Work Rights, Careers & Settlement Opportunities

The most attractive feature of the Australian visa is the opportunity it offers to establish a career and to settle permanently in that country. Come to think of it, it’s often necessary for the student to work for a while after graduation, to get some working experience.

Now that I mention it, the priority given to ‘skills’ migration ensures that those with essential skills will have a higher chance of being admitted under the PRC scheme.

• High-quality graduates, a large number of whom are expected to have a higher income, are in.
