    It is not that hard. Australia is a big country and are looking for skilled workers. They give basically ANYONE a holiday visa. Getting a working Visa is fairly easy (works on a points system) Having an education does give you extra points.

    If you want to live there full time:

    Your best best is to get sponsored by a business there, it is not that hard and as long as your are sponsored you can work towards full citizenship.

    If you want you can get your degree in Australia!

    It's easier to immigrate if you have skills that Australia really wants, try looking at the official website, or the Phil Down Under program on channel 4 had some really good advice about moving abroad. Basically they're looking for people who have university degrees, or have secured a job out there. If you set up a business in Australia you will need to hire a minimum of 2 people. They also have a cut off age, people over 50 don't stand much of a chance, if they do get in they can't move in the country again, they have to stay in the same house! Good luck x

    Getting citizen ship or permanent residency is always hard, but compared to most countries Australia is easy.

    If you plant to just stay here for a while, you could get a visa which is not to hard.

    It depends on what degree you do. the degree itself will not help you become an australian but if you get a job in one of the shortage areas, and you have enough experience, then you can become a citizen. Go to you nearest Australian embassy for more information, they will be able to help you a lot as it is their job.

    This is dumb question..no offense..any move from country to country is hard. Especially if its across the world to a different hemisphere. The water in the toilets will flush the other way. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT??
