expand people's pulse and accumulate working experience.
You may have heard that in foreign countries, more emphasis is placed on work experience than education. It is difficult to find a first satisfactory job even if you have a higher degree if your work experience is zero.
Finally, we need to remind you that when you first arrive in Australia, it is necessary to calm your mind. The requirements for work can be lowered at first. For example, short-term, contract workers, what to do, first move up and then seek development. Most of the Chinese people have strong working skills, communication and communication is relatively weak. First go in to experience the most critical, as long as hard work, not afraid of the boss does not appreciate do not want to retain you for a long time.
Australia is naturally different from the domestic, here is "good mountains, good water, lonely". You can't both suck haze and keep the same habits you used to.
Cherish what you have now, as much as possible to embrace the sun here and the sea breeze blowing.
