How does the Australian Government decide what kind of people it wants to give citizenship to?

Same way any other country does by what will benefit them!

I think you might of misunderstood.  I have never heard of a country deporting it's own citizens. Not recently, anyway.  England deported a bunch of it's prisoners and they formed what is now modern day Australia.  But that was a while back.  \n\nI am curious to find out if you are right though.  I can't imagine another country would accept them.\n\nAnd if they are deported to the US that doesn't make sense.  That would be like giving someone a bag of apples to punish them for stealing apples.

I'm not sure of the exact steps. But you might want to talk to a Navy recruiter. I had several people I worked with enter the Navy medical corps and they were not citizens yet. They were refugees from Africa. But by entering the military they were able to have their citizenship sped up.

Hello, I live in Australia. If you go to the website "Department of Foreign Affairs" that is listed below you will find the information you need. When you go to the website click on the section that says "About Australia" and there is lots of information about immigration. \nGood luck i hope it works for you!

This is the official site for the Australian government web site.  They have links to PDF docs needed to obtain licenses,etc as well as some info.  I don't know if this will help, but if nothing else, you should be able to find email addresses, phone numbers and snail mail addresses to put you in contact with the appropriate authorities.  Good luck.

There are several programs for migrating to Australia.\nThey include:\n\n(1) skilled migration scheme for people with skills and talents at various trades;\n\n(2) family reunion for people with family in Australia;\n\n(3) special eligibility for people who were former citizens or residents;\n\n(4) humanitarian program for refugees and others in special need.\n\nI enclose a link to the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs containing further information.

No. As long as you are loyal to the country, willing to bear arms for it, possess a good moral character, and know the basic history, and civic of the country, you can apply for the naturalization.

There are thousands of Malaysian PR working in Singapore. Few took up citizenship. Automatic citizenship is given to people born here (among other criteria) but couples are no producing enough and we have a fast aging population. There are some who takes up citizenship for practical reasons including getting housing loans but there are also those who renounces it once back in their country. Tbere are more disadvantages and benefits are not worth unless you are in a desperate situation.

Some countries grant citizenship by birth. For example, if you are born in the USA, you are an American citizen, no matter if your parents are not.\n\nSome countries grant citizenship by blood. For example, if one of your parents is Spanish, you are considered Spanish. There is a well-known case of an American who went to Spain to visit relatives and was conscripted in the army because he was Spanish by parental blood.\n\nStateless citizens are something different. For instance, in Kuwait, they did a census around 1926 and another around 1951. If your family is not on the census, you were not Kuwaiti. However, they did not take a census of the Bedoun, who are nomadic Kuwaitis (Arabs - as Kuwaitis might argue they are "not" Kuwaiti) who live in the desert around Kuwait City proper. These Bedoun, though their ancestors have lived there for many years (or hundreds) are stateless. They do not have Kuwaiti citizenship and are not entitled to the benefits that Kuwaiti citizens get.\n\nI hope this helps put it in perspective.

Australia allows for dual citizenship, but I don't know about South Africa.  Each country has its own rules about citizenship. Some will only allow you to be of one country, some allow if you are born there, or if your parents are born there... etc  Go to your government's website and look up your Emigration and citizenship laws.

One might think that China would fit the bill. Certainly as an economic power house this would seem to be so but along with the economic advantages come the huge population and problems with different cultures unified temporarily under mow. I believe the country will be torn apart by feuding between wealthy political groups. The great divide between rich and poor is far more advanced than outsiders normally perceive..\n\nI believe provided Australia tightens up its migration pro gramme and actively encourages non Muslim educated migrants it will be the world leader in the future. For its population it si already the cleverest country. There is little poverty. A working family can easily afford to own there own home 3 bed and a garden. Australians have a strong sense of justice and an equally strong work ethic and common sense. There are more natural resources per head of population than any other country in the world. The legal system though not perfect is freer of politics than the US. They have three tiers of government most elected every three years. Potentially anyone can stand for parliament and they are not afraid of jailing dishonest politicians. The premier of Western Australia was jailed for corruption in the 1980's. It is a fair free country.

I am not clear what exactly you want to know. My view on citizenship of America is that it is the best place to live and it is very hard to get the citizenship of US for an outsider.

In legal sense you have a right in the country in which you are a citizen. Also your birth country could give you some special rights and privileges.\n\nIn moral sense you are the one to decide your nationality. You can call yourself as belonging to either of the place you've mentioned. It all depends on your liking of a particular place.
