How long do you want to stay in Australia to get a green card?

The ultimate goal of Australian immigrants is to get an Australian green card. However, not all Australian immigration programs can get green cards directly. Some immigration projects need to stay for two years, or applicants need to meet certain living conditions. If you want to become an Australian citizen, you must get a green card before you can apply for naturalization.
