The international student population in Australia has currently surpassed the 700000 mark. More than 2.8 million temporary residents have also entered the country in the past one year. The prime minister of Australia has acknowledged the influx of international students and has said that the pandemic has played a major role because there was no immigration for at least two years. Students had been waiting to pursue their higher education and as soon as the travel was allowed, students started going to foreign countries in huge numbers. At the same time, the result rejection rate for international students is all-time high in Australia. In the month of February, more than 50,000 student applications were rejected by Australia.
