This month we feature two related stories about the changes to the
student visa procedures and policies for international students in
Australia. First, you can read in this press release on the website
for the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship about the changes
to the student visa systems, which in many cases make it tougher to
get a visa. The Minister, Senator Chris Evans, says: "This
latest round of changes strikes the right balance between making the
visa application process easier for genuine students while imposing
additional checks on those who may seek to abuse the system. The
latest measures include changes to the assessment of students
studying more than one course, increased powers to cancel visas and
streamlining the processing of postgraduate students."
Visit the Minister's
website to read the rest.
The next article, from The Hindu online, highlights
how thousands of Indian students are struggling to get back their
prepaid tuition fees from Australian educational institutions after
their visas were rejected, following the student visa changes
described in the article above.
