According to the Australian Population Research Institute (APRI) over 48,000 student visas were cancelled across Australia in the last three years for reasons including breach of work conditions and character grounds.
During 2016-17, about 200,000 foreign students received new visas, including 37,759 who transferred to the temporary graduate 485 visa allowing them to stay in Australia with full-time work rights for at least two years. At least 39,945 former student visa holders got tourist visas, 10,685 scored the temporary skilled 457 visa, 8199 got to stay as spouses or betrothed of locals, and 864 convinced authorities that they were asylum seekers.
