===Two waves of immigration===
The first Brazilian migrants began arriving in Australia in the mid-1970s. They were attracted to [[Australia]] by an Australian government assistance scheme. The second wave of migration began in the late 1990s and continues today. It is widely attributed to growing [[Socioeconomics|socio-economic]] power within Brazil since the 1980s and Brazilian'sBrazilians’ strong desire to learn English. Australia is becoming an appealing destination to learn English after the [[United States]] and [[England]].
 
There has also been an influx of Brazilian students who have come to attend Australian universities. These students come independent of their families on study visas, and usually go home after completion of their studies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cts.hss.uts.edu.au/students06/Group3finalcut/A%20Brief%20History.html|title=A Brief History of Brazilian Immigration to Sydney|work=cts.hss.uts.edu.au|date=13 November 2006|access-date=16 June 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090912073236/http://cts.hss.uts.edu.au/students06/Group3finalcut/A%20Brief%20History.html|archive-date=12 September 2009}}</ref> Brazilians have become the largest source of international student enrollments in Australia outside of Asia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crikey.com.au/2014/02/14/arriba-why-are-we-a-trendy-destination-for-latin-american-students/|title=Arriba!
