At this point, the education institute will assess your files and offer you a placement based on the submitted application.


3. Receiving the Letter of Offer

After applying for the course of your choice, the Institute is going to assess and consider your application. This process takes time from a few weeks to months depending on the number of applications and the qualification that you are applying for. You should review the Letter of Offer carefully and make sure to comply all of them. The Letter of Offer is a contract between you and the institution. It sets out the course you will be enrolled in, enrolment conditions, the fees you need to pay, and other terms and conditions.

7. Wait for the Australian Student Visa grant decision

After all the documents and requirement have been submitted and fulfilled, the immigration case officer will make the decision on the student visa application.
