should I apply for Student visa or apply for PR and wait for a year to come to Australia?

This questions seems to be a common one and making appropriate choice is even tougher,as there isn't any right or wrong way.

In my opinion Australian immigration laws are tougher as compared to 7-8 years ago and simply completing your Australian education doesn't guarantee a PR in Australia nowadays.

It comes up to your personal circumstances which would decide whether you should apply for student visa and come immediatly to Australia or wait another 1 year in your home country until your PR is being processed.

If you are still keen in applying student visa because of High standards of Australian Universities my opinion is to look for a course ,skill set which are in demand in Australia to increase your chances of PR later.See occupations-in-demand list.

Also its worth mentioning that living standards all over Australia are same and it doesn't really matter if you are in Adelaide,Perth or Sydney.At the end what matters is that you have a Job and you are able to pay your bills in your early days in Australia
