Courses that can lead to a PR in Australia

Australia, one of the famous international destinations for higher studies and permanent residency, stands out in the crowd when it comes to student preferences. Most students intend to stay in Australia permanently after completing their degrees because they believe it to be a secure, accepting, and supportive environment to live and study.
