Some top Australian universities have been accused of selling permanent residency to foreign students.
A population expert claims some universities have opened 'shopfronts' in Melbourne offering cheap business and IT courses providing the minimum requirements for a skilled visa application.
Students who finished the degrees could apply for a 485 visa, allowing them to study and work in the country for another two years, and then a skilled independent visa for permanent residency.
