Is Cracking Australia Permanent Resident Visa a Tough Nut for International Students? - Visa Tech Many of us dream of living and working abroad, but the reality can be very different from what we expect. For an increasing number of international students, moving to Australia to live and work after their studies isn’t possible anymore. This can have devastating effects on international students who rely on studying abroad to secure their future and increase their options after graduation. A recent report titled “Migrants in the Australian workforce” says that immigration policies are becoming more challenging for international students. One in five fail to transition to permanent visas, and there are significant drawbacks to temporary work visas. Immigrants only account for seven per cent of the Australian workforce. Before the border closure, there were more international students in Australia than ever before but with a fewer permanent skilled visas available. This only tells us that it’s harder now to gain permanent access for international students than in the past.
