Is that true that only white english speaking can have a PR

How many true blue, dinky di Aussies have friends who are of a non-Anglo migrant background? As in 'speaks with an accent, Fresh-Off-The-Boat, speaks another language at home, follows another religion'. The token 'non-Aussie' would only be accepted in the group if they agree with and conform to the Aussie's mindset, any resistance will be seen as a threat to their precious way of life. Aussie employers, how often have you employed someone of a non-Anglo background through a system of fairness (ie. the 'foreigner' is the best qualified based on his CV) and not because they serve a purpose in your devious plan of world domination (ie. we need a 'foreigner' who is from 'x' country and speaks 'x' language because we need to tap into the market of 'x' country, or this 'foreigner' might be easier to manipulate and control as an employee). Having a foreign last name is literally a death sentence in the workplace.



is that true too?

I will also add that you mention Germany having 6 million migrants - yet their population is over 80 million people (less than 10% migrants)! In France you say that there is 5 million migrants - yet they have a population of over 65 million (less than10%)! Both of these countries are in the EU which have a heck of a lot more free movement than Australia.

Yet - with Australia's small 22 million population 6 million people were born overseas in 2012 - that's 27% of the total population of a country which does not have free movement like the EU.

I'd suggest you do some further research before coming onto a forum at sating things like "... any resistance will be seen as a threat to their precious way of life.." and "...and not because they serve a purpose in your devious plan of world domination.."

Right and Wrong

I am Brazilian and Australian, so let try to clarify the subject as much as possible:

1.As much as I can see there is no discrimination whatsoever to get a PR in Australia, it is pretty much a matter of proving your qualifications.

2. Socially speaking, I could not feel any discrimination more than I have found anywhere else in the world.

3. Professionally speaking, yes, you have some grounds to be suspicious:
3.1.As presented by a study of ANU ( news.anu.edu.au - 2009/06/17/ minorities-find-it-harder-to-get-jobs ) there is discrimination on job selection.
Once broken this barrier, I can guarantee that there is no discrimination at the workplace. I worked with a South African, Vietnamese, Philipinean, Indonesian and of course, Australians without any problem.
3.2. As an engineer, newspapers are pointing out that is happening a decrease of activity on the mining sector; accounting jobs are being outsourced to India, Pakistan and Philippines; Retail is suffering strong competition from on-line suppliers and reducing headcount. All that makes job searching a daunting task to anyone, Australian or not. But then again, these problems seems to be worldwide and not only local.
3.3. If you search a job engine (e.g.: Seek, mycareer, etc) you'll realize that multi language skills play a much smaller role in Australia than Europe (for obvious reasons), so that will not be a major differential.

In short, given GFC and other crisis that happened throughout the world, I would say that if you have someone sponsoring you to come to Australia, fantastic, it is a beautiful place to be.
But the world job market has shrunk since 2008, therefore I wouldn't make a jump now if you have steady offers anywhere else.

If you decide to do so, my best wishes of a safe and joyful landing Downunder.

There certainly is n't any restriction on "non-whites" becoming permanent residents. In fact, if you had taken care to do simple search, you would have found that the two major countries from where Australia is getting migrants are India and China. Definitely not white countries.

Racism is present everywhere in the world to some extent. I have lived in Asia, Europe, US and am now living in Australia. I have seen more racism in France than any of the other places. I have found Australia to be a decent place. I have found no racism in the workplace (depends on your industry of course) and very little outside. I depends on where you live. I live in Sydney metro area and this place is as multi-cultural as it gets.

That's false, UK immigrants and NZ immigrants have almost the double of each in proportion.

Indians and Chinese are tarjeted as "high risk countries" so visas are not given to them, an excuse for being not white?

And in the other hand I don't see any indian or chinese be successful or rich, so what they make there? unskilled jobs? even having th qualifications and studies?

Anyway, I don't know what to think, I meet some australians here in europe, and they laught about chinese and when a chinese passes they say things like "chin chong chin chon" and that is here when the takes holidays so I couldn't even image how is in Australia where is their country and police allow that kind of behavour..

So well, I think Australia is not for me, sorry bother everyone here, I could be paranoid but I don't want to live in an apartheid country and feel any discrimination against me....

This was just a crazy idea that crossed my mind but ... reading all think on internet about disgusting experiences of immigrants that lived in Australia... I have enough.

Only feel sorry for Aboriginal people, and immigrants who went there without advise of racism

I don't understand the purpose of your rant. You are not willing to look at statistics and going on like a moron about UK and NZ sending the most migrants. In 2012-13, Australia got 40000 migrants from India, 27000 from China and 21000 from UK. New Zealand was not even in the top 10 countries. I am talking about migrants here, not tourists or people on working visas. As for the rich and successful part, as you are not in Australia, how can you say Indians and Chinese are doing low end job even though they are highly educated???? I see plently of India taxi drivers here, but most of them are students or have got some not-in-demand qualifications. I am an Indian and I easily make much more than what an average Australian makes. It all depends on your skills. If there is a demand for your skills, then you will get the job.

I can go on an on, but a rant in response to another rant is hardly justified. Since you have made up your mind about Australia, I wish you best of luck with whatever you do.
