You become eligible to apply for Australian citizenship after you have lived here for at least 4 years including at least 1 year as a Permanent Resident. During the 4 years, you must have spent no more than 1 year in total out of the country including no more than 90 days in the year immediately before applying. Getting the PR is the hard part of the citizenship process - without PR, you can never become a citizen, no matter how long you live in Australia. http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/how_to_apply/conferral_app_process/ Citizenship application process Of course you can work in Australia without being a citizen, but you CANNOT work without a work visa and apart from working holiday visas for young people from eligible countries, work visas are very hard to get. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/visa-options.htm Working holiday visa options http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/ Skilled work visa options - there are no work visas for unskilled workers or for people whose occupation is not listed as eligible for a work visa.

As Oz said. Unless you are eligible for the WHV you will not be able to work in Australia if you have not already applied for and been given a work visa - they take a couple of years to come through so if you do not have one now you will not be able to get one by your November timeline.
