NB1912:

I respectfully disagree with your perspective. While it's true that the new student visa policy hasn't been implemented yet, there is emerging evidence suggesting a rise in student visa rejections recently. This trend seems to align with the government's expressed intentions to curtail the influx of newcomers in light of the ongoing housing crisis.

Consider the statistics: the number of international students in the country has doubled to nearly 700k in just three years. Given this significant increase, it's reasonable to infer that the forthcoming policy changes might indeed have an indirect influence on the current visa application process, especially for those applying from overseas. In my view, overlooking this potential connection could be an oversight.

penitential:
The new policies are as stated below.

1. Post graduate temporary visa applicant age is cut down from 50-35. This is to imply that if you’re over 35 after graduation, you should go home.

2. If you’re on post graduate temporary work visa, you can’t convert back to study visa( remember, most people, after finishing study and couldn’t get a nomination for either state sponsorship, employer sponsorship and 189 visa tend to convert back to study visa just to buy more time).

3. Fast processing time for skilled employment sponsor visa.

4. Post graduate work visa cut down from 5 years to 3 years, as it may apply to either bachelor, masters or phd.

The only policy that has affected oversea applicant is the raise in IELTS band score.

So, how has those policies aimed at refusing student visa?

As much as you may have a point ins saying that, you should consider the policies with it direct implication.

My course has all this international and global titles at the back so I made sure to highlight I will be seeking to work in multinational companies like MTN,Dangote and co when am back and quoted the possible salary too per annum in foreign currency, I also listed five properties that were worth more than 70millon as economic ties and provided their documents too, though I listed all and their value in the SOP and provided all documents but my agent only submitted documents for three. Make sure to get a strong convincing SOP, mine was corrected up to 3times with suggestions on what to do and remove or add by my agent and their review team. The corrections and time delay was even what made me not to apply till after a month then, I was even angry with the agent that she is delaying me but thank God it paid off and we got a strong SOP afterwards! Better than rushing and submitting something not convincing enough .
