5 Important things to do before coming to Australia

At last, most of those who have just received their PR visas are now preparing to come down to Australia. You might be thinking of what you need to do and where to start. Here are some tips that could possibly help and guide you on the way.

1. Settle all money matters. This might include pooling enough money to use while looking for job. Knowing that you still have something on your pocket to pull out could give peace of mind somehow. Cancel all credit cards, if there's any so not to be charged with some fees like annual and membership.

2. Get contact details of those people who you think could be your references when hunting for a job. Let them know that you are putting their details on your resume and that someone might contact them so they could be prepared enough to say good words about you.

3. File all important documents that you want to bring like marriage contract, birth certificate, baptismal, employment certificate and etc. Just think about all documents that you want to have a copy of because you would be far from where you would normally secure them from.

4. Shop for useful clothes depending on the weather upon arrival. If you think you are arriving in summer, buy more summer clothes that would fit on the allowable baggage. This could help you initially considering that you just came in and still looking for work. It might just be in time when you get your first job and be able to buy new clothes that winter outfits are on sale. In packing for your clothes and stuffs, it's more helpful to use boxes rather than briefcases as the latter will eat up much weight allowed for you.

5. Lastly, enjoy the remaining days and spend time with the people you love as it might take long before you see your mother country and those people again. Take note than when you landed on to a job, days will fly too fast for you because there are so much things to do not only at work but also at home.

I do hope that this list has helped you planning. Start ahead of time to avoid cramming and forgeting some stuffs important for you. As much as possible, do your own list of things to bring and things to do. Happy migrating!
