How about reducing the risk level of China students studying in Australia in April?

Australia has always been one of the most popular study options for China students. From the second half of 20 13 to the first half of 20 14, new policies for studying in Australia were introduced one after another, such as: ① opening junior high schools to China for the first time (visa 571); ② Open a 2-4 year work visa (PSW visa) without professional restrictions; ③ Simplify the risk level of visa assessment from level 5 to level 3, and reduce the margin requirement of the third risk level (AL3); ④ Simplified Student Visa Rules (SVP Plan) will be extended to non-university educational institutions with low immigration risk.

Australia has superior climatic conditions, developed social welfare, high teaching quality and high visa pass rate, and has obvious advantages in studying abroad and immigration. After the implementation of the favorable policy, the processing materials are simplified, the visa speed is accelerated, the cost of studying abroad is reduced, and the range of choices is broadened, which brings many substantial benefits to China students. Australia's study abroad market will be hot again.

1. The exchange rate has been lowered, reducing the cost of studying abroad.

2. Open young students to study abroad and develop practical education courses.

What is striking about this visa policy adjustment is that junior high schools are opened to study in China for the first time. After graduating from the sixth grade, you can apply for an Australian 57 1 student visa and enter the seventh grade (Grade One). However, the Immigration Bureau has restrictions on age, that is, the seventh grade must be less than 15 years old, the eighth grade less than 16 years old, and the ninth grade less than 17 years old. For technical courses (TAFE courses, 572 classes), you can apply after finishing the second year of high school and only after graduating from high school. In addition, the allowable length of language courses has been increased to 30 weeks, and the IELTS requirement has been reduced from 5.0 to 4.5.

At the same time, some non-university higher education institutions that can provide undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral courses with low immigration risk have been added to SVP visas, including TAFE College in New South Wales, and vocational colleges such as TAFE College and Helmsgren Government Institute of Technology in South Australia, so students will be more flexible in choosing courses. After graduation, foreign students in TAFE universities also enjoy the new deal of PSW in Australia, and they can get a work visa for at least two years after studying for more than two years.

3. The deposit is reduced and the application procedures are simplified.

The new measures will reduce the financial aid requirement for students of Grade III from 65,438+08 months to 65,438+02 months. However, in view of this change, the funds for the third-level trial of applicants must be provided by the applicant himself or his close relatives.

Under the New Deal, regardless of nationality, visa type and courses to be studied, visa applicants with COE issued by educational institutions participating in simplified visa processing procedures will be considered according to the first-level risk level. Previously, only American and British students enjoyed this kind of treatment. These measures have improved the convenience of visa application, and the fastest time for electronic visa approval is 7-9 days.

After the risk level of visa assessment is simplified, the requirements of Australian Immigration Bureau for China students' language scores, financial strength, study experience and other application materials will be relatively reduced, which will greatly improve the speed and pass rate of high school students' visas to Australia.

4. Improve the right to work during the study period and relax the graduation work visa.

Working hours are changed from 20 hours a week to no more than 40 hours every two weeks, making working hours more flexible.

At the same time, in order to encourage international students to work locally, the Post-graduation Work Visa (PSW) breaks the professional and age restrictions and allows international students to work in Australia after graduation. Among them, the validity period of work visas for teaching bachelor's degree and master's degree graduates is 2 years, the validity period of work visas for research master's degree graduates is 3 years and the validity period of work visas for doctoral degree graduates is 4 years. Compared with the 485 visa, PSW applicants do not need to make professional nominations according to the SOL, which is suitable for students of any major.
