Student Visa Australia (Subclass 500) is your pathway to
world class education

The quest for attaining academic excellence and global expertise drives many students to pursue higher education in countries abroad. Countries like Australia and Canada have also relaxed their visa rules and opened their doors to international students willing to pursue higher education. One of the popular visas for studying in Australia is the Student Visa Subclass 500. This Student visa allows international students to live in Australia for upto 5 years to undertake full term education and training in Australia.

WHAT IS STUDENT VISA AUSTRALIA (SUBCLASS 500)?

The Student visa 500 entitles its holder with a few services. Certain privileges are allowed to the holder of the Student Visa 500 simultaneously.  Let us have a sneak peek into the services provided:

  • The student visa 500 allows the student to undertake a full term study course in Australia registered under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Some provisions and entitlements are ensured to the student through this visa.
  • Including a family member is allowed in the visa application. (Family members can be the spouse/partner or the applicant’s dependent child/children.

ELIGIBILTY CRITERIA FOR STUDENT VISA 500:

The Student Visa 500 comes with a lot of facilities for the international students during their stay in Australia. The international students are expected to abide by a few rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are as follows;

  • In case if the student is applying for multiple courses, he/she needs to provide a Confirmation of Enrollment (COE) Letter for every single course. This visa application needs to include this element of multiple courses in it otherwise, the visa will be issued only for the courses mentioned in the visa application.

Had a nice experience with the CanOz team. Applied for PR with them. My case was different as I lost my passport while the application was in process. Had to explain to IRCC and request for PNP point transfer and all. The team did the necessary things to make sure my application would not get rejected. Harsimrat ma’m really understood my situation and were supportive throughout the process. Thank you team!

I highly recommend CanOz Visa Services because they are really helpful and they are doing excellent job. I got my PR this year and the entire process was completed in just 6-7 months. The process was so smooth just because of them, especially Harsimrat who provided invaluable support. Her guidance is really appreciated. I am really happy and fully satisfied with their services. If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services.

Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!

My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh’s recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
