PR stands for Permanent Residency and for many students it is really hard to get this. As you need really really good English. Ie: a band of 7.5. With Permanent residency you can work more hours and you might be eligible for concessions.
You also need to hold down a career that is most in demand and that you have studied at University. YOu'll need a letter from University as well as the transcript of results. This can be really hard as many jobs are going in the big companies at the moment. Most of the careers in demand are engineers and doctors. There is a doctor shortage at the moment.
You also need to be a high achiever at university and not be at risk of exclusion.
But RMIT University has many careers fairs in place that attracts many students local and international. Some companies recruit international students and are willing to sponsor them.
With some of the TAFE courses being cut it will be harder to get PR here as internationals need to meet the skills requirements. TAFE is the only way for some students to gain some skills in order for this requirement to be met.
You need to complete one round of study in Australia before you can apply. It has to be 24 months or more of study and you should apply in the last six months of your studies as applications can take a while.

It is getting even harder to gain PR (Permanent Residency) as you either need to be sponsored by an Australian employer or have gotten really good marks and a good IELTS score to get this (Independent Skilled Migration). As well as working in Regional Australia for a period of time.
According to the Age (1/10/12) "Time for bosses to adopt a more worldly view" gaining sponsorship is quite hard and rigourous as no one wants to give International students sponsorship. Not even RMIT. Most employers would want somebody with Permanent Residency.
It is hard for students to find decent jobs in Melbourne as it has been for years.
But for an International student to gain that they have to have 65 points. These are based on good English, working in a rural area, completing a degree for the skills in need. For the English skills students need to achieve a band of 8 in IELTS for all the components. This is really hard for locals such as myself hence this would be even harder for international students.
It is an offense to live here and work illegally. To live here illegally without a visa would mean that you would be kicked out of the country and the employer might face fines of up to $13000 per worker.
