The Federal Government has acknowledged some overseas students will be angry as it revamps Australia's skilled migration rules.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans is immediately scrapping the list of jobs used to pick migrants, replacing it with one more focused on highly-skilled work, meaning some overseas students will lose the chance to apply for permanent residency.
If the job they are studying for is not on the new list, foreign students will not be able to apply for a permanent residency visa unless an employer will sponsor them.
