Will it create any difference if I choose to get PR and settle in the country after my course completion in Australia for a Master's?

Yes, getting permanent residency (PR) and settling in a country after your Master's can affect your future study abroad options.

- PR status may limit student visa eligibility in other countries, as some immigration policies restrict PR holders from applying for new student visas.
- For example, in countries like the US and Australia, holding PR elsewhere can complicate or prevent student visa applications.

If you plan further studies abroad after obtaining PR, be aware that visa rules vary by country and are subject to change. It's important to align your long-term goals with these potential restrictions.

If you need personalized advice based on your future plans, please discuss this with your LeapScholar counsellor.
