International students are unlikely to be able to do that within five years, so that will explain some of the drop in numbers.
- At least one year in a study program
- Almost one year of work before you can apply for PR (more if you don't find a job immediately)
- 6-12 months for PR processing
- Two years of PR status required to apply
- 18 months for citizenship processing
That's six years plus ... I don't see how any of the students would be able to get citizenship within five years, even if they are super qualified and keen on staying.
