Please i need a candid advice. I am married with three kids (5,3 and 1). I stay in Lagos and my salary is about 10 million per annum with bright chances this will increase yearly in terms of salary reviews and promotions as I work with a big four. In short I can current afford to send my kids to good schools and take care of my family's basic needs. Would it be advisable to take a job offer in Australia (most likely sydney) for 80 to 85k AUD per annum pre-tax and live comfortably there with my family?

bligs:

An average decent 2/3 bedroom to accommodate you & your family is around $1,500 per month, that is $18,000/annum, utilities bills excluded.
With the size of your family, budget an average of $250 on groceries weekly which is $1000 per month and $12,000 annually. These two alone is like $30,000 in a year which is large portion of your targeted income.
Even with PR your kids education won't be entirely free and a lot of unforseen circumstances so have it in mind that you will live averagely just like every other person.

Bnimz:
with 10M per annum in Naija, you are a big man.... if you move to Aus for that salary you mentioned, You probably won't be able to live the way you are used to... And if your wife is currently a stay-at-home mum, she might have to start working.. in short, your comfort will reduce...so its up to you to decide whether a brighter future for your kids + more security and peace of mind in Australia outweighs the relatively easy life in Nigeria on that kind of salary..


If I was in your position though, I wouldn't move. i would process permanent residence in both Canada and Australia, fly over, activate it and hold it in case things go to hell in Nigeria one day, but I wouldn't actually relocate for anything below 120k. .... The cost of living is triple (or more) the cost of living in Nigeria, It doesn't make much economic sense to move for just Double the salary.

But hey, its just my opinion.

Thanks a lot. I want to understand that 'holding it in' part more. Does it mean once I get PR, I can just fly in, spend like a month and come back my PR status is secured? Let's forget citizenship now.

Hello guys,

Bravo you guys are doing great work here. I salute those who are here giving advice and experience thanks .

Please a nephew of mine just got his subclass 600 visa so I wanted to ask which Airport is better for Arrival in Australia that's less scrutiny and immigration wahala .

Though his plan is to arrive in Melbourne.

But i told him to wait make I ask from guys here that are over there in Australia.

Thanks in Advance

expertman:

OK sir .

Thanks

Subclass 600 is a visitor visa so he should know where he's going already. Where did he tell the case officer he was going to land or stay before getting the visa?

I guess you don't watch Australia Border Force. All airports in Australia will scrutinise you as they deem fit irrespective of your passport and/or visa class.
Coming in as a visitor, your nephew will be asked questions. If they are satisfied, they will allow him in.

I know I am late to this thread. But really, what is N10 million per annum?

Think ver this thing well. N10 million per annum is very far from being a big man. It is what is called a mirage...

Bnimz:


You have some valid points, but don't forget that even though the salary is almost double in Australia, the cost of living is more than double..... ... The point is, money alone is not enough motivation to move in his situation... If he moves purely because of money, chances are he'll be disappointed.

If he moves because of comparative economic stability, security, peace of mind and better future for the kids, then that's fine...

Kinboe:

. We are one devaluation away from turning N10 million to N6million.

Bnimz:
I totally understand. And that's why I would typically advise that no matter your motivation, get the permanent residence first...

But if money is the motivation, don't move yet..... If income stops growing, devaluation occurs, you lose your job, or you fall on any of the financial hardships that can randomly hit people in naija, if you already have permanent residence, then its a simple matter of booking a plane ticket out of the country....

We have several examples of people at that kind of level who moved primarily because of more money...., after 2 - 3 months, they returned to Nigeria, (usually because they couldn't continue the same "big man" lives they were used to)....

The good thing is, they can always come back if their utopian bubble in Nigeria collapses.


Of course, as I said earlier, if the primary motivation is not money, then Move.... No argument at all.

Anyone who is a Christian could find initial settling down easier by contacting any of this 2 main Nigerian churches in Victoria, RCCG and Deeperlife. And it is not necessary you should be their member or even be a Christian before they can help I think. Below are their web addresses and contacts.
