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.

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.

Is it possible to complete your intern year as a medical student in Australia, being from Ireland?

Is it possible to complete your intern year as a medical student in Australia, being from Ireland?

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.

You should contact the US Embassy in Sydney, but I'm sure that they will tell you that you will need to go back to your home country to apply at the US Embassy in Nepal. I'm sorry about that! But good luck with your studies.

My friend studied there for a semester. It is pretty cool. Newcastle is where he went and he had a blast. When you study abroad you take very minimal classes. My friend only had class 2 days a week. It is basically a looooong vacation. It costs a lot of money for all of the expenses but I am sure it is worth it. Expect a lot of beach and partying (if you're into that sort of thing)

Hey Australia's pretty cool, were all pretty laid back. Well school goes from 8:30 - 3:00, most school only have 6 periods and 6 subjects a day (the most is 8 at other schools). We get 2 lunch breaks, and homework depends on the subjects you take and the school you go to. School starts in January and finishes a couple of weeks before christmas, but we have 4 school terms which are 9-10 weeks and holidays in between those term (usually 1-3 weeks depends on the school again). There's heaps of great places in Australia - Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Cairns, Canberra. It really depends what your looking for, if you looking for more of a beach thing Sydney, Newcastle is better. Or amazing city's would be Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane! Well that's all i can really think of, hope i helped a bit! :) oh and no we don't ride kangaroo's to school

is it possible to cancel Australia student Visa after applying for other substantive visa?


is it possible to cancel Australia student Visa after applying for other substantive visa?
Currently I am holding student visa sub class 572, but I am eligible to apply for Skilled graduate visa SC 485, as I finished my 2 years study. Is it possible to cancel my student visa once I applied for Skilled graduate visa SC 485 ?

You have to be in Australia when your 485 visa is granted and you must have a visa in order to stay here. If you were to cancel your 572 student visa before being granted your 485, you would be here without a visa i.e. illegally. If your student visa expires before you get your 485, you will automatically be granted a bridging visa to enable you to stay here while you wait for a decision on your 485. If your 485 is granted while your 572 is still current, the granting of the new visa automatically cancels any existing visa.
