Let's talk about the jargon "May PR pathway" This is kinda vague. Let's dig deeper.

So what's really that *pathway* they are talking about?

For this post, I will cover General Skilled Migration visas (491/189/190). Being "skilled" means your job is found in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) list be it under MLTSSL/STSOL/ROL. You may skip if you are after for employer sponsored visas like 186/494.

One factor to consider first in the Student to PR journey is the skills assessment and the appropriate assessing body. If you are not familiar with skills assessment, then that pathway you think may not really be a pathway at all. Most agencies/agents can only assist you on getting that Subclass 500. But well, that's their job - to assist you regarding study purposes *only* , then eventually you'll do your own hustle towards PR.

Certificate and diploma courses are usually the stepping stone for most international students because they are the viable option financially, meaning, affordable for an international student especially coming from a third world country like the Philippines. Real talk.
Common scenario is the Cert IV + Diploma. Why is this? Why are we needing more time on studies? That is to qualify for graduate visa 485. And that needs atleast 92 weeks of study in Australia. (check comment section more about meeting the Australian Study Requirement (ASR) ).
Now, you've completed 2 academic years (at least 92 weeks), here comes 485 visa. Take note that at present, average processing time of a graduate work visa is more than a year, that means to lawfully stay in Australia while 485 is being processed, you will be usually granted "bridging visa" provided that you applied for it before your substantive visa expires.

Now, what is the salient factor to be considered for 485 graduate visa?
• First, the course you studied must be CRICOS registered. Well most education providers do. But wait...
Let's go back to skills assessment! The course you studied may be CRICOS registered BUT the school/ institution you studied is not acccredited/provisionally accredited by the assessing body. Now, that's where it gets frightening!
You may have applied for skills assessment prior to lodging 485 visa but later on result wouldn't turn out positive— means you did not qualify and/or not having satisfied the assessing authority's requirements, one of which is the school being accredited/provisionally accredited. That ground alone is crucial. And this is the case for some international studies, they thought they would qualify for 485 grad visa while on bridging visa, but later on refused. And at this point, it's too late. Skills assessment is a *major* factor to permanent residency for the General Skilled Migration visas. Remember, you will not get a *positive* skills assessment if your school is not accredited/provisionally accredited. And know that the accreditation may change from time to time.

So, that's how important it is to have knowledge on skills assessment. Do not rush and patiently study and research how Australian skilled migration works.
I hope you learned something.
Ingat!
