  1.  @aissaaziz84  Both are not worth it, go literally anywhere else, there are plenty of countries that are much better. Watch some of Nomad Capitalists videos that discuss the other places and why Canada and Australia, specifically CUNA & CANZUK are all finished. The regimes (sorry I mean governments...) now have the ability to suspend laws and enforce "pandemic" rules if they feel a threat exists anywhere in the world even if its not in their country, so you could be working or running a business one day, prohibited the next without warning. They are both actively increasing their taxes which are already around 50% (more if you factor in all the levies - fire services levy (even though the same thing is in council rates and state government budgets), private health medicare levy (you get taxed both for not having private health insurance and for having it but a bit less if you have it)), the business environment is nothing but paperwork and pointless compliance thanks to them being "nanny" states. Oh and there's always some new course or experience requirement that'll result in you always being forced back into doing courses and updates just to do anything. Utterly pointless for doing business as all your time and profitability will be lost to compliance and "training" - only the giant corporation's can get around this. Source: Australian citizen (also EU citizen) and am stuck in Australia till the end of this year (legally stuck with JD) and have watched a once great country turn to utter shit whilst growing up. I have relatives in Canada who've seen it become shit as well (Canada is 3-5yrs ahead of Australia in the decline). Both places are heading directly from socialism to communism and completely destroyed economies (depression level and worse). Businesses have either left the countries or gone bankrupt, jobs don't exist, the cost of the basics have skyrocketed and extreme environmental policies are destroying both farms and public land (forests, etc.).

  2. Collecting Commonwealth Citizenships? Any reason you didn't just use CARICOM to quickly get to a tax haven and work (then later to CBI with the money that would have otherwise be gone as taxes) instead of getting Australian citizenship, Australian citizenship only has one benefit over Canadian - the freedom of movement with New Zealand (not a desirable benefit looking at the economy and business environment there)? IMHO your six years would have been much better spent even studying in Canada so you can get a CSME certificate for moving around CARICOM if not already held.
