Many positions are currently unfilled in Australia and Canada due to a severe shortage of Internal and External Auditors with two or more years of experience. Auditors from other countries are routinely hired by finance recruiters in these two countries for both short and long-term positions. Even if you do not have a job offer, you can apply for residency in these countries through the popular Skilled Migration and Express Entry programmes.
Internal and external auditors, as well as other specialists, are in high demand in this field.
How do I secure a Residency Visa in Australia or Canada as an Auditor?
Without a Job Offer
Did you know you can apply for residency in Australia and Canada before you get a job offer? Skilled migration programmes in both Canada and Australia allow you to apply for residency solely on the basis of your professional credentials. Eligibility is influenced by factors such as age, education, and work experience. Companies will be able to hire you much more easily because they will not have to deal with the onboarding work permit procedure once you have obtained your temporary or permanent residency status. Because you already have work authorization in your passport, you may be able to begin working immediately. This is, without a doubt, the most effective way to start a new life in these countries.
With a Job Offer
Most applicants who do not meet the skilled migration criteria begin looking for work in the country of their choice. Being "Job Ready" is critical in this situation. The vast majority of work visa subclasses necessitate a skills assessment. A legitimate skills evaluation will add a lot of weight to an applicant's CV when looking for work.
