Many international students studying in Australia dream of one day becoming permanent residents and staying on in Australia for good. The most common pathway for students is to apply for General Skilled Migration on completion of their studies.

Unless Sameen can obtain permanent residency, she will need to leave Australia when her studies are completed. However, having recently converted to Christianity while in Australia, Sameen is concerned that she will be discriminated against if she returns to Iran. She therefore wants to stay and live permanently in Australia. (* name changed)
One option which may be available to Sameen is to make an application for protection (refugee status), which can be made while she is in Australia, but the outcome will depend on whether Sameen meets the definition of a refugee, as per the United Nations 1951 Convention that Australia has signed.
