Such applicants often have a very high success rate, because what the Immigration Bureau hopes to see is that after a period of language training in Australia, the applicant’s language skills have improved, and their competitiveness in returning to employment has improved. On the contrary, if it is clearly stated that after finishing the language study, you want to continue to study in Australia to study other courses, your visa will be refused in all likelihood. When the visa officer determines whether the application for studying in Australia is genuine, he will consider the background and personal circumstances of the applicant. For example, the Immigration Bureau requires the applicant’s bank deposit certificate, which can show that there is a consistent deposit history; the applicant’s real estate ownership certificate, or other proof of funds or assets; if the applicant is employed, provide proof of employment and a letter of approval. If the above supplementary materials cannot be provided, the application is likely to be refused or the review time will be increased
