Courses that can lead to permanent residency in Australia

At the start of every financial year, the Department of Home Affairs in Australia provides a list of occupations in demand. While the circumstances of every student are different and will need to be individually assessed, these courses can serve as a guide to finding a pathway to permanent residency.

In order to live and work in Australia on a permanent resident visa (PR), there are various options for candidates. Three of the most common pathways are;

  • Employer Nomination Scheme
  • Skilled Migration Program
  • State Nomination
  • Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme

Students aiming to settle in Australia permanently should consider selecting the right course which eventually will lead to a profession in demand in the coming years. All the qualifications and work experience need to be assessed by relevant bodies in order to be considered as relevant to the chosen occupation.
