Document Checklist | Permanent Residency (PR) Application with Character
When applying for Permanent Residency (PR) application in Australia, the Department of Home Affairs not only assesses your skills and eligibility but also evaluates your character. Meeting the character test ensures the individual meets the Australian standard and doesn’t pose a risk to the community.
However, if you are concerned that you may not pass the character test, it is best to speak with an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law for professional guidance in the process and prepare the necessary documentation to address any concerns effectively.
