Fake Indian students who were brazenly exploiting Australia’s visa system have complained they’ve been left out of pocket after their fake colleges were shut down.

The Australian government in August ordered the closure of 150 “ghost colleges” – fake schools that take fees from international students who never attend classes but work full-time instead – and sent warning notices to 140 more.

Upset visa scammers have since complained to Indian newspaper The Tribune, which confirmed that some of the shut-down colleges were co-owned by or cooperating with migration agents in Punjab to provide international students with “backdoor immigration and work rights”.

“I came to Australia two years ago as a student after being assured that I can work five days a week, while my attendance and course would be taken care of. Now, I have been told by my Punjab-based agent that the government has sealed the college,” one fake student told the publication.

“The agent who sent us here has already shut operations in March after being booked in a visa cheating case.”

Another complained that she and her brother were shocked after suddenly being ordered to report back to their ghost college after moving to Adelaide to work in a café.

“The authorities later shut the college. Till now, we have no idea how to handle the situation. We have already paid the entire course fee,” said.

Migration agents also confirmed that they were being affected by the Australian crackdown and similar actions taken by the Canadian government, but said they expected to find a way around the situation.

“I have already shut my operations in Punjab, after Canada and Australia tightened the noose around study visas. Many private colleges in Canada and Australia have funding from agents like us,” said one agent who admitted sending hundreds of fake students to Australia.

“We have told the students not to panic and there will be a way out soon.”

Needless to say, it isn't only student visas that are scammed by third worlder.

Australia’s courts and tribunals are bracing for tens of thousands of international students to appeal against the refusal or cancellation of their visas, amid concerns that foreign visa-holders are gaming the system to circumvent a federal government push to slash net migration.

Anthony Albanese has been warned that the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and courts will “drown” in appeals from onshore international students whose visas have been or are in the process of being cancelled or refused by the Department of Home Affairs. With almost 700,000 international students currently in the country, The Australian can reveal the AAT has already been swamped with visa review applications, which can take years to process and are often lead to appeals in federal courts.

New AAT figures show the number of international students who lodged reviews of their student visa refusal or cancellation between September 1 last year and August 31 soared to 15,754, compared with just 2244 the year before. In July and August this year, 4863 appeals against student visa decisions were lodged with the AAT, more than double the number lodged in the entire 2022-23 financial year.

The Australian understands many of the international students lodging applications to review their visa refusals and cancellations are from India and China.

I bring you the Guest Worker Visa to fill a specified spot ...... a genuine vacancy ... how many of those 'students' come here and set up a lucrative business with all tax concessions etc and fade later without paying a cent?

Asutralia - Hte Smrat Cuonty!

**on this occasion, refrains from referencing 'inclusion' and 'affirmative action' to install those who 'speak-a da lingo etc' in positions where they make decisions on visas and such... not me - I wouldn't mention another failing of 'inclusive' policies and social science mis-managed politics...

No speak-a da English = 1 stripe
No come-a from-a English-a-speak-a background = 2 stripes
Speak-a da same lingo as foreigners prepared to pay me to get here = 3 stripes
Be sheila = 4 stripes
Be Sallow = 5 stripes
Have disability mental or physical = 6 stripes (and that's only customs and immigration etc)**

‘Concerns’ about ‘over-representation’ of foreign students in academic misconduct cases

The top-ranked Australian university internationally, with one of the highest numbers of foreign students, has reported an “increasing over-representation” of such students in academic misconduct cases.

In the University of Melbourne’s latest academic misconduct report, written in July 2024 and released recently under an FOI request, 75 per cent of reported academic misconduct cases in 2023 involved international students, despite them making up about 42 per cent of total students.

At the University of Sydney, close to 80 per cent of student misconduct cases received by the Student Affairs Unit in 2023 identified student visa holders as respondents – more than 10 times the number for domestic students.

And that's just the ones that get caught.

Diversity, eh?

1stborn in her 2nd week of uni.
She reports most of the international students can barely speak English, have zero participation in discussions during tutorials.

So far they've all been grouped unto local and international for group work as the lecturers are distinctly non woke.

Public Universities Australia – a group of more than 200 old-school academics including eminent professors of science and medicine – criticised the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) for failing to monitor the standard of university degrees.

“There is ongoing slippage of academic standards with failure by TESQA to contain that slide,’’ they state in a scathing submission to the Senate education committee. “There is degraded assessment … (and) increased risk from artificial intelligence. Universities … tend to pass and graduate most students irrespective of the level of education actually achieved. There are manifestly worsening gaps in graduates’ basic knowledge and skills. This is nothing less than a dumbing down of the entire country.’’

The academics accused universities of enrolling international students who struggle to speak English, and blasted schools for failing to prepare high school graduates for university.

The failure to mandate the content of degrees places public safety at risk, they warned, as university qualifications are not as robust as they were before the Hawke-era education minister John Dawkins introduced student loans and opened the door to mass enrolments in the late 1980s.

“This means no medical graduate from any Australian university today is as well-educated and trained as they were pre-Dawkins, and that doctors’ competence is less reliable as a result,’’ the submission states.

“No schoolteacher is as well qualified as we expect, and often will not have ever studied some of the content they are then expected to be able to teach. No clinical psychologist is now adequately educated and trained … no law graduate, no engineering graduate, no historian or anybody else is as well educated by our universities as they ought to be. This puts Australians’ lives at risk when we depend upon the quality of their education.’’

International student arrivals hit a new record high last month despite repeated promises from the Australian government that it would bring down numbers and reduce immigration in general.

According to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 201,490 foreigners arrived on student visas in February, a 15% increase on the same month last year, and 10% more than the previous record set in February 2019 under the previous Coalition government.

The record arrivals come after the Labor pledged to reduce migration during the 2022 election campaign, only to preside over the arrival of about 1.5 million immigrants since the election in May last year, dwarfing its own migration forecasts.

The number of international students contesting a visa refusal or cancellation decision with the appeals body rose to 26,687 at the end of February, having risen from 24,933 in January, 24,087 in December and 22,162 in November. In August 2023, the backlog was at 2244.

Overseas student caps have emerged as a key point of difference in the election campaign, with Peter Dutton vowing earlier this month to limit international students to 240,000 by capping the proportion of foreign enrolments at 25 per cent.

The appeals backlog would pose significant problems to whichever party won the election as the build up of cases before the ART meant that more temporary visa-holders remained onshore while their case was processed by the tribunal.

You can’t have the backlog of the Administrative Review Tribunal just blowing out, and out, and out. One obvious implication is, you won’t get the student and temporary entry departures that you’re forecasting if they’re all stuck in the ART.

Needless to say, you, the Australian Taxpayer, are funding all these foreigners's appeals after the initial application fee of $3,500. They have full, unlimited working rights during the appeals process that typically takes more than a year, often much longer.
