Question CONFUSED-PLEASE HELP.

Here goes,
we dont know where to start or if its possable!
We want to go to the sunshine coast, our only option (i think) is a sudent visa..From what ive been reading with 2 kids age 11 & 13 this is gonna be costly. I want to enrol on a hairdressing 2 year course and other half wants to buy a business. Can he do this or does the 20 hour work still apply?
Also how long is enrolement times, does the colleges have plenty of spaces?
What sort of time scale should we be looking at? We have so many questions but seem to go round in circles. If hubby starts a business could this help with PR? Do people get sent home? What ratio of people dont get their PR, nobody seems to discuss the against options but the student visa is an expensive route for a family of four. Does anybody know after completing the college course and whilst gaining the work experience do you still have to pay school fees and medical care or are you then on a temp work visa. It all seems very confusing. Does anyone know of an agent that does not charge for advice on student visas?
ANY ADVICE WILL BE VERY WELCOME.
THANKS
JULIE

The best advice anyone can give you is for you to speak with a MARA registered agent. Most will give you a free initial consult and can discuss what your options are.

As Dorothy said, if its gonna be costly, then shell out on some good honest upfront advice 1 on 1 with a registered migration agent.

Good Luck
