Have the drive to stay in Australia? Not sure how to upgrade your points to get a PR? The General Skilled Migration or GSM approval, under the ambit of the DHA is the key. General Skilled Migration, heavily relies on your score in the Points Test (except for Subclass 485, 476 and 887 visas) and which in turn counts on your skills and experience. Being a student alone does not make you General Skilled Migration eligible.
