"Many international students come to Australia with the hope of staying
permanently.

But our latest report, Graduates in limbo: International student visa pathways
after graduation
, shows that the rights Australia grants international
students to stay and work here after they graduate are too generous, offering
many false hope.

Australia offers graduating students much longer temporary visas than our main
competitors for international students, such as Canada, the UK and the US.

But many temporary graduate visa holders struggle to pursue their chosen
careers in Australia, with

* only half securing full-time employment
* most working in low-skilled jobs
* and half earning less than A$53,300 a year, compared to just one-third of all
graduates."
