1) Your medical expires after 1 year. So, you have to enter Australia before the date of your medical expiration. That is if you medical was done on 11 May, 2009 and you have been granted visa on 21st Oct, 2009, then you have to enter Aus by 10 May, 2010.

2) You have to stay for 4 years to apply for citizenship. The stay may or may not be a continuous one.

3) After validating your visa by visiting aus for the first time, yes, you can stay for 3 years outside australia but you have to make sure, you enter aus before your PR visa expires.

4) Not sure if there is an added advantage of PR on your Masters in Aus.

I hope it helps!!!!!!

If you apply for Masters to some Univ with A PR then there will some grants/fee reduction.

What about the case if the person is living in aus continuously for two years and then he get PR. Does it mean that he has to live there for further two more years to apply for Citizenship as his total stay will be 4 years or should it be four years after PR grant?

temp residency can count towards citizenship but some ( i think at least one year) must be PR
