Do local employers recruit International Students (I am intending to apply for permanent residency)?
There have been significant changes to the immigration regulations since 1 July 1999 for international students who have completed an Australian degree, diploma or trade qualification and wish to apply for permanent resident status. Please check out the Department of Immigration’s website for further information athttp://www.immi.gov.au. The gradlink website also contains a large amount of very useful information athttp://www.gradlink.edu.au/content/view/full/148In the case of Australiangraduate recruitmentactivities, you will find that many local employers are looking to recruit local students or students who have already attained permanent residency status. However if you are particularly keen to apply to a specific employer, it is up to you as an individual to approach them and find out if you are eligible to apply.
