Getting a 'permit' to stay in Australia is necessary. I knew there were several things that could be done and one of them was potentially a de fecto visa.

But of course, if I could, I should avoid that. There's other visas I could potentially apply for as well.. one, really: work visa. Then again, employers wouldn't want to employ me if I don't have a pr because they will be responsible of applying for my stay in Australia. I, don't have an asset that they need that they have to buy my stay with them. They can easily employ locals.

Turmoil.

But thank you for finally looking into it. At least now I know it's not only me who wants to stay in Australia. At least now I know I have a better chance in staying here too.

Ps. Australia doesn't need an asian zoology graduate. My main reason why applying for a PR alone is not going to work.
