International students and Permanent residence options 

There are many international students who want to apply for permanent residency in  Australia after they have completed their studies. These students choose to migrate to Australia  through the Skill Select migration program. With the help of Skill Select, you can either  be invited by the Australian government to submit a visa application or you can be  nominated for a skilled visa by various Australian employers or state governments. In  simple words, Skill Select simplifies the visa application process and improves skilled  migrants’ employment prospects. 

To obtain the Australia Permanent Visa through skilled migration, you should score  enough points in the evaluation grid. Minimally, a candidate has to score 60 points  comprising age, work, qualification, experience etc. 

This visa category is for people who have the skills that Australia requires or the ones  who are seeking sponsorship by an Australian employer to work in Australia. International  students can apply for any one of the following permanent visa options under this  workstream: 

• Subclass 189 Skilled Independent Visa: This visa is a point tested visa that does  not require any territory or State nomination. If you are an international student  who has graduated in Australia and you are not sponsored by any employer or  relative, then you can apply for the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189). 
• Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated Visa: This visa is suitable for skilled workers  who have been nominated by a territory or state government agency. To be eligible  for this visa, you will need to prove that you have an appropriate skills assessment for the occupation listed in the Skilled Occupation List. 
• Subclass 491 Skilled Regional Visa: To be eligible for this visa, you must get a  sponsorship, fulfil skill requirements, or receive a nomination from either an  Australian region, state, or territory. 

The minimum points to receive an invitation depends also on the occupation that you  choose. Some professions on the skilled occupation list are more competitive than others.  Usually, it is easier to receive an invitation for PR with an occupation that is in very high  demand, and not many people have the qualifications and skills needed.

Australia PR processing time is solely based on application to application and other  related factors like: 

• Number of applications received by the immigration department • Complexity and simplicity of your application profile 
• Number of places in your skilled migration visa category 
• Complete and accurate application form 
• Delay due to the incomplete submission of document kit 
• Other inquiries as and when asked by the immigration department 

As per the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, the general waiting time for  Australia PR is around 8 months-12 months. Though it is slightly more difficult to get PR  in Australia now, it is suggested to individuals to shape an academic and professional  career in a way that is in sync with the requirements of the country/region. If you can  provide value to the country/region as a citizen from your skill-sets and experience, PR  pathway is surely easy.
