I always advice people that if they meet the general skilled migration pathway requirements, they’re better off taking that route vs student or working visa.
Hope this helps. All the best!

> Tama sabi nila, try 189, 190 and 489 visa...these are permanent resident visas na pwede apply-an ng mister mo. I applied for 189 visa in 2015 as Chemical Engineer and it is actually not difficult for as long as you got the required points. The bulk of the points will come from experience and education. Pero nung dumating ako ng Australia as a PR, the first thing I did is to study a postgraduate in Mechanical Engineering (Masters, coursework) in a reputable university (UNSW) cause I notice na mas marami opening for this type of engineer. Sulit naman after I graduated, I got a job in less than 2 months on a global engineering firm with 6digit annual salary (in AUD) for a start. Studying here is costly so make sure you have a solid plan...most of those studying some courses in a fly-by-night institution usually ended up not getting a PR visa with huge debt. Nag-aral lang ako cause I've got a commonwealth support sa UNSW.
Hi, just to clarify, 489 isn’t a permanent visa but more a provisional visa which would lead to a permanent one.
With regards to studying, I’m unsure what exactly you mean by fly-by-night institutions. As long as the course is accredited, which institution you study is irrelevant.
I went through student Visa as a pathway (won’t recommend it). I refused to do my studies in university because I knew it was costly. I was more strategic but back then (more than 10 years ago) it was way easier. I didn’t even work in my field of studies because it wasn’t required that time....fast forward, I’m now providing immigration advice to aspiring migrants.

sir, what is it like to study an engineering postgraduate course sa UNSW? pano ang schedule (distribution) ng uni? is it possible to work full-time (since wala nang limit now) & study an engineering postgraduate course at the same time?
TIA
