Ways open for students from the USA to get Australia PR in 2022

American students in Australia are not just foreigners who seek the unique benefits of studying in Australia but are often those who wish to immigrate to Australia.

American students are attracted to study in Australia for reasons like the high quality of education with a global reputation for excellence, cheaper study and lesser expenses of living, and strong links of the USA with the Asia-Pacific region of which Australia is the fastest growing economy.

Australia also gives a great deal of opportunity to graduates who complete studies in Australia to immigrate to the country. It’s relatively easier for international students to immigrate to Australia.

The basics of immigrating to Australia

International students who want to go ahead with Australia immigration must apply for a visa via Australia’s SkillSelect program. This program is managed by the Dept. of Immigration and Border Protection. International students can submit an EOI for a skilled visa meeting the following conditions:

• Be aged between 16 and 49 years
• Give personal information as required by the portal
• Give information about education and work experience
• Have a nominated occupation
• Provide details of skill assessment for the nominated occupation
• Give information on their proficiency in the English language
• Give information on business and investment experience

The SkillSelect system passes the EOI through an automated system that sends out invitations to apply for visas to candidates with the highest rankings.
