Intelligent Overseas Education Permanent Residency Update: In its report on Australia’s skilled migration programme, a federal parliamentary committee proposed significant reforms to the process through which skilled migrants and foreign students are given permanent residency in Australia.

A federal parliamentary committee recently suggested that Australia provide a more easy road to permanent residency for skilled migrants and high-achieving overseas students studying in the country. Earlier this week, the Joint Standing Committee on Migration released its final report on the nation’s skilled migration programme, which included numerous recommendations for how the federal government might enhance the programme going forward.
