hi there just wanna ask something related. i am starting my
commerce course at uni melbourne nex year jan. after that i plan to
stay on to work and eventually migrate to australia. is that
feasible or very difficult to get? probably gonna work in the
banking industry sector which i see from aussie immigration website
is in a shortage of labour. all advice appreciated thanks. =)
I would not recommend a temp visa.
Australia's migration laws are very violatile and temp visas are
already not very well received by the local Aussies, who are
obviously the ones who call the shots as they wield actual voting
power.
A temp visa will require you to work 2 years before being
eligible to apply for a PR. Every Sep there is a change in the
migration law.
Simple example: Just before this Sep India was assessment level 3.
That means that they had to show 2 years of living expenses to
support themselves (or they will have most likely find an illegal
job if they do not have enough money to foot expenses). This Sep it
was changed to Assessment level 4, it became 3 years of
living expenses.
That is a shit load of money to consider for these Indians who
pay in rupees. Though you might think it isn't related to you, a
simple factor to consider is that their playing field was narrowed
so much so effectively more than 1/2 of the Indian migrants
automatically became ineligible to even get a student visa in lieu
of migrating here.
Likewise, you could be affected in the temp visa section if they
decided that any temp visa after the next Sep changes will no
longer be able to apply for a visa or its changed to 4 years.
Something like that.
It would be a very huge risk to want to extend the time period of
being 'in limbo' (what I call the instability of being on a student
visa/temp visa to get a PR as any changes could affect you.). Not
to mention the huge investment you would have already made if
you've been here 2 years, all settled and shit.
