Many students who come to Australia to work while studying part-time, or who need to renew their visa after their Subclass 485/WHV visa expires, often ask: Is it easy to find work in this or that occupation? Is the pay good? Will I really be able to find a job after I graduate?

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke touched on a wide range of migration and visa issues in an interview with Sky News yesterday — covering the New Zealand citizen stream, refugees, and temporary visas — before turning to graduating and soon-to-graduate international students. Many have had their Subclass 485 visa go to waste due to COVID-19 travel disruptions, given that this visa only offers one chance as a primary applicant, and — apart from those who graduated within a specific window while offshore — must be applied for within 6 months of graduation.

In terms of current visa processing speed, state-nominated categories managed by state governments are relatively fast — for example, the group of students who received NSW pre-invitations two weeks ago have, from last weekend through this week, received their formal nominations after submitting their complete documents, and the next step is lodging the visa application. Right now, apart from engineering/ICT/accounting plus PMSOL pandemic-era critical-skills occupations, most applications are stuck at the Department of Home Affairs' visa processing stage.

In this era of frequently changing Australian migration policy, a "flexible either way" study-abroad major (letting you work back home AND migrate) has become the must-have first choice for people completing their qualification in Australia. Being a migration major that also allows a return home for career development is the top priority for many students and parents alike!

Even before the pandemic, things were getting harder and harder. Picture someone adrift at sea, struggling to reach the shore — the difficulty back then was like a levee being built higher bit by bit. You kept swimming ahead, kept climbing, and even though you had to absorb blow after blow from that rising wall, at least you could see a direction, a target.

When it comes to working and studying part-time in Australia, we believe what students care about most is how to get this internationally recognised Australian qualification for the least amount of money, while also picking up a trade skill that makes it easy to find work. Many students assume they need to spend at least tens of thousands of dollars a year on tuition just to get a diploma in Australia, then go on to find a good job and migrate. If that's still what you think, you couldn't be more wrong — Australia has plenty of course options, and as long as you're keen to study in Australia, the door is always open for you. Today we've got a little treat for our readers: an introduction to this under-the-radar but very promising field — Australia's Carpentry program.

A misconception has long circulated that the PY validity period runs for four years from the date the certificate is issued. In fact, according to the legislators behind the Migration Act, that isn't quite right. Legally speaking, the PY validity period actually runs for four years from the start date of the PY (since a PY generally takes 10 months to complete, in practice the PY validity period works out to roughly 3 years and 2 months from graduation), and this is by no means nonsense. Today, I'll use the Migration Act to prove it. I'm confident that once you've read this, you'll agree with me.
