Hi, I'm a UK citizen. I did an MA and PG Dip in Oz and in total I studied for nearly 2 years which is the minimum time required to apply for PR. It's tough going. Australian law constantly changes (about every 3 months when I was there) and there are condtions such as where someone can live and what job vacancies are required to be filled at the time of procesing your PR application. You need to be able to prove that you can support yourself financially throughout your study period. Student working hours are limited to 20 hours per week. I also found that nationality plays a part in whether your application is successful. That's to say, at one given time they'll favour a Chinese person and the next week another nationality. It's a very fickle and biased system in my experience. There are other ways to go about it such as Skilled Sponsored Migration Visa. The most important advice I can give to you is make sure your Masters' degree is useful and can be used to find work Australia. Don't just study anything in order to try and get PR because it won't work. You MUST have some thing to offer Australia if you want Australia to accept you. A few years have passed since I was there so maybe some things have changed. Check with DIMIA. Hope this helps. Col

Do I go during school year and learn at Australian schools? Can I go with a friend? I am very interested in Australia and would love to go on a student exchange!

Usual paperwork, birth certificates mainly. If it's to be in a church you will need a baptism certificate. You just apply for a marriage licence. Look it up on an Australian government website eg Births deaths and Marriages website.

no

getting married isn't the problem....One can always get married anywhere in the world. The real question is where will you both live., If he is on a student visa, and you decide to re-locate w/him in Australia, you would become a dependent/spousal student visa (not sure what the proper term for this)....but bottom line, you wont be able to work there.
