Frequently asked questions
Does this guide guarantee a positive Genuine Student finding?
No. The Genuine Student criterion is a subjective test the Department applies to each application on the evidence as lodged. Section 15 of the Migration Agents Code of Conduct 2022 prohibits any guarantee of outcome by a registered migration agent.
Why a separate guide for applications from Bangladesh?
Country-specific practice notes are part of the published GS framework. The guide distils what tends to receive closer scrutiny in applications from Bangladesh — funding evidence, course-pathway logic, family-sponsor arrangements, and ties to home — and how to address those areas.
Is this migration advice for my specific application?
No. The guide is general information. It does not constitute migration advice for any specific person and purchase does not create a migration agent–client relationship.
