Is it possible to obtain Australian Permanent Resident after Diploma study? What visa options are available after completing 2 years of diploma study?
If your ultimate goal is to apply for General Skilled Migration, by completing 2 years of Diploma study in Australia such as a Certificate III & IV in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) followed by a Diploma in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery), you will be able to add an extra five points in your points tally. The five points may be small but it could be what makes you eligible for permanent residency and it could be the last five points you need.
If you hold an Australian Diploma qualification, you will most certainly be given a further 10 points to add towards your total tally when counting up your score for General Skilled Migration.
If you study a Diploma outside of Australia, you need to have your qualification assessed and deemed to be the same standard as an Australian Diploma qualification and this can cost time and money.
If you complete your Diploma studies in an Australian regional area, you may be eligible to add a further 5 points to your total tally for General Skilled Migration.
This means that by studying a Diploma in Australia, you could be eligible for up to 20 points towards your total points tally for General Skilled Migration.
Considering you require 60 points in total to be eligible, 20 points in return for studying an Australian Diploma is a very good reward.
On the completion of your studies, if your occupation that you have recently become qualified to perform is listed on a list drawn up and reviewed by the Australian state governments, you will be eligible to contribute another 5 points towards your total tally towards a General Skilled Migration visa.
Pathway to Permanent Resident After 2 Years Of Diploma Study

After you complete your 2 years of Diploma studies, if your occupation is listed on another list drawn up and reviewed by the government on an annual basis, you may also be eligible for the Graduate visa program.
This visa will allow a visa holder to work in Australia for up to 18 months. The Graduate visa program makes it easier for fresh graduates to gain Australian working experience and can act as a pathway to another temporary or permanent working visa.
Another advantage to having Australian Diploma qualifications is that as an international student and a skilled worker, your qualifications will make your profile more appealing to Australian businesses and organisations and they may be willing to hire you and sponsor you on a working visa.
You will be increasing your chances of gaining Australian employment by studying for an Australia qualification/s.
