I am already a Permanent resident in Australia & would like to know if the time one spends in Australia on a student visa can be included in the 4 years that one has to spend in Australia to enable him to get qualified for becoming an Australian citizen? Thanks

Yes, your time on a student visa can be counted in the required 4 year period. Don't forget the additional requirement that you must had absences from Australia of no more than 12 months in total in the four (4) years prior to application, and no more than ninety (90) days in the 12 month permanent residency period prior to application.

if you are a PR in Australia already, you DO NOT NEED a student visa to study in Australia. As long as you STAY IN australia your time will count no matter what you do - except for being in prison I think.

Will a pregnant international student in Australia be asked to return home?

Will a pregnant international student in Australia be asked to return home?
I'm an international student in Victoria, and I am taking up a three month course, I recently found out that I'm almost 3 months pregnant, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pursue my studies because of this. I arrived in Australia about two weeks ago, which means that I was already pregnant when I got here but only found out lately.

nahhhhhhhhh this is Australia we dont care you could get pregnant here we still wouldn't care do the course have fun, hope the pregnancy goes well I am puzzled why you would think we would send you home for this ? just dont murder anyone
2 :
Women can study and be pregnant at the same time, make sure you visit a dr just to make sure you and the baby are all ok. Congratulations. You will have to watch the date of your return as some airlines will not allow a pregnant woman to fly much over her 7th month.

I am not familiar with Australian immigration laws, nor do I know if a baby born to an immigrant in Australia is automatically a citizen of Australia like they would be in the United States. However, I am willing to bet that two things will be considered: First, they will consider your health condition. I doubt they'd make you get on a plane or boat if a doctor says your health or the baby's health would be jeopardized. Second, your ability to extend the current visa would be another consideration. If you can extend it, they may see granting that as a way to permit you to stay that does not require them to recognize pregnancy as a reason to keep you there, as then they'd have to extend the same practice to other cases if they did cite pregnancy.
4 :
You will only be sent home if you fail to observe the conditions of your visa. If you continue attending your course and meeting its requirements, your being pregnant won't make the slightest difference.

No you are not. As it currently stands there are not enough intern places for all the graduates coming out of the university medical degrees. As such, from next year international students who completed their degree IN Australia are unlikely to be given an intern place - from the year after it will be 90% probable they have to return to their own country to complete the registration. So you will not be able to do your intern year in Australia.

They do seem rather good, my parents checked them out because im planning on going to england or france next year with them. but if you can, the best thing to do would be to go on exahcnge through your school, its normally much more reliable.
