Australian Student Visa - One of the most important immigration information for Australia that people planning to move into the country need to know is all about its educational system. |
Last year, the Australian student visa program was one of the most talked about among the numerous immigration programs being handled by the Department of immigration and Citizenship. Indeed, the changes that the department has made on the program had a significant effect in the foreign student community. Thus, many incoming students from other countries are hoping that this year would be a good one to enroll in Australia.
It should be noted that the DIAC actually began implementing the changes in the student visa program since late 2009. However, it was during last year when the more major ones started to take effect. One of these major changes was the reorganization of the courses that can be granted visas under the program. The reorganization was a result of the revamp made in the related skilled migration program.
As there are a lot of foreign students enrolled in many of the courses that were removed, they have no choice but to return home to their countries. This has resulted in a significant drop in the number of enrollments in many tertiary institutions. In particular, the Indian foreign student population dropped from more than 100,000 to just around 29,000, the biggest drop during that year.
Another cause for the drop in the number of foreign students was the new set of requirements implemented for the program. One of these requirements is an increased level of English proficiency but, as many of these students come from non-English speaking countries, this certainly has become quite a problem for them. There is also the issue of increased financial requirements for student visa applicants.
Aside from the students themselves, the education industry has also been concerned about the effects of these changes into their business. As it is, these educational institutions derive a large part of their income from foreign students. The significant drop in the number of enrollments last year has certainly had and effect on them.
Thus, both these groups were relieved to learn that the DIAC will be conducting a review of the changes that they implemented last year. The announcement actually came in the midst of clamor coming from these groups to reverse these changes.
According to department officials, they are conducting the review in order to not only address the concerns of both groups, but also to assess which of these changes have indeed worked as they had hoped for. The department also said that this would be an opportunity for them to determine what kind of changes can still be done in the program.

Professulas love foreign students because they are servile and do not make the professulas work for their paycheck. The professullas don’t care about students, they only care about their grant grubbing parasitism at taxpayer expense. They want all their students to be commy nutty ochronosers like Obama, not get real jobs. So many foreign born professullas fled to the USA because we are better but then they have the audacity to insist we become like the places they fled.
UPI June 6, 1992 Sovern took over at Columbia after student protests of 1968 and New York's fiscal problems in the '70s resulted in less financial support for the school, a situation made more dire by recent federal government budget cuts. . . But Columbia will be looking for a new president in a period troubled by criticism for destroying records that were being reviewed for improprieties. Universities in general have been under greater scrutiny for how they charge the government for federally sponsored research.

The Independent October 2, 2010 New charges for 'Dean of Mean' over slave students David Usborne Pg. 32 WHEN STUDENTS at St John's University in New York received a work assignment from Dean Cecilia Chang, the chances were it had less to do with learning than with preparing her lunch - or shovelling snow... specifically targeted students with scholarships, many from overseas, saying they would lose them if they didn't fulfil the household chores she ordered.
Melbourne Age July 15, 2009 Foreign students 'slave trade'; Colleges exploit quest for residency Nick O'Malley, Heath Gilmore and Erik Jensen Pg. 6 THOUSANDS of overseas students are being made to work for nothing - or even pay to work - by businesses exploiting loopholes in immigration and education laws in what experts describe as a system of economic slavery. The vast pool of unpaid labour was created in 2005 when vocational students were required to do 900 hours work experience. There was no requirement that they be paid.
Washington Post March 31, 2006 Most See Visa Program as Severely Flawed Mitra Kalita D01 In a working paper released this week, Harvard University economist George J. Borjas studied the wages of foreigners and native-born Americans with doctorates, concluding that the foreigners lowered the wages of competing workers by 3 to 4 percent. He said he suspected that his conclusion also measured the effects of H-1B visas. "If there is a demand for engineers and no foreigners to take those jobs, salaries would shoot through the roof and make that very attractive for Americans," Borjas said. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers-USA says H-1B salaries are lower. "Those who are here on H-1B visas are being worked as indentured servants. They are being paid $13,000 less in the engineering and science worlds," said Ralph W. Wyndrum Jr., president of the advocacy group for technical professionals, which favors green-card-based immigration, but only for exceptional candidates.

A former software engineer now working as a teacher or a real estate agent doesn't count in the statistics... employers unwilling to hire older engineers, even if they've retrained themselves... The AFL-CIO, in a February position paper, argued that H-1Bs and other loopholes allow employers ``to turn permanent jobs into temporary jobs.
The students are privilege to get student visa's in Australia. Getting a visa is difficult but needs patience, and the
PR Renewal has to undergo processes.
